This is how my greyhound sleeps... it is known as 'roaching'.

My loving Chihuahua Spike, may he rest in peace.

The first Stardog!

Me and my bowdler, Buddy.  He's a pizza dog.... a pizz of this and a pizz of that and a pizz of the other..  His father is a daschund, Maltese, Shi tsu cross, and his mother is a fox terrier, chihuahua poodle cross. 

As for "bowdler", well dogs go bow wow, right?..... therefore a critter emanating such sounds has to be a bowdler

Yeah, I think I may have to get one of those cone thingies for my pouch.   He has an allergy and is constantly biting at himself so keeps losing hair.  I've tried umpteen different remedies and none seem to work but just slow it down some.

As for "pouch".  Well he's only little but he can sure tuck the food away someplace.  And no, he never gets fat from eating, he burns it all off with a high metabolism and constantly being on the move.

Yeah, I had my ex-girlfriend's cat for several years after she left, and he exhibited many traits of a dog.  He would often stand guard at the front door with my rottweiler and scare off the uninvited with snarls and the gnashing of teeth.  He would sit at my feet just like a dog would, so I had Nelson my rottweiler on on side and Frog the cat on the other.  They were the best of friends as well as partners in crime together.

I also trained Nelson not to touch his food until I had given him certain commands.  This was to prevent him being baited, and strangely enough, Frog began doing the same thing.... wouldn't touch his food until I gave those same commands.  Yeah, Frog may have been a cat but he behaved very much like a dog a lot of the time.  Sadly, I have neither of them anymore, though it was over 20 years ago when the pair of them were scaring away and terrorising salesmen, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses.

Oh darn, that's sad news, Brad. We'll be thinking of you. 

We've had dozens of dogs over the years and every time we lose one, I totally decompensate, so I completely understand.  Condolences, Brad.

Here's the next one I'm going to lose my shit over when he goes:

Bailey was a beautiful dog, Brad.  I'd love to have one like her.

I've lost a few 11 year old fur kids, I know your pain.   My condolences.  They are family members.  Not animals.

The above is my current buddy.  Name is Jaxon, but we mostly call him Bubba.

And this is Baby Girl (Pheobe) my wife's Japanese Akita, she is the Boss as Kosh can be a bit of of Hooligan and a thug, Baby Girl is around 70KG and Kosh is around 65KG

Sad to hear this, Brad...a dog is four legs and a heart. My condolences.
