I can't believe how much I love my dog.
Meet Laika, the real space dog

Also, people here on VN convinced me to adopt and I am so glad I did. I encourage everyone to adopt.
Agreed, All of our dogs are adoptions or rescues. I got the big pup Ruger from a family in Oak Ridge about 2 months ago. They got him as a baby, but found out they did not have time and he was more dog than they wanted.
Right. So many good dogs need homes. Kinda pisses me off when people ditch their dogs. 2 months isn't that bad, but honestly, the dog thinks you're family. To me it's like giving up a kid. Science is finding out (confirming) more and more that dogs are emotionally like people in a lot of ways. Like they romantacize their relationships. Just seeing you releases endorphins, type stuff.
My GSDs that live out on the farm with us....
This big boy is Ruger he was 10 months old in this photo weighing in at 95lbs. He is now 1yr old. He is loving life on the farm and doing great in his training.

These young guys are Loki and Thor.We rescued these two 8-month old pups early last year. Worked with them to evaluate and start basic training. I placed them with a friend who is finishing training them as service dogs for Wounded Warriors.

I do not have a photo on hand to post, but we also have a rescued 10yr old GSD/Golden Retriever mix. She is a sweetheart who's family decided they did not want her any more because she was getting older (wth?). She still runs and plays, loves rides in the farm truck and piling up on the couch to watch the Vols play.
Later Rednecks...
Do you know what it is? My dog is 14 lbs, and as best as we can guess she is a poodle and some kind of terrier.
Got her when she was about 7-10 months old.
