Wow neebee. Patty sure looks like trouble! :o)
Redirt - sorry to hear about Laney. I'm sure she would want you to eat a whole box of Krispy Kremes! We're just lucky we could have such good friends to share a part of our life with.

So we took our two mutts out for dinner last night, at our favorite waterfront restaurant.
Leashed them to the outdoor table while we enjoyed food and drinks, watching clouds
darken above the Great Bay.
It was Sophie's first trip of this sort, she was on probation to see whether she'd behave.
Needn't have worried. Both dogs wagged their tails and made friends with passersby,
several of whom stopped to chat and tell dog stories of their own -- kinda like here on ST.
"Are they both rescues?" people asked, and smiled more to hear the answer.

Goatboy, Reilly, Cowpoke --
Still more signs that climbers' dogs are fortunate.

A friend of mine took his dog to the vet for a checkup. The vet commented that the dog had
been gaining weight, and could use more exercise.
My friend realized with embarassment that the fat dog came about because he himself no
longer went jogging.

Yesterday brought disheartening news for us, while our fur people went on about life.
This picture is for eKat, with thanks.
And thanks to Cowpoke, who shared a day with his daughters -- one of them took this photo.

Aaawwwwwwww eKat...I just went back a couple pages and read about TheBabyBlack. I wasn't around when she sauntered over the Rainbow Bridge, and I'm glad I wasn't. You'd posted so many great pix and stories of her, I'd have been crying for a month for your doggie and my virtual pet.
Don't know if anyone posted this in honor of Skadi; after Rainbow Bridge, it's my favorite accolade to the four-footed keepers of our hearts. It's for you and Laney, too, Reddirt.
"A Dog Well Remembered"
by Ben Hur Lampman, 1925
We are thinking now of a setter, whose coat was flame in the sunshine and who, so far as we are aware, never entertained a mean or an unworthy thought. This setter is buried beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden loam, and at its proper season the cherry strews petals on the green lawn of his grave. Beneath a cherry tree or an apple or any flowering shrub of the garden is an excellent place to bury a good dog.
Beneath such trees, such shrubs, he slept in the drowsy summer or gnawed at a flavorous bone or lifted head to challenge some strange intruder. These are good places, in life or in death. Yet it is a small matter. For if the dog be well-remembered, if sometimes he leaps through your dreams actual as in life, eyes kindling, laughing, begging, it matters not at all where the dog sleeps. On a hill where the wind is unrebuked and the trees are roaring, or beside a stream he knew in puppyhood, or somewhere in the flatness of a pastureland, where most exhilarating cattle graze. It is all one to the dog and all one to you, and nothing is gained and nothing is lost --if memory lives.
But there is one best place to bury a dog. If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call--come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down the well-remembered path, and to your side again. And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing:
The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master.
...in the heart of her master.

Introducing, The Dude, or Doodle Bug as he is affectionately known.
We spent ~5K on keeping him alive during the first year of life.
However, he has never shown any thing but an absolute zest for life. He has "it".
