Maverick 9yo shaking his ass off. Surprised he’s not just a big blur. Gustopher 5mo sound asleep wondered why I came out to the couch.
 

Small slices from a Delta 9 gummie will help a lot. I had to do that for my GSP in Puebla....fucking storms and/or fireworks every other fucking day.

Every (big) dog I had growing up was scared shitless of thunder and fireworks. My JRT wants to fight it like it's the Amazon guy.

It's been brewing low key for a while, and this morning my wife suggested we get another dog as a birthday gift for our younger son. I initially was against it. So we compromised. Meet Archie the Golden Doodle




 

They left out the golden.

They left out the golden. 

I saw a picture of his parents.  Dad might have been the mailman's dog.  Because his poodle daddy has a white coat and mom looks like your typical golden retriever.  He sure is a cute little fella though.  
 
Now I'm reading that they can change colors over the first couple of years.  So he may lighten up, or not.  Our other retriever is half-lab and half-golden doodle and looks pretty much like a shaggy lab.  But her litter ranged from typical lab-coat to very curly like a poodle.  She was right in the middle.  Shaggy and sheds like crazy.
 
Archie was one of three remaining in his litter of 11.  Of the two other females, one was black with a little bit of white and was a mixture of black and golden.  She was a chunk and probably the reason Archie could stand to put on a few lbs.

I had to take a second look - it is the sole of his sandal. 
It appears that his foot slipped all the way through it while rasslin’ the dog out of a muddy creek.

How do you have green grass in your yard?  Did you overseed or those all just weeds?

[blacklab 11942]

Winter rye

[InkaUtexas 26030]

Yep, people who don't grow it just don't get it. My lawn is kicking ass. I need to mow. Anyone got a goat I can borrow?

[Deej 76876]

A winter rye yard between October and April is a thing of beauty. 

It can be hardpan the other months. I don't give a fuck.

Seed the shit out of the yard just before the first cool front of the fall that brings moisture and enjoy your lush, green yard two or three weeks later.

With co-ruler of the dog park, Loofy.

Later on she found found a possum. It escaped through a drain before she could dispatch it.

Blue and Penny get so many possums, but even the ones I think they killed disappear out of the yard within 15 minutes of putting the dogs away. Those critters are tough sumbitches.

She's always fooled when they play dead. I've never seen her so mad as when one started moving after she walked a safe distance away.

Had to say goodbye to one of my best friends of the last 14 years today. Her name was Avery.

At 8 weeks old she was left tied up in front of my future father in law's vet clinic. Freshly out of college and trying to figure out wtf our life would be, my then girlfriend and I decided she could stay with us until claimed (because of course someone couldn't have abandoned this incredible but insane little puppy?).

She was still there for us a year later when we returned home from our wedding and honeymoon.

She was still there for us another year later when we moved cities for law school.

She was still there for us three years later when we packed up what little we owned and moved across the country to New York City.

She was still there for us six years later while we quarantined in our Manhattan apartment during the early weeks of the pandemic.

She was still there for us the next two very trying years while we tried and failed to start a family. 

And she was still there for us last year when we brought our son home from the hospital. 

She was a good dog, and she was loved.

 

 

[Fuga 180]

FUCK, fuck, fuck. All my condolences for the loss of your good girl, Avery.

[TOR 5775]

You did good.

[pch 1259]

Good doggo Avery.  And blessings on you and your family Reynolds Woodcock in this difficult time.  That picture of Avery and your son had me reaching for the Kleenex.

 

[Deej 76876]

Give 'em hell up there, Avery.

The spotting onto he feet and head looks like she may have had a little red heeler mixed in with some lab.

[Reynolds Woodcock 4795]

Thank you all, I appreciate the kind words. The bond we make with these wacky dogs is incredible.

[Fudbelty 2789]

Go find my Bevo boy up there, Avery. I miss the little turd.

[dcbc 14500]

Good girl, Avery.  It just got dusty in here.

Sounds like she served an important purpose in your life. And you hers. And now her watch has ended. Good girl, Avery.

So sorry @Reynolds Woodcock.  Losing my lab Crosby was one of my life's more painful experiences.  It's been 3 years and he's still the desktop pic on my computer and phone.  They bury themselves so deep in your heart.

I am now four years older than my dad was when he passed.  Sebastian is only 2 1/2 years old and lately, I've been thinking about what would happen to him If I were to die.  I think that I want to make some provision for him in my will.  Has anyone here done that?  Under Texas law, I guess he would be considered property (I'm sure he would disagree with that), so I would have to leave him to someone rather than having a guardian named for him.

My will and my wife’s will both have provisions for what happens to our dog upon our death if one of us isn’t around to take care of him (or any other dog we may have in the future). It’s a pretty standard thing to have in a will as a pet owner.
