Now you have me thinking...is she a well-loved pet who plays that li’l trick all the time, or is she hiding from danger on the ground, wondering if the owner of the car will greet her with a smile or a broomstick.

I wondered something very similar.

Penny Layne loves the slide at the park.
She won’t slide down yet, but loves to climb up there.

Anybody recognize this breed? Pup or full-grown? (Photo is from a bicycle race last week in Holland during a particularly nasty storm blowing in from the Channel.)

Its could be a Dutch Smoushond, one the the 9 official Dutch breeds.
(Stabijhond, Wetterhond, het Markiesje, Nederlands Kooikerhondje, Hollandse Herder, Saarlooswolfhond, Drentsche Patrijs, Nederlandse Schapendoes en de Hollandse Smoushond.)

I had to google that.

That photo is taken at the Dutch championships head wind cycling. Its about 5 miles cycling on an ordinary bike (everyone use the same type, there are different frame sizes) without gears.
It's a sort of light hearted alternative for serious races.

The Keeshond is also (partially) considered a Dutch breed.

Scan of old photo with 2 (grey or wolfs-)keeshonden barking in the wind.

They are considered Dutch in England (and therefore sometimes in the U.S.), because most of the Keeshonden in the U.K. descend from dogs imported from the Netherlands.
The majority of the Dutch ones were brought in from Germany by hawkers and shippers.
Where they were became sort of a symbol.

Keeshond - Wikipedia

(Note on the article above; since 1952 the Dutch keeshond and German spitz are considered one breed.)

This is the best thread ever. Period.

My thought, viewing the "right by the main road" was "savvy street dog trying to stay safe". I'd love to be wrong.

Senior Dog Is So Happy That People Remembered His Birthday

It was the best surprise ️

This little senior dog named Bailey has seen many birthdays come and go now in his long and happy life. But the passing of time has done little to diminish the joy his family feels at having him around. In fact, it’s only made their love grow stronger.

Last week, Bailey turned 13 years old. But though that date could have easily passed without much mention or any ado, the sweet pup’s family rightly felt that Bailey’s big day was more than worth celebrating.
To mark the occasion, they gathered together to throw Bailey a party — much to the little dog’s surprise and delight.

No birthday party would be complete, of course, without a song dedicated to the day’s honoree. And as you’ll see, Bailey couldn’t have been happier:


Bailey certainly enjoyed the cake and toys he received that day, but to be surrounded by people who love him so dearly was no doubt the greatest gift of all.

For Bailey's family, the adorable gesture that day seemed a way of returning to him an extra portion of the happiness he's given them all his life. The little dog deserves nothing less.

"Happy 13th birthday to our boy BAILEY!" his family wrote. "He brings us so much joy and we love him heaps!"

This is Dusty, six and a half years old, who has been with us since January 23rd and is adopting very well to his new life away from twenty-some dogs on a big ranch. He's a mostly retired champion show dog who has come to live with us. Our dog Chase's father is Dusty's grandfather.

Good to see Otto well.

Good to see Otto well.

Thanks, @Morrighan . He's still healing from the knee rebuild and won't be able to be off-leash for another month, but we're going for longer and longer walks.
He started chemo last week for the cancer. The good news is it's a "2nd generation" chemo drug with much lower side effects. He's generally doing well.

From fb but good to start the day with a dog related smile...

Pretty sure the pup knows his older brothers days are numbered but we’re still trucking for now
