Cool Pup.I tell you what's funny. My Schnauzer can be almost asleep on the couch, if I get up out of my chair he doesn't move,, but if I get up and lay down on the floor he jumps down and puts his nose all in my face than lays down with his paws on my chest like something is wrong. He doesn't like it all all. Fker won't move. I can't even do a setup.
That SOB is fast. He has caught several squirrels and when he does he shakes the holy **** out of them. I've seen him jump at least 6ft trying to get to them running up the fence. And he doesn't play well with other dogs at all. My son found that out very quickly. I fking warned him but he didn't listen. Now he knows not to bring his dog for a visit.

Let us ask JobBNever did understand why dogs thought that smelling an *** was a good idea.
I know a lot of the Old dogs here that would run up behind a beautiful gal and start sniffing if they ran around in no clothes all day.
Cute pup weedhopper.
My BB is a butt sniffer. She even likes to smell the air from people and or dogs walking on the other side of the street on our walks quickly wanting to switch street sides when they pass us. She greets everyone that comes in my house with a quick butt sniff when they are not looking. I can’t seem to do anything about it. After the quick sniff she takes a nap
I agree. I settled on a S&W stainless 640 in .357 for my pocket carry piece, after experimenting with autos. I gave my daughter my S&W 649 which has a hammer shroud and daughter in-law the 640 hammerless.
Alas my wife is not interested in firearms and would be unlikely to use one if she had it. I despair what she will do when she outlives me, as the odds suggest she will coming from a long lived Swedish blood line and my mongrel blood lines not so much.
Ok now this brings a question to my mind, Say one had 2 of the same S&W Chief 5 shot Revolvers and both have hammers. Can one of the hammers be cut off so that no thumb pull remained or does it effect the strike pressure of the firing pin.
Anyone know
I think the butt sniff thing has a lot to do with dog's anal scent glands and all of our pups exceptionally attuned to sound and smell.
They also have other senses that have yet to be identified and named, but I once got into a tub of hot water that was right on the edge of being too hot and stood there silently holding my breath and gritting my teeth to see if I could adapt to it, when my GS female came to see what was wrong with me.
When we had to put down Cisco, our 8 year old male GS with prostate cancer, he was lying down, but suddenly raised his head when the drugs hit his heart and it stopped beating with a startled look on his face. At that exact instant, the dog next door and the dog two doors down the other way both exploded in a barrage of rapid barks, like something startled them too.
Cisco's girlfriend was a Golden Retriever, and when we got within a block of her house, even though we were half a block from the corner and half a block down the block, she would start barking.
Lola and Coco were best friends and both he and Coquina would both start barking when Lola was about a block and second house from the corner. Too far away for smell and ostensibly not enough noise for sound.
I’m so sorry about your Cisco. We had to put our Penny down after 14 years cancer also. I miss her so much as she was a much needier dog than BB and stayed at my feet every moment to be with me. Sometimes I have to look for BB who likes to sleep a lot a usually finds the quiet spot to do so.
Not for sure, but my guess is that without the spur it would still have enough strike force to reliably ignite a primer. You could increase the spring rate if it did not.
I just found a good video on it and it can be done just by grinding the hammer spur off , Make it a nice pocket gun , may as well carry all the time now.
Thk You
Tail doing double time........................................! She looks like a sweet pup! Our females have all been fascinated with toys. Miss Layla has one with her now and others scattered throughout the house.
Alas, cancer is the German Shepherd breeds bete noire. Bodhi also died of prostate cancer at about 8, and Lola of heart cancer at 8.5. Brandy died of cancer, but was 13 and Heidi made it to 13, but spent the last two years in a wheelchair due to spondylosis.
Whoever first said that dogs don't live long enough was spot on................................................
My last Schnauzer died from throat cancer although he was 14.
After doing a lot of research I now believe it's the pesticides for flea control and ****** dog food.
My Schnauzer that I have now has never had any pesticides used on him. All natural flea control. His food comes from Fromm's which is made fresh and with all natural products. Not cheap but nothing is that is worth a ****.

Good morning, Misfits. 22 sweltering (yeah) degrees and windy as the dickens out there. Think I'ma gonna hold this bed down and watch the **** tube 'til cage cleaning time.
Before they pulled my CPL, I carried a KelTec P380. Double action only automatic, no safety. Not worth a damn for long range shooting, but as a belly gun, it's hard to beat.
One of my favorite pistols as far as capability goes, is a Daewoo DH40. The trigger pull is amazing.

I would say go for it!
I've come to believe you are right. Especially when you consider what we fed our dogs fifty years ago, but without systemic insect repellents, I wonder if the systemic insect repellents are not the major player.
We cooked whole chickens for Lola rather than canned food, but also fed her premium kibble. She was on the Advantage flea plan and did get chicken jerky treats that was made in China. China was since indicted for carcinogens in its pet foods, so that may have also played a part.
Have you noticed how many pet foods have chicken biproducts as their first ingredient?

some dogs just have great lives, my dutch is certainly one of them...he's gonna hit 10 in 3 weeks, doing great and is currently out front watching his domain...gray, the reason dogs live a shorter life is that God knew we could exist without the dog but he'd perish without the human...seeing it that way takes the edge off...
