Cold this morning....good thing we have a good draft blocker for the door.

Good girl. Stay!

[Deaf Bob]

Catahoula?

[STINEY]

Dutch Shepard. Smart as a whip, loyal to a fault. Great company and well tempered.

[DanStokes]

And very good at her job, obviously. Rub an ear for me.

I've never seen those marking on a dog. She's beautiful, and useful too

[STINEY]

That is actually a terrible picture of her......makes her look tubbyish.

She is actually much prettier in person, errr, dog?





Cute puppy....but aren't they all?


This was her predecessor. Another Dutchie, courser hair and more pronounced muscles.







I love my family, and dogs are family.

Dog's tellin you it's too hot in the house? Thanks for posting the other pics, I was about to give you hell about keeping that dog out of the leftovers!

[sueunit]

You are absolutely correct, can more fully appreciate her beauty in the additional pictures. I love the first follow up you posted, sitting with the kids.

[Dan Barlow]

Fine dog. I'll try to post up pics of my foot warmer.

[Dan Barlow]

I messed up. He got up.

That is one great looking pooch - I look forward to meeting her some day - makes me want to reconsider getting Lee a dog - but probably not until his Mom's travel schedule calms down, if that ever happens, for now, he has Thor, the blue beta fish.... much easier poop clean up.

on the subject of COLD.... I'm trying to wrap my head around a $250 natural gas bill for the last month on top of the fact that the wood stove insert was running 24/7 during that time, I seal and peel caulked every opening window in the house, and we had spray foam insulation sprayed on all the knee walls. I guess we still need more insulation in the attic. I better get used to cellulose buggers, yuck.

TGIF everyone - and a Friday the 13th to boot.

I can't imagine growing up without a dog, and the one I grew up with wasn't really a dog, but a miniature poodle.
