Living With Pets

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

We were helping out our daughter taking care of hers,


(that's a basketball sized ball on a 1" rope)
and when she came and got him it left a big hole in our house.
He was over a 100lbs and could cross the entire length of our place in four or five bounds.  There is a thing called too big, but we were so happy to have him for that time.

Introducing Luke: 

Wife's pup.  Loves attention.  Nickname's Shadow, because he's always at her side.  He's about 6 months old and 40lbs (I think he's maxed out at that weight).

Both of these GoldenDoodles have that poodle attitude (intelligence and inquisitiveness) and a retriever's good nature (+ facial expressions ... LOL).

Beautiful dog.

I had Rhodesian Ridgebacks for over twenty years. So I know about big dogs. Two neighbors have Great Pyrenees, they are more working dogs than pets.  But most of us country folk lean towards the bigger breeds for working, or pets, or both.
