You are the perfect candidate for an older dog from a shelter. An older dog is already trained, is more laid back, is very appreciative of a good, loving home. For some reason, people would rather have puppies or young dogs. Not me. I adopted my Cody, a small mixed breed when he was 10 yrs old. He is now 13 and he has been the perfect companion.

What kind are they? We have four dogs on our farm, the outside guard dog of the barnyard and goats is a pyreenes/kommodore mix named General, (he is so good with the babies they just jump and play on him all day and he just lays there). Our inside ones are Leah a g-pyreenes, yes she is inside and huge, Heidi a havernees poodle mix and our youngest one is Blue a australian shepard to herd the animals but he has turned out to be a big baby so I dont see that happening he does help us put the chickens in at night. They are our kids and cant imagine not having them….
Just thought I would ask its crazy but I have a 9 year old belgian draft horse who I have to find a home for because of the hay shortage, I just cant afford to keep her. She is so sweet and loving. I have had people wanting to buy her but they were either horse traders or not the best with animals and she is just a big baby. I want her to have a good home because she deserves it. She is so gentle and loving, our little welsh pony runs her around. Her name is Gem. She has been used for pulling wagons before we got her but we just rode her bareback or with a saddle. Just thought by chance. Thank you , I live in Baxter county in the norther part of AR. We just not got some rain this weekend the most we have had since the beginning of April.

What great looking dogs! Proper vet care is so very important and it looks like the girls are getting a lot of TLC. So sweet.

Love your dogs, and very happy for you. Brings so much to our lives when they are in our home. I could not be without a dog. I just had to put my sweet yorkie down last wednesday, She was
12 years old. Just about pulled my heart out. Thinking of getting another soon. They are so great to have around, they bring so much joy to us.
It is fun to read all about your dogs, and see how they are growing.
Good luck to you, they are darling.

Love your shows, books and this newsletter. I’m so glad to see you have dogs and have found a good vet. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have the sweetest little rat terrier who will probably be my last because we will probably finish up about the same time. I have always been so grieved over all the abused, neglected and unwanted animals that I never miss a chance to promote the ASPCA and ask everyone to please spay or neuter their pets. Keep up your good work.

This is the first time in 35 years that we are without a dog. Our beloved Molly passed away last year at the ripe old age of 18. She was the last of three dogs we had at once and we loved them all to bits. I still go to give her the leftover chicken from my plate.
We are now a “cats only” family with two elderly sisters named Katy and Chessie who are 15. All of our pets come from the local shelter and we would do it again – except with the longevity of our furry friends – we are afraid they would outlive us!
How I envy you your Smudge and Squeak!!

Awww, its so great to see someone giving proper vet care to their animals. Mine are spoiled rotten and actually LOVE my vet and run through the door and pull to look in all the exam rooms looking for her. With 3 dogs, yes its an ordeal and I have to do them in shifts in and out the door but what better thing can you do for that unconditional love, affection and smiling faces when you pull into home. Can wipe a bad day right off your mind for sure!

I’ve always had dogs and always felt they deserve our best attention and care. Unconditional love and all those welcoming tail wags are priceless. Thanks for the posting Allen.
My dogs are terrified by horse flies, hey, so am I. They bite a chunk out of you when they land. The shampoos with flea and tick treatment really work, and the oatmeal seems to be great for their skin.
