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.
...
Love it! Dogs are so loyal!

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

I've never seen a dog with those kind of markings. What is it?

I forgot what it was called. A speckled Spaniel? Quite the cutie, though!

Priceless! I am definitely passing that one around right now!

Thanks!

I have never owned a pug, and only known a few through the years. I have no idea what they are like to own as a pet, but they absolutely crack me up. How can you not grin when you look at those guys?

Bless you for the breathing thing. Apparently that makes a pug's life so much better just in general. O0

What's that thing that manipulates aerodynamic force on those surf things, an air foil? It seems to me that a pug-unplugging is a Darwinian foil.

How do they do that? Shave the turbinates?
I’m not sure if dogs even have turbinates.

Worth every penny and then some.
Then you made a GREAT investment!

Exactly 100 years ago on the 15th of December 2015, the valiant « Poilus d’Alaska » (The “Hairy” from Alaska ; “Poilu” was the nickname of the French soldiers of WW1), arrived in the Vosges mountains. 436 Eskimo dogs brought back from North America to help French soldiers of the First World War to overcome logistical difficulties of winter in the Vosges.

Yup! The inner cage is the bedroom. The outer cage is her den!

She was spayed recently and is on the tail end of recovery. She's just well enough now to start going outside to parks and on walks.

Hey Vinny, do you believe in dog? (I thought perhaps you are dyslexic.) ;)

Whatever gave you the impression that I am dyslexic? I'm many things but never that. I would never have been able to achieve a reading speed of 900 words a minute when I was 18 years old if that were the case.

Vinny, it was a joke. How would a dyslexic read “dog”?
