Somewhere in the land of 'missing pictures' I have a few pictures of "Athena" the white lab my now ex-wife picked out.

She was probably smarter than most kids, and like a kid she would pee in her 'play pool', AND she was undoubtedly more intelligent than ANY of today's milleneals 

Didn't know such a beast existed Art. Hope you can find your pics, would love to see them.

This is from the old interweb

I have shared a few pictures of mine before. He is now my automated Covid test machine, when he is sitting this close and farts there is no doubt I can smell it .

If you can smell it, good no COVID. If you can taste it, bad. Still no COVID, but bad for other reasons!

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them..

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'

'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.

Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.

Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up'.The man gestured, and the gate began to open.

'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveller asked.

'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'

'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in..'

'How about my friend here?' the traveller gestured to the dog.

There should be a bowl by the pump.'

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked.

This is Heaven,' he answered.

'Well, that's confusing,' the traveller said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'

'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's ****.'

'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'

'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'

When our yorkie passed in '18 I read a similar story about the rainbow bridge, we have had joe for a year and a half and I still can't read this stuff without getting misty,

That is so true. Guy I work with had a lab named Elvis for almost 15 years. When the dog died he swore up and down he would never have another dog. A few months later his teenage daughter came home with a boxer puppy that was supposed to be hers. Yeah right, my friend had a special place for "Snickers" right next to him in his brand new truck very soon after that and they were inseparable.

LOL, my youngest drove out to the hayfield after school one day. Thought he was coming to help.

As he was walking up to the mower tractor I could see he was carrying something, a little border collie pup. No, No, No, we don't need a third dog! He never said a word, just put him in my lap. Dammit.

Ten years later, I'm glad he knows me so well ?

[KWRB]

I did that with a stray cat. Three years on, not only was I unsuccessful at giving her away, but even though my wife found her and nursed her back to health, and even though she lives upstairs in my daughter's room, she is always all over me. That cat loves me.

Well, maybe not "Love". If she were a dog it would be love. She might actually know I tried hard to give her away, and she might know that I couldn't not pay a few mortgage payments' worth of vet bills to save her. It might actually just be spite, and rubbing it in my face that she won.
