She had congestive heart failure, and we ended up putting her down when she got so bad that she couldn't rest even with medication. That was the hardest thing I've ever done. I had her for 13 years.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1123596441890187792005-08-09T09:07:00.000-05:002005-08-09T09:07:00.000-05:00My dogs played tug of war with corrugated pipe too...My dogs played tug of war with corrugated pipe too! Problem was it was in use and connected to the gutters!<BR/><BR/>Chipmunks escape the dogs into the nearest hole. If that hole, whatever it is, gets destroyed.<BR/><BR/>I don't mind the dog getting the moles though. I will fill the holes they dig.<BR/><BR/>I am down to one lab right now. We had to put our other dog down earlier this year.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tonyarnold.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Tony</A>Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1123593220440916812005-08-09T08:13:00.000-05:002005-08-09T08:13:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed your article!Bandit is my 15 1/2 ...I really enjoyed your article!<BR/><BR/>Bandit is my 15 1/2 year old Jack Russell. He looks a lot like the picture of your dog, except his black face is getting very grey. He is almost completely deaf and he snaps, crackles, and pops when he walks, but is otherwise in good health.<BR/><BR/>I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am."<BR/><BR/>I am convinced that animals have souls. They are capable of love and a variety of other emotions. And I agree with the movie title: All Dogs Go To Heaven.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>MikeDr. Mike Kearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084390874645801690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1123586283994373582005-08-09T06:18:00.000-05:002005-08-09T06:18:00.000-05:00Thank you, JB.

However, they have a "toy" that they love to play with outside that takes a lot of abuse. In the second picture, Pete is standing next to a piece of corrugated pipe. Pete gets on one end, and Trixie gets on the other, and they tug and shake that pipe, growling all the while. It's a truely hilarious sight. They've gone through two or three 12-ft lengths of that pipe.JMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163521274652768781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1123542956821142242005-08-08T18:15:00.000-05:002005-08-08T18:15:00.000-05:00Sure dogs know love--BTW, I can see why you love y...Sure dogs know love--<BR/>BTW, I can see why you love yours--they are exceptionally cute!!<BR/><BR/>JBjettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351615360394477260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259631.post-1123517905511086762005-08-08T11:18:00.000-05:002005-08-08T11:18:00.000-05:00My dogs over the years have demonstrated the same ...My dogs over the years have demonstrated the same attributes. Nudgeing and pushing under my hand or arm to be petted, and the rolling over to say "rub here."<BR/><BR/>The rolling in the most foul smelling stuff.<BR/><BR/>Self-punishment or being ashamed,especially if an accident happens, which is usually the human's fault for leaving them in too long while gone or ignoring their clear signals of "let me out."<BR/><BR/>Have you had to replace gutters and other external items that have been completely destroyed in their pursuits of chipmunks and other rodent? Boy, that one makes me so made, but they are just doing what they were created to do.<BR/><BR/>And the unconditional love given and also so desparately sought after. You can see their need in their eyes.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tonyarnold.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Tony</A>Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.com
