Meet Opus, the new addition to our family. The little man is about 11 weeks old now and a holy terror.

the ears always look so rough at the beginning of the process but look amazing afterwards, well most of the time anyways

Hi Opus.

Lay down.

Good Boy.

And what is up with the ears?

I think he looked at the Icandi post today and got an EARECTION...

#4, he is a dobbie, so his ears are docked. It's about a 4 week process before they are totally healed.

A great breed -- Dobie.

Prefer black & tan, but that one's a beaut.

Actually, I like all dogs: schnauzers, German retrievers, cockers, Goldens, std. poodles, Weimaraners...you name it.

^Agree, they are a great breed. Growing up we had two Rust so that is what I had in mind but once we got to the breeder we just fell for this little guy.

Um...

nine

!

Yep, Linc brought him up for our annual 4th of July/Birthday party this year. What a great little dog. Definitely brought back memories of our childhood and always having a Dobie around to make us laugh or cause general mayhem and trouble.

He's gonna be a fun little dude, and probably just insured I will be getting one myself...lol

Happy dog....

Some bad news for us.

Our little guy, a dachshund only five YO, has calcified discs in his neck and spine.

Surgery, if recommended by the vet will cost approx. $3500.

Wife is all teary.

I'm realistic.

I'd rather have a new, healthy pup for $600-$800-$1000-$1200 than a reconstructed Doxie who'll always have some degree of pain going forward.

I ain't hijacking this thread, but your pup sure makes me think thrice about surgery.

that look on his face make it seem like maybe fenian did some unapropriate fondling???

LOL

You know, if you had cable TV you wouldn't have to use your dog for a............

Doug, is he a blue?

Pat, he is considered a fawn. There are 4 types, black and rust (which are the more common) and then a blue and a fawn.

Nice looking Doberman.

Charlie

This pick was taken before I ever met him, Todd you ****!

So any strange looks he's given in this pic can be placed firmly on Doug's shoulders...lol

The rug looks like a Tabriz, tell me me size and I will give you a free aparisial!
