There’s been a plethora of kitten pictures lately. I love cats and try to be an equal-opportunity Fan of Fuzzy Things, but at heart, I’m really a dog person. So, since my parents just emailed me a few pics of the NinjaPooch, I’ve decided to share, and try to even up the cat v. dog gap that’s developing here. So, I proudly present the NinjaPooch. She’s getting up there in years, but is still a puppy at heart. Anything other than blatent praise of her glorious cuteness will cause me to totally flip out and kill everyone, as all ninjas do on occasion. Exhibit one: [Huh? You talkin’ to me?](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b118/EcoSquid/Tamar2005_0831.jpg) Exhibit two: [The obligatory close-up glamour shot.](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b118/EcoSquid/Tamar2005_0825.jpg) Exhibit three: [In which the Fearsome Beast contemplates licking a photo of her faithful-even-in-absence master.](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b118/EcoSquid/Tamar2005_0830.jpg) Exhibit four: [The bloodless aftermath](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b118/EcoSquid/Tamar2005_0829.jpg) C’mon, dog folks. Share the love. ---

Kikmik is my 6 year old, 96 pound MacKenzie River Husky, who I love to death. She doesn’t care much for summer, and spends most of the day on the bed in front of the air conditioner. But in the winter, she is in her element, pulling me on X-country skis, or lounging on the biggest pile of snow in the yard, and snurfling under drifts for any critters, real or imaginary.

I took [Scooter](http://homepage.mac.com/comfychair/PhotoAlbum2.html) in during tropical storm Francis in '98, when he was maybe 6~8 months old. He used to be quite a handful, but as you can see, he’s mellowed out quite a bit now. ---

I am so sorry for your loss of Lucy. I didn’t know there were any other Gordies here at the Dope. She had a sweet face… but what Gordie doesn’t?? I just lost my Fancy Girl in July at the age 10 to cancer , and Corey , the regal-looking gentleman in the last pic was 14 and a half when we had to say good-bye.

[Billy, the Stupid Stinky Ugly Puppy That Nobody Loves](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&start=150&pic=petsB162.JPG&picindex=161). Well, ok…he’s loved. It’s just fun to call him that. ---

I’ve had mucho experience with the peculiar charm of Springers - we had a beautiful liver-and-white one, like yours, for nearly 14 years. He was a total gentleman. Now we have a black-and-white ESS. He’s nearly two and as one of neighbours recently said, “He’s got a lot of personality that dog.” 😃 ---

Gahhhh! Stop it all of you! I jest. But to be honest I miss having dogs about a lot. When I was growing up we always had dogs about the place, the most was three Saluki’s at once ([these](http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/saluki.htm) lovely things if you haven’t seen them before). Walking three of those at once was quite the handful! So in all the years since I’ve lived away from home I’ve not had a dog around (okay…quite a few of those were student years which would make it impossible). At the moment I live in an apartment and work a lot so it’s not going to happen for quite some time…roll on having a house with a garden (aka, ‘racetrack’ to Saluki’s) and being able to work at home! grey\_ideas _there are some truly lovely dogs in this thread 🙂_ ---

_Sigh_ If I ever settle down and quit traveling so much for work the first thing I wanna do is get me another dog. I look at all these adoreable critters y’all are showin’ and I want me a baby too! _Sigh_ ---

Here’s my best friend in the world, Padraic. When we brought him home from the pound, he was only 14 lbs. and [cute as can be](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Arjuna_82/Puppy01.jpg). Now he’s 105 lbs. and [the most handsome dog in the world](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Arjuna_82/IMGP1973.jpg). We’re not sure of his breed. Possibly a Mastiff, Great Dane, Pit Bull mix, with some bison thrown in. BTW, we got him on St. Patrick’s day, hence the name and [this great picture](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Arjuna_82/Shamrocks1.jpg). ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > They do, yeah. I remember my mother saying that was one of the breeds she’d always wanted, and I’ll have to think about them when I get dogs of my own. They’re great, but it’d be weird to compare one to Lucy so directly. You never really compare one dog to the next . Even tho they are the same breed, they each have their own individual personality. I am on my 6th Gordie , I have had at least 1 since 1982 (I first typo’ed 1082 , but I’m not that damned old 😉 ) . My Gordon-ogrophy reads: 1982- got Holly 1986-bred Holly , kept Abbie 1989-got Corey 1992-Holly died ☹ 1994- got Fancy 1998- Abbie died ☹ 2003- Corey died ☹ 2004- got Kharma (AKA Wild Child) 2005 - Fancy Died ☹ 2005- got Nick By getting another Gordie , you would be telling Lucy that she made such an impact on your heart that you just can’t live without a Gordie in your life. If Lucy was a typical Gordon , she would want it that way. ---
