Sorry your dog freaks out during bath time. Mine used to freak out with thunder or lightning and we have a whole season of storms in Florida. Having a trembling dog pacing on your head all night isn’t fun. I would trade you phobias but a backache is as bad if not worse.
The absolute best thing about Border terriers is they don’t smell and don’t need baths. I used to have that special comb to groom her, but I gave up after 2 yrs. When she’s not groomed she looks a lot like your dog Pat, except for the wavy hair and if her tail is really curled all the time.
I love how you can see a dogs personality from a picture in these shots. Shep looks dignified and proud. Max looks so playful and they all look content and happy.
My best friend ( don't tell the wife...lol) is my Collie Forte. He is abt 5 and is always the happy one to see me come home. I tend to like dogs more than most people.....if u know what I mean.
He was cute as a puppy.

But now he's got all the personality and is the joy of our lives.

We’ve got 5 “almost kids”. Garden looks like a mine field

My first “ grown up dog” meaning when I was a grown up was a mutt. When I would take her to the groomer they would try to make her look like something she was not, a schnauzer. Cocapoo, I finally told them not to ty to make her look like anything, just shave her down and keep her comfortable. She was a pure mutt and I loved her dearly. She was my best dog. I had only known mutts as a kid too. My husband inherited my mutt, Rumba, so I told him he could pick the next dog. I got Murphy who I also love dearly, but there is definitely a difference in my mind to a dog that needs a home and a dog that wants a home. I’m thinking I should get to pick the next one, or let her pick me. The mutt I picked was the one that tried to hide amongst the litter at the shelter. I reached my hand in for the white one and she shrunk back in fear of the hand. My attention went to her-the scared one,the black runt and my heart melted. Best dog ever!
Oh my gosh Tobi, mine field-that’s hilarious! You crack me up!

It’s a Peregrine falcon chick. This is one of my imprints this year, named her Emma.
Funny but true, the last pic is just a teaser of the rest of the place. We gave up on lawn maintenance years ago. We’ve also got some spur thighed tortoises, they help the dogs plenty with the digging

Tortoises? Do you have other (living) lawn mowers? I have such a love for turtles. We have a lot of gopher turtles here in Florida. I don’t what it is about them. Maybe that they have survived for eons without rushing around, the exact opposite of most humans. Love theses pics Tobi.
Pat, it would be a good idea to start another thread about all the animals some of us have other than cats and dogs. I know that you have horses.
