I never said they were smart...just pretty, sweet and loveable!
Yup! Just the same as kids..ummm..take advantage every chance they get.
Smart. I have to assume all dogs are. Do as they are told most of the time, suck up when needed, give you googy eye treatment. Oh well, kids are the same. But the thing in common with dogs and kids (my grandkids anyway) is the similarities in training methods. Keep them hungry they listen better!! LOL!

Dan,

Beautiful looking dogs ! Wow....they grew fast. Beautiful shot of the fall foliage with the loft back drop.

Are they showing signs of wanting to protect the territory from various critters yet ?

Warren,

No Doubt! They have both discovered their "Big Boy Bark" as we call it! I think they enjoy hearing themselves.When they are outside they will bark at just about anything that moves anywhere near the property. It is getting harder and harder to get Pablo to come in at night. He is much happier spending the night outside "guarding" his territory. I don't know what he would do if someone strayed into the back yard. Probably lick him to death, but we would know about it, that's for sure!

It is interesting to note that these dogs are typically more active at night as that is when they are more "on duty" when guarding a flock of sheep or whatever they are guarding. During the day they are more inclined to sleep in the sunshine in between rounds of walking their territory.

Dan

My newest security is MAXY - a rottweiler. I doubt that anybody has to be off there head before they try jump in.

Hey Maggie


In case you were wondering why we got two dogs like Great Pyrenees, these pictures should answer that question. You can't do this with a Chihuahua on a cold winter night!!

This has become a nightly ritual in our house. It is a race to see who can get to the floor first to get the "Puppy Lovin' " and can you say warm! Boy, when you get in between the two of them its better than any electric blanket on the market. Of course you have to watch out for those wet kisses every now and then!

Hope you guys enjoy.

Dan

Wow.....what happened to those "little" cute little puppies you had ?!

Maybe the more relevant question is... would you chance it?!

Dan, you know I was thrilled when I saw the new post "pop" up. Boy, have they grown! And, I am SO JEALOUS. I imagine they are now almost as large as I am and they really would keep me warm. The last picture is especially wonderful with those sweet faces looking at the camera.

The vet I mentioned once who has a GP now has a column in a local paper and she features her dogs often in the column and pictures. I'll see if I can find one of the pictures she has. Thing is, I think she has trimmed hers since I last saw him and he doesn't look quite the same.

Well, you enjoy them for me and thank you so much for the new pictures to add to "my" collection of them.

What BIG Kids you have There. Guess They Pushed You Out Of Bed And Made You Sleep In The Floor. As I Think Only 1 dog in A Bed At A Time So the Other Had To Sleep On The Floor With You . They Are Very pretty Kids. Ya i Don't Think I'd Come In the yard If i saw Them Big Boy even If They Would Only Lick Me To death.
