They're beautiful. Names/Breed?

Thanks to everyone for posting! Had dogs,and cats, my whole life. About five years ago had to put my beloved sheppard Nick down.120lb, purebread, guard dog lineage.Easy to train,good with children,other animals(barn cat). Gave fifteen years of loyal service. Peace of mind when I was at the station overnight. Wife and kids safe.Home invasion would have been a grave mistake. After him, said I was done, cant be replaced.

Flash foward, future daughter in law brought over her rescue dog, beautiful animal. Then soon after talked my son into doing a animal rescue sponsored "pub crawl"

Enter Cooper, blue tick beagle mix,,little shit! After puppy sitting,hooked again. We found these two(only wanted one)but they had issues seperating them, anxiety,depression. They would shut down. What the hell, took them both.

Long winded, but feeling lazy today and procrastinating working on the car, heading out in a few..

Love the name Ricky Bobby! Lol

Our shop and Therapy (other patients) dog Hollywood. Gone but not forgotten. Our new one Willow, is not allowed in the shop.

Thanks! They're rescues, so educated guesses at best for their breeds. The first one we were told was mostly a Beagle, but I have my suspicions. Seems to be a Terrier mix. When we first saw her we thought she had blue eyes so we went with Frankie for "Ol' blue eyes." Of course it turned out she has beautiful green eyes, but Frankie still fit for her.
The black and brown pup is Woody. He came to us with that name and nothing else has seemed to work for him. His mother was mostly retriever and shepherd and by looking at his brothers and sisters, his dad appears to be a Bernese Mtn Dog.
Scumbags had dumped both of them with their mothers in the Carolinas at different places.

Meet Joseph. (a.k.a. Joe or Jose)

The only cat we've had that will play fetch. Throw a little yarn ball and he'll bring it to your feet.

Installed an alarm on my 74 last summer, his name is Kuma.

I love the Z too!!:headbang:

I just noticed in your signature that we share the same taste in cars :beers:
Here's my 74 with my 66 in the background.

I love Maine Coons. They are the gentle giants of the cat world. Congrats...Joe

Good evening !!
Great happy, loving thread.

RIP Oliver, you were loved! Hello Gibby!!! We have various Rag doll and Siamese cats and hound dogs...Maine Coons are next on our list of cats to get. Keep the hounds in place...:grin:

This was our Maine Coon, Riley. Lost him April 2018. He's hanging with Mac the Siberian in the pic. Mac is now 10. Added a female Siberian Dec 2018; she had a litter of 4 kittens March 15. All adopted; was so enjoyable to watch them tear around the house for the last 5 weeks or so.

Guarding the Berger...
 

Trained? Ha! I will bring a few slices of ham and walk right in.

Update; Our just over 1 year old Willow decided she needed a brother now that she has reached about 3/4 of her adult size (currently she is about 130). Coincidently we were just notified that a litter of boys was finally available so she is getting a full blood brother. He has yet to be named but hopefully within the 5 weeks until we receive him we will have come up with a name. Here is Willow today and the new puppy. The puppy is estimated to grow to around 200 lbs. Our last male (Hollywood) reached 234 lbs.

New Puppy...
 

They do not eat a lot but pooping is their specialty. We often joke that our dogs poop mound is bigger than their dogs (body) are. Good thing we have acreage out here.

You don’t walk over their mounds, you trip over them.....:biggthumpup:

Artificial sweeteners and dogs
 

Thought the following might be helpful to others and possibly prevent a possibly deadly accident for your dog. While we were out of the house the dog was able to gain access to the inside of a lower kitchen cabinet and then eat the contents of an entire bag of sugar free chewing gum. Sugar free gum and many other products contain an artificial sweetener called Xylitol. I have since learned that this artificial sweetener, even in small amounts is highly toxic to dogs. Fortunately, in our case, the dog received prompt emergency treatment and after spending several days in the animal hospital is now OK.

Here's my buddy Korbel. I was standing by the cookie jar when I shot this......hence why he is paying close attention

Why do I feel like I just stumbled across a mobster meeting and they are plotting our family's demise?

I have a Tortie & white yours in the middle...Joe

Tucker
 

Our little buddy Tucker, no longer with us but still in our hearts. He loved to ride in the Camaro.

I hear you Steve. It’s obvious who the ring leader is (position of authority). Best watch your six! :eek2:

Steve,

Where is the outlet cover?

They must also be plotting a prison break as well. Since one of them previously cut the alarm sensor wire going to the window. I anticipate that they will be placing a cat postor over that outlet hole and air vent in the near future, as they continue with their excavation plans.

----We had a great Maine Coon that we rescued back about 15 years ago as a kitten. Miss that bugger! They are great cats. Unfortunetly, like all great and maybe not so great pets, his time ended before ours. Miss them all. At one time we had 7 cats and a 95 lb. female Bouvier in a 1500 square ft. home. Miss them all, especially the Bouvier. She was a sweet heart.
----Great looking Maine Coon, Tom! .....Bill S
