There was one time i was at a friends house and his next door neighbors had their dog in the back corner of the property in a so called "kennel" consited of chicken wire and whatever else could be pieced together and stuck behind the hedge of bushes you couldnt even see the dog if you wanted to all the dog did was bark whats the thinking behind some people. They are so assinine. I personally dont think that your best freind should be chained up or locked in a 10x10 kennel for hours on end. Just pisses me off

 

The only time my dog isn't with me is when I fly somewhere. He rides in the truck and is addicted to the heated seats, yes I turn them on for him. Here he is right now, under my desk. I also don't understand how people can treat an animal like that, it just doesn't make any sense to me

 

And no, I didn't put her arm around the cat. She did that all on her own.







Which reminds me, I should get a picture.

 

The people that live beside my office have "cages' for their two dogs. I never see anyone out there with them and when we walk out of the office to go to our vehicles the dogs stand up and look at us wagging their tails just wanting some human attention. I hate it that they are treated like that and I want to set them free....Dakota is spoiled. She used to go to work with me everyday but she doesn't really like Amish and I deal with them alot in my office so she can't be the office dog but she has her own pool:

 

that black dog looks alot like my dog.

 

I see it all too often. I'm a garbage man and in residential areas all day long and it's just a shame. I can drive to probably 50+ houses where the dogs are pretty much neglected. Our little rat (Dachshun/Yorkie) Bingley is a PITA but I love the lil bastard!

PS - you guys got some good looking dogs

 

Even though she was the shiest female, I love this dog to death.

 

My (now 3 years old) puppy is with me usually 24/7. He is with me at home, on the floor right next to my chair, right now, sleeping next to my desk chair, or at work out in the shop either sleeping on an old rear seat out of a Ford or following one of us around the shop. My shop wouldn't be the same without my Queensland running around. But I didn't get him for a lawn ornament, he's my buddy and thats why he is always with me. My customers and employees have had to get used to it. There is nothing funnier to watch than my Queensland grabbing my tech's shoe while under a truck and pulling him out from under the truck because he wants to play!

You notice also, as you look, that those of us that love our pets, and spend the time with our pets, have phenomenal pets! My dog is not fixed and just turning 3 years old, and minds better than most any dog I have ever met. Partially its because I will whoop his butt if needed, but mostly I think that because the animal isn't starving for attention it doesn't feel the need to act out of desperation to gain attention.

 

It's the hats Duster. I've had a lot of dogs react to the hat I wear in the winter. I report any instances of what I consider abuse immediately. I have four(three rescues) and they are family to me .
