I had a Collie and Border Collie mix prior, but my Border Collie Sisters are something else. So physically gifted and they do everything on a knifes edge. A very focused breed.I love Border Collies. I had one for 14 years.
Agree, the first Great Dane was about 7.5 years when she left me and the kids. Got us a mini schnauzer and 5 years later, a GI got transferred from his home station and asked me if I wanted the Great dane I have now. Couldn't say no lol. She was 3 months oldMy brother Subvet lost his Boston a few days ago. I've been through it too many times and it's tough but my wife and I just can't live without a dog or two and even 3 not long ago.
We had a Great Dane. Wonderful dog but 7-8 years is too soon or we would have stayed with that great breed. Bostons are our choice now.
They are such wonderful dogs. Truly gentle giants. I'll have to post a pic of Cal which is on my other computer.Agree, the first Great Dane was about 7.5 years when she left me and the kids.

Hi Rob,Unfortunately, that is the price we pay for allowing these marvelous creatures into our lives. Had to go thru it 3 times now - it never gets any easier, but I hope I never have a house without a dog for too long.
That's awesome! They truly are a gifted breed in many ways! Are your's littermates?I had a Collie and Border Collie mix prior, but my Border Collie Sisters are something else. So physically gifted and they do everything on a knifes edge. A very focused breed.
I see why they make such good farm dogs. I do miss my other dogs. Collie was 12 years old and I had Jack my mix for 16 years and we think he might have been two when he came to us with a dislocated rear leg.
Yeah, that time may come, but I'm hoping we could give the dog to one of our kids in that case. Hopefully I won't have to worry about any of that for quite a few years yet....Hi Rob,
I understand where you are with dogs. There comes a time when you might change your mind similar to what Margie and I had to do. We discussed getting another dog, but at our age and family history, it is likely a young pup would out live us and the trauma on the dog that their masters are gone is in our opinion not fair to the dog. We have an animal shelter here in Green Valley, filled with dogs that have lost their master(s)...It is heart breaking to visit this shelter for us...so we have decided not to get another dog. Our tortoise is a different as they are vary adaptable to new custodians and we have arrangements in our Living Trust to place Tito in the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson..they have wonderful display of tortoise and Tito will be placed into this arena and eventually adopted by another custodian

Yes Sisters.That's awesome! They truly are a gifted breed in many ways! Are your's littermates?
Thanks for the sentiment Phil.. Losing a long term companion was and is tough. We still have a puggle and my cat Kracker. I am a cat person as well. It will be a while until we get another Boston Terrier.I am so sorry to hear of Tom's loss..it is so hard. I feel the same way about my Tortoise, Tito, now...different animal but the sense of loss...We become so attached to these wonderful creatures, be the dogs, cats or others.
Having a animal in your life is very rewarding....

This is true, I had one for 17 years and she was more dog than cat.No dogs here! 5 Maine Coons. Just a dog in cat's clothing!
I have a 90 pound Golden retriever (number 6). I have always had leather in all of my trucks and my dogs have always been allowed in the truck with no damage, keep their nails trimmed. I always let my dogs in, friends sometimes are another question. If you are worried use one of the dog hammocks they sellAnyone got a dog? Do you let it in your truck yet? With leather seats I’m worried they’ll get trashed.
