I'm still learning just how to link photos from imageshack, so bear with me here...

This is Maxwell. He's a rescue dog, who spent his first who-knows-how-many years tied to a tree. When we first took him in as a foster family, he would burrow under furniture and tremble - he'd never been indoors before.

He struggles with very low self-esteem. You've heard of the alpha dog...well, Maxwell is the omega dog!

He's sweet, though.

Nice dog!

I got mine from the humane society. I'm pretty sure she spent a lot of time around people, though. Either that or she's just incredibly smart. She's seems too responsive and picks up on anything you train her too quickly to have been ignored. Plus, she loved to play fetch and knew to bring the ball back. The form the previous owners filled out said they were giving her up because allergies (theirs) and it could be true since everything else on the form was accurate.

Thanks we got him as a puppy and now he is about 5 years old. He is a purebred Belgian Tervuran, a type of Belgian Sheepdog. I love him to bits, and miss him now that I don't live at home anymore.

Are you sure? I think you have one by ManDay and one by Mayday. It would be ironic if he did submit two since he corrected ManDay for the same offence.

I think Bob's right, Zapper.

And Bob, I love your dog's shades. That's one seriously cool looking dog. :approve:

A truly viscious specimen preparing to pounce on his unsuspecting prey in the snow... Clyde's hunting prowess is only matched by his intimidating, raw, floppy cuteness.

I bet he is good at hunting oreos with a snout like that!

He definitely likes to smell stuff. It's interesting to see how selective breeding has shaped personality and mannerisms as well as looks, because whenever he's looking for something it's tail in the air, and nose to the ground.

A co-worker of mine had a Basset Hound that would sniff out a piece of gum from the bottom of her purse and wait until she went to bed to go eat it. He also ate a whole package of Oreos that were sealed inside a Tupperware container. She also made a wreath that had milk bones glued to it and the whole thing was covered in polyurethane. He ate all the plastic coated milk bones and survived.

We named her after seeing the play Wicked last year. She is cute but is a bit of an airhead.

I can't separate all of the cuteness and adorableness from great photography. Everyone should win this one.

Looks like it's stuck to a wall vertically. Is that how you intended it to be?

GEEEZ, can't you see it was taken sideways? The bot left of the picture shows a table so I guess you had better start orienting yourself again!

Well that sort of works, unless you dogs name is Velcro.
 
  • #54
I always thought that dogs were sticky.

That's a good-looking dog...and the photo has an interesting perspecive.

Looks like the dog is on one of those carnival rides where you stand against the wall and the room starts spinning, and then the floor drops away...
