It's a Dogs Life
 

At least here anyway. I thought I'd share some pics of "the Pack" taking a break from a hard day of doing nothing:) They are Gunner, Gunner & Crazy Daisy, Tara and Daisy. Somehow I have omitted Wild Willey Binks.

I want to see Wild Willie..sounds interesting..Bill

Here's WWB, he's pissed at Gunner because Gunner has "his" place on the couch. We got Willie when the Star Wars movie came out and he had big floppy ears like the character Jar Jar Binks in the movie. At 12 most of the Wild has gone out of The Binkers.

Looks like my house..I don't have a place to sit sometime..we love them all, don't we.

The little guy is Otto, the Lab is Cooper who is 12 and not doing well.

His chair
 

It seems like they just want to hang around... I lost my recliner.

I had to buy another chair just so I had a place to sit also. Willie has his place on the couch, Gunner has his chair usually accompanied by my shoe and Tara is on the wife's lap.

Sorry to hear Otto isn't faring well. I know all to well about that. Gunner is 14, Tara and Willie are both 12 and all have issues. Gun has some kind of intestinal problem and hasn't had a solid stool in over a month, I'm now feeding him a special food at $150/mo I think he eats better than I do. Willie has arthritus and it has just about destroyed his front shoulder and his rear right knee has been held together with 150lb test monofillament for over 10 years. Tara is insulin dependant diabetic, two shots per day and it has effected her eyesight as she is almost blind.

The "kids" need a health plan!

I don't mean to laugh, but it sounds like an old folks home...

It is an Old Folks home, an ageing hunter and his dogs. I'm damn near a fossil myself and Daisy is the young punk kid and she is 6 going on 7. Its time for a new pup but that just isn't in the cards.

Unfortunately I think we will have some openings in the next year:cuss::crying:

Rich, I look at your dogs and I can only imagine the memories. You're a lucky man!!

I feel your pain Rich, Cooper... the Lab...has a tumor on his lung which has caused him to go blind from something like Uv itis then he fell down stairs because he can't see and got a nasty cut on his ear all and all the vet bills last week where 1200, just trying to keep him comfortable while he's happy being a dog... he's still in good spirits... my daughter a different story, having a tough time dealing with it as she grew with him.

Queen size bed- king size dogs. Rough life huh? Second and third picture is of them during a lull in the action outside the pit. Labs just know how to chill.

Look into these Lab's eyes and tell me dogs don't have souls....

I just couldn't imagine going through life without a dog...or two:)

My breeder just sent me this photo. I couldnt resisit sharing it. Taking the dog hunting with his SxS....enough said.

:rotf:Now that should be a Parker of the month picture!!

What memories this picture brought back to me.. when this was a way of life.
We did not have cell phones,big screen TV,video games but had things that my Grand Children still can not understand.
