Golden retriever fest looks like an awesome time. The smiles (human and dog) in those pics are incredible.

We were sitting around the fire at our local brewpub last night with a bunch of strangers, and one lady piped up, "My face hurts from smiling so much today."

Everyone just started laughing and then said, "Mine, too."

I had to go back several times to see if Darlene was the girlfriend or the dog. 

Only one I've ever known was the asst manager at Whataburger when I worked there in the 90s. She was cute, but probably had some recessive genes.

WAY TO GO.

 

Only question I have is in last pic of Darlene is she having her nudes painted by some famous French artist?

Darlene is the most curious "sleep position" dog I've ever known. I should probably post more of it on IG cause....

Yes she falls asleep with her ass on "their" couch and feet on the floor.

She re-arranges the pillows and blanket to match her mood.

She moves the hotel beds around for entertainment and sleeping needs.

Darlene and Valerie and still figuring out their relationship. It's probably a shock to you all but Darlene isn't always super happy about sharing space, attention, toy, bones and food. Shocking!@

TACOMA, WA—Operating on pure natural instinct while leaping into action to protect his beloved owners, heroic dog Snickers saved a local family of five from the threat of an herb-roasted chicken, sources confirmed Wednesday. “It was a close call, but luckily Snickers could sense the golden brown skin of the chicken we’d just roasted for dinner, and his protective nature took over from there,” said Danielle Greco, mother and longtime owner of Snickers, detailing how the 4-year-old terrier mix snapped into action without a moment’s hesitation, quickly neutralizing the threat by clamping his jaws around the chicken’s succulent legs and thighs. “If it weren’t for Snickers, I shudder to think what would have happened to my family. We might have enjoyed a filling meal of carved rotisserie chicken—or worse. Looking back, I can’t believe I ever hesitated to adopt a dog. Snickers isn’t just a part of our family. He’s our protector.” At press time, Snickers had reportedly pounced on a suspicious looking Sara Lee pound cake that the family was on the very brink of enjoying for dessert.

It's not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog. 

Blue weighs about 45 pounds,but she's fearless and quick as hell. She has yet to meet a dog she hasn't been able to take down in just a few seconds. I was out in my driveway one day with her on a leash, and some random loose dog that was about 100 pounds came around unexpectedly from the other side of the car, and Blue had him pinned as soon as she saw him.

she passed suddenly and unexpectedly in October - she was 10.  she still had so much energy when she passed.  it was awful and everything seemed so lonely without her - as all my fellow dog people understand i'm sure.  maybe kai can become the new food picture model.  she is certainly very food motivated.

Ahh shit Jack, I didnt realize you lost Quinn.   Im sorry.

 

thats a very cute looking pup though

So maybe I’m the dumbass for not knowing this already, so dumb comment amnesty requested, but I just found out that having an Apple Air Tag on your dog to keep track of them doesn’t work like gps. It apparently has to be within range of other iPhones/Apple devices to be able to connect to the internet. 
 

My friend’s dog escaped yesterday and the tag would only ping when he happened to be close enough to people with iPhones, so we only got his location a couple of times in the 4 hours he was gone. Luckily, he wandered back closer to home and was found, but it was a rude awakening. 
 

Finn, my big Fox hound, has a tag because he has escaped a couple of times around the Steiner ranch area, but I never realized his tag will be useless in the woods. 
 

Anyone have recs for an actual gps unit for pets if they get lost?

Any real-time GPS tracker for dogs that doesn't require connectivity to another device through Bluetooth or WiFi will require its own monthly cellular subscription.

Yeah, like I’m familiar with iridium sat beacons in the hiking world and Garmin, for instance, has a monthly plan for those. Surely there’s a dog equivalent.
