Dude...You're fugly :tongue: but your dog is beautiful.

She looks like she will be a great friend and companion.

I've never gotten anywhere in life on my looks. But, as Red Green says, "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." I get no complaints.

:-)

She's sound asleep on the floor; she earned the rest. I had back-to-back appointments at work, so she worked all day. We threw the ball out on the lawn at breaks and lunchtime. We went to the Commissary after work, and she got a lot of attention. There had to be 20 carts in line for the checkout, and Velvet was perfectly behaved as we waited in line.

After work today, we met friends at Godfrey's Gun Shop and Indoor Range in Junction City. Velvet met Godfrey, a stuffed black bear on display in the front of the shop.

Velvet was initially curious, but after she got a sniff of Godfrey, she ducked and ran!


Godfrey is wearing a woman's tank top that says "This Chick is Packing!"

DOG TOYS

Velvet loves dog toys. Loves to destroy them, that is.

In one month she eviscerated two sock monkeys (after pulling off their ears); ripped open a tubular fetch toy; tore the hide off a heavy-duty tennis ball toy; and chewed the squeaker out of a squeaky bone.

Today I bought Dogzilla, a "heavy duty" toy. The package really played up Dogzilla as the best toy for destructo-dogs, so I lay down my nine bucks and brought it home.

It lasted nine minutes. A dollar a minute.





Dogzilla. Pfffft.

But the destruction of Dogzilla was offset by our other dog toy adventure. A woman I work with, who is an avowed compulsive shopper, brought a bag of dog toys and treats for Velvet. She bought the toys for her own dog, but it wisely refused to feed her compulsion by playing with the toys.

This thing was in the bag of toys:



I pulled it out of the bag, held it upright, looked at it for a minute, waved it around a little, and said, "This doesn't look like a dog toy. Did you mean to give Velvet your Punisher 2000?"

I raised one eyebrow and wiggled the Punisher. She laughed and blushed; I can't say which she did more.

We have had good luck with Hartz Dura Play toys.  Other than that , my wife has made some home made ones using cotton balls and denim from old jeans.  Just put in a few of those little squeaker things and our Beagle likes them.

We take our pup to the pet store and wander about and let her choose what interests her, no sense buying a toy she has no interest in.    Best thing she likes are these beef marrow bones, Vet tells me they keep her teeth clean, down side is I have to cut back on food for a few days as she will gain weight from the marrow.

Another down side is she will sneak them inside and hide them in our bed under the pillows.  If we do not find them she will awaken us by in the middle of the night to retrieve the bone and crunch crunch it driving us nuts.   Price is they are expensive, almost $3.00 a pound.    It may be cheaper to go to local Butcher store and have the meat cutters saw up some bones for us.   

Side note, a Crafty friend asked me to save the cleaned out bones for her.  She covers them with Polymer clay and turns them into candle stick holders.  Some of her work is amazing, after the bone and clay has been baked she takes the lids from canned foods, those removed from the cans with a opener that cuts from the side, glues them to the bottom of the bone and clay and paints everything.   Then she stencils on to the product, or Mod Podges on little pictures she cuts out of old NGO magazines.  She makes good money with these damn chewed up bones. Artists can turn a dirty diaper into something someone somewhere will buy.

I asked her once if she could bronze a good specimen of my dogs poop, she told me she had had stranger requests before.

My Aussie draws and quarters any stuffed toy and rips apart any of those braided tug-of-war ropes in minutes too.  She's ok with the plastic squeaky toys -- her favorite is a large pink donut (looks like the ones Homer eats).

I agree, BD, that pink thing does NOT look like a dog toy!   :lmao:

I have to agree with you, Sue--it looks like something a 20-something single girl, without a date, would use on Valentine's Day, after eating a half-gallon of Chunky Monkey ice cream, and watching a 'chick flick,' to ease the pain of being single . . . :bolt:

Where's Velvets medal, seems as a civilian worker she deserves one too. After all she is on duty 24/7.

BTW, you have not given us enough information on how Velvet does her job.  How and when she alerts you to different situations, is she like a seeing eye dog that will alert you to the sound of a hidden car coming at you ?????   What happens if someone is trying to get in at night when you are asleep, will she alert you to someone coming up behind you ?

Comands do you use both voice and hand signals, such amazing and wonderful gifts from God.  

A bunch of ^^^^^^5's to the remarkable people that train these Velcro dogs.

This is something most of us will never get to experience, fascinating really, sort of like having an guarding angle beside you or a personal slave.
