I did not want to hijack justme's thread so I thought I would start a thread about dogs (or pets) every one has had.
In this picture are the last 2 dogs we've had to say good bye to, the Lab in front "Brutus" was the protector of young, any time we had a young child at the place or a new baby calf, pig or what ever he would make sure that they were safe, the brown dog is an Akita mix "Zorro" he would protect the wife when ever I was not home, my oldest boy got a ride home from football practice by his coach, Zorro would not let him out of his car, I got home right after they did and as soon as I was home he could careless about the coach. He and the white dog in the background where brother and sister between the 2 we never had a coyote on the place, he weighed 120 pounds in his prime. She is still with us, she is 13 now and likes to sleep by the fireplace and lets the younger dogs chase off the coyotes.
