No matter how bad it gets, remember this-- your dog still loves you! (Pic)

[Cuban_Liberal]

Ours have provided us with more comfort this week than they will ever know.



('Hi, Dad!' pic :P )

1. I wish I had a dog.

:cry:

[Cuban_Liberal]

2. You can cuddle with mine.

They're big ol' lumps of love!

:hug:

[bigwillq]

4. OK! Feel better!

:hug:

[MuseRider]

3. That is perhaps

the truest statement I have read in a long time. Mine are saving my sanity and my soul. How can you want to strangle someone when you have the waggies and licks going on. There are certain things in this life that just make keeping on worthwhile and doggies are one of those things. CL :hug: for you, Paddy and your doggies.

On edit that is one of the funniest pictures I have seen in a while. good one, is that Brody?

[Cuban_Liberal]

5. Dogs are helpful with perspective, I've found.

How is your menagerie?

:hug:

[MuseRider]

7. Unreasonably happy.

I don't know what else to say. Our lab practically folds himself in half when you walk in the room. Cracks me up.

[Cuban_Liberal]

9. Ours are ECSTATIC that the election is over!

We were gone sooooooooooooo much until Tuesday that they're in 7th Heaven, now that life is returning to a normal schedule.

:)

6. You're so right

My dog and my new kitten have provided me with SO much comfort lately. No matter how bad things get, I can count on them to make me feel at least a little better

[GingerSnaps]

8. He looks so happy

I wish that I had a dog :cry:

[Cuban_Liberal]

10. He's the happiest dog I've ever met.

:hug:

[GingerSnaps]

17. How old is he, what's his name and were did you get him at?

If you haven't noticed I am a very nosy person. He looks like he gives you big wet puppy kisses and he looks like he sits next to you and helps you eat your meals. :)

I miss having a dog but I can't get one until I am out of College.

[Cuban_Liberal]

21. He's almost 11 months.

I was on a call last winter about a dog that had been hit by a car. His mother had been hit and killed, and I found him and his sister in the ditch, near her body. My buddy took his sister, and I took him. I'm guessing they were MAYBE 5 weeks old, just barely weened. Since Day 1, I've been 'dad', although he still loves Paddy, too.

:)

[GingerSnaps]

27. That is so sad

It's people like you and your partner that make the world a better place to live in. :hug:

[helnwhls]

11. whadda cutie pie

Thanks for sharing such a hppy picture!

[Cuban_Liberal]

12. Dat's muh boy!

He's the one I rescued last winter.

:)

[China_cat]

13. Mine pretend nothing went on

Left to right, Bailey, Rosie and Dot

[Cuban_Liberal]

14. Awwwwwwwwwwww!

What sweeties!

:D

[linazelle]

57. All I can say is, that's a lot of hair--especially during shedding season

but they're beauties. I have one. Meet Simba the lioness.

[smbolisnch]

60. She is so pretty!!!

She reminds me of a dog I had when I was little, Taffy.

[Dookus]

15. no kidding...

this week my pup's in a super-clingy "I want my Daddy" stage. It's annoying, but damn, it sure feels good when he ignores 20 other people to come running to ME.

[Cuban_Liberal]

16. I have my shadow back, and so does Paddy.

If either of us leaves, the remaining one has TWO shadows.

;)

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. PS--- what a CUTIE!

:D

[Dookus]

22. thanks

he really is gorgeous. I can't walk him anywhere without getting TONS of attention, which of course, he adores.

[Cuban_Liberal]

26. What's his name, Dookus?

:)

[Dookus]

28. His name is Tucker

but I started calling him Bubba Tuck and now I call him Bubba when he's good and Tucker when he's bad :)

[Cuban_Liberal]

29. Hehe!

We do the nickname/formal name thing, too-- and they understand. Isn't it odd?

:)

[GingerSnaps]

24. Your baby is cute

I had a Pug when I was a kid. I love your little guys face.

[smbolisnch]

30. All the dog pics are adorable, but this little guy gets me.....

He is just so adorable. I am partial....here is Boo, my baby.
Hopefully, I can get this to work!

[Cuban_Liberal]

31. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

He's adorable!

:D

[smbolisnch]

32. Thank you!!!

I wish I knew how to get the pic to show up in the post!! :shrug:

[Cuban_Liberal]

37. Like this:

(img) URL (/img)
Substitue brackets for the parentheses, and be sure it's on a site that permits you to link offsite. Geocities and yahoo don't, I know. We use photobucket.com .

:)

[smbolisnch]

40. That was my problem.....

I was using geocities. Thank you!!

[Cuban_Liberal]

42. My pleasure, and a belated 'welcome to DU'!

:hi:

[smbolisnch]

44. Thanks for the welcome!

And I'm so glad to be here! You guys have kept me sane over the last couple of months! :grouphug:

[smirkymonkey]

53. How do I copy a picture from "My Pictures" in windows to

a post? I saved pics to my C drive, but now there is no URL so I don't know how to copy them to another location.

[Cuban_Liberal]

54. Upload them to the web.

Try photobucket.com, then post the pic's URL into the message window.

:)

[smirkymonkey]

58. Thanks! Here's Gus & Ruby, my nephew and niece.

Ruby's the one with the bow..

[Dookus]

33. awww...

what a sweetie? What is he? The head's shaped like a Dane.

[smbolisnch]

34. He is a boxer.

I don't know about everywhere else, but around here, you don't see many white boxers. I wouldn't call them rare, but he is for the area :) I know that many breeders drown the white puppies when they are born. They can't be shown or bred (as if we need more breeding going on) and breeders supposedly fear that if buyers know there are white puppies in the litter it will tarnish the rest of them. Isn't that horrible?? Grrrrrrrr :mad: Boo came from Boxer rescue, and he is the best dog.....everyone just loves him! I can't blame them.

[Dookus]

35. sweet

Boxers are awesome. And *I* was unaware there were white ones.

You didn't crop his ears (thankfully) so I didn't see the typical boxer head on him.

I adore boxers. If I decide to get Tucker a playmate, it may well be a boxer.

[smbolisnch]

38. No on the cropping....

I have worked for vets and seen it done so many times. It really is very brutal. :( And I think his floppy ears are his sweetest, softest part! Boxers just rock. I have had them since I was a kid, and I don't know if I could ever live without one!!

[helnwhls]

36. he loves you

thanks for the cute pix

[Cerridwen]

18. I love that picture. It remind me of how mine wake me from a

nap; on those rare times I take them.

My two have been reminding me of what are the truly important things.

Let me out.

Let me in.

Treat. Not that kind, the other one.

I need a lap.

Cover me with the blanket.

Pet me now. Okay, that's enough.

Let me out.

Let me in.

Someone's at the DOOR!!!!!

Treat.

etc.



:hi:

[Cuban_Liberal]

20. You left out...

'Tummy rub time!'

:P

[Cerridwen]

23. OMG! You're so right. I was trying to keep it short. They are also

big on the whole "butt scratch."

:shrug:

[Cuban_Liberal]

25. LOL!

Yep, that too!

;)

[American Tragedy]

39. Allright, how do you post an image?

I've tried this before but it didn't work.

[Cuban_Liberal]

41. Like this:

(img) URL (/img), but substitute brackets for the parentheses, and make sure the site that hosts the image permits off-site linking.

:)

[Dookus]

43. you don't even need the image brackets..

just post the URL

the trick people don't get is how to get the URL for a pic:

First, the pic must be on the web somewhere. Photobucket and other sites will host them for free. Then, right-click on the photo and choose "Properties". A url will be shown - highlight it, copy it, then just paste it into your post.

(giggling at how many wasted keystrokes Cuban Liberal has wasted over the years)

[Cuban_Liberal]

45. Smarty pants!

*whacks your behind with his hand*

:P

[Dookus]

46. FINALLY

we're getting somewhere!

[Cuban_Liberal]

47. Ask me about 'cuffs, some time...

:evilgrin:

[Dookus]

48. pshaw

like I don't have my own.

Are YOURS fur-lined?

[Cuban_Liberal]

49. Which set?

And that's just what's on top of the toy box...

:evilgrin:

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

50. I wish I had a dog or a cat.

My husband has pet allergies. I can say my family still loves me, though.

[Cuban_Liberal]

51. Get a reptile.

Snakes and turtles make excellent pets.

:)

[Dookus]

52. there are options

a company has just, believe it or not, created a non-allergenic cat. Also, there are hairless breeds that don't provoke allergies.

As for dogs, a few breeds, including poodles, are generally non-allergenic for people with dander allergies.

There ARE animals out there for the allergy-ridden. Good luck.

[LDS Jock]

62. another option is getting a husband without allergies

just kidding :P

[PopSixSquish]

55. All Hail the Emperor Fabulous!!!!!

Bow down and worship before him, lest he smite thee...

[Cuban_Liberal]

56. Ave!

:P

[jonnyblitz]

59. what dog.

:P

[LDS Jock]

61. what a cutie.. just like his daddies

can I come cuddle with all of you?

[Cuban_Liberal]

63. Sure!

:D
