Rutager, Matt,

If the virtue of men is brought out by dogs, your recent deeds are perfect examples.

Long lives and good times for both you and your companions.

Through it all, it is worth it, you guys prove my point.

I cannot express my gratitude for what you do for these dogs Rutager. You have just what these dogs need the most...a big heart ! God bless you, and love them up for me too !

First evening the four of us on the new deck. Construction is essentially done. I need to string the stainless cabling, do a little sanding and sealing. The pups seem to approve. They’ve wondered why they couldn’t go through the slider for the last three weeks, lol.

Got a collar just like that for my pup from Gun Dog Supply and everyone asks where I got it.

Meet Benjamin..............Ben Jamin!

One year old rescue pit, only $175 chipped, shots, balls cut off. Had him 3 or 4 days now, got him for my 60th Bday present to myself after putting down my 15 year old dog 2 weeks ago..........the tail wags on.

I got her collar from a local pet and feed store. I liked the simple Latigo stitched leather and the natural color seemed right for her. It’s made by Circle T.

She’s my constant companion. The wife brought her home while I was working in the field. Came home for XMas, we bonded instantly and that was that.

Irritates my wife to no end because she had her for several months before I came home and I had no idea, was a total surprise to me.

Dogs know.

My ex-wife has a dog she takes with her everywhere. Dog tries to leave with us every single time, or stay if she leaves first

^^^ Nice!

I take Dottie out for at least an hour every day. The trails around the farm and other properties adjacent to mine are great. End of the track is the western end of the farm and she always goes for a dip. Yesterday was as calm as the Potomac gets:



Then a grass-ex:

Rusty, congrats on the new pup !!

I would sure love to see a picture of him !

Today marks 2 months since my beloved Tilly passed away. I still am very sad , but it is my new normal.

Lilly and Boomer are doing great ! At 12 months and 9 months...the training is constant. My wife started Lilly on agility training. Lilly loves it and is very good. Yesterday I took her, she is very smart and a pleasure to learn with. The instructor was very impressed with how well she behaves under my command. She made me look good. To her it is effortless, she will do anything for a treat. She is not afraid of any of the equipment, if I command, she does. She is pretty awesome and a joy.

We do enjoy a nap together. She likes to be close.

Boomer is a great big brother to her and he is my constant companion, much like Tilly was. It is not the same, but it works for both of us.
Both pups hang out , in visual range when I am working outside or on my classic out in the barn. They will even step into the car and lie down on the back seat while I putter on the car.

All in all, I miss the heck out of Tilly, but these two make me very, very happy.

Good dogs !

Fred and Finn have joined Baxter in the family now. We are now "those people", the crazy dog people with 3 Boxers.... LOL







Cheers

[Steve Carlton]

Awesome!

[Jeff Alton]

Thanks Steve.

I will have a guitar you will love to show you when it is completed in a few months....

[Baz]

Congrats, Jeff - Boxers are a very fun breed!

Man, your turf looks really good!

[Steve Carlton]

I've heard Boxers never grow up. My old groomer used to have one and one time he thought she was in danger and he was chained up to a cleat in the wall of the kitchen. He ripped the cleat out of the wall and went right through a glass door to protect her.
