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!

The dogs are having a stick chewing fest.

Look at that well manicured place!! We aren't nearly that civilized down on this end of the state, Stevarino!

Great dog picture!

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.

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.

Bring me one of those, I'm ready for another puppy. Zeus wouldn't mind a road trip to Illinois, would he?

Great pictures Steve ... My only concern is that the puppy-dogs in the pictures don't look 100% comfortable... ... ... 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.... ... Just a thought...

GSPTOPDOG
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.

My family used to raise them when I was young.
