Why wouldn't someone want to adopt her?

Bumpin it up.

Nacho rules!

I'd be kind of afraid to let him jump with a skier like that. Both my Jack and my friends' dog (also named Jack) have been cut pretty good by contact with ski edges. But hey, if...

Some bitch probably didn't like drool.

Can you resist?

If I owned that dog it would be seriously overweight...

Thanks! Yes, usually. The river bottom is pretty low elevation so there might not be any snow right down on the road depending on how consistently cold it's been (though most winters there is a...

Mr. Multi - how long do those last? Wouldn't last more than a couple days with Jack. I got him a toy that doesn't have any stuffing in it - he loves it and it's lasted a heckuva long time. Would...

Love it!

If I could lick my own balls I'd probably never leave the house.

Scrubadub - he's 70 lbs. Kintla looks like a sweetie.

ISBD - I think I commented earlier in this thread or in another how much your dog looks like Jack. What's her name? She could be his twin, except that Jack hates water.

No idea on his heritage,...

Yeah, when I first got him he was all black except a few of his toes, a patch on his chin, the T on his chest, and his wang. Over the last 2-3 years most of the fur on his underside and a lot on his...

Took Jack and his girlfriend Barley to Marymoor today.

They ran their asses off

Engaged...

WTF? You kidnapped my dog and convinced him to like water.... how the hell did you do that?

Godspeed Skookum!

From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do...

There's sizing info on the site - the link is on the top of the page I linked to. Has to do with the width of their paws, not the weight.

Granulated spring snow seems to be the hardest on my guy's paws, so I bought him some of those cheap fabric dog booties from this place:
...

Handsome boy, Stuck. He'll never nag you.

Surfing Pugs.... love it! You should get her a pooka shell collar.

If I was to own a small dog it would be either a Jack Russel or a Pug.

Godspeed Bomber! He looks like an amazing buddy.

Commonlaw - that guy is damned lucky that gun didn't go off while the dog was chewing on that guy's arm.

Can't argue with that. The vid Powdork posted of Nacho outrunning him is pretty crazy. I think his light weight must give him an advantage.

You can see in the vid I posted where Jack gets...

bendtheski, That's awesome!

I don't know what to tell you about his endurance - let your conscience and concern for your buddy be your guide. I can see how it would be real easy to overrun him...

Jack's pretty tired out by the time I video'd this. He'd been chasing that damn car half the day already. The other dog is Barley - Jack's girlfriend.

Fucking classic! :yourock:



Jack runs around like a mad dog no matter what. Putting the booties on him prevents his paws from getting shredded by ice crystals. Doesn't really change the mad...

Get these:

They are cheap and lightweight and will stay on your dog's feet better than the expensive POS that the pet stores...

Hah! That's badass, thanks Bobby!

I found the video but it's a friend's video on Facebook, not sure how to share it here. Does this work?
...

Bitchin. Love this thread.

Nacho is too damned fast! Never seen a dog get way out in front like that. I'll see if my buddy still has the video of me & Jack skiing down from Long's Pass a couple...

Good food: Check. Good Times: not so much as I'm a fucking cripple right now.





Yorkies? I will say that Yorkies definitely have attitude. And, evac-ing them from the BC if one gets hurt...

Underoos - nice pack!
Point_it - she looks like a real sweetie. Goldens have such great temperaments.

Doggie not-so-stoked:
...

The house is empty tonight. I had to drop Jack off at the vet's after work as he's having a procedure to remove a nasty little lump on his head tomorrow. I keep looking over at his bed and he's not...

He did and I was not at all expecting him too. In the 5 years I've been skiing with him I've never seen him huck anything, he always finds a way to go around it. Because I wasn't expecting him to...

Pics or it didn't happen.

^^I call foul. No pic of said stoked doggie!

Tucker and Nacho look like brothers.

fishbenk - can you turn your back on that fish with Naya around? My old Elkhound would've had himself a quick snack if you ever left a fish laying around near...

Sorry about Mega, Smartyiak but looks like you've made room in your heart for a new buddy.

This is from a couple springs ago, just stumbled across it doing some photo organizing.

Jack &...

Spring corn and breakable crust tears Jack's paws up. No matter how much he's been out and "toughening up," crystallized snow and crustiness will have him leaving red splotches all over everything. ...

AK47bp - sorry to hear about Jackson. Good on you for taking him out for one last walk in the snow.

Great pics everyone! Gotta love this thread.

Ehuge - that boy's gotta helluva 'stache!

Yep, that's a bummer. Even when my dogs haven't gotten along, they've gotten along if you know what I mean. As long as they're not bloodying each other, it's no big deal. Heck, my Elkhounds used to...

Ditto. Please explain.


Edgnar - take more photos next time!

How long do the antlers last? They're kind of spendy so I've been hesitant to buy one for Jack. He's not a big chewer but I'd like to find something that'll spark that in him to help keep his teeth...

^^peanut butter kongs?

Your Llama's name is Janet Reno? LOL!

I take it the pup figured out how to deal with those ewes?

rmnpsplitter - how big (small) is she?

tBatt - I'm guessing Yorkie mix?

^^ No kidding. That little guy is a killer, and not in a bad way!

Thanks for the recco on the movie - I'll definitely check that out.

Tor was totally unreliable off-leash. I could let him off if we were up in the mountains away from people but if there were...

Schralph - just be careful with him around other dogs, especially as he gets older. Akitas can be very dog-aggressive unless super well socialized. They are great family protectors but tend to be...

High dominance drives and aloofness seem to be a characteristic of most of the Northern/Spitz breeds of which the Akita and Shiba are members, along with Huskies, Malamutes, Elkhounds and various...

liv2ski - I have a Nikon D7000 and usually shoot with a 16-85 lens. Photography is a hobby of mine so if you don't want to spend that kind of money to take pics of the dogs & other stuff there are...
