    I no longer have Barrydanes All Eyes on Me (Thug) because he bit a kid who was playing in his food bowl. image Used to play 2pac when he was being shown. 185 lbs and taller than me when standing on his hind legs. This is a pic of a pic (no scanner) of Thug with his handler accepting an award. He won his first award at 11 months old.

    Great pics everyone....

    This is Smokey....My next door neighbor....He comes running when I open the front door and just hangs out with me in the yard...same as his mother did many for years .

    This picture was taken one day when I wanted to mow the lawn and Smokey wanted to just lay in the shade...So I grabbed my camera, laid down in the cool grass with him and turned it into a photo shoot.

    Chuckles & Snickers:

    Chuckles (the tiger) passed away this February. He started out as a dumpster kitten at about
    6-weeks old. The vet didn't give him much hope. But I asked for all the medication he could use
    and he led a happy life for seventeen years.

    Snickers is a whopping 23 pound now.

    This is my recently passed doberman named Cisco-Kid. His passing was unexpected for being so young and I miss him. I plan on getting another, but it might take some time. He was very special...

    What a great thread. Lots of really nice pets here.

    We all get very attached to our pets.

    They're always happy to see us ( the owners)
    so loyal and never seem to have a bad day -
    even if they actually are having one.

    Anyone that has ever truly bonded with their pet
    knows the Pain of having to let them go when it's time.

    On a lighter note - they're all so cute, especially when so young.

    I had a Blue Dobie much like yours, blueifalcon.

    She came down with some weird neurological disorder suddenly
    and went from super athletic to not being able to stand or walk.

    When she could walk, when the disorder first began, she'd drag her
    front paws and it looked like she was drunk or something. Very weird!

    Too many pets, especially dogs, dying of cancer etc confuses me!
    All they do is drink water and eat Brand name (Pedigree) dog food.

    Very strange indeed.

    This was my first Pit - a VERY SPECIAL friend, Custer.
    Lost him to Cancer too - endochrine system too.
    Losing him .... I'll NEVER forget him - ever!

    Here's Grumpy before she got sick!

    I SWEAR this was Custer reincarnated as a female!

    They were VERY MUCH alike, in many ways - so much so that it was downright eerie.

    Great thread image

    I have not had a pet in years and years. 1990s.

    Here is a photo of my dad on the left, me on the right, and my dog Zippy in the middle from 1987. This is one of my all time favorite photos image

    Zippy left us in 1991 and my dad left us in 2002 image

    image

    Here is a much better picture of her from the early 1980s...I have it labeled as 81 but that was before I was born so I don't know! The cat's name is Shadow, she was gone before I was born...ran away image

    image

    We don't have any puppy pictures of Zippy, by time she came to us in the 1970s she was almost full grown, she had been abandoned and my family rescued her!

    pakasmom, thank you so much. There are a lot of great pics in this thread and as I said in my PM, it's great to see the personal sides of some of our great members. Also as I said in my PM, I'll keep this coin and as a momento to our pups.

    What I didn't say (because I had not yet thought of it) is that in appreciation for your great giveaway I'm going to write a check to our local shelter for $100. I hope others might follow my lead in one way or another. The shelters around the country are doing great work and for the most part they are severely under-funded.

    Don't forget the orphaned pets out there!

    Thanks again, Bill
