Random Photo of the Day - 2019 - post yours!

Blast to the past! The black and white photo is my dads first dog Lassie from the early 50s. Hard to believe he’s been gone last six years now but he was a lifelong dog lover like me. The other is their shepherd puppy they adopted from the shelter in the 70s, Stoney! I’ll have to have my mom dig up adult pictures. And then my Bloody Mary from earlier today at a bbq joint, served with a dry rub rib! My kinda place!

My first family dog looked like he could have been Lassie's brother. I always thought he was a collie/spaniel mix. His name was Nikki, he was a rescue dog and lived to be 20!
 
No photo and I didn't do a 10th birthday post for Hans. He's not actually doing that well. He scared me today by falling asleep with his tongue out and barely breathing. He got a tooth extraction and cleaning yesterday. He's not eating anything but people food, but he hasn't gotten much of that. The first round of antibiotics didn't work on his anal gland infection and I was sent home with a different prescription for him. I don't dare start him on a new round of antibiotics until he is eating normally.
Aww poor Hans! Della needs a tooth extraction too because of worn off dentin but it doesn't bother her at all so maybe I won't have it done.

Hans was bothered recently by his tooth. He stopped playing tug like he would before. Hans has a really low tolerance for pain, but Della may be more stoic. If your vet has determined that an extraction should be done, I'd go with that.
 
Had a play date with our friends from Chicago Doberman Club yesterday. Rubie was feeling extra ornery and not being very nice so we hung out outside the play area while Moo was a social butterfly. She's been very well-behaved for a lot of our off-leash adventures recently but wasn't feeling it yesterday so we just removed ourselves. The wonderful thing about the other Dobe owners is they just say, "Mine has his/her days, too, no biggie!" :facepalm:

She was much happier all nested on the couch at home. Rubie and I both share grand visions of being full-time introverted hermits but Dog Dad was kind of upset about her behavior. We need to remind ourselves that she and Moo enjoy different things and there is zero harm in doing separate activities with them in which they succeed.

@Brioddy any Sunday during which I do NOT have a Bloody Mary (most Sundays) feels like I'm cheating myself out of something magical. That's a good looking one!
 
@LifeofRubie, I’m with you on being hermits! My boyfriend makes fun of me because I’m almost always happiest just being at home. Dogs are like people and we all have off days. My moms been showing the picture of my Bloody Mary around and everyone wants one, lol! The rib itself was cooked perfectly too, fall off the bone and still warm. I don’t normally drink bloody Mary’s, not because I don’t like them (they are delicious) but they are so filling I can normally only manage one (or two)!

Despite my typical isolated ways I do normally try to have a dog date on Mondays, today was no exception. I took Rio to a place called Farmhouse Tacos on the main strip in my little town and I convinced my friend to ditch work and come with us, hah! It’s a trendy but casual joint with a full bar and lots of unique tacos and other Mexican fare. Everyone asks me questions about Rio, and he is so chill he makes me look really good LOL. Today he couldn’t even be bothered to sit up for his grilled chicken, and napped on the way home.

We also stopped in to Tractor Supply as I’ve garnered from readings that I need an undercoat rake. I couldn’t believe how much hair it pulled loose in just a minute of grooming and that it made him even softer.

I'm so with you two there and then I went and got a job dealing with the public up close and personal. Go figure... LOL

I find that most of the people in sales that I know now would rather not deal with the public either. For me, doing it makes me feel connected to the community while not having to have any visitors in my home or help anyone move a couch. It satisfies my social needs.
 
I love venison anything, and summer sausage is good!

I’ve also worked in hospitality for some time, which might be why I AM happiest at home away from people. Being an adult I treasure the time I get to just relax and not do anything!

Oh I bet you hit the nail on the head there and I hadn't thought of it that way before.

I so agree. Have you tried venison bacon yet? I think that's my favorite thing to do with it and it's really low fat/calorie too.
