i just wanted to share a little bit.

i have always had really big dogs, since i was a kid. usually big black dogs or throw away puppies have always picked me. this is the first time i've ever had 3 small dogs.

i have 4 dogs, now. i'm home mostly, so i have a lot of time, patience, and was blessed with very receptive dogs. i've been able to teach them the basics with hand signals because my voice fades away (just obedience kinda skills and few extras).

this is poco oso (loosely translated, little bear in spanish)

she's 12 years old, a great pyrenese and chocolate lab mix, a runt from the pound, she is a big gentle girl (aka: a big lap puppy), running about 135 pounds.
she was a very good match with me because of her natural herding tendencies, she likes to stay up all or most of the night watching over her herd (critters or people).
she also naps during the day.

she is strong willed and stubborn, yet, over the years she has been so sensitive that she knows or can tell when i am not feeling well. (she will wake me, when i have night mares)
she will brace herself to help me up when i've fallen.




i also have 3 boston terriors

this is buckshot



dakota blue sage (sagey)







sage and buckshot's puppy (yoda)



this is a grown up yoda (he was born deaf)



i thought it might be good to open a thread for people to share their pet or pet pics

i realize that not everyone has the time, space, abilities, accommodations and such for pets.

i feel very blessed to have my beastie babies that snore, burp and fart more than i do.
