Here are some photos of Billy.

Born December 2004. Billy is a rescue dog I have owned since March 2007.

Yeah, his teeth are big and white! My Lab Hershey chews on the oddest of things such as rocks, tree bark, my arm, the wifes reading glasses, power lines/cords, small children,(just kiddin bout the last one) :mrgreen: We have doggie toys strewn all over the house but with 4 dogs in the home you can imagine the antics. Thanks for posting Dave Billy is cool. :thumbsup: I like the bathtub pic, since he's a trained rescue Dog I assume he loves water?

Nah he avoids water and baths like a 10 year old boy. :lol: He is not interested in swiming and even avoids puddles.

They don't train them at the Dog and Cat shelter. They just keep them in a cell until someone takes one home after a $160 "donation".

Sad isnt it? :( Hershey hates being dry. We used to have a pool,(the cheap above ground), but have since removed it. Hershey would not get out of the thing. It was a struggle keeping him out, and we thought he might drown so we sold it.

Nice look best friend's you guy's have there. Dave, your dog looks very distinguished. Must be his British upbringing.

Here's a couple of my pet's. They are hanging out next to the water trough I have for the wildlife. I feed them regularly with plants in the yard, along with the long lost vegetable garden.:lol: (Coincidentally, I took this picture about 15 minutes prior to reading this topic. :shock:)

Seriously though, I know how many pet owners can be about their animals. My best friend has a boarder collie mix he takes everywhere including the job site.

I have cat's to help keep the mice and rattlesnakes out of the garage. My daughter really wants a dog but mom will not allow anything in the house except a goldfish. It's just too hot in the summer, and cold in the winter to leave one outside.

Hey! Post photos of your OWN pets in your OWN thread!

That is why I created a new section for them.

Billy don't want to share a bed with your pooches. :lol:

cool guys nice dogs unfortunately i havent been able to have a dog in a long time the last dog i had my dad confiscated as he was an awesome sheep dog & he had good use for him but now i spend way to much time working to have a dog so we just have cats they amuse themselves when we are not around the best 1 weve got was a kitten born with a dicky leg so we couldnt find a home for him & kept him even though we didnt want another cat but now hes such a good friend i'd hate to be without him ill try to post a pic later
cheers ian

Here's Ryley. He doesn't know that he's a dog. With his grunt's and grone's, he's just as bad as my teenage girl's at talking back. :roll:

Feeling guilty about posting photos of Lizzie on here tonight with Billy downstairs watching "The X-Factor" on TV with Diana so I just took some quick shots of him so he doesn't feel jealous. :D

He is so easily trained you know?

I tought him to write in English in only a few weeks. But getting to use a keyboard has been a nightmare. He has to use his tongue just to press one key at a time and it makes a hell of a mess so the keys keep ssssssssssticking.

See?

Can´t you play this song for him? High volume and a lot of bass is recommended. :D

Birthday by the Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Nz9B1X ... re=related

I have always liked that song. :)
