Our poor abused black child. Shush, he doesn't know he's a dog. He is my #1 shop aid. Sometime's he's even helpfull...

by **Eddie** » 29 Oct 2007 13:15

Does he love to go for rides? My Lab Hershey goes nuts. I cant even mention "bye bye" or "Hemi" he knows he is going to go. No he's not allowed in the R/T, same as the wife! :s016:

She hates it and would sell all my stuff for a couple hundred bucks! She's also very rough with stuff, like slams doors and breaks set cushions furniture ect.. :mrgreen:

Ryley goe's everywere with me/us. Except in the Challenger. He know's better. :tears:

He get's very happy when he hear's me fire up one of the Ford's, or even the Nisson. He know's he's going cruizin'. That darned dog love's to ride along. I'm just not too crazy with the idea of a 95 LB. dog scuffing up the interior of the Chally. :s021:

Here's one on webbed paw's. I got some great pic's of Ryley crashing through the breaker's on the Oregon coast. He's a nut for that dumb stick, ball, whatever you throw for him. I'll post some of those as soon as I can find them.

by **Eddie** » 31 Oct 2007 18:50

I'm sure he's smiling! :mrgreen:

by **patrick** » 02 Feb 2008 22:37

I let Ryley out last Saturday to do his morning constitutional. He bolted out the door as usual but hit two feet of new snow. He turned around and looked at me like the snow was something I did. :lol:

by **patrick** » 02 Feb 2008 23:09

Damn dog sure love's his stick. He wiped out a couple of surfer's on the Oregon coast. I wish I would have caught that on film. I guess I kind of instigated it though. :roll:

When he see's the ocean, he's in doggie Heaven. He love's all water except for rain. Go figure. :s012:

by **Jon** » 03 Feb 2008 1:25

That's cool Pat. A good friend indeed. You seem like a kid with his dog, lots of fun.

by **Eddie** » 03 Feb 2008 12:53

Cool pics Pat, Hershey hates rain too! He cleans his webbed paws for the longest time, coming back inside after a rain. :thumbsup:

by **dave-r** » 03 Feb 2008 14:22

My last dog Lizzie was just the same. Couldn't keep her out of water and always had a stick. If she had a stick near water she would insist you throw it into the water so she could fetch it.

My current dog Billy is a water (and soap) dodger. :lol:

He cannot understand why other dogs like the stuff. The only water he likes is shallow muddy puddles that he likes to run through fast just to get more dirty and smelly. :roll:

I just had Billy in the shower this morning as his smell was getting a bit rich. :oops:

You should have seen the colour of the water going down the plughole. :s001:

Now he has dried he looks like a fuffy tinkerbell. :mrgreen:

I was a little late on the Pic's. Forgot to post until now. Yes, Jon. And that dumb dog makes me feel like a kid too. I'm glad that we have our furry friend's. And, I feel sorry for those who don't know what its like to have such amazing pet's. They really are special, and great family member's!

Pat, has your Lab Riley ever had any 'seizures'? Mine, Hershey, has em every so often, maybe once every few months! Scared the hell outta me, I thought he was dying the first time it happened,(he's had a total of 6, the vet said he's got an allergy possibly to preservatives in our slop,(processed food). So he gets NO treats anymore, even doggie treats! :frown:

Ryley only get's seizure's when you say the word food, and he feel's that he's not getting it soon enough. :lol:

He's a pretty healthy dog, he eat's everything. We try to keep him on his Purina diet, though.

Good to hear. I feed my dogs Pro-Plan which is processed by purina foods I think. It also tastes pretty good, a little grainy for my tastes but it's got a better flavor than my wifes cooking.(Dont ask me how I know) :biggrin:

Here's a couple of pic's of our snow dog.

He looks like a great big black rabbit when, he's jumping through the snow. :lol:

by **Eddie** » 27 Dec 2008 17:45

by **dave-r** » 27 Dec 2008 18:07

I wish we would get some deep snow. Like really deep. I love it. Dogs love it. But we haven't had any deep snow here for like 15 years or something? :cry:

by **Brant** » 08 Jan 2009 21:38

Awesome dog! I'd like to go get one tonight. We used to have a Dane – miss the beast immensely. :tears:

Love Labs and Golden R's too.

by **patrick** » 09 Jan 2009 7:36

Ryley, is a big stud. Or so, he think's. Love's big snow and busting through it. Love's the the ocean and busting through the great breaker's. He is a big wussy when, it comes to just rain though. He hates getting wet, durring a down pour. :roll:

I get him in the house then, take him into the garage. And before I get him into the Utillity Room, to dry him off, He alway's shake's on the Challenger. :s021:

I know he doe's this, on purpose. :roll:

Love him anyway, Pat

by **patrick** » 09 Dec 2009 5:58

Just cleaning the dog. :lol:

I never had a dog that liked being vaccumed like Ryley doe's. My wife or I will start the vaccume up and, he'll get in front of you and lie down... Strange dog. :roll:

by **dave-r** » 09 Dec 2009 11:06

Brilliant! :lol:

I must show Diana that.

Actually. If I had known you offered that service Pat you could have done me in the hotel room. :oops:

You are a hairy Limey! :lol:

I'll bring the shop vac on our next trip through the Nevada Desert. Ryley will provide good practice until, this grooming occurs. :s024:

Cheers!

by **patrick** » 10 Dec 2009 5:47

Ryley won't sit still for anything. But, when it comes to the vacuum, he stikes the pose. He fetches, he eats like a horse, he sleeps and likes to get vacuumed. He's our only boy though.

And we love him. :s004:

Again, "Strange dog, though". :hmmm:

by **Eddie** » 10 Dec 2009 17:32

We been doing that on Hershey for years. The groomers all use vacums around here. Great story though! Ryley is a cool Lab! :thumbsup:

Yeah Dave is a Hairy Beast of a fellow :s024:
