I think they think the same of me. I hope so at least.
Appreciate you all putting up with my sharing. These dogs are my life.

A few retro pics. Maybe even posted prior.

Bear at the bar with a beginner gambling issue. In awe every interaction with him. They call them a giant breed for a reason. Picture ain't worth a thosand words. People stop and stare on walks. Big!
Sweet Elsa. Most patient dog to date. Low maintenance. Shower with love, respect and discipline, reciprocity abound. Her tail cracks me up. Quite the Gothic look. White with black eyeliner, lips, nose. Beauty.
Each has such unique features, like we all do. Beautiful and funny at the same time.
Sweet souls the both of them.

Blessed!

Jerry
Beautiful pictures of your crew Jerry. I love seeing these dogs too.

Thanks Cudgee my Friend. Lost at times trying to make sense of things outside the dogs. A solid most every time. Known minor faults as we all have.

Love to see your crew and clan Mark. So sorry about loss of Tucker. Hardest, most awful, thing to deal with in life, in my opinion.
Dogs are the best things on this planet. Cats and other animals rank not far behind, in my opinion. Besides sane loved ones and other humans.
AMEN!

Take care all.

Wind has been blowing since last something fierce. I have not picked up sticks yet.
The dogs are having a stick chewing fest.

Thank you Ike,
The truth is all my grass is terrible I have not paid trugreen or any of those places since 2019. I lost my job back then never really felt like dropping 300 bills plus a season. Be sides the cost I don’t want the dogs rolling in the chemicals they put down and the male dog chews the turf sometimes. The creeping Charlie is taking over. If you look close I think it’s been so dry one of the dog’s has burned brown spots all over.

Great pictures Runner. Truly a nice mix of critters and clan you have there.

Mr. BEAR. Gentle giant, yet a force to be recokned with. Sweet Boy till he he isn't, given the circumstance.

Weighed in at 160# last year. Likely more now. No fat, solid muscle. Stud...
Handsome fellow to boot.

Jerry love those pictures of Mr. Bear there. I am a big softie when I see those big working dogs. We unfortunately had to put down our German shepherd Jake 13yrs and Great Pyrenees Kota 4 yrs this past year. It’s been tough. But seeing pictures of your guy makes me happy. Have a good one Jerry.

Thanks Mark. I love that dog. He is one of my best friends. Elsa as well.
When I first got Bear three years ago this month (he is 4 years old now), Elsa was terrified as he used sheer weight, strength and power to establish dominance. Literally, afraid he would break her legs, WWE style. She finally had enough, half pint to his full pint in weight. She rules the roost. Brother, Lover, who knows.
Hope you are well Brother!

Sorry for you loss Runner. I have never forgot the memories of my passed dogs. Never will.

A couple pics of my fellow pirates together...

::hmm::... I took a trip a FEW WEEKS AGO AND stopped by the kennel where a female GSP I had come from. 🤗Nothing quite like sitting on the ground and being smothered in a "puppy-pile" 🤗🤗🤗

Nice
And always nice to be smothered by a puppy pile or even a Dog pile.
Most mornings if I am the first one up(most mornings). I get to the bottom stair in our house and I have Red the male dog in my face and Piper the female sitting human like on the stair above me. Pawing me to pet her as well. There’s not much of a better greeting than that.
As apposed to 20 minutes chase the cat naps. Which sometimes involves three of us sharing the couch.

So true Steve. Dogs greet us like no others. If I laid on the couch like that and my boy Moki one of our Golden Retrievers was up there, he would take that as a sign of submission and stand over me or sit on me. My Tucker, we lost him the day after Christmas last year, would sit on anyone lying down, he played a lot of macho head games with everyone and every dog.

Great pictures Steve 👍👍... ::skeptic:: My only concern is that the puppy-dogs in the pictures don't look 100% comfortable... ::uc:: ... ::hmm:: ... Maybe you could place a couple of large pillows and or a throw rug over your body to level out the space for them to lay on.... ::paranoid:: ... Just a thought... ::shrug::

Thanks Mark, .... :shock: I hope I never win the lottery... ::paranoid:: .... I would be out of control with the number of puppies I would have and still NOT being able to say "NO" when it came to getting more and more dogs.... ::facepalm::

that was the only picture I could find. Plenty of times they both use me as the rug. As a matter of fact they used me as such from about 4:30-5:30 this morning. I went downstairs to check the basement and sump pump. Didn’t want to wake the Bride I laid down and they piled in.
We definitely love the animals. Two dog limit, we can’t find anyone to stay with them so we can go on vacation.

Awesome shorthair pups GSP.
My family used to raise them when I was young.

Cool pics Steve. Dogs are the best. Great pics.

Hey Mark. Hope you and your clan are well.

Best to all.

Zeus must be part cat TopDog. That’s such a feline move.
