Scott NC Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 That's some pretty chic protective gear. I think my old swamp dog is due for an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TastefullyPeenedIronWorks Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Rex Specs and Mutt Muffs! Gotta keep all the employees up to date on PPE. Those pup peepers are pretty sweet tho, looks like a little Corsair pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 WWI Flying Ace Doggles, too cool! We bought doggles for one of ours, she was constantly running through brush, sticks, thorns, etc. at full speed and we were concerned for her little bug eyed vision. Unfortunately she refused to wear doggles though she loved Halloween costumes. If I rode a motorcycle my dog would have aviator doggles, helmet and maybe even leathers. Frosty The Lucky.

TastefullyPeenedIronWorks Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Frosty! Yes! Their safety is often overlooked, I think. (Someone will correct me if I’m wrong). I have often thought of cutting my pooch a leather jacket for the shop. He is 4 now and I have been thinking a lot and trying to figure out when the transition happened of looking at my dog as an investment to now seeing him as a valued and treasured friend. I grew up with dogs but never personally owned one (my wife might disagree with who owns who). I am thankful for my furry friend. P.S. petting your dog is great therapy in between heats, for you and them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Our current dogs don't spend time in the shop if I turn anything but lights on and I've never let one around if I'm arc welding. I've had dogs, cats, horses for a while and occasionally exotic pets. Mother didn't object to lizards but put her foot down HARD regarding an ant farm. Fish never lasted long, turtles did though. The consistent ones are dogs, I only went a short time without a dog when I was an exploration driller and spent better than 75% of my time in the field. Couldn't take a dog and I couldn't leave one alone or have friends sit, it just wouldn't be right for a dog. Right now we have a pair of dachshunds, just barely qualifying as standards at 15lbs. Baxter's 12 and mostly retired from dog sports though he still loves "K-9 Nose Work" he's no longer a serious competitor. He hangs with me pretty constantly. Nothing beats a dog to pick you up when you're feeling down and vis versa. I pity folks who don't or can't share their lives with a dog. Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Depends on the dog, I think Baxter wouldn't ride but Ronnie would love to ride with her head sticking out of my jacket. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Now all I can picture is the butler from the Disney aristocats movie, with his motor bike an side car and those hound dogs after him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I don't believe I've ever watched the movie. Sometimes the isolation is crushing. <sniff> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 1970? I was 18yro occasional surfer driving a 62 Vette and taking care of a short string of horses. I didn't date anybody who wanted to go see the "Aristocats. I suppose I can find it on Youtube or similar. OR you could PM the image of butler, sidecar and chasing dog pack. Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'll let you know Scott, just as soon as Billy sends the link. I'm watching "Tremors" o the SyFy channel right now and not doing any searching for little kid movies. I mean, seriously, blood gore, monsters, guns, explosions, crazy funny weirdness. What more could a boy want? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The channel is the Disney channel yall! good grief sometimes I worry about y’all! it won’t kill ya to watch a Disney movie once in awhile! it Might even teach ya something! ive got a toddler in the house I’d like to keep him believing in Santa an the tooth fairy for a few more days before he learns how icky poo poo the real world is… that all will come soon enough… I don’t mind watching those “kid” movies with him while he’s still interested, besides they got a catchy song in that movie! “Everybody wants to be a Cat!” Lol quit yer caterwauling an just watch the movie!

Frosty Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I'm not subscribing to the Disney channel to watch one movie. Maybe if I'm visiting someone with little kids. I've always enjoyed watching kids shows with kids and reading to them. I knew my neighbor's kids since before they were born, I worked with their Dad and subbed when he decided being a drunken logger was more important than his children. Anyway, that's about as close as I've come to raising kids, reinforcing and helping their single Mother. I'm with you on letting the kiddo be a kiddo as long as it lasts, the real world is for later. Just not so late Max is headed for college, okay? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 She won't tolerate bad pictures of her. I suppose she will get over it in a week or so. She is one of a kind. I have a really good picture of her on halloween but better not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Somewhere Deb has pics of our dogs on Halloween, happily they don't mind dressing in costume. I still think we have the reindeer, Christmas party costume. It was always popular if not so much with the dogs. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 My sister loves all our dogs and actually throws them a little birthday party, though they are rescues and nobody knows how old they actually are or their birthdays no less. These glasses flew out of a pinata at Gina's. She's a good sport when it's family but I may pay for posting this photo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 You might want to limit her internet time until this pic isn't so current. Hmmm? Deb celebrates our critter's birthdays, Christmas, etc. family is family. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
