We have a beautie of a Goldie, once I get the hang of posting pics he will be on here. I am trying to convince Mrs C we should get another one to keep Woody company.

Oh Steve! I just wanna give "Mandy" a huge hug! Reminds me alot of my childhood dog named "sompin". My mom had always said, "if we ever get a dog, that'll be sompin" . . .hence his name.

I love this site - makes me smile every time I open it.

These pics are AWESOME.

Jim - I LOVE Sweet Pea!

Econo - I think Sox's head is bigger than little Econo's, 18 pounds??? We have a 6 pound fiesty siamese named "Pif", he will chase a ball if you throw it for him, but he will never bring it back. My daughter has a horse that I will soon post a photo of . Oh and we have 2 gerbils that finally decided to start a family ( they both had careers ). Yesterday she had 3 tiny pink babies.

maggie (left) - she's been gone two years, but was a australian shepherd mix
we got from a dog rescue. her ashes are up on her favorite trail in
New Mexico

lola (right) - still with us, not running much these days; dobbie mix from the
humane society. ALWAYS starts a run with a 800m fast interval, and
when she figures out we're headed back home she goes really really slowly

check out the pool, too, woo!!! I forgot where you're located mcsolar, but it can't be anywhere near Eugene...
I used to run with a doberman when I was a teen -- good protection and a really sweet dog. You all are making me want to get a dog someday (that'll be sompin!). Sox just won't run with me.

Here's a couple more of our furry friends. My wife gave me two kittens for Christmas ( Mongojerrie and Rumpleteaser). They really loved to climb our Christmas tree and bat at the decorations.

You sound like a T.S. Elliot fan SloJim. Or at least like the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.

Yes and yes..... I was wondering if anyone would pickup on their names. They do fit the poem to a T....

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
We're a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

We have an extensive reputation
We make our home in Victoria Grove
That is merely our centre of operation
For we are incurably given to rove

We are very well known in Cornwall Gardens
In Launceston Place and in Kensington Square
We have really a little more reputation
Than a couple of cats can very well bear

If the area window is found ajar
Or the basement looks like a field of war
If a tile or two comes loose on the roof
Which presently fails to be waterproof

If the drawers are pulled out from bedroom chests
And you can't find one of your winter vests
If after supper one of the girls
Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls

The family will say, 'It's that horrible cat!
'Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer?'
And most of the time they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
Have a very unusual gift of the gab
We are highly efficient cat burglars as well
And remarkably smart at the smash and grab

We make our home in Victoria Grove
We have no regular occupation
We are plausible fellows who like to engage
A friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembles for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that they won't get thinner
On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook will appear from behind the scenes

And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow
'I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
'For the joint has gone from the oven like that!'
The family will say, 'It's that horrible cat!
'Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer?'
And most of the time they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
Have a wonderful way of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck
And some of the time you would say it was weather

We go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie? Or Rumpleteazer?
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

And when you hear a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
Or down from the library there comes a loud ring
From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming

Then the family will say: 'Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer!
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!




If they're out of our sight for even a few minutes, no telling what they're going to get into.... here they decided that our last roll of toilet paper would be a fun cat toy!

Wasn't even going to post here until we found that Starr had stolen our pet! His name is Woody, not Sandy and he is a three year old Bichon/Cocker mix. Here he is with some of his many friends.

[img]http://pic2.picturetrail.com/VOL967/3752313/7741991/101904483.jpg[/img]

Also shown is his best friend our 11 year old Cocker/Poodle mix who thinks she is a Fire Dog and who loves to roll and romp in mud.

Good running all.

This pic of Woody - I call it the "E.T." pose. Reminds me of the scene in the movie when E.T. is "hiding" in a closet and the mother opens the door and he is in the middle of stuffed animals....and she does not notice him. Very, very clever!!!

Starr - maybe they are related......Woody had been abandoned on the side of the road...not far from the freeway. He was just a few weeks old - not even old enough to adopt yet. Sad for him, good for us.

Have a good day!
Vicki

Maconmoves pic seems to come and go. After stating yesterday that I could see it, it went away. I just checked again and it is there. I haven't started drinking yet either . . . .

Mary - You are not going crazy,,,,I can see his picture on my PC at work, but not at home. Maybe it depends on the operating system.

Steve - I love your lowland sheepdog. I think she has forgump's hairdo.

Jim & Vicki - Woody and Sandy could be related, but I guess that's not very likely. Too funny to have look-alikes. I am glad you rescued him.

All the pet pics are so cute, what fun to see, the cats haven't made me sneeze once yet, either!

Great photos Brinkerhof! Do you hunt with him too?

Those wood floors are gorgeous too - we just moved from our 100+ year old house that had floors exactly like that. They don't make em' like that anymore.

Our friend has a vizla pup about 1 yo. He is a darling but quite an energetic handful. I bet Paavo would be a good running dog.

We run every day, 5-8 miles. He's a great companion.

No hunting, but he has an excellent nose and he does have his junior hunting title. He's getting close to finishing to be a champ in AKC shows. I don't show him, the breeder does, as it was part of our agreement when I bought him.

In case anyone wonders, "Who put the 'pug' in puglogic?" here he is:

That's Ike, my oddly logical friend, hiking buddy, watchdog, tug-o-war artist and canine agility dog extraordinaire. He can run with me for short distances in the cooler seasons, but mostly he holds down the fort and gives me the grand post-heroic-journey greeting when I get back from my runs. I don't have a pic of his big brother Eddie (white shepherd) but if I find one I'll post it.

puglogic - what an adorable picture!!! I love, love, love pugs! Unfortunately, my husband feels completely opposite so we have a giant yellow lab. I love him, too, but every time he table surfs, I remind my husband that a pug could not reach the table!

Edited to add that I just noticed your other dog is named Eddie. That's my lab's name, too! My son named him after the cartoon Ed, Edd and Eddy. He acts about as goofy as the characters.
