Nice Dales, we were owned by an Airdale for some time

I had a mutt (the black and white one in the background) that I'm fairly sure had some Airedale in him judging by the whiskers on top of his nose. I suspect a healthy dose of Springer Spaniel too.

I got him as a little bitty pup when I was stationed in Charleston, SC. Co-worker brought a box of puppies in and joked around that any that were left at the end of the day, he was gonna use to troll for gators in the Cooper River.

Therefore, I named him Gator Bait. Tied for first in the "Best Dog I Ever Owned" category, with the big ol' Rottie in front of him. He pretty much defined "laid back". If he bestirred himself to actually bark at something, you'd best check it out cuz something was SERIOUSLY out of the ordinary.

We had a sea lion visit the bay this morning barking up a storm. He had all the dogs up and down the beach barking back at him.

Just reminiscing. In memory of my boys.... They always came to the paddock to watch me flying my planes and I really miss them. Luckily I have some fantastic video taken a month before we lost Vinnie the Maremma and 9 months later we lost Reno.
We still have Ziggy the Pug and he still comes and watches me flying and he is joined by Heidi a Chinese Powder Puff. Unbelievably, Heidi was hit by a car just over a week ago and her hip was dislocated. She still limps pretty bad but is slowly recovering. We are very lucky she is still with us.

I have attached a few pics of the boys and added some captions that describe their antics.
Maybe we could have a few more caption shots capturing the personalities of our mates?

Ha! The REAL "water dog!"

Our roosters can almost sound like howling Coyotes! Our dog, however, hasn't been confused by any of it. Sigh, our Xena was diagnosed with spinal cancer about 6 weeks ago; watching closely for her to give us the sign to say goodbye. Life really is but a day-to-day thing...

I love it when they grin.

I love it when they grin.

One of my dogs "grins" when he's excited in the morning and over the months I have grinned with him and made it a big deal with hugs and rewards. Each time and just before he grinned, I grinned first and then he grinned. It's taken some time but he will almost grin on command now and it's really cute. Pavlov was onto something.

Lol mine did it because I was messing with him, it was a bit of a challenge to take the pic with him showing teeth. Mine doesn’t do it willingly but he loves to play.
