I have had many, many dogs over the years. For 40 years I had Great Pyrenees. I got into greyhound rescue in the early 90s (I think) and fostered many of those sweet, easy going beauties as well as having my own greys. Then I found borzoi and fell in love with them. Somehow I am a sucker for vacuuming. I had all 3 breeds and usually a pack of 5-6 dogs before coming to TV. I have to say that's one of the hardest things about living here and not having a large pack of dogs to greet me when I come home.
I love this thread and all the love I see when everyone talks about their dogs, present and past. So many cute pictures and wonderful, heartwarming stories. Thank you for posting.

Yellow English labs. Lost our last one Samantha over three years ago at 14 yrs old. Unfortunately, try as we might, cannot find another lab to fill our hearts like Sam, we both still see her and hear her in the house, especially at night. She would roll over in her bed with her legs in the air and then get stuck between the bed and the wall and one of us would have to get up to get her up from between the bed and the wall. Miss that beautiful animal, our avitar.

Samantha is very beautiful. And it sounds like she had quite the personality.
Adopting again is hard and sometimes we feel disloyal.
But if you asked Sam, she would say "Adopt a dog that needs a home, Mom, you have so much love to give."

I could have a slew of ragdolls. Our son had two, now down to one. You can wear her over your shoulders like a stole. What a sweetheart, and so silky soft. Her brother was the same. Unfortunately, he was a cancer victim at age five.
