The cutest guy ever! We have two cats and two dogs at home and i honestly can't imagine my life without those guys anymore.
They often bring us little troubles here and there but with the Pet express it is always very easy to sort those out.
Last time it was about a month ago when our youngest cat decided to bring home fleas.

Looks like puppies first day of school and years later picked up drunk at a high school party.

Given that it's (Inter)national Dog Day today....

It is a really good thing our dogs are not spoiled! This is Reuben, he had his supper a couple of hours ago, played a while, then hunted in the back yard for any rodents and tasty bugs. We have the AC running and the couch gets direct air from the ceiling AC vents. Reuben is as cold natured as possible for a dog with hair.

My wife had some scrap yarn so she knitted him a little blanket. So on the couch under his custom made hand knitted blanket, with his head resting on the other dog blanket. You can see his box of toys in a box on the floor. Yep, he ain't spoiled at all.

Completely worth it! Sherlock was always spoiled, but I tried to keep him as comfy and happy as possible the past couple of years before he passed this summer.

Reuben is just 10, and very active and healthy. He is pure hound dog, and loves to hunt for cicadas. A cicada is his favorite treat, he loves to hunt for them emerging from the ground. If I find one in the front yard and it is near death and not flying I will call him over and he hits is like it is the best treat ever.

In the early summer as the cicadas are stirring, he will walk around in the back yard, nose to the ground and smell one about to emerge. He will dig down a little and yank it from the ground. It gets to look like I had a small meteor storm. Just like the Arizona crater, on a few inches across. We fill it back up, and the Bermuda grass comes back fast.

Crickets and June bugs are treat as well.

Curt, there are some dog portraits that just capture the essence of Dog and that is one of them. Great pup. Makes me think I need to save another one.

[CurtEgerer]

I know. He's a character. Got him when he was 4. Spent the first 4 years in a kennel He knew NOTHING when I got him. Didn't know how to walk on a leash, didn't know toys, didn't know his name or any commands for that matter. Took a year or so to show him how to relax and have fun. He loves being around people.

Capt Ahab: those pics are hilarious!

Due to a heart murmur, vet says to limit 14 year old Teddy’s exercise. But he insists on going when we walk the others. Went for his first walk in a stroller and loved it. Sat still, looked around, sniffed the air...and was taller than the St. Bernard he bosses around.
