Well that was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  How is it that an animal buries itself so deeply into your heart and soul.  He was my best buddy in the world.  Not seeing him waiting in th

"Wierwiller says that Casper disappeared for two days after the brutal fight."

"We knew he was hurt because we found parts of his tail and blood and other things, so we were worried," Wierwiller said.

Posting this in case his owner isn't a Surly poster.  Most of the dogs here are cute and happy.  What'd THIS dog do?  Oh not much.  Just killed EIGHT PREDATORS SINGLE-HANDED.  "Great" Pyrenees?  I'd say so.

 A Georgia sheepdog is recovering at home two days after killing a pack of coyotes that attacked his owner’s flock of sheep, farmer John Wierwiller said.

Casper, a 20-month old Great Pyrenees from Decatur, fought off a pack of coyotes who were threatening Wierwiller’s sheep farm, he said. The fight lasted longer than half an hour, left eight coyotes dead and bloodied Casper, with skin and part of his tail torn off, Wierwiller told Atlanta’s WAGA-TV.

He scampered off but returned injured two days later after Wierwiller put out a call on social media.

“He was kinda looking at me like, ‘Boss, stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me,’” Wierwiller said.

Great Pyrenees are badasses.   They actually make good family dogs but they are killers when need be.   When raised by shepherds in the Pyrenees, they feed them sheeps milk and raise them with the sheep.   They grow up thinking they're sheep.   And the protect the herd like nobodies business.

I may have told this story before, but a few thanksgivings ago I went out to a farm in Webberville to pick out my own turkey.  There were several Great Pyrenees roaming around, working the farm.  The matriarch was all matted up and just laying on the ground, doing nothing, and looking like she was way up there in years.  While I was waiting on my turkey to be, ahem, delivered, another guy drove up to collect his turkey and he brought his dog with him.  One of the younger male Pyrenees started growling and barking and made a step towards him.

The previously motionless matriarch sprung to her feet, ran over to the young male, and slammed him to the ground with her paw.  She stood over him until the guy in the car and his dog had gotten their business done.  She wasn't allowing any bullshit to go down on her watch.  Pretty awesome.

Been long time since we have had young male, neutered. I do remember our last male that had skin issues would lick and would “expose” that issue.  Probably just till it gets fully healed.

Dogs be pack animals and want to be with pack. Everybody is different but my wife and I could never restrict our dogs movements. 
However saying that we also plan our vacations around our dogs. As long as you take care of them and keep their health good you are a good “owner”. I put owner in quotes cause in our case I’m not sure who owner is.

Good job restricting his movement. Blue took off across the yard after getting home from getting spayed and tore her internal sutures. Dummy.

Do big boy dogs mark less then small breed dogs? I can't take Tiny Clyde anywhere without keeping him from marking. In Home Depot, I just pick his ass up and carry him because near every corner we turn, he tries to lift his leg.  I took him to my sister's house and he pissed on their new chair before I could stop him. What a dick.  I have only ever had female dogs and they don't do shit like this. I never hear about big breed males pissing everywhere so I was just wondering if it is little dog male behavior.

Not in my experience.  Little Biff never used to do it.  He learned from his big (younger) brother like a couple years ago.  Now he does it EVERYWHERE.

I've had two biggish male dogs (55-60 pounds) and neither one of them ever/has ever marked inside. One a pit mix and the current one a Shar Pei mix.

Might mean there was another dog peeing on those corners. 

Here is the mutt not peeing.

So, my SIL and BIL got a rescue that is terrified of people. Stays in their bedroom all day. Won't even let their own kids get near him without running off. BUT he will sneak out when everybody is sitting at the table and slink around underfoot looking for crumbs. At thanksgiving, I was sneaking him little bits of turkey and ham. After that, I was the only one he would let approach and pet. Everybody was amazed. I just shrugged it off. "Hey, dogs know what's up."

When my grandfather started doing that we put him in a home.

terriers are stone cold killers

 

 

There's a terrier in our neighborhood in the mountains named Dougal that is gonna get killed by Bruce one of these days.  They let him roam freely (neighborhood is all 2+ acre lots) and he's a fucking asshole.  He's dog aggressive and people aggressive.  Tries to sneak up behind you to bite you and/or your dog, tries to ambush you, etc.  I fucking hate this dog.  Bruce hates him, too.  A few weeks ago, we were on a walk going by their house and Dougal comes tearing up the hill at us, barking and growling.  Bruce (who is leashed) starts going bananas trying to get after him.  It takes everything I have to hold back this 140# dog when he's pissed off.  Dougal stays just outside of Bruce's reach, but keeps snarling, tries to circle around us to get at him from behind, etc.  The owner finally comes up the hill and grabs Dougal because Bruce isn't moving as long as Dougal is there.  He tries to laugh it off and I just told him point blank "Bruce doesn't like him.  And if Bruce ever gets ahold of him I'm not going to be responsible.  My dog is leashed, yours isn't."  I hate that little fucker.  Want to punt him every time I see him.
