What's the deal with this weather? Come on Spring so the puppies can get out more. I'm sure it'll make things easier on all of us. Give all your critters hugs and kisses today. Take care and God Bless!!! :D

How do people have room for 3 or 4 dogs at a time? It's got to be one heck of a scheduling effort.

Here's mine...Heidi..the fat one rode with me for 6 years. Now that she's older (10) she prefers to stay at home. Maui...the slim one has only been in the truck once, but she was just fine with it :)

Exactly! Trouble was with Heidi, she got so she would eat literally ANYTHING! I think the funniest thing I ever saw her try to eat was a jelly bean! :lol: :lol:

When I first got Maui last June (she was a barn cat from Mom) Heidi kind of took her in, she let her suckle on her till her teats got too sore then she *weaned* her, just like she was her own kitten.

I lost my old tom (at 15 years), he had a massive heart attack according to the vet, :cry: last fall, so having her made his loss easier to bear for both of us.

My old tom....

I've owned cats, and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs. The difference I see between the two is this; A cat while they will snuggle, play, and quietly keep you company.

A dog for some mysterious reason learns to know your very soul.

One of my dogs can tell when I wake up in the morning, and they sleep in another room in their dog beds. He will start to whimper as a sign he knows I'm awake, and wants me to get up.

The only thing I can figure is, that since he has such good hearing, he can actually hear the difference in my breathing patterns, from when I'm sound asleep, to what they are when I wake up.

Dogs are truly amazing in their ability to read people. They understand us better than we understand them. It's funny how people believe they are the superior species. If our own dogs know us better than we know them.

Here is one other thing to consider as well. Even though dogs can't speak our language obviously, it is amazing that they manage to completely comprehend everything we say to them. Of course, I do realize it isn't the words they understand, but, merely the tones, inflections, and sounds they learn to associate with what we are asking of them. But, it still is pretty amazing.

My one dog will tip his head in curiosity, when ever I say something he hasn't heard before, like a new word, I haven't used before. It is as though he is listening intently, trying to figure out the meaning of this new word.

Dogs they are just so intelligent, yet it has been proven that they have the mental capacity of a 2 year old human being.

I suppose that explains why they sometimes have their stubborn moments, or simply get into things they know they shouldn't. But, they're not stupid that's for sure.

The only thing I wish my dogs could do, that they can't is to live forever.

A friend asked me one time when I thought I would get married (I not replying by saying, why are you offering? Since he was single too.), But, I replied, "When I meet a man who makes a better companion then my dogs." Since he was a dog owner as well, he didn't have a reply, hahaha...
