Might be a new Giant Schnauzer in the house Saturday.   We’re driving down to Roanoke to meet Eli.  He’s a year old and is housebroken, crate trained , ears docked and has had obedience training.  The ears are a nice plus. We haven’t had one with docked ears and it’s an expense and a pita to deal with. 

Former neighbor of ours had one.  Beautiful dogs.

Eli is in the house. Amazing disposition and personality.  OMG for a big dog he has an incredible amount of energy.  Nonstop motion.  I’ll try to post a couple of pics tomorrow if I can get him to sit still for ten seconds.  He’ll be a year old next Saturday and he still has his balls.  Those are going soon which hopefully will slow him down a tad.  

[ChickenSandwich 9851]

Year is standard now with some vets wanting to wait 6 months more. 

....and it won’t slow down shit lol

[VABuckeye 2472]

Yeah.  I know.  THey're a very active breed.I'll get better pics at some point.  He doesn't stay still for long.  We'll get him a summer cut as soon as we can get an appointment with the groomer.  He's going to be big.  He's 75 lbs now is and is skin and bones.

 

[VABuckeye 2472]

ETA:  Basement flooded so that's why the carpet and baseboard looks like shit.  Repairs coming at some point.  lol

[Deej 76903]

Go back to A&M tomorrow with Blue. If blood work looks good, we should be done. Wish us luck.

So Maeby's growth has outpaced Gracie's.  But they tolerate each other these days, which is good.

Long day in College Station.

Good man. Sounds like your friend is kind of a flake.

Been sitting on this a while, but finally found it in the store. Molly made it on a re-designed label for some dog food.

airedale?  I wanted a welsh terrier for a while, and have always liked Airedales.  I think I'll probably end up with something like a standard poodle next, but I love dogs like that (and the giant schnauzer too).

[VABuckeye 2472]

My brother has an airedale.  Very smart and very active dog.  They’ve done zero training. 

Eli is perfectly crate trained.  Sleeps in there all night and doesn’t make a peep.  We forgot to close the crate door the night before last and he stayed in the crate all night and waited for his release command in the morning to exit the crate.

Yes an airedale, 4.5 months old now. Great dogs, barely shed.

This is my 3rd on my own, my family has had a total of 6.

We are pretty diligent with training with Monroe. Airedales are very smart and can be stubborn, if you don't train them when they are young you are bound for trouble

[Celery Man 20996]

ex-girlfriend had a wire haired terrier and he was totally untrained and a complete asshole.  a really funny and interesting dog, but he ran the house.

I don't look at Nextdoor because it's a pit of stupidity, but I got a notification last night for a post from someone fostering an old boxer puppy with a leg problem, who needed a bigger bed.

Kevin won't mind losing his spare bed, look at this poor little girl

Holy shit good work man.

Our puppy has trained my wife and kids, hopefully it’s not too late for him when they get back home.

Cut a trail for rocky on my property today. Little white dog is neighbors who has been coming over all week to play

[NorthLoop 14241]

You should tell your neighbor that the white dog is yours now. You didn't choose it, it chose you. 

[VABuckeye 2472]

Today is Eli's 1st birthday.  We got in a 5 mile walk early this morning.  Then he got home, ate and now wants to play non-stop.

Here's my now 70-lb, 7-month-old puppy still thinking he's a lap dog.



And here's Rocket and Edgar after we picked them up from the dog ranch after boarding for a week. That's my 11-yo son under them. You can't tell from the pic but Rocket has his front legs around my son's neck. Like a hug.

Happens all the time at my house.  Two fight for the attention, one wins out, and the other puts her ass right in my face.

My gf will say, "What's wrong with Kona?", to which I'll reply, "She's giving me the butt because Oz is getting the attention right now".

F'n A-holes.

[kmac30 416]

My dog passed almost a year ago. Pyrenees/lab mix. I came home from work yesterday and surprised the kids (and the wife a little) with a dog. Wife knew, it’s just this dog is bigger than she expected.

Here’s Penny. Almost 5 month old mix. Has Pyrenees in her (double dew claw) but that’s about all we know. Mom was about 40 lbs. She’s about 17 now.

[Bama Chick 28596]

Good girl, Penny!

(PS - love the rug and toile upholstery on the chair! Your wife and I have similar decorating taste.)

[VABuckeye 2472]

So. 

Eli has a five mile walk this morning and a three mile walk this evening and he’s still non-stop energy.  He’s working hard to keep our old asses young.

Frisbee fetch is the answer.   Then I get to practice old skills. 

[Cajun 11728]

Man, I struggle with clipping my pups' nails.  Well, the Corgi doesn't really mind, but the f'n Shar Pei freaks out to those clippers.  I got into the quick once and she has a loooooong memory.

Anyway, one of my neighbors mentioned that she files her dog's raptor claws down with a dremel.

I thought, "Man, that's a little aggressive".  

After trying the cutters again this morning and having to chase Kona around the place I said to myself, "Fuck it, might as well try that dremel thing".

Holy shit, I SHOULDA HAD A V8!!!  Nails are perfect, and aside from the machine's noise, neither minded much.  Fast too.

Threw the clippers away right after the session.

[Biff Tannen 45728]

Yeah Biff starts screaming, literally, when we get near him with the clippers. Had a bad experience with a vet a few years back and he's never forgotten. He goes to a new vet now to get it done because we can't do it. 

[Cajun 11728]

That screaming/shivering thing just tears my guts out.

[Paco 1934]

We've had Zoe for a year now. She's turned out to be an extremely intelligent dog, if a bit overzealous with her attention needs. I guess that's to be expected since she spent the better part of her first couple years by herself in a small run outside. Her and Hank will be 3 in October and they are absolutely joined at the hip.

[burntorangebongos 10752]

That is a big bitch. haha she is a hottie.

I just let the vet do their nails. It's 15 bucks. Worth every cent.
