Pictures of your pooch!

Aww, I just want to give him a big ole' hug! Back when I was a kid one of my neighbors had a St. Bernard, I LOVED that dog, us kids would ride him like a pony, great dog. He tolerated our foolishness without so much as a growl. Boy, he sure did drool though! :)

So, it looks like I'm going to be adding a blue tick to the family next. People two streets over got one about 9 months ago and really don't seem to give a damn about it or understand hounds. Almost daily he gets 'out' and ends up on my doorstep, I think he wants to visit with Zeus but I'm the one that always takes him home. We live in a BUSY neighborhood and he's gonna end up roadkill soon:(. the last time I brought him home, I was told 'oh, we knew he ran off again but I wanted to take a shower before going out in public...'

Seriously?

They had a beagle before him and just don't understand a real hound is a wanderer and a hunter. They may seem lazy but they NEED to work and get exercise. his only exercise is a nightly 10 minute walk around the block unless he walks himself. I've had bloodhounds, bassets, red bones (my favorite so far), plott, and a black and tan. I've always wanted a blue tick and the next time I have to bring him back, I'm gonna ask them to let me keep him. I'll get 'em one of those pug thingies to replace him, they really don't deserve this handsome boy. And damn, when he sounds off? That is a voice that can shake the earth.

Moe is about 11 months and pushing 140-150lbs. I'm pretty sure he is working is way thru a growth spurt, I think he ate close to 60lbs of food last month :shock:

Where does a St Bernard sit? Wherever he wants!!

Many years ago, a cousin of mine had a St Bernard named Noah. Mike and my brother were room mates. Mike got drafted and had to go to Viet Nam. During his going-away party at his apartment after boot camp, Noah, still a puppy at near 200lbs, was going around finishing every beer that wasn't in someone's hand. By the time everyone went home, Noah was pretty wasted. Noah couldn't make it up the stairs to their apartment. Mike and my brother together couldn't get Noah off the ground, let alone up the stairs. So Noah laid out in the courtyard next to the pool howling the rest of the night, until he finally passed out around daybreak. Fortunately the neighbors all loved Noah and understood. While Mike was gone, Noah stayed with Mike's folks and finished growing up. He wound up 270lbs. He was CERTAIN that he was a lap dog. Anyone who sat down was fair game, in spite of all the training efforts. A favorite game to him was laying quietly on the living room floor in the middle of the day. When the mailman would shove the mail through the slot in the heavy duty front screen door, Noah would go off. The regular mailman got used to it, but whenever there was a substitute...I was there once when a new carrier shoved the mail through and Noah pounced at the door, woofing his loudest and clanging into the screen loudly! He could, of course, have gone through the door like a Peterbuilt going through a fly. The mailman tossed the leather mailbag up in the air and ran off down the street screaming. Mail was all over the front lawn and Noah was rolling on his back on the carpet with glee, wagging his tail for all it was worth pushing the coffee table around. Uncle Les got in his car to look for the mailman. He found him a block down the street 15' up a tree, hollering at everyone in the neighborhood to get off the streets and run for their lives. Les and a neighbor finally talked the guy down out of the tree, but he refused to come back to their block. So Uncle Les went into the neighbor's house and called home. I gathered the mail, stuffed it into the bag and took it down the street. In a while, the supervisor from the Post Office came over to talk to Uncle Les and Aunt Ruth. I brought Noah out on the lawn on a leash and he was totally friendly to the Supervisor. The Supervisor delivered the mail to the rest of the block. In more recent times, the incident would have caused legal issues. But not so much in the 60s.

So last night I took the two big boys for a walk about 11:30 around the town. Turned a corner on a side street to find ourselves witnessing a nasty domestic, some drunk shirtless guy trying to drag his woman out of the car by her hair. I have no idea what the specific deal was, but there's no excuse for that behavior. Ever. The boys thought so too. Before I could grab my phone to call 911, they shot off the sidewalk barking and snarling towards the guy. If I hadn't snagged a mailbox post with my arm, he would have had 200lbs+ of protective, pissed off pit bull and dane\pit all over him. He jumped into the backseat of the car and they held him (crying:)) there until the cops showed. She got out the other side and got lots of love from the boys:).

They got treats when they got home...

Went out for a weekend at Kennedy Meadows. Took my pup Lilo on her first camping trip. She did great. And she got some cool footage on the GoPro

Then she slept the whole way home! :lol:

I wanted to go to Kennedy Meadows last week too. But I couldn't get the family rounded up and going in the same direction at once.

Lilo looks a lot like my Coco.

Coco is my favorite 50lb lap dog. Very cuddly. Easier to hold in my lap while typing on the computer than the little long hair chihuahua named "Minnie".
