God bless you Phadreus, you've done a wonderful thing saving this dog. I have owned dogs the last 30+ years of my life, and I can relate to you. One of my dogs was a beautiful German Shepherd stray that I found on the side of the road in a remote area where I was dirt biking , completely infested with more ticks than you could count. My dogs are part of my family, and sometimes my wife accuses me of loving our dog more than I love her!

My fave little bike shop has a shop dog, a gray mixed pit pup that will untie your boots if you let him. I pick him up sometimes, he's very friendly, so much that he wants to lick my face all the time, but I don't let that happen. The only critter I let lick my face is the one I've been married to for 45 years.

My wife doesn't lick my face... but, from time to time, she will lick a napkin, then use it to wipe off whatever mustard, ketchup or other condiment is on my face.
Dang, I guess it is true... you marry a girl that reminds you of Mom...

But, when I'm working on garage projects, any number of neighborhood dogs might wander into the garage to say hello. Plus Toby, a big tabby cat that lives at the other end of the cul-de-sac. He's smart enough to know that if he sits just inside the garage and starts howling, I'll go inside and get him some treats to make him shut up and go on his way. My cats give me a nasty look when I grab their treat jar off of the counter and walk to the garage with it.

I may have shared this earlier on another thread, but I'll tell the tale again.
Here is our new adoptee, Runner. I swear that was his name when he got here  .
[url=https://postimg.cc/TLxPkyX5] ![[Image: 49c9f8e47419a16466677fb796c06293.jpg]](https://cb1100forum.net/forum/uploads/imp/202108/49c9f8e47419a16466677fb796c06293.jpg)
He was a working sled dog in Alaska until recently and made his way to us through some friends who are big into that sport.
He is 10 years old but doesn't act it. He is very well behaved but doesn't do any tricks or know how to play. But ask him to run and it's off to the races.
My wife says he is the perfect canine version of me... he has dark hair, blue eyes, and is probably too skinny. He loves to eat, sleep, and run and that's about it. I can't argue the point 
And he's kinda famous in his little circle. He's run all the big races as a lead. I have found lots of photos of him scattered around the internet...

We have never had a pet before but now we don't know what we'd do without him. He is currently sleeping on my foot.

It sure is easy to fall in love with dogs, they are everything we wish we could be as humans as companions...'cept maybe when they eat cat poo out of the yard, that part is disgusting.

Not unlike yourself, I too have had a long list of motorcycles and the wife has supported me having each one. Maybe having a motorcycle is a key to a successful marriage somehow?

I truly believe that riding a motor cycle is good for a marriage , even if the wife does not ride . ( married for 47 years (same wife ! ) )

I would guess my wife has ridden behind me in our 31 years together well over 100k miles. Great riding partner for me. She always lets me know when it's too cold, or when it looks like it's going to rain, or when there are too many bugs out...you know, the things that are difficult to tell from the rider position and only perceivable from the passenger position. LOL

I can believe that! When I come home from a ride, I am in a really good mood, I take an interest in what she's doing (sitting on the couch, searching her laptop for recipes, houses in TX, or on Pinterest) and I make us each a cocktail, and all is right with the world!
