Pets

This is Jazz, Whippet/Beagle cross,

 

this is Jibi, mortise breed mix with pekingese.
"normal face"

did something bad, "guilty face"

 

Our cat is sort of like a dog, as well. He's waiting at the door every time we come home. He comes when called, and follows us around the house. It's almost impossible to keep him off your lap in the evening. He's very "food motivated," as our vet says. He sleeps at the foot of our bed, and makes a mean semi-dry cider.

 

here my Jessy

 

my god what do you do when a whiple gets on a scent. i hope its less hard headed then a beagle. a dog with the drive of a beagle and the speed of a whippet woudl be ddangurous

 

I love this thread. Every single pet here is amazing!

Randy, I remember your pair of labs really well. Man, are they ever sucks! Am I imagining things, or did your "third dog" not sleep on my bed, when we had crazy knife-making fun, last year? All awesome!

Here's my boy. He's my best bud.







Eat. Play. Sleep. And, yes, he's sleeping with an Estwing hammer.

 

A dog that sleeps with a hammer by his side, talk about the ultimate guard dog!

 

Puppies and cats!

So I don't have a pet of my own since I'm in grad school and I travel a lot. Gone too much. So I just borrow other people's pets! I like to pretend they're mine though.

This is Pearl. She's big and dopey.

And likes to sit like a person.




Her life is really difficult.

 

Butch, it's nuts! I was walking her in the bush, she picked up the scent of a rabbit, I let her off leash, she sniffed twice, and was gone! 20 seconds later, a couple hundred yards away, the bunny broke out of the bush, and tried to cross a field, Jazz was about 75 yards behind it, rabbit had 50 yards to the next bush, both running flat out, Jazz caught it! Before it made the bush! She gets so low when she runs, she scuffs her belly. Haha! Just a blur...

As for stubborn, she isn't bad, but when she's on scent, you could beat her with a stick, and she wouldn't break. Nose down, and hell bent . Hell of a good dog, more house dog, than a working dog. If you keep her on leash, you can control her. Off leash, she doesn't stop, till the scent ends in a critter.

 

Sounds awfully familiar. Beagles are little powerhouse athletes to begin with. I can't imagine adding more speed to my bud. Damn!

 

i can barely sprint with mine down to the shop (i used to be fairly fast )
lefty what hight its your beagle looks like the smaller build

 

Forgot my other two guys, been with me for 28years give or take a few



They suck chasing hares dispite what you may have heard

 

Thanks to my new scanner here are a few more hunting partners and friends. Higgins on Top and Jezebel on the bottom

 

They look like great companions, Jim. It must be time to get a new dog.

 

The lads: came bundeled with the better half... hated them in the begining, now I find them awesome!

 

Weird how those geese weren't bothered by Jez's presence. Beautiful dogs Jim.

 

My bestie, Cooper. He is an American Brittany.

 

From left going clockwise:
(1) My wife (before she said "I do") playing with what was a birthday present to myself,
(2) a black lab mix rescue we named Besos.
(3)You can see the family grow...

 

Mycroft (9 months) laying near Abby (9 years). This is rare! It almost never happens that Abby will let Mycroft lay near her during the day, though they sleep in the same crate every night. :

 

Fingers crossed I can get the boss to sign on. If not this spring next I guess.
