Criminally cute cache of puppy photographs and wallpaper images.

I just was going to post on that, got it from friend Krista. missed your post.

Great video, just great.

Here are my two pound dogs, Mac and Frankie.

You mutt friends are quite classy and huggable looking!

Gorgeous creatures - thanks for posting the photo.

Lovely. Thanks for the photo.
(Although I was expecting much smaller dogs )

Mac is only 40lbs but Frankie is now 90lbs! not sure what he is, he was found roaming the streets of St. Pete with three other dogs and picked up by the shelter, he only had two days left before being put down, and he's such a sweet dog!

Same with my corgi.. when I called the local humane society about him after seeing his ugly photo (wish I'd saved that) in the local news rag, they told me to hurry, he was a smidge away from being there a month, the deadline literally. So I did hurry. Took him home in the pouring rain.

I'd been attracted to corgis, which I'd no clue about previously, generally liking mutts, by the poor lamb across the street, a guy left out in the back yard surrounded by chain link on a fairly busy street, when his guardian, a nurse on a six month job, was at work. Quite the barker, that one was, and I named him Sparky. Plus we had a land design client that had a corgi named Sunny, what a charmer. Thus my business partner called me when she saw a corgi in the local newspaper humane society ad. Now there was serendipity.

p.s. Pacco didn't bark all that much, at least not problematic.

A screenshot from the movie, Cowboy Beebop: the Movie of the famous chess playing Ein, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, from the legendary anime of the same name.

Oh, my....

I have noticed that a fair amount of the corgi videos I've watched are japanese.

This is both charming to me and annoying..

The ultimate dog tease

Saw that video brought up my someone on Facebook.

Very funny yet very cruel !

This is a dog story I love. Which reminds me of another story..

But first:

Tenacious dog escapes Oregon veterinarian office
Tuesday, May 10, 2011

After three late-night escape attempts from an Oregon veterinarian's office, a German shepherd named Jack finally made it.

The Medford Mail Tribune reports the crafty canine managed to pull open his kennel, trip the dead bolt on the clinic's back door and pull down the handle to get outside.

He set off three motion-detector alarms on the way and managed to rip open four bags of food.

The dog roamed seven miles from the vet's office, but only made it home when animal control officers took him to a shelter where he was reunited with his worried family.

A veterinarian calls the dog's recovery from flulike symptoms "impressive."


Re what that reminded me of:
We used to work with a doctor who also raised and trained shepherds. He had among other attributes great story telling ability. One day he was talking about his german shepherds again, this time about the burglar that the dog heard approaching the front door. He did not bark a warning. The door opened quietly. The dog attacked and got the burglar in his grip - it's a long time ago so now I forget quite what part body part was in the burglar's grip. The doc was watching, of course. Police were called..
