    We don’t see many St Bernard’s around here, too hot. How much heavier will he get? Still a cutie.

    Spookiesmom~He is only 7 months old. He will grow at least to be 160 to 165 lbs. he's a big boy already!! But he is a big goofball. Can be very docile and sweet which I love! He's a precious thing I love seeing him. His bed is almost as big as mine. Have a good night ~M~ He is a gentle giant!

    I guess he would need a big bed😂. Sometimes Spookie tries to push me out of ours, stretching, and she’s only 8#.

    When her Poodle brother hops in, he has to lick my toes to let me know he’s there, and then plops down on my feet. image

    Spookiesmom~ she's a cutie alright! Always grown up with dogs. And cats but liked dogs more. You have two dogs ? Turns out I was allergic to the cats, so that solveed the kitty era of my DD!! DH is also allergic! Dogs just love on us more I think. image.....here is his bed!! ~M~

    This is Signe. Her name is Norse. It means "New victory". We got her 4 days after my golden died, 5 weeks after my dad died, 10 days after my double mastectomy. We were ready for a victory.

    Kris, the poodle, was a rescue dog. We adopted him while I was doing chemo. What was I thinking? He’s really a good boy😍, but is afraid of kids. Probably from his previous life. They get along well, Spookie doesn’t hesitate to let him know she’s boss. And he takes it.

    Wouldn’t want more than 2 at a time. Watched DDs dogs, plus mine while they were on vacation. Total of 5. Too many!!

    Micmel, Jingles is part chihuahua and rat terrier. She is absolutely the sweetest little dog. I can tell how much you love your grand dog. Chief is such a beautiful dog!! He actually looks like a great snuggle!

    Hugs.

    Robin~ He is a great lap dog believe it or not! He loves to cuddle on the couch! I can’t get enough of him really. They asked me to grand puppy sit July 4th week and my DD and I are going to do it. I’ll go over and take care of him a few hours a day and then my DD can feed him , it’s only for four days. The weather will be doable that I can walk him. I’m breaking out the pronged collar real soon! You have no idea how happy I am to see you posting. 🤗❣️! Hugs ~M~

    imageHere is our rescue tag.... sleeping like a little baby hugging his favorite blankey. He's getting older these days. Not too steady on his legs anymore. Falls a lot. Back legs slip. Won't support the jumping up to the couch. He's 9. Seems young to me, but they say bigger dogs have legs and hip problems! I just love the big dogs though! Gn ~M~

    Waving hello to Robin. Hope you're feeling good still sweetheart! 💓💓🌸 much love ~M~

    Hi Micmel, What a sweet fur baby hugging his blanket!! I had a bigger dog, but not quite as big as Tag. HIs last year, he was not stable on his feet and then he was unable to walk at all. NO problem for me. I would carry him outside and hold him up to go potty. He lived to be 17 and 3 months old. Vet said it was almost unheard of for his breed and size. He was a catahoula!

    Hi Robin~I have never heard of a dog being that age myself. He must have been one happy puppy and was well taken care of to live that long. Beautiful doggie love the grey coloring all around him And I love his ears! I have never heard of that breed either. But you know I'm a sucker for dogs.... always have been. I also wanted to say Robin, you look gorgeous in that picture, I love your really friendly and glowing smile. What a beautiful woman you are. I hope you're still feeling better and better! Hugs and much love! ~M~

    Micmel, His name is Freeway and I wanted to post this pic so you could see his eyes!! Yep..one blue and one brown. He was a very special dog. I fed him and his sister "Baby" Science diet their entire life. He did hang on in the end, he would get down and couldn't get up and I would think the end was near, then the next day.....he's up and walking around. He did not want to go. I can't leave out Baby, she was healthy as a horse until she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She passed at age 15 about a year before Freeway. I will have to take a picture of their memorial. I ordered 2 granite stones with their pictures on them and made a little sanctuary. A Catahoula is a type of cattle dog, close to an Australian Shepard. Thank you for the compliment on my picture....you are too kind. I am feeling pretty good except for the fatigue getting worse. I am so exhausted!

    Micmel, I can't leave my other baby out. Freeway and Baby were the children I never had, and I loved them as much as I would a child. They were my whole life. I need to edit this photo and take out the green from her eyes. She had beautiful brown eyes. I miss them so much!

    Robin~I can totally understand how you would feel that they are your children. I have two children, but I love my babies. We are watching Tag close these days.... he has old man eyes and the greys coming. Wobbling sometimes, back legs very very weak. Worries me. I love him the good dog he Is. hes is a loving old doggie now. He used to be buster bad ass, in his younger days! Love them so Much it hurts! Loss sucks. Bad! You really are quite lovely. I hope you’re loved a whole bunch through all this fighting we are forced to do. You have a good heart, you deserve the best. 💓💓~M~

    Dodgers~sigh. I’m sorry honey about your puppy. That’s never easy especially since it becomes just as much apart of our routine as it is their lives. Dogs truly are mans best friend! Now onto your diagnosis, sigh again. I know it never gets out of your mind. I know everyday it’s in the back of your thoughts. Just do what you can do each day, and realize. It my not be what you used to do... but At least, you’re doing something!!!! Hugs to you sweet woman. We know how that day feels. 🌹 🌹! ~M~

    Micmel— thanks fir the kind words. We are planning a short moment of silence tomorrow afternoon in memory of his passing.

    Dogs sure make the world a happier place. Nothing like the tail wag and kisses of unconditional puppy love!!

    they don’t care what you look like or if you have brushed your hair. Or if you’re having no hair! My dogs didn’t even notice any difference, it’s all in the voice to them I believe. They are truly the epitome of unconditional love. I will honor your little guy tomorrow afternoon as well. A precious pet indeed! 🐶🌹❣️❣️ ~M~
