Feel free to post your adorable doggie pics here!

[dipsydoodle]

1. Well that's good start.

[MoonRiver]

2. And who could not love this face?

[RebelOne]

19. My son breeds these bulldogs,

and he usually has a houseful of these cute little critters until they are sold to their forever homes.

[A HERETIC I AM]

43. I need to chat with your son.

Seriously.

I want a Frenchie.

[99Forever]

100. Excellent choice.

Here is my best friend Leo:

[A HERETIC I AM]

101. Awwww! Huggsies!

Sorry, but my default reaction is always....


SWEET SWEETY PIE PIE!!

[99Forever]

103. Was digging around in my Photobucket...

... and found this shot of this shot of 4 of the 6 in Leo's litter. I thought might get a kick out of it.

Left to right they are: Woody, LT (Long Tail), Leo, and Pookie.

104. Adorable!! n/t

[calimary]

68. Aww... what a cutie!

[navarth]

3. I am a cat person

who loves dogs. I think they're adorable. It's just that I love even more the ability to walk barefoot in my back yard. If it weren't for that.....

[shenmue]

4. Keisha

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

My baby went to Heaven last year.

[MoonRiver]

28. Shenmue, I'm so sorry. Keisha was beautiful.

We lost our precious doggie last January.

[shenmue]

29. Thank you

[calimary]

63. I bet Keisha has found lots of DU four-legged friends up there.

Too many sweet ones have passed from loved ones here lately.

[unionthug777]

[pinboy3niner]

13. LOL!

Great photo!

[calimary]

62. LOVE it!!!

[hobbit709]

6. My baby, in a rare moment of being still.

[blueamy66]

48. Name? Breed?

Looks a bit like our Raider...

[hobbit709]

91. Her name is Marcy. She's a lab mix of some kind. got her as a rescue.

[blueamy66]

96. she's pretty

[calimary]

60. OMG - look at those ears!

Love 'em!

[dem in texas]

7. My Pitbull Mix comforts me

I have been getting chemo and really feeling bad. Usually my Winnie will stay in the living room with my husband during the day, but when I lay down, she is right there curled up with me to give me comfort. So is my little sweet cat, Callie. Both these sweet animals are rescues and are both neutered. Animals bring so much joy to your life.

[Doremus]

30. Dem in texas, I had cancer but did not get chemo.

Our now deceased doggie comforted my husband and I thoughout the surgeries nonetheless. Dogs and cats are wonderful comforters

[etherealtruth]

38. I am so glad you have a wonderful dog to comfort you

(kudos to the cat as well)

Hoping all goes well for you and wishing you better times with Winnie, Callie and Mr Dem in Texas

My pitbull mix rescue is the love of my life

[blueamy66]

52. I had a Basset Hound named Winifred.

She was called Winnie, as well as about 15 other names.

Hugs to you...

[irisblue]

59. (((((dem in texas)))))

I have seen, in lab coat &scrubs, how hard is the road you are walking....much respect. Ear skritches for your furry one.

[calimary]

65. They DO bring so much joy and affirmation, don't they!

My dad's kitties kept him company in the last few years of his life, and he really enjoyed them. When visitors have to go home, your critters are still there. And they seem to know they're needed, don't they?

Comfort critters.

[redstatebluegirl]

8. Thanks for making me smile and say AHHHHH !

[backwoodsbob]

9. what an absolutely adorable dog

I'm in love....of course I could never have one...Junior would think it's a wind up toy or something....what a cutie

[RockaFowler]

10. My kids are great

[littlemissmartypants]

20. Adorable! eom

[blueamy66]

49. OMG!

Love them!

[calimary]

66. Awww...

[Scuba]

11. "The Girls"

[Cal Carpenter]

40. Is the one on the left a dudley lab?

I have one of those!! His coat is more fox red but he's got the pink nose and lighter eyes...

[Scuba]

41. I'm not familiar with dudley labs. She's a yellow lab, but you're right about the pink nose!

Not all her sibs had pink noses, but some did. Her fur is very pale yellow, almost white at times. If you need some, let me know. She sheds enough to make a whole 'nother dog every week.

[Cal Carpenter]

46. Looks like one to me, they are actually pretty rare

And don't "conform" to the standards as far as the show-dog hoo-ha.

From wiki:

"A colouration known as "Dudley" is also possible. Dudleys are variously defined as yellow Labradors which have unpigmented (pink) noses (LRC), yellow with liver/chocolate pigmentation (AKC), or "flesh coloured" in addition to having the same colour around the rims of the eye, rather than having black or dark brown pigmentation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador_Retriever

If you google "dudley lab" and click on images you'll see all sorts of pink lab noses. Sometimes a regular lab's dark nose will fade, but given the light pigment around your dog's eyes, I think you may have a dudley.

Mine looks a lot like this one (hyperlink so I hope it works)



As for the spare fur, no thanks, we've got plenty

[calimary]

69. Happy dogs!

[Scuba]

93. They'd been swimming, which is the happiest of happy times for them.

[ProfessorGAC]

92. I've Got A Boy Yellow

A particularly large one. Vet is impressed by his condition (from the side his stomach is nearly 4 inches higher than his chest) and he weighs 105. Heavy, not fat.

He's three and as i'm sure you know, he's not grown up yet. Labs take forever to grow up.

[magical thyme]

12. Jake and Luna

Jake always looks glum in pix. I think he thinks I'm trying to steal his soul...

And Dahli and Luna playing

[calimary]

61. Is that Luna running around with the big smile in front of the horse?

Great shot! Happy doggy!

[magical thyme]

87. yup!

Dahli used to treat him like her foal...grooming him, licking his back. Jake was closer to my elderly gelding, Algiers.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

14. Let's see if this works

[calimary]

72. Awww... so cute! I love when they bend their heads a little sideways.

[tblue37]

102. That is called "Baroo?" nt

[calimary]

106. ROFL!!!!!!!

[tblue37]

107. Don't give me credit. It is part of the standard vocabulary on

cuteoverload.com.

[calimary]

109. cuteoverload.com? Gotta go check that out!

Thanks, tblue37!

[tblue37]

110. Be careful--the site is absolutely *addictive*! nt

[calimary]

114. So warned!

[catbyte]

76. SQUEE! And I'm a cat person...

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

98. A dozen years later, they're still both cute

but their heads alone are as big as their entire bodies were back then.

We got the male blue at Christmastime, but he was so lonely when we left during the day that we got the female to keep him company a couple of weeks later.

[MohRokTah]

15. Cat person here.

Recced for the adorable pic of the pup.

[ariesgem]

16. Here's Theo...

my "lap dog" Theo getting comfy on my mother's lap.


My cat "appreciates" him, lol

[savalez]

34. Awesome!

[Scuba]

42. Beautiful!

Theo looks good too.

[ariesgem]

55. lol

Thanks

[calimary]

73. That's pretty damn funny!

We had a cat that absolutely mastered this pesky, twitchy, crazy skitzo shepherd we had once. That dog terrorized everybody - but the cat. The dog was terrified of the cat. They had ONE run-in. That's all it took. Dog attempted to bully cat. Cat got him smack-dab on the nose. All we saw when the noise subsided was this little bead of blood from where Ernie hooked the dog. That dog bowed and scraped to the cat from then on. We titled Ernie "World's Greatest Dog Trainer"!

[ariesgem]

88. A dog never forgets the sting from a feline's left/right hook..

The damage is done before a dog has time to blink. lol I have 3 cats and they look at him when they pass by like they're telling him "you better bring a pack".

[Rhiannon12866]

111. They are so cute together! Made me LOL!

But you can tell who's in charge in that relationship...

[mnhtnbb]

17. Snowy, my rescue dog, watching out the front windows for deer

with her Pterodactyl by her side.

[calimary]

74. Man, makes you want to schmoosh your face into that fur!

[malaise]

18. Oh Boy

That Doggie is too cute

[littlemissmartypants]

21. Thank you. nt

[redstatebluegirl]

22. How do I post a pic?

I am tech illiterate...

[calimary]

70. here: http://imgur.com

It's so easy even I can do it. If you have photos in your computer, you're halfway there already.

When you've uploaded and you get several links of the photo to choose from, use the one for "message boards and forums".

[elleng]

23. Yes they do!

[calimary]

82. That is a great dog!

Distinguished!

[elleng]

83. Yes, and very sweet too!

This one's from google images, but reminds me of our Bedlington Terrier Toni, long ago passed.

[lunatica]

24. Awww... What a great thread!

Thanks!

[avebury]

25. I wish I could like each doggie picture!

They are all so cute!

[MoonRiver]

32. Same here. I can't but they are all totally adorable!!

[blueamy66]

50. Love Jet!

nt

[hfojvt]

64. hah, my youngest is name Jet

only Jett with two t's, after the rocker.

Unfortunately she was raised by wolves, so she isn't the greatest anything. Maybe most destructive and quite cute, but just not as cool as my first two dogs, the worlds sweetest, Mitzi, and her son Blake (son of Boomer). Mitzi she just loved everybody, especially people she had met before.

[calimary]

84. Cool Jet!

[a kennedy]

33. I'm looking to find a wirehair wiener dog.....rescue would be the best.....

Or an older wiener dog would be great too.... Just want one bad. Have had 5 smooth hair wieners dogs, and my dream is to have a wirehair one.

[MoonRiver]

35. a kennedy, maybe you should start a new thread, which would get more visibility.

When I posted about losing my furbaby and that I was looking for a new one, somebody immediately replied to me about rescue dogs. Hope you get you new precious baby asap!

[a kennedy]

51. thank you.

but, to be so specific is not what people want to hear.....and I should just adopt a little fur ball and not specify a type, but, I have always wanted a wirehared dachshund. http://www.google.com/search?q=wire+haired+dachshund&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=_Y3AU4SwFo6VyATjtoDgDg&sqi=2&ved=0CBwQsAQ&biw=1317&bih=835

[mnhtnbb]

85. Have you tried Petfinder? You can specify a breed, age, gender for rescue dogs

even within so many miles of where you live.

https://www.petfinder.com/


That is how I found my Snowy. She was rescued out of a Georgia kill shelter
by a rescue group in South Carolina and now she lives with us in Chapel Hill, NC.


See my post #17 for a photo of her.

[nolabear]

36. Tucker and Merrily, crashed out.

[calimary]

71. Shhh... don't wake 'em up!

[calimary]

37. Goldie!

[ariesgem]

56. Beautiful dog

Sheps are my favorite!

[Gore1FL]

39. This is my buddy.

These were taken last week when he was in a Veterinary hospital as a result of a pit bull attack. He's home now, but he needs more surgery next week so they can close the wound.





He is lying on my chest. you can see my phone and I in the reflections in his eyes.

[calimary]

75. Dog nose!

I do love that top photo!

[catbyte]

77. Poor baby! Speedy recovery, darlin'.

[mnhtnbb]

89. Poor baby! Hope he recovers quickly.

It makes me so mad when owners don't restrain their mean dogs.

My Snowy has been attacked--twice--by the same damn pit bull mix in our neighborhood
while we were out walking and the dog just charged her from out of its yard. The first time,
I warned the neighbor I'd sic Animal Control on her...and the second time I did. Fortunately,
Snowy was never bitten (and neither was I) because I went alpha on that dog--screaming
and kicking at it.

Handsome feller, wasn't he?

[catbyte]

78. AWWWW

He was handsome indeed and a badass who didn't suffer fools to boot.

[bluedigger]

45. Okay, twist my arm...

And posing during a walk in the Black Hills.

[mnhtnbb]

90. Lucky pup to enjoy travels with you!

We take Snowy with us to the beach. Sometimes it's tough to find
pet friendly hotels, but now there is a website for that.
She also comes with us to Charleston when we go to the Spoleto Festival.

[bluedigger]

95. I think Cleo's been in about 30 of the states, by a ruff count.

[mnhtnbb]

97. Wow! 30 states!

Snowy's first trip with us was to a family wedding being held at a pet friendly hotel in, amazingly,
Marietta, GA, which is where the kill shelter was located from which she was rescued. She also
went with me to Florida in January 2013. So, she's been in only 4 states with us.

[blueamy66]

47. Raider

He's out chasing fireflies right now....

[Rhiannon12866]

112. What a sweet face! Adorable!!!

[blueamy66]

113. He is, but is such a handful.

He played with the neighbor kids for a few hours last night and behaved (didn't jump or knock them over).

Thanks!

I am currently a kitteh-person, but I still love the pooches!!

[raven mad]

80. My next-door-neighbor and good friend Josh has a neat pup -

mean as hell to anyone who doesn't "know" him, 1/2 malemute, 1/2 wolf and all sweetheart who LOVES my kitties (they go to the fence to "greet" him when he's out on his walks with daddy). Wonderful dog.

I love these critters - they are fun, funny, fun-loving and an absolute necessity in an Alaskan winter! (Where do you think Three Dog Night got their name?)
