Lobo was a rattie. They are usually more chunky than foxies, although typically have the same tri-color. Our guy was unusual being all tan.

He was a tough little tank too (1991-2009).

Great story man -- you made out. I can see her great strength of character. The boyfriend didn't deserve her.

Since it's Christmas time. Here is Goofy the reindog. I thought he would trip out when I put the antlers on; but he just took his treat. I had to chase him around to get them back. He's a boxer/pit mix that adopted us in June 08.

Hey Blackscot, nice looking pup lobo, very sorry about the loss. Can't say I've ever seen a rattie.

Auggie is all legs and runs like a greyhound.. seems just about that fast too. Fiesty... My son was walking her in his old neighborhood and a pit bull came after Auggie. He picked her up over his head and the pit bull bit him a few times trying to get to her. All she wanted to do was to be let down so she could take care of that pit .. She has this angry bark that I've heard a few times.. It's hilarious sounds like a dog having a tourette attack, just cursing profusely. That was one of those moments, I'm sure it didn't help the situation. What is with these pups, size doesn't matter.. My son healed up ok, the cops showed up and put the pit bull down.

Thanks, that was taken with my Sony Cyber-Shot point-and-shoot (12.8 megapixel)

This one was taken with my Canon XT Rebel (SLR) 8 megapixel using my new 2.8 17-50mm Tamron lens and a Canon speedlite 420EX bouncing the flash off the wall/ceiling.

Yes they are very similar. Great guard dogs (like I said she doesnt miss anything), very energetic, and had the herding instinct. Roxy will grab your pant leg and hold on as you walk around. Loves to be outdoors, and she is very smart for a small dog.

This is Charli. We rescued her at 5 Mos. Now she's 3. An awesome dog, she's gotten pretty protective. Sounds the alarm when anyone gets near the property, but she's really sensitive with us. And way smart to boot. Took to training very well too.

Nice GSD from one GSD owner to another!

Speaking from experience, socialize the heck out of her. Otherwise she will probably end up biting someone.

.......a pit bull came after Auggie.

Thanks for the condolences. It's been nearly 3 months and I'm still broken up over it.

Also really sorry to hear of the pit bull attack. I've had one or two close calls myself with loose, out-of-control dogs (although not pits). One time got within a second or two of resorting to deadly force. The owner finally managed to excercise restraint just in time.

This thread is helping a lot though.
