My 110 lbs labrador is so naughty that I'm thinking of getting a cage for him, as I was contemplating I saw this giant dog crate it looks very strong and durable in keeping large dogs safely contained. I think that it is perfect for creating a little safe haven within your home for your dog which is all their own.

Jax just waking up.
We named him Jax after a character from Son's of Anarchy but he has several nick names.
When he rips around the house like the Tasmanian Devil it's, "Jax the Ripper" and when he barks or Howls it's,"Woofman Jax".

Hi
DeDywka welcome to VU . Well, that is a loaded question. No one really knows you...your personality, hence this is your first post and you just joined today. Don't know whether you want a small dog, medium, or large dog. Do you live in an apartment or in house that has a front/back yard that is fenced in? Will you be walking the dog or taking him/her to a dog park to run around? Are you prepared for the cost of having a dog? Have time to train the dog or have time/money to take the dog to get trained? Do you want a lazy dog, hyper dog or some where in between? I'm sure I left some thing out, but maybe, this will help a little to get you on the right track.

You sure cant. That little fella has not a care in the world at the moment.
Exactly. He was sleeping like the dead. I even moved him so I could sit on the bed and he never woke up LOL

Dogs are the best creatures on the planet, IMHO. Name at least one more creature that has such devotion and honesty. I recently became the owner of a husky puppy. My family has already become attached to him so much. Especially children. Recently, I bought him a dog collar gps, so God forbid he was not lost during a walk. Because the dog of my friends recently got lost .. this is a very unpleasant situation.
Congratulations on your new puppy!
They love to chew, tear/shred things up, but make up for it by the love they show and being part of the family
. So sorry to hear about your friends doggie, so very sad

She is patiently waiting for her ball to be thrown.

That is a good looking dog. I bet she is a ball of lightning when she gets going.
Some pictures of the new....and last puppies. Also found a good pic of the mama. Had her since she was a tiny pup and she's still my baby.

Thank you, jwill. She has lost a step or two, but she still has it. She is getting up in the years 12 yrs young. She's starting to become an old lady. However, she's acting like she's seven years young

WHY DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMAN
Here's the surprising answer of a 6 year old child.
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that dogs' lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ”I know why.”
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.
He said, ”People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The six-year-old continued,
”Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.”
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
• When your loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
• Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
• Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
• Take naps.
• Stretch before rising.
• Run, romp, and play daily.
• Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
• Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
• On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
• On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
• When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
• Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
• Be faithful.
• Never pretend to be something you’re not.
• If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
• When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
That's the secret of happiness that we can learn from a good dog.
