This is Butters, he is a wire fox terrier born last August.

Young Butters


Young Butters mad at the camera


Young Butters with halloween candy


After his first couple of weeks home he jumped over his pet gate. Below is how I shut him in the kitchen one day when I went to work. I came home and said hi, went out to get the mail, and when I came back he was waiting for me at the door, he climbed over somehow. The back of the picture has nothing on it, it is completely smooth.

Edits (in blue) made January 27, 2010

Bear, Male, approaching ten, a very healthy 75#.  Best, most intelligent dog I will ever own, and for not much longer.







Bear died 7/30/2009.  We had him put to sleep due to a sudden and total cardio/pulmonary collapse.  He had several undiagnosed hemangiosarcoma tumors internally, one of which had ruptured.

We were blessed with never having to see him "sick", except for a couple of hours at the end.

I will never own a better dog, or have a more loyal friend.




Ally, Female, just turned eight, and olympic athlete @ 70#.  Total Spaz.





Ally died 12/3/2009.  Shortly after I authored this post, we noticed a lump under her skin.  Biopsies revealed nothing, but by 11/08 the tumor was very large, and the vet wanted it removed.  Ally's surgery was in January of 2009.  Testing revealed the tumor to be hemangiosarcoma.  Without treatment, average expectancy was three months.  Six months with chemo and radiation.  We opted not to put her through that.

She fought for almost a year, and was her happy spazzy self right up to the end... even though the cancer metastasized internally with horrific results.


They are great together (he tolerates her antics), and they are our "neighborhood watch":




With friends:





Both are rescues from Wisconsin Rottweiler Rescue

These two "dogs" were with us for almost a decade, and the pain of their loss is not easily forgotten.

The dogs you are referring to belong to Ratters (my kids are the Rotties just above his post), I answered just because I'm familliar with the breed.  That said, every Swissy I've ever come into contact with has been a sweetheart.

a cat I rescued in qatar, the country that u.s. servicemen and women go on pass to just off the coast of saudi arabia from iraq or afghanastan. The city was really nice but it has some slums to and I was walking around the alleyways not far from the gold suuks on a city tour and saw her lying in the street, I thought she was struck by a vehicle, she didn't even realize I was standing over her till I touched her. She was weak and had an infected rear leg and couldn't walk well, I gave her and some other cats and kittens some tuna.

I went back on the tour next day and saw her and felt really bad and couldn't leave her for good so back at the base there I started emailing vets there, it's a very modern city, and they actuall had a cat rescue organization. The lady responded quickly, and 2 days later, my last day, I went on the tour again, had her meet me at the gold suuks, we had like a 45 minute window, and we went and she was able to lure her with tuna and caught her. I gave riyals, their cash, to take her to the vet for whatever she needed and for boarding till she was well and could be flown to my parents here in the u.s., and then said goodbye.

She was doing well for a few weeks and living a good life she had never known but unfortunately passed away from a chest infection about 3 weeks later on feb. 23rd.
That email was upsetting, oddly 1 of the few things that really upset me the wold time I was in iraq.

I named her qatari.

I told her to go back and catch the black and white 1 to and I'd pay for it's vet care and it could go to her cat farm but I don't know if she ever did.

Ha, my girls are sweethearts, some of the time.  The breed isn't as overtly friendly as the berners, but are great dogs nonetheless.  My oldest one has been referred to as "snarky" on a couple occasions.  But I can't imagine life without them.

Beautiful Rotts, btw FMD.

A variety of ailments cropping up due to old age (back and bladder problems most recently).  The former is what will most likely do him in, though he is still pretty healthy at the moment.

Bear's approximately ten, and has lived a pretty charmed life over the last nine. Average age for the breed is eleven before they go. While we can hope, there's no reason for us to expect he'll go much longer than that, especially with his back problems (surgery under a general is kind of a crapshoot with elderly dogs).

Damn I want a pit. She is cool.

I hesitate bcause I have five other dogs and one is an English Bull Terrier.(avater)  She gets a little aggressive with the Jack Russell Terrorist and I would just be devastated if she got hurt or the pit got hurt. She constantly wrestles hard with the Boston Terrier...I have to yell at her when she's carrying the Boston across the floor by her neck skin....

Maggie, when she was a pup, about a week after we caught her. She and 4 siblings had been tossed out of a car, The first 4 were caught and adopted right away by others, but it took about a week of building her trust, to get her close enough for us to catch her. Best dog I have ever had.

what type of dog is flappy?

that's a cool story about maggie, it's always good to know there are other people who will put so much time into helping an animal.

Stella looks like 1 of my puppies, moose, who I ended up giving away to a vet tech who loved him after a lenghty stay at the vet after an accident he had. Ironically 1 of the 4 we still have is a white smaller dog named stella.

That really is unfortunate about macauly to.

I started a thread in a forum and didn't realise that there was this forum!

I absolutely love dogs and the companionship they have to offer.

Here is my co-pilot and supervisor in my gun shop.  He watches me work on every pistol that goes through the shop.  He lets me know when the UPS or FedEx truck pulls in and keeps a very watchful eye of the house and shop while nobody is home.  He is the nicest dog in the world when somebody is either at the shop or in the house, but if nobody is present, it isn't a good idea to get out of the car.

He is an Australian Cattle Dog, commonly known as the "Blue Heeler."  He is 3 years old and just about the smartest dog I have ever had the pleasure of training.  He is named Mack (short for Mackay, a city I visited when I spent a month in Australia).  He will sit, stay until you say it's ok to move, shake, shake with the other paw, speak when you ask him what a puppy says, lay down, roll over, turn around in a circle when asked to turn around, and shimmy back about 6 inches when you tell him to "back up."  He loves playing fetch and catches frisbees out of the air.  He also sits at the foot of my bed and waits till I say "Come on up" to jump in bed and lay down for sleep.

He was almost killed when he ran out in front of my brother in law and got hit with a truck.  It rattled a tooth out of his head and caused some nerve damage to his ear (that's why it won't stand up like it should).  Since then, he has found a new respect for the road and cars that drive by....he doesn't chase them at all.

My two beasts. Simon the JRT and Rod the retired racer. I couldn't have two more different dogs, but they are a great pair. The little one is a ball of fire and the big one just wants to freaking sleep all day. I had a kid ask me if he was a kangaroo once. I got a laugh out of that.
