This is a picture of Whiskey as a growing puppy. He's half Great Pyrenees.
Whiskey is a very friendly dog, but also about the least intelligent dog I have ever had. Every other dog learned to stay away from porcupines within three encounters. Whiskey has had something like 15 or so encounters with porcupines. I told the vet once that we weren't going to have to deal with digging out any more quills because he had denuded every porcupine in the area.
He also encounters skunks a lot. It's not unusual for him to smell strongly of skunk.
Needless to say, he is an outdoors dog.
The rate of such encounters with porcupines and skunks has declined a lot but that is probably because he is getting old and doesn't get around as well as before. I don't think he's gotten any smarter.
Poor guy! He sure is lovely though
Haha, way to go!

Yup she can actually dribble, she flips it forward to make it bounce, chases after it, paws it forward on the second bounce, chases after it and keeps the bounce moving forward in this way. Such a low maintenance dog, she only likes the worn tennis balls because they are fluffy and easier to carry. I think her hyperfocus is a little bit more ADHD, high energy,
and she is a risk taker, another of her 'ball games' is with one of the Rotties. The big dog steals the balls from her basket, and as soon as the Rottie is distracted and leaves her tub, the Shih Tzu jumps into it, eyeballs the Rottie and takes her tennis balls back, this happens a few times every day too.Oh, listen to THIS..... I watched a tribute to David Letterman, last night, and they had a dog on there who dribbled basket balls, and I thought of you / your post, and SMILED, great big!!
Now thats impressive, dribbling a basketball, must of been a big dog.
My other dog is a Lhasa Apso; another ancient breed (closely related to wolves), they were kept by Buddhist monks as watch dogs in their Monasteries, and alerted the large Tibetan Mastiff guard dogs (they guarded the entrance) to any internal danger.
Any way when he was a puppy any paper/tissue he found was ripped up, he preferred this activity above any chew/squeak toys. One day I came home to a shredded 9 pack of toilet roll!! It was like confetti, all over the house, upstairs, downstairs, tissue streamers everywhere. All I could do was burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of it all when I opened the front door.

My sister's and her boyfriend's new pet. According to my sister, it absolutely loves human company and is very friendly. I'm so looking forward to meeting it when I visit my country later this year.

It's beautiful! 
I hope you'll tell us more about it when you've met it.

Thank you for the replies regarding kitty litter. I became rather obsessed with the change. I liked Advance and they discontinued it. I am trying different brands. I felt Scoop Away and Freshstep changed.
I have 3 cats. One is a medium-length hair tabby (Hillary). One is a short-hair tabby (Clare) and the third one is a black short-hair kitty that looks just like a miniature black panther (also like a Halloween cat).
Hillary climbed all over the apartment when I first brought her home so I named her after Sir Edmund Hillary. She is very good-natured. I got Clare at the same time (both from the Humane Society) and she is very sweet. Nola came from the ASPCA in New Orleans. She is very smart and probably part Siamese because of the wedge-shaped head and very long legs.
They are all older kitties I have had for a long time 
I don't have digital pictures of them but they are wonderful kitties.

This is Ricky. I adopted him from the Humane Society on the one year anniversary of my last dog's passing. He is a pitbull just like Missy, my last dog.

^^^^I agree!
I saw and played with a female beagle yesterday as I was walking past her gate. She looks just like this one and they are really beautiful with a lovely nature too:

This article made me cry.

Makes me ashamed of fellow "humans" that this ":experimentation" is allowed to continue in this day and age.
no words except so glad a few have found happiness after their rescue.
