A Jordy sighting in the rankings this week! Number 1 with 173 yds. and 1 TD. And, without Aaron. How can that be? Maybe he can still ball.

So true, CJ. I always consider my dog when making food. There's always some for him, too. It's the least I can do for all the undying love he offers.

Wow, five? I love labs as well. Had one black, this one's a yellow (because my daughter said there was no way we could replace the last one) and I've had a Shepherd/Lab mix.

Glad you decided to adopt another one. I've lost 4 dogs over the last 9 years, and I can't imagine life without one. I'm a Basset Hound guy myself, and I currently have 2: 1 is a Basset/English Pointer mix, and the other is a 3 year old special needs Basset that I adopted from Belly Rubs Basset Rescue in Tennessee.

Re: Jordy sighting
One of my neighbors is out walking his Basset every day. His ears crack me up! Can't imagine losing four dogs in such a short span...just losing my last one almost made me never want a dog again for fear of going through that again. But the love and laughter they bring you makes it all worth it. Good luck with your pups.

Some of you may remember my "Packer Pup" Bud - 140 pound 1/2 Rottweiler from about 15 years ago. Personality plus. He would calmly wear a "Bears Still Suck" cap on his head and a little cheese wedge on his nose. Still miss him. Allie was in between and now we have Maggie. Hubby picked her up from someone near La Crosse about 3 years ago. We didn't know it at the time but she was our "rescue." You can't see the brindling on her very well but it's getting more pronounced (she's about 5-1/2...

All BS aside, if you know anything about English Labs you know they are thick with bone and muscle. Jax's uncle was 115 lbs. His father is 110 lbs and his mother is in the upper 80's. I'll still slit your throat.

Holy cow, he's a big boy! How easy was he with training? Any chewing problems?

You love 'em to death...and they die and break your heart. Lizzie (left) dropped dead of heart failure 2 years ago and I still cry when I think of her....Tyson is on his last legs...could be any week or month now...I'll cry again. I've cried 4 times in 20 years and all 4 times it was over dogs.

87 degrees up here at 9000 feet today, just got back from letting my mini Aussie/Corgi swim/retrieve sticks in the South Platte River. A tired dog is a good dog. Caught some trout too.

Re: Jordy sighting
I hear you. I dislocated and fractured both elbows in a second story fall from a ladder, and dislocated both shoulders in a skiing mishap and both times never shed a tear. When my black lab was in his last week, I got weepy each time I walked him, knowing our time was coming to an end. The last two days before putting him down, I openly cried in front of neighbors who stopped to pet him on our walks. The biggest reason I considered not getting another dog was thinking of the time I would...

Lost our 14-year-old Golden Retriever named Jack when he had a stroke on Thanksgiving Day with the family at our house (I hate that holiday). First time ever I had to take a dog in to put it down. He licked my arm, snuggled up to it and I held him as the drugs took hold. When I came home, my German Shepherd Zeke smelled the shirt and just whimpered. He knew his brother was gone.

Re: Jordy sighting
One more story. Near the end he struggled with arthritis, and one Sunday afternoon he wouldn't get out of his house to go on a walk with Zeke. A couple days later when I got home from school after a long day--about 7 p.m.--he was dancing around near the back door, trying to tell me he was ready for the walk. I was just too wiped from a day of dealing with teens. A month later he was gone.

Re: Jordy sighting
Ouch. When we'd separate our dogs, even for a minute, they'd cry for each other. When Lizzie went into cardiac arrest at the vet, we had Tyson with us (in other room with our daughter) She died on the table. We brought Tyson into the room to see her. He sniffed her. We went home and he knew she was gone. Best thing we ever did was to let him see her after she'd passed. He knew she was gone.

Re: Jordy sighting
Our last mini Aussie was IMO the best dog ever....loved to chase and retrieve. 5 years ago on New Year's Day we took her for a run in the woods. I threw a stick off the trail and she ran pell mell after it, jumped over a log and while coming down she impaled herself on a ponderosa pine stick which was buried in the ground. The impact shoved the stick into her, collapsing her lung. I was perhaps 20 feet away and I could hear the whoosh as the air left her lung. She was a gamer and held on...

Good job Blair. As Jack struggled to stand after the stroke, Zeke was flipping out, and I just couldn't get him into the car to take him with Jack.

Omg.....this is so incredibly sad. Glad to hear you have another from her bloodlines.

Re: Jordy sighting
No chewing problems at all. Training was relatively easy but he listens to me far better than he does the wife. We have an underground fence that he strictly adheres to.... it's funny watching him freak people out though. He loves people and charges towards the sidewalk like a raging bull... only to come to a screeching halt a few inches from the line of death. Most are used to it by now.

If truth be told they are not all gems. We had a border collie who bit the paper boy in his face and a German wire hair pointer that bit our daughter...twice. They had to go away if you know what I mean. Still sad and tough days for sure.

Jesus... losing a dog is the worst thing ever. Such pure souls with endless love and compassion to give. They don't live nearly long enough. I've said it before... I like dogs better than most people.

What about Catts? 😉 sorry, I could not help myself... I have a dog (Maltese) that will soon be old enough to vote. I dread the day he will pass.

Re: Jordy sighting
We miss them so. But just a reminder that there are many dogs out there, sitting in a shelter, that need a loving home and they can't help it if they don't have a pedigree.

It's amazing how attached we get to our dogs. They are the best mates in the world, unconditional love. People are just too unreliable

I'm getting weepy reading these stories, thanks everyone When I was in Korea, I picked up a street dog and adopted her. The army let me take her back to the states when my Korean tour was up. We had her for 14 years and finally had to put her down. I cried as I dug a hole for her when we got back from the vet. Like others, I was hesitant about getting another one, but finally did a year later. Now, we have 3 dogs, including a Shiloh Shepherd whose on her last legs, and I'm dreading the near...

Re: Jordy sighting
My first dog that I had I got in 1998 from the human society. He was a half german shepherd and half border collie and he was by far the smartest dog I have ever been around. We had a tradition for Packers games that he would get a beer before the game (yep I know that is supposed to be bad for dogs but he LOVED it) One morning before work in 2013 I found him at the bottom of my stairs and he couldn't move. The day before I had played my last game of Frisbee catch with him and the next day...

Horses too. I did this when my oldest horse passed. Well, I didn't - hubby did because I was sobbing too hard. He took Ginger over so she knew Count was "gone."

Just got word from a friend that they had to put down their 15 year old beagle. Elmer was almost more human than dog. I'm not kidding. When they would travel up North, Elmer would be sound asleep in the back seat. But as soon as they turned onto U S 10 at Elsworth Elmer would be up bouncing around knowing he was getting fresh cheese curds.

Thanks bud! Things are going well. Here's a picture of the 2 of them: Clara is the Basset/English Pointer(the white one). She lost her left eye when she was a young pup (before I had her), due to her chewing on a live electrical wire. Jesse, (the brown one) I brought home on May 5th from a Tennessee rescue. He's had a rough start to his life: He's been shot (still has some BB's in him), and has some other injury, maybe hit by a car, which dislocated one of his pelvic bones, and it did not...
