...[snip] Introductions with my resident mutt went perfectly, I think he was getting lonely since the loss of my Stella. That is good news... :) |

Amen to that. There are plenty of unwanted pets out there, all shapes, types and sizes, the one thing in common they all need is a little bit of love and attention from someone that knows how to look after them, I know dogs, to be honest I would not know how to look after many of the others so I leave them up to those that know how.

I know that dog is god spelled backwards. Maybe that is why they are so..................... LOL...just kidding. Cats are cats no matter how ya spell it. We are all just God's creations. And such wonderful things we all are. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Dogs are social animals, they do like company of their own sort as well as mere humans:-) Indeed. Not only that. They like to socialize with other animals too as we all know. Our dog Tosca met a hedgehog the other day. She sniffed at it but in this case she choosed not to socialize:) |

Try as I might - I could not get a picture of them standing together, she is so small compared with Toby, just got the measuring stick out, she is 22" at the shoulder he is 29", at a rough gestimate she is 23 to 25Kg he is 54Kg. This is the larger half - Toby. Kevin |

It looks like Toby have fetch something. Could it be a ball? Our dog love balls. Especially soccer balls. I usually call our dog Zlatan when she meet kids playing football outside. EDIT. Not Tosca in the picture. |

He is a clumsy mutt, if it can be knocked over or trodden on it will be:-( He is a big softy, lets me know if anyone is around and then lets them in with a wagging tail. Kevin |

Grew up w/ a German Shepard next door. Was incredibly protective of me. Taught herself to climb into my wheelchair and sit in my lap without hurting me |

It looks like Toby have fetch something. Yes, The pictures were taken in a local park, I let toby carry a ball with him, while he has got a ball in his mouth he cannot give any of the children a frendly lick or two (some mothers object). Same type of ball just different colour, they are a proper dogs ball, the bumps on them make them bounce in different directions on firm or hard ground. Kevin |

Taught herself to climb into my wheelchair and sit in my lap without hurting me They are naturally a protective dog, once they accept you as part of their pack they will if need be give up their lives to protect you. This can be a good thing in moderation but it MUST be kept in check otherwise they can become dangerous to other people. If this does happen it is almost impossible to re-train them:-( Kevin |

119 lbs....... Oh yes, and you know when he steps on your toes. You can always tell those that don't like big dogs, they turn round and walk off in the opposite direction. He is a big softy, loves being made a fuss off and if you want to throw his ball for him he will be your friend for life:-) Kevin |
