Here's a picture of my 10 year old pup, Susie. She's lab/shepard mix, gotta love that pink nose

.

YIKES thats big, let me try to resize it....

thats a little better LOL

She is a beauty

she's cute

oh! Now this is the sweetiest face Ive seen in a long time....

Hey! I suggest using Susie as your avator! Too cute - MUST show her off!

See, this little cocked head thing with those innocent eyes is why my dogs are spoiled rotten. She's a little pink-nosed angel (she needs pink toe nails.)

As my dog gets older and older, I find myself drawn more and more to old dogs. Yeah, I know, weird. Driving my son to his girlfriend's house, we passed a couple that was out walking their very old setter. (not as old as my Astro though) I got misty eyed, and made my son laugh.

She is adorable, and that is a great photograph. Great colors that all work well together. I just LOVE pictures! Cindy

Awww, so cute!

Thank you !!

She really is my pride and joy, other than my daugher of course

Paula good idea about the avitar! just looking at the one I have now makes me more nervous roflmfao !!

Cindy, she has lovely colors, except when I'm wearing black

DeLarla she is the biggest whimp when it comes to me touching her paws. When I cut her nails, I almost have to sit on her LOL, poor thing (some times she pee's on herself lol). I can't imagine painting them although I have though about it before.

Vines, Astro is a great name for a dog. I love old dogs too but puppies just melt my heart. I sware if I didn't have to work, I would have 10 dogs (and probably no husband LOL).

Thanks for posting that sweet photo! After just losing my boy it makes me happy that I can look at sweet photos like Susie's & still smile w/joy! I just want to give her a big bear hug!

Christina, sorry you lost your pup. Its never easy because they are more than just a pet, they become family members. My Susie goes for a 1 - 2 mile walk every morning with DH, then she comes home, has Breakfast and is really treated like one of us. I mean if we go out for ice cream guess who's in the car getting her very own cone lol.

Have you thought about getting a new friend?

Its too soon to have a new furry friend for me- I will be doing too much travel coming up & need to secure a new job before I settle down again with a new friend. Next time I hope to get two boxers at the same time or at least within 6 months of eachother. We have doggie icecream treats at our local icecream stores also, they place dog biscuts around the icecream like a sundae. Some even take photos & place them up all summer long- too much fun!

Aww I just read your post, its really heart breaking losing a friend and I don't blame you for waiting, I would too.

HUGS !!!
