Yes my friend, I understand. Jeeps are replaceable, our old friends are not. Sorry for the pain as I understand it. My Lab Nikki is 10-1/2 years old. She is getting slow in her step but I hope many more memories like today, and the upcoming and future hunting seasons. I know at some point soon it will be rough.

I have heard some say, dogs don't have souls. I don't agree with that personally. An animal(s) like that that has brought so much joy to me and others, certainly has a spot reserved in heaven in my opinion. I hope heaven has good waterfowl and big game hunting. I am sure it does. Too bad I can't bring my rifles and shotgun with me. I am sure the man upstairs has plenty I can borrow.

Have been at my sister's home in the Florida Panhandle this past week and today we visited with one of my nieces.

DeeDee is her nickname and this is her dog, Zeus.

Zeus is a French Mastiff or Dogue De Bordeaux and I have no idea how much he weighs.

He is, however, one of the most gentle, docile dogs I have ever seen.

There is an older Golden Retriever in the home and Zeus is totally submissive to him.

There are four children in the home. Three were in school and the boy, lucas, in the picture can play with the dogs with zero trouble. They just let him do whatever.

Zeus is just a big baby.

Don't know what he'd do if anybody tried to harm a family member and I chose not to test him on that.

If any saw the movie Turner and Hooch with Tom Hanks, then they saw this French Mastiff who was Hooch. Very entertaining film; well worth seeing.

As I understand it, prior to the release of Turner and Hooch, there were very few of this breed in the U.S.

Zeus is a three year old un-neutered male and has yet to be offered as stud.

Beautiful dog. Loved my wife, but a bit wary of me for some reason. He did finally let me pet him.

Adult males weigh between 125 and 150lbs.

I suspect he's well within that range.

Beautiful dog.

Cal, Jenny is a cutie. Is she a miniature Schnauzer?

I was amused last evening by Miss Joy's buddy, Flossie, an Aussiedor. What a way to sleep, that's her dog bed above her head. ::hmm::

We have a litter of English Shepherd pups, and another litter to be born any day. Lol. It’s babies everywhere right now.

Here’s the current Mom and Dad. The male dog wants to get to those puppies so bad and sniff them over, but momma won’t have it at all lol. Poor feller, this is her first litter and she hasn’t forgiven him yet.

Here is Remington. Chocolate Lab of course. Dog came all the way from Muleshoe TX. Kieth gifted her to my kids. But she has become my dog. Best big dog I believe I have ever had. She is great with my kids which are 8-5-3. We were talking one day and we were talking how the kids need a dog. He began to tell me about this pup he had picked out of his litter and was gonna keep for himself..... well as you can see that didn’t work out like he planned. He drove the dog all the way from Muleshoe TX to Unicoi TN. Thank you kindly kieth we all appreciate her.

Great pets everyone. Kind like our varied interest in knives. Lots of unique critters.

Not to single one out but Justin’s post hit home for me. Beautiful dog Justin and good on you Keith. Congratulations to both my friends.

My 11 year old chocolate lab was sick a couple weeks ago. Clogged nostrils and no energy. Figured it was a respitory thing but her stomach was swollen.
Basically within one week (who knows how long it was brewing), full blown cancer and internal bleeding. Too week and old for surgery or treatment. I asked doc what you do if it was your dog. I trust this doc very much. Kind of expected the answer. I loved that dog. In shock a bit. Figured her time was coming given her age but did not expect to have to put her down that day.

Lost a good friend that day.

My other dog just doesn’t understand why she is not there. Freaked out.

They say animals don’t have souls therefore cannot go to heaven. Could be misquoting that but I heard opinions on this.
Personally, I cannot believe a creature God made is not allowed in heaven. No reply required as I am not trying to start a theological discussion. Just mourning.

Miss her greatly. She was my best friend. Hope God has a spare shotgun I can borrow in heaven assuming I keep on the straight and narrow.
