Snooze a day and look at all the interesting threads appear!
Great shots, everyone!
Here is a shot of two of the four terrors around these here parts!
Max (the beagle) and Jaakob (the wannabee shepherd-type mutt).
NE Forum Pets!
Let's have a laugh!
Very cute, Will! You have four?!
This is Sarah, a rescue. It took weeks for me to commit, she forced it on me.
Best dog I ever had.

Edited to say:
Before I jinx it, Sarah is live & kicking at 9, about my age in dog years.

Sarah is a beauty. I had a similar experience with my wife, Andy.
For shame Victor!!
Ronnie, I love that pic.
Victor you are so bad!
yes, you are very bad, Victor
Andy P your Sarah is beautiful...that explains your name I guess...I thought Sarah was your wife!! LOL
This is Samson, my Golden Retriever, always by my side to watch over me.
Fun to see everyones fury pet
Maria what a absolutely Handsome Guy you have there!!
Our best pals who take great care of us. Scout the girl and Cap the boy.
Beautiful pets everyone has!
Wow they are Beautiful Dea!!
Here's Wallingford with a toy lion his girlfriend, Tippy gave him last year.
Here's Holly's Valentine's Day card to her boyfriend, Singer.
Here is Sampson Thunderpaws, a Maine Coon cat. He came to live with us a year ago when his owner died.
Hope y'all don't mind if a midwesterner pops in for a moment! :) Howie and I have stayed with Critterologist and Dea, so maybe we're unofficial northeasterns? LOL
Andy, Dea sent me a link to your picture here. As she told me, Sarah could be our Stella, all grown up! Do you know what mix Sarah is? Andy, I guess I'd never seen a picture of Sarah before, or I didn't remember her coloring until Dea linked here.
Our brindle pup even has the white on her chest, just not on her face.
We don't know with Stella, who we got from a lady who pulled her from a North Carolina pound when she was 7 weeks old. So, we brought her to the dog warden to ask him if she looked like she is a pit mix since Ohio law requires canine insurance on "dangerous" breeds. We figured, it's his opinion's what matters when it comes to that! Well, he laughed and said no. He told us to put boxer mix down on her dog license registration.
She's 5 months old, weighs 26 lbs and is 16.5" tall at her shoulders.

That is not even a boxer face.
What would you guess? Her nose was shorter, but it's growing longer as she ages. She's not going to be too big, I'd think. Her paws aren't big and she would be a lot bigger by now, wouldn't she?
Loving all the furry friend pics.
Gardenwife, she looks like some kind of pit mix to me.
GW, Sarah was listed as a Pit/Lab mix at the pound. That's one reason it took me so long to decide on her along with the broken leg.
Your Stella doesn't look like a pit, her tail is too fluffy, the legs are too long too. She's a Heinz 57 mutt, the best kind. Pits are stocky with a 'rat' tail. The brindle coat is misleading, many breeds have it.
Sarah is 22 " at the shoulders, 43 pounds with a deep chest like a Boxer. My Heinz 57, lol.

I certainly see the resemblance with Stella and Sarah! I would guess that Stella certainly has terrier in her backround, but terriers are a large and varied group of dogs. Both Stella and Sarah look like they have been dipped in gold. Very pretty.
Everyone's pets are handsome indeed. I love seeing all the pics!
Dea, Cap and Scout bring back great memories for me. I had a GSD and a Lab. They were the best of buds but with very different personalities. I referred to George as the sergeant at arms and Charcoal as the court jester. Can you guess which was the GSD? :)
LOL - and as you can see by the photo....Miss Scoutie's paw unabashedly covering Mr Caps....yup, she may be small, but she's definately in charge :)
Hah, get the feeling the lab was the court jester, Venu. ;)
Sarah's so pretty. I've always loved brindle dogs, so's Howie. When we saw her on Craig's List, we were both smitten.
Luvsgrtdanes, your picture made me laugh aloud!
I'll start a thread about Stelly in the pet forum at some point.
Oh, sure---just when I don't have a camera, a great thread comes along! Just kidding, I've posted the dale & pointer photos before, & even my wolfhound who passed. Will post them again---I've thoroughly enjoyed everyone's photos! My 2 grandd. had their first experience with losing a pet---their Poppy's old GSD died a few days ago---HayHay, Anni, & their Mom found Sadie floating in the pond where she liked to go to cool off---
I know the loss of a pet is educational for children, but that is incredibly sad. At least Sadie left this earth in a favorite place.
Stella is a beauty, GW! And feel free to pop in our forum anytime!
Samson is gorgeous, Maria. I've always loved Golden Retrievers.
Scout and Camp are a wonderful pair, Dea!
Cat - your cats are great! Amazing how Holly poses! ^_^
Gardenwife, they don't mind us being in OH. I pop in all the time. Stella looks great, dosen't look like a pit at all.
GW, Howie looks great.
Love the brindle coat on any dog.
The problem with brindle is you can't see them in the field, lol.
On a chihuahua there would only be room for one fleck.
The first photo I took with my new camera is of Suey, looking baleful because she hates the camera!
ROBINDOG, Suey is beautiful!!
Yes - beautiful, Robin! Why Suey? That was the Crocodile Hunter's dog's name.
Here is Sniff chasing a flying insect. See the claws?!
Ugh - the copyright covered the claw.
Looks like he's boxing!
He's quicker than Ali!
I love all of your pet photos. Here is one of Torrie. She does not like to cooperate when I take the camera out, even without the flash and on pet mode. I got her to stay still by making snapping sounds with a sheet like I was taking out the wrinkles. Then she was right there in the middle of it.
Ivy
She let me take a few more before she moved away. I asked her if she wants a rub since I was holding a brush in the other hand, she was ready for one.
I see that the photos are not too clear because a flash was not used, I think that is the problem.
