Since last week we've been having our staff meetings remotely. And, since everyone is at home, a few dogs have popped into the video I was watching of a participant.

When I saw one today, I sent a message to all the participants: "Possible to teleport a dog to me?"

Also earlier had sent this to all of them.

And, from what I'd read in various posts here, I'd picture that it'd be casual me on the left and the ever dapper Pugchief on the right!

Just realized that I actually have readily accessible to me a picture of an actual dog that I owned.

This is my stunningly beautiful white German Shepherd after I'd owned her about a year.

The child in my lap was about 9 months ago in that picture. Now she's 26, just recently married, and had her first child herself not two months ago.

Of course, I still own that shirt (it was only ten years old at the time of the picture) and I probably still own the pants!

Nice Photos.

I would be interested in what clever/cute things your dogs have done.
To start -

When I was young I went to sleep on the floor. My mothers rough collie got a cardigan, pulled it over me, tucked it in with its nose, then went to sleep alongside me.

Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

When I'd bring out a dish of food in the morning for my beloved white German Shepherd Logan to eat until I put it down on the ground she'd be continuously leaping four feet up in the year in her anxiety to get fed! I'd sometimes prolong the wait just to watch this daily, amazing athletic feat!

Realized I just had another easily accessible picture with me and my stunningly beautiful white German Shepherd, Logan. The other dog was not mine. I had just met the black dog for the first time a few hours earlier. Later did own another dog that looked similar to go along with Logan. Ownership of the two dogs overlapped about 8 years.

Thanks! I truly believe that "A house is not a home without a pug.". My soul is at peace again, even though the void left by the last one will never be completely filled.
I don't know about you but I'm always dismayed with how quickly memories fade for me of beloved pets. Extremely fast. Having replacements is paramount.

At least you're trying to pug the hole as best you can.

Great avatar pic, Hal. :D
I used to have a collie, or a miniature collie rather, when I was maybe 1 year old. No memory of the dog, just a photo. I’ll have to find it.

Hi Dualstow,

Would be interested to see the photo if you can find it.

Here is a photo of an original of the last two collies we had.
The one on the left was incredibly loyal - stayed next to my mother when she was ill for a week. We had to take food to the dog as it would not leave her side.

The other dog loved children. Would put her head over a Childs shoulder while they were hugging her.

Did not know whether to put this here or in the Netflix Topic.

Just finished watching Monster-In-Law.

Incredibly funny! One of the few movies that caused me to laugh out loud while I was watching it alone. When I was a kid watching the (even old then) Three Stooges provoked the same response in me.

Decided put in here because there are several scenes in the movie with A LOT of dogs in them. Any movie that has a dog or dogs playing prominent roles in it gets extra points!

Theses dogs did a GREAT job!

Found the photo on an old drive.
What a cutie.
