Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

FRIENDS in conference hatching a plot

Post by johninny »

the photo i had planned to enter in contest for weeks and then for some reason did not while i was actually doing the post. clockwise from 8 o'clock: SAKIMA, XANDER, and TRACER

taken in late summer or early fall, i am sure they were plotting my demise.
Trace has been practicing opening cans of their food; when he masters the task, i am probably done-for.

Let's not jump to conclusions. It may not be a sinister conference.

They could just be praying for endless tug toys, treats, and wide open spaces to play in.

It does look like they're praying… the way Sakima and Tracer seem to be holding paws. I dunno John, I'd start making yourself a very important… do something involving thumbs only you can do. They'll be more likely to keep you around, just in case they are plotting. And maybe make it rain tug toys once or twice. ;)

Tell us about yourself: My name is Ben. I've been a dog lover for my entire life. I currently own a GSD (Hopper) and a Boxer (Phoebe). They are my kids and best friends.

As far as DS's go, I've never owned one and this is the reason I'm here. I'm looking to learn more about the breed since I'm thinking of adding one to my family.

I see flags all over the field. They must be reviewing a play. Though who knows how sinister the penalty could be.

Tell us about yourself: Well...it's a transition really. Had my final GSD from 1996 to 2009-she's over the Rainbow Bridge now); then moved over to Belgian Mals. Now I've DS fever looking to get SH silver brindle sib(in my dreams) for my 5 yo Male Mal Razor!

Thanks for having me onboard-I am here to learn all I can about Dutch SHepherds...although after 3.5 yrs of Mals I still wonder if I am really ever going to figure it out!

Dear Lord: Please watch over our humans, they are so weak. They have no claws or teeth, they can’t run fast or fly away, neither can they burrow or build a nest in which to be safe. They smell bad, do strange things that aren’t altogether intelligent, have no real ability to communicate with us, although we are able to figure out what they want.

Lord, grant US the ability to watch over our humans, care for them, cheer them when they are down, make them laugh, smile and shower them with our love. We pray that we can bring a little joy into their otherwise mundane existence.

Lord, please let them know that when we insist on getting attention, it is so we can check their emotional well being and boost their morale. When we pester them for different foods, toys, etc., it’s so they will learn to see us in ways they hadn’t considered, bringing them closer and back into the fold … which they are part of but keep forgetting about. They expect us to know what they want even though sometimes they don’t know what we want. Some of them really try, and we know they love us but some of them are so dumb yet our love for them remains intensely unfaltering.

Lord, when we die, please make sure to send us ahead to where ever our humans are going to be, so we can pave the way for them, vouch for them and be there for them when they too die. . . please allow us to continue proving the humans are worth the effort. You placed these humans in dominion over us, but you charged us with the task of caring for them, SHOWING them your love every day, through us.

God bless these mere mortal humans, they know not that we are their guardian angels sent in love to task them so that they may grow to be part of your plan. You and Us God … we’ll bring them back into the fold … you and us.
