The Dog Thread

Recommended Posts

The other morning I was looking at something in the back shed, and apparently Jovie is figuring out the side by side is not bad to ride in.  I was wasn’t even by it, but she thought that’s what we were there for! C94D2C18-EE04-48CC-A77C-067F111E8030.thumb.jpeg.4ed6c9c7cdf25d33f92edc71b08d9d97.jpeg

Well, Lisa got a shelter dog. Half Great Dane half Great Pyrenees. She is 4 years old and a tripod. No idea what happened to her back leg. Amputated mid thigh. Really sweet girl who had been at the shelter the longest.

...Good call there , Lisa and Nick...!!

..if you were ever into Tom T Hall's  wonderful music, you might recall that his wife, had a three legged  dog.....called   ''Tripod ""

...pretty sure he referred to his Wife as    ""Miss Trixie ""...but I could stand corrected on that one.....

...and as a bit more useless information ...for all the "'Hound "" lovers on this fine site / topic....New Zealand  has the second highest   dog  population    , per capita ,...after   the United States of America....and due to the current fiscal mess New Zealand is in......with the cost of living index at an all time high....the "'Dog Shelters''  / Council Dog  pounds etc...are literally   overflowing....because even dog and cat tucker has gone up in price by 19%   according to Statistic's Dept...hence the peasants cannot afford to feed the hounds, in a lot of cases......

In saying that...there is a bunch of people that should never be allowed the  privilege   of   ''owning '' a dog.....period..

Could have wider effects too -

A bloke I worked with had this story.  Seems he had friends on the wilder side of motor cycles and they came to visit at one stage.  Big session in the pub and he was wondering how he was going to feed them. They assured him they had brought their own,

They got back to his place and out came the frying pan and the tins of dog food.

I’m very sure that you are correct. I had forgotten about his tripod though

One of the 3 suggestions of the Bloomberg report proving to be true, euthanize your pet 🤬

Kind of the same thing happened today to Winston. Mom went in to the truck to get some tools and left. Dad came back a hour or two later and put the tools back and here’s Winston laying on the truck seat waiting lol. He had jumped in while mom wasn’t looking and figured he was going for a truck ride lol.

There is a dive sight called Sheriton caverns off shore of Kauai. A resident green sea turtle is often seen there named Tripod.  Missing its back left leg. Most likely from a shark .

Jeanie stopped to gas up her company car at the local station the other day.

She left the driver's door open while she filled up

When she went to get back in there was a yellow lab sitting in the passenger seat.😄

She had to go into Cody Oil and buy a beef stick to coax him out

Wish she would have gotten a pic🤣

It’s with a sad heart that Emmy can’t stay with us.😢 Dolly was having no part of another female dog close to her age. We might try a young male, or maybe we will just have to be a 1 dog house for now. 
Emmy was really trying!

I am very sorry to hear that Nick

She looked like a real sweetheart.

We went through that when we tried to adopt Paisley a while back only it was the other way around.

She took over the house and tried to push Cash out.

 

When we adopted Tuff I told them Cash will have the final say in whether we can keep him or not.

I watched him close and there was absolutely no change in him whatsoever.

We were very lucky and happy that Tuff fit into the family like he belonged here.

Emmy just hasn't found her new home and family yet.

The perfect fit is out there and I pray they are brought together very soon.

You and Lisa tried Nick.

That speaks volumes to me.

maybe she should have used her left hand.....for leading....instead of for throwing???

...we could use @lorenzo's input into this dilemma....he has that ability to think out into the left......and we all know he loves his hounds.......:rolleyes:
