Shop Dogs

[Whoops]

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 .

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. :rofl:

I love how many people here have rescues or otherwise aren’t getting their dogs from a puppy mill! I have deep respect for all of you that are doing your little bit to care for an animal that needs a human!:worship:

Thanks for that. However, I rescued my cats, and they certainly don't act like they need humans...

Same here.

I think all the ones I have known drop all inhibitions when confronted with "weed".

But those eyes though...so...hypnotic...just gorgeous.

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!

Ah Thx Dave!

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. :dodgy:

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.

45 Years, good for you CB! We're sneaking up on 32 Years ourselves. 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? :blush:

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!

It's funny you say that, I have thought to myself on many rides with wifey behind me, "This is as good as life gets, not much better to want for beyond this." When the road is nice, the weather perfect, the bike is running great and you have a significant other holding on to you...that's the best life has to offer in my world.

It's the simple things that make it worth all the hassle.

Thanks for that. However, I rescued my cats, and they certainly don't act like they need humans...

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[Houtman_imp]

Cats might allow you to be their friend .

A wise man once said "A dog feels joy if it thinks it makes us happy. We feel joy if we think we make a cat happy."

 

[KiowaEagle_imp]

My rescue. Although she’s no shop dog.

Oh man, you are the Cat Whisperer, ... or at least what they allow you to think.

What do they say? Dogs have masters, cats have servants?

 

[tommymck]

I made the mistake of volunteering at a local shelter. Now I have a goofy shop dog.



This was her at the shelter. She came in with 10 pups from some horrible mill. Nothing but boobs and bones.



2 months later, she's happy as can be...

 

[peterbaron]

AMAZING dog and pics...does she have M license and helmet ?
What's her name?

 

[Inhouse Bob]

You da man, tommymck!
Spring is coming and we need to ride somewhere soon.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Looks like time for a CB1100 sidecar Tommy.

 

[The A-man]

You're a good man Tommy!

Ha! Gotta love that smile!

Her name is Molly. I need to consider the Rudy / Hank mode!

Just say when. Spring has sprung!

Indeed. Inspired by Deltamark's videos. If I were to do a side car though, I'd probably do it on the R18.

Beautiful pup, thanks for rescuing her. We've got three, the last a pup we found abandoned on the road side.

As a guy who just got his CB last month, and just put his dog down last week, this is my favorite thread I’ve seen in a long time. Dogs and wrenchin go together like peas and carrots.
