I want another dog. Boohoo. But we travel too much so it won't work any more. Thanks for the pictures.

Not officially ours but now thinking I'M the one they've adopted! We've known them for approximately a year.
Lots of drama from that time, one was forgotten and left outside while our nearby resident coyote pack are howling. We've had these two on and off going on four months. Often three weeks at a time.
Pretty sorry situation with their owner and I don't know how or where he's going to end up. My wife is greatly emotional about it and also frustrated. Latest ordeal- owner took off and left them for four days, out of food and water (not the first time this has happened). At the persistence of my wife, she made me try and contact the owner last night. Fortunately through some diligent phone work and others, did get to the owner. Agreed for me to pick them up.
Both are very cute and intelligent. We have leash laws but in some remote paths, I've let them off. They walk in synch and very well mannered. The light colored is very stoic and sticks to me like a magnet. Sits still and likes to observe while I work on a project. The other is more playful, endless puppy like.

@DiabloScott, I suppose I knew you have a greyhound. I had two. Here is Waffle, our more recent greyhound. She was a big sweetie. We got her at age five, after she retired from racing. I looked her up, and she was an AA champion. We had her for nine years, and I counted: she barked eight times in all that time. She was very calm and quiet. She had the ability to calm down rambunctious dogs. She could even calm down cats and get them to walk up to her. Everyone picked up on her energy.

Thank you, @non-fixie. She was special, and everyone knew it. We miss her.

Thank you for bumping this zombie-thread! This last 90 minutes has been like therapy for me after a bad, bad year. Seeing people being kind to dogs is almost enough to restore my faith in our species.
This is the closest I have to a dog right now. Nena lives with my gf, who spends weekends with me. She loves two-wheelers and has done several rides (with sniff & pee stops) over 50 miles with me. We spent several hundred dollars and waited several months, and her DNA came back: 55% shih-tzu, chihuahua, poodle (poodles are like Irishmen; they breed well with everything), maltese, and a pinch o cocker spaniel. Her hair grows out white when it's long, but turns back to blotchy black & brown when we shave her. Camouflaged like an arctic fox and she usually only has one ear up.
This is Turbo who passed about a year ago, far too young, due to his indifferent owner. The Batman logo on his chest is naturally-occurring! At first we thought some young groomer was having a larf, but when we took Turbo to a different groomer a few months later, the Batman log appeared again. And then again a month later at a different groomer.
I went to the dog park tonight for a fix, but I look like a pervert in a trenchcoat on a playground, showing up without a dog of my own. Life sucks without a dog.

10 yo Golden and almost 2 yo Great Pyrenees mix. Our 3rd Pyr - for some reason we forgot about how much hair they leave around the place.

Winner
My dog Winner. This is how she greets me in the morning when I get home from my school bus route. I adopted her from a rescue shelter 4 years ago today, 2/14/15. She is, by far, the most laid back dog I have ever had. She loves people and other dogs. I do not know her age exactly, but somewhere in the 10 to 12 area. Favorite things: treats, rides, belly and butt scrathes, naps.
The lucky "Winner"!

Walking with Isaac this morning in the rain, and we met a new neighbor with a blind Labrador. Her eyes were clouded over like with cataracts or something even though she looked young. I was surprised at how well she was able to walk on lead and greet us.
