Oh Rion, our 11 year old Lab
 
Oh Rion, our 11-year-old Lab puppy, in his favorite nappy time spot, under my desk. If he looks annoyed it is because I woke him to take the photo.

Beautiful. I'm a sucker for senior dogs. We foster them and have our own, 13.5-yr-old Crosby the Golden. Gracie painted the most beautiful watercolor of him. This particular picture cracks me up because DH is looking so stern and Crosby the Happy Loon doesn't have a clue...

Velvet 08-13-2021 05:03 PM

Such a tissyable muzzle … just adorable!

GrumpyOldMan 08-13-2021 05:09 PM

Thanks, Rion is a Lab, which means he smiles a lot and loves people. But, as he gets older, he does not being woken up from a nap he is enjoying - :)

Yes, I had a golden retriever for 12 years, his name was Taffy. A warm, loving, friendly dog.

I met Taffy’s mother when he was a little pup. The breeder was the top breeder in the country and he had the mother of Taffy in his home, his other bitches were bred with various other families, one dog one home.

Maybe some others will post pictures of their cats and dogs. Such a nice diversion from everything that's going on right now.

Attachment 90434I'm happy to report, because of our fluffy canine guard dog, we have not had one dog jump thru the TV screen.

BlkBlt6 08-14-2021 05:59 AM

I love Rion! He’s incredible. I had Labs for most of my life. They’re the best. We now have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They’re incredible little dogs but not a Lab.
You made my day. Thank you!

These are NOT staged photos. These rascals really love each other.

Djean1981 08-14-2021 06:32 AM

I agree. I only look at the cat and dog groups on social media nowadays, nothing else.

Djean1981 08-14-2021 06:32 AM

How adorable. Thank you for posting..

Just beautiful. I love that prance retrievers do coming back with the ball. I'm doing my job!

Abby just turned 12 a few days ago. Everyday is a Blessing. Its hard to see that muzzle going grey on our senior dogs. Since she was a puppy she decided her job was to bring the paper in every morning. Problem is...she holds it hostage until she gets breakfast.

Our little lady. She’s a rescue - maybe 11 years old? (She makes a great home brew)

CFrance 08-14-2021 09:17 AM

I am loving all these pictures! What a great way to start the day. Thanks, Grumpy, and thanks all.

This should be a mandatory, daily thread!! Pictures of our beautiful animals (dogs, cats, birds, fish, whatever) of any age.
Puppies are just adorable but nothing beats the faces of our senior dogs (kind of like us).

Guest cat looking for treats. Known him since he was a small cat. There are a few who visit. I lost my dear cat friend and now have a few guest visitors instead.

I believe cats think if they stick their tongue out a little like that, people will do anything for them. They are not entirely wrong - LOL

Until they're either adopted (ours actually were, even as seniors) or we had one sanctuary foster Golden who came to us at age 15 and lived to be 16.

He looks like an old soul, albeit a grumpy one! Naaaah--he's beautiful!

I am trying to get a photo of our Great Pyrenees to post, but every time I get down on the floor to take it, he comes over to see what's wrong with me and licks my face until I get up.

I will have to sneak up on him and get one before he realizes I am there.

Nice shot, hate the tag lines, from Arnold Schwarzenegger: regarding mask use:.
" In response to this sentiment, he calls on Americans to reflect on the fact that "our country began with a willingness to make personal sacrifices for the collective good."

Loving all these photos you are all posting! Attached is one of our 3 legged lab/pit mix Penny catching an afternoon nap. Are there any other tripod dogs in the Villages?
