    Inspired by zonomo's post Thinking About Getting A Dog, I thought some members might want to share pics of their dogs (sorry cat lovers, you'll have to start your own post)

    Anyway, I'll start. This is Cooper, a 3 year old cocker spaniel:

    Sorry to hear it Joe. We lost two of our dogs (both cockers, one died at age 9, the other age 16) in 2012.

    Cooper is a recent addition to the family.

    Haha I have a cat and a dog, but my dog is my baby and my cat is an asshole. So this is Tofu, a blonde long coated chihuahua. She is my baby girl Photo taken by me for a photography course. She is such a little model! Yeah yeah, I get weird about my dog, she is like family to me.

    Thanks for your kind words, Number Six. Henry was nearly fourteen and had been with us for thirteen years. He was a truly noble animal. I miss him like crazy.

    And Mister Zombie, of course dogs are family. In fact, in my case, they are much to be preferred to certain family members!

    Showing dog (or cat) pictures can be quite a challenge for space.

    Here is one of my dogs. American Pit Bull Terrier bitch named Kat. Rescue dog, about 6 months old and 50 lb. in this picture (from this Christmas)

    She loves me, cats, and kids. She is mischievous as hell, as well.

    Here she is at about 5 months with my grandson.

    Greetings,

    Here's Dottie. 3 years old. She's a Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog Mix. Super smart. Maybe a little too smart at times, almost as if she knows what your thinking. She loves playing Frisbee and doing agility. Very toy motivated! Lots of fun. Extremely loyal. High energy, but I love the breed.

    Thanks, Zonomo. "Dog people" get it about losing a dog: that you've lost your best friend and constant companion. Henry was a remarkable dog and I miss him every day.

    Not sure... they said his leg was dead and they were going to euthanize him, so this family saved him and paid for the operation... apparently he doesnt know the difference, they say he runs and plays with all the dogs at the dog park.

    I keep telling my wife we need this dog so that it can pair up with my son, who also has one leg

    I'll bet she didn't find any humor it that! But, you know how women are. Most women I've know weren't into animals. Personally, I prefer them myself. I like to tell non-animal folks with a slew of grand kids that kids are for people who can't have dogs.

    ... after 15 years of marriage, she pretty much is used to my sense of humor.. (off subject: this one time when my son was about 7 years old decided to talk back to my wife, of course she lit into him, anyways he had the audacity to say he was running away so my wife said fine go... as he turned to walk away I interjected and advised him to leave the leg.. it belonged to me since I paid for it.. the look on his face yes I can be such an ass sometimes)

    Oh - that sounds meant to be. Hope you can talk your wife into it. We've had many dogs over the years, including times we couldn't afford it - somehow it all works out. Good luck Cap'n.

    This was Katie. She was an American Eskimo/Corgi mix that my ex-wife and I shared. She died and only 2 1/2 years old and it nearly killed me. She so loved life. I ordered her a head marker and she's buried at the ex's place. We stood over her grave and cried together. they'll break your heart as much as any human loss.

    There were no digital cameras back then but I had a video camera and had some guys take the HI-8 tape and transfer to CD so I could make some hard copies.

    It always happens this way... but then we go out and do it all over again and get heart broken when they leave us but god damn they make life fun when they're around

    i was told by a therapist that the loss of a pet has the same emotional impact as the loss of a human to many people. the body's chemicals and mind sometimes cant distinguish the difference from someone (like a person or a pet) that loved you and that you loved.

    Katie was a little fireball...loved to run and roll around on the ground. Like most, she had a "sweet spot" on her side that you could scratch and one of her hind legs would start kicking like she was trying to start a motorcycle. I got a real charge out of that. she's been gone eight years and I still miss her. Sometimes I wonder if it really pays to love anything. They always seem to leave you.

    I think the impact of having lost her affected me more than the loss of some humans I've cared for. Maybe in part because she was so little and active and loved being alive and I knew all too well the finality of death. It's hard to explain in words.

    well thats the beauty... you dont need to. I (as others I assume) know exactly what you mean. No need to break your head trying to express it. I get it.

    It is hard to lose a loved one, whether human or animal... but in the end we move on and those memories and feeling brought on by said loved ones is what makes us who we are... they add to us something that we would never of had if it wasnt for them. So even though "they" always seem to leave us... "they" also bring something invaluable to us... love! without it we just arent complete.
    IMHO ... although we lose and have lost many loved ones in our life times... I wouldnt have it any other way... I cherish those memories and feelings more than all the money in the world. All my family members and animal companions that I have lost will live with me 'till the day its my turn to leave this world.

    Had one growing up. Smartest dog I ever knew.

    The ONLY problem was the dog shed like crazy in summer. With the fans we had going on all over the house, dog hair (and I mean lot) was all over - even floating in the air! lol. It got in everything - food, clothes, you name it.

    Still - great dog.

    You don't want a Corgi for sure. Year round shedding. They say it's seasonal but to me that means four seasons. No matter, I still love them.

    Glad there are a lot of animal lovers here, especially dogs. AS it has been said by many intelligent men "A merciful man is merciful to his beast".

    I have two pit mix rescues. One a friend found and i took in, another i found in south philadelphia near a highway living in a small wooded area. She hates all other animals except my other dog.
    they are quite a treasure.

    Here is Laxsmi.

    Here is Sita.

    They are both around 8-10 years old.
