I got the new dog this past week. I got him at the potter shelter in middletown. If anyone here is looking for a dog or cat i suggest you go here. The people there are great, very nice shelter. They have trainers that work with the dog before adoption, and also offer free obedience classes for the dogs life. Great deal. The dog i got is a 5 year old mixed sheperd, his name is shep. Hes a great dog, very well behaved, no behavior problems either. Hes just skin and bones though, gotta put him on my 10lb squirrel diet.

shep looked like a keeper to me.. When I was young my folks adopted a beagel/dobermin mix puppy (strange combo!) that dog was the best friend I ever had:(

:bc: youz guys are killin me
why u put sad face Eben...he run away?
I had a beagle that ran away:bc:

My best friend back in the day had the chillest beagle named lucky. Yep he got smeared accross west main road.:eek5: My parents got a fat beagle too.

What the heck does a beagle/doberman look like anyway? Any pix?

Good luck with the dog Chef. We should start a thread of our dog pics.

We just adopted a dog..Golden retriever named Brady...Yup after Tom Brady..Q-B for the Pats...Seems like a very good dog...He is really growing on me,,:D

Did they have any puppies?

My new dog has blood in his stool. Anyone know a really good vet who might throw me a deal?

Vets never throw you a deal, they're like dentists.
That's why this stupid cat who won't leave me alone right now hasn't been to the vet in two years...Supposedly the ex-wife should've had her five months ago.
Stoppit Kitty!!!
Why do I get the feeling that she'll be mine forever??!!!:smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:
Mad Rick
PS- I'd love to get a dog, but as long as I've got this stupid feline, my hands are tied.
Later,

where dogs have swallowed whole steak knives because they smelled like meat and still have them in their stomachs irritating the heck out of them. Also i saw a dog that had been hit by a car and looked perfectly normal except it was skinny as hell. As it turned out the impact of colliding with car knocked all its inards up past its diaphram where they are NOT supposed to be and made it impossible for it to eat anymore. Post operation the dog is now FAT and real healthy. So my point is consider the bizarre and unusual when doing a diagnosis.

Chef.. WMain Rd... where did you grow up, Middletown, Portsmouth...?

I grew up in portsmouth. Huge largemouths , right down from where the dog got smeared

I grew up from mccorrie point. No one on this site is a practicing vet?

yep beagl/dobermin..... the sweetest little thing in the world. imagine a nice little beagle body but with black fur and golden eyebrows and chest. as she got older she started loosing her hearing and walked out in front of a car on 3rd street in newport. Her name was Nelly. She never barked, jumped on people, just wagged her tail and would nudge her nose into your ankles. WHen we would go out to cuttyhunk she would chase dear all day and roll in dead seagulls...

Chef the vet on route 1 between the firetower and the new movie theater is great ... This is comming from someone who has been there for the past 3 days dealing with a dying cat.. double:(

Cool, graduate PHS? I was MHS '97...
An older fellow I works with lives off Mccorrie lane...

Ya gradamatated in "97 from portsmouth. i hated that damn town,, police there are gastapos! Nothing better to do then ticket speeders and harrass minors. My good friend had a senior skip day kegger, and the cops got wind of it. My friend had to go to the aci on weekend for like 6 months. The cops brought a school bus and loaded all the kids up and took them to the police station garage until their parents came.

eben thats too bad pussies are great pets !

I have a cat that I got 4 years ago from the Brewster MSPC and he is great!! Mr. Biggles is the name!!
They to have a great shealter!! The cat came nutered, micro chiped, wormed and all shots with a free Rabies shot, and free AKC reg incase he ever gets lost they can scan him and no who he belongs to.

He loves his daddy to!!

stop it:bc:

I've had goldens for 30 years - here's an old Kodachrome of the boys at Third Beach, circa 1991 I think.

Muff (Lochan Ora English Muffin - hey, I didn't name him, he was a gift from my dad) is the happy old guy who lived to be 17 - the Little Big Man of goldens. Dewey (Newport's Admiral Dewey) is the 5 or 6 month old, who only lived to be only 9 years, lost him to an aneurism after surgery. He was pretty special but I gotta tell ya, they all were.

I adopt 3 dogs this fall.

A little "Pembroke Welsh Corgi"
A medium little mutt
A huge Saint Bernard

All 3 were rescues. The little mutt from the "Boston Animal Rescue League in Boston. The other 2 I got through A2Z rescue on the web - they are based off the cape.


I will attach all 3 - here is my pride and Joy - Sampson

the insane little female mutt - annie

and my little boy - TANK

Sorry if I over did it...I just love my dogs

Adoption is definetly the way to go. I found a good vet out in portsmouth, taking him there today. I hope its nothing major, as im beroke as h-ll!

Say hello to Jezz-a-bel !!

Crafty,
Beautiful pic of those dogs.
We had the anti-Irish Setter growing up. She was fat, lazy, and never barked. Oppisite of their normal over hyper bread.
The woman and I have already decided on a golden, just gotta find a place to live that lets us have pets.

I wannakeeper......3 dogs!!!!! Man, that's a handful.

all pet owners

have you ever thought about what your pet was licking before it licked your face ?

and the cat - VINNY

Dog doesnt lick my face.:yak4: :yak4: :yak6:

I bought a couple of American Stafforshires from a guy down in South Carolina last year.They are the strangest personalitied dogs I have ever had.Not visious just completly different from each other.One had blood in his stool and it was from worms.one had to be de-wormed three times and one four.also got puppy mites from there systems being weak from worms so wound up spending about 2 grand on vet bills.Now both healthy and love to eat.In fact they are almost done eating the back porch off the house.
