What We Do For Our Pets.

[Diamondback]

I hear ya... it could be either a good or a bad sign that when I walk out to the tree and stand still with my hand on a branch he'll take nuts from between my fingers. Any thoughts on trying to put together an exercise/therapy regimen? Lefty just did a lot of climbing my leg to get walnuts and peanuts out of my hand, but he was already grown and a "people person" when he showed up, and he was much less pronounced in how he favored one side.

Guess that's another jacket I gotta buy... first a red tailcoat (and of course the top hat!) to be ringmaster if I have to live in the Sh*t Circus the world's becoming, then a labcoat if I gotta be "Squirrel Nurse" to help my little buddy get well.

Took the pup to Petco yesterday for some snacky snacks. He was in Disneyland walking around, sniffing all the treats..bark-greeting the other dogs.

Sometimes I think about what my two dogs do for me. For instance, I am diabetic and my dogs get me up and moving which helps me deal with it. I also enjoy the companionship. The hugs and interaction is very important to me. I never had time for kids due to being deployed six months out of many years. These dogs are my kids. I pray I never get so old I can't have a dog.

We had a female German Shepard for a few years when I was a teen. But it was really my sisters dog. My step-mother also had two toy poodles, but they were 'her' dogs..not family dogs.

I never had my own till just last year--at 53. And yes..he started as my wife's dog..but became mine on his own accord.

I can't believe what I missed out on. My pup means the world to me. So yes, I do many things for him, for example carrying him (at 27 lbs) a mile last month because he got hold of a squirrel and received a few battle scars on his eyelid,..(see pic)

But what he does for me, the companionship, the love, playtime, home security, stranger introductions (met a lot of wonderful people through him during dog walks). Getting me outside... Priceless.

I only regret that I will probably outlive him.

Had a variety of dogs through the years. Last passed in 2008. Decided not to do that again. Then this one came along in 2013...


Never had a Lab before. Meets all the positive attributes mentioned by others.
