    OMG Cedric is beyond cute and lovable, that face melts you.

    Cyrus has one of the most striking appearances I've encountered. He shines with intelligence.

    And you are , of course , a lovely lady with impeccable pet picking abilities.

    Great photos.

    Bella , I think Max and I resemble each other (my apologies Max).

    How could anyone not love him?

    *Squishes Max* You are too adorable!

    Cedric is beyond cute, but of course I am very allergic to him so I only get limited wrinkle petting time.

    I got some interesting news today... don't want to say too much and jinx myself but we may have another puppy coming this year.

    Ooo That's very exciting Shazzy! Are you going to tell us what breed at least?

    Let me take a stab at the breed.. another like cyrus? (I think that's how his name is spelt)

    Yup, another Cyrus. She is only 3 months old so will have to see how she turns out as she matures first.

    Here's hoping I don't jinx the whole process, but here is a pic of the pup that we might be adopting. And for those of you who didn't see my thread. My boy Max passed away about 2 weeks ago now, so here is a beautiful picture our Shazzy has done for me. She does amazing work, and will do custom orders for a very small price considering the quality of work she does!

    That pup seems a little confused by something... might be the snow ;)

    He's adorable! :)

    It's already been 2 weeks... it seems as if it happened some time ago only... RIP again Max

    Well the adoption went through! He is officially ours! He is RUDE, BAD, doesn't LISTEN, but he's ours! He's a typical puppy and it's going to be so much fun training him to be the good little boy I know he can be!

    Awww he is so cute.. Congrats on your new addition! Congrats to the puppy as well for finding his new forever home


    I went to a festival this weekend, actually it was just a long road in Calgary with different businesses and community groups. Anyway, they had 3 different rescue groups with pups there to be adopted... I begged and pleaded but hubby made me realize that we can not afford another dog at this time. Owen needs to have his surgery done first. Still my heart was just aching for these pups, I hate seeing animals with no forever home.

    He looks content. To say the least.

    Congrats , he is too cute for his own good!
    I'd end up spoiling him I know... Muttley is a bit spoiled as
    All my pets seem to end up. Wish I knew who was doing it. :rolleyes: ;)


    I like the life size pictures too.

    Hope you have many many happy years together.

    Oh boy, You definitely have your hands full for the next while, Bella, my god he is all legs!

    Oh Tick, he is so clumsy! It's literally a bull moose in a china shop minus the china ;) He technically is mom and dads new pup, but seeing as our backyards are basically connected, he spends a lot, and I mean a LOT of time over here. Of course I don't mind, or entice him with nice juicy bones :D He is a quick learner, picking up lots of good habits from Lady.

    I would like to introduce everyone to the newest member of our household, Dresden.

    Attachment 36522

    He is 12-18 months old. He was found by a police officer on the firing range about six months ago. Skin, bones, and worms. The officer took him in and saved his life. Nursed him back to health after the vet said that the pup probably wouldn't make it. He is now a healthy young man who needs more attention than the officer's older dog was willing to let him have. So, he put him up for adoption.

    He obviously was not treated well before or while he was on his own (I am afraid he probably was an abandoned hunting dog. It happens around here.) However, the officer did a great job of healing the body and soul. He is an absolutely wonderful pup.

    We had started looking for another dog about Chloe's age and size. I saw his picture and fell in love.

    Chloe has adopted him. Wednesday night when we brought him home they spent four hours straight playing with each other. Part of that time was Chloe showing him how to use the doggie door.

    I'll put up better pictures of him later and we can have fun playing 'guess the breed/breeds.' :)

    Welcome to the newcomer! :D

    Aurora_Bell

    Ohh how exciting Cat and Cats. He is a handsome boy and no doubt will be just as spoiled as miss Chloe. I could sqish you with hugs and kisses for rescuing this little man! I can't wait to play guess the breed. I'm starting with a lab collie mix :D

    Thanks, Bella, but the person who rescued him was the officer. We are just opening our home to him.

    There does appear to be lab in him and I thought Collie, too, until I saw his tail. He generally keeps it curled rather tightly over his back. I am trying to get a picture with it up, but he doesn't care for the flash on the camera and the tail goes down as fast as Chloe's ear when you want it to stay up. :rolleyes:

    I will admit that over the past year, I had forgotten how much fun a double coat is when it comes to shedding.
  • Jun 17, 2011, 03:17 PM
    Aurora_Bell

    Ahh the shedding. A whole new joy in it's self :p Even though that wonderful officer rescued him, you guys are just as special in his life. He is one lucky boy. How is his personality. He looks like he's be a lot of fun!

    Oh cat, oh so lovely, look so much like a Walker hound. I love him, can I have him if you don't want him. Love the nose, hound eyes, probably a sight, scent and sound hound dog. My taffy was one of those and was a pleasure beyond belief well into her elder years, bless her heart. Cherish Dresden.

    He almost looks Beagleish.
  • Jun 17, 2011, 04:52 PM
    Cat1864

    Tick, you may have hit on the main part of his breeding. Walkers are very common hunting dogs around here and the firing range is an area that sees a lot of them dumped after hunting season. (It is very hard not to blow up just thinking about the irresponsible 'dog' hunters.)

    Hands on he is all hound. Which mixture may be anyone's guess.

    I am going to try to get better pictures of him. Also some updated pics of Chloe. I tend to forget just how big she is until she stands next to another dog.

    Awwww Dresden is adorable!! Congrats on the new addition.
    There certainly looks to be a lot of mixes in there, you can see a little bit of quite a few breeds.

    Dresden looks exactly like my taffy's mom who was purebred Walker Hound; taffy was l/2 something else. Taf was about 70 lbs. and all legs, huge hound, sight and scent type of hound dog.

    I just took a look at some walker hounds online, (we don't see them very often around here) and I have to agree! Dresden sure looks houndish! I guess that's where I was getting the beagleish feelings from.

    Congrats on all the new additions guys, just looking at the pictures makes me broody slobbering fool.
