my beloved dog died last thu. of cancer. it's amazing he even made it that long since he consisted of pretty much only cancer tissue in the end.
i miss him soo much, he's been my best friend and my little brother for more than half my life.

so take this advice from me, even though it sounds obvious: spend as much time w/ your dogs as possible, or even more, you'll regret every minute you left your dog alone later on. i know what i'm talking about.

other than that, i don't have too much to contribute. except that even little dogs (if they're hunting dogs) can be good athletes, only in deep snow it's can be a problem. whatever you get, make sure it's a dog that loves to run.
(this has probably been said already, but i just couldn't read thru the whole thread).

here's a good argument for an athletic dog: the more athletic the dog, the more time you'll be able to spend w/ it. and if you do, the dog will pay you back big time.

We got Sam from a rescue a couple months ago. She is awesome.

Well, if we're playing the "cute puppy" card, I'll ante up:



And for snow pics (none while skiing, sorry!)

TBerg - how do those booties work on your pup when your biking? I've tried to take Sophie on a couple fairly mellow rides and always with bad results. Her pads are just way too sensitive. Would love to here your experiences.

Oh, and dogs rule.... (but apparently I suck at the internet. can't see the photo, can ya? Well, if not, just picture a really cool dog name Sophie).

WSD - We've gone through a few pairs of booties with Abby. They've all worked well at protecting her pads, but they're very hard to keep on. Currently using some from Ruff Wear that seem to stay on better then others. Stay away from the ones made by Granite Gear, they disintegrate the first time they touch dirt or rocks. I've also read that using booties on dogs can cause overheating quicker, not sure if it's true , but something to watch out for. I've also found that she really only needs them on her front paws, which gives me a backup pair in case she looses one along the way. Let me know if you have any other questions.
