A few pictures of our new lab puppy that I haven't shared yet. He turned 1 about a month ago. He's turning into quite a good boy.

Looks to be a very sweet dog. We used to have a Bailey, and she was awesome.

Thank you, I kid you not, she is the absolute sweetest dog I have ever been around...she is not the most brilliant or protective or alert, but her superpower is absolute kindness and love.
So it goes.

Here is a pic of my Rottweiler…Atlas. He’s 125 pounds of muscle and unbelievably
Strong. Very Smart and stubborn to boot. He is well behaved but he is also very
Protective of his family. This can be a bit of a challenge at times. He knows that people
Are intimidated by him and he uses his “social” skills to let people know to keep their
Distance. We joked that during his Covid walks he promoted “social distancing”…
Everyone gave us a wide berth. He must be introduced to people that come into our
Home. Our neighbors love him, he not only protects our home but he considers the
Neighbors homes his territory too. No stranger or delivery person arrives without proper
Notification.

He sleeps inside at the entrance to our bedroom. When we have company he rotates
And spends time at their doorways too. We’ve trained him to be a decent bird dog
(Quail&dove mostly) He’s also shown cattle herding ability at the family ranch.

He is the Fetch Master…he will play ball with you until your arm falls off. My wife taught
Him to do the frisbee thing. She also taught him to play soccer really good. He will scoot
That ball right past you in the blink of an eye. The pic I posted is of him at the doggy
Hotel. They have a competition pool with a diving dock. He willingly jumps into
The pool after his tennis balls. The owners said that unfortunately he would not fare
Well during the competitions…he doesn’t jump high enough or far enough.
But, they said he would definitely place 1st in the amount of water displaced from the pool
Or the largest splash. ;)

Rough week here in AZ. We had to put our 12 year old Rottweiler (Atlas) down due to
His hip dysplasia. He was hanging tough but,it was very hard seeing him struggling.
We got some meds for him to make him more comfortable but it soon became obvious
To us that we were just being selfish. Atlas had a huge personality and an even bigger
Heart. This is gonna be a tough one to get over.
I am posting a picture of him hiking with our granddaughter in one of the near by
Canyons. The grand daughter was the one who picked him out of the litter to bring
Home when she was only 4 years old. She did a great job.

Ed, I'm so sorry about Atlas. I have an injured cat right now, which is breaking my heart, so I can imagine how sad you must be. You did the right thing by not letting him suffer, and as you said, he is in heaven now with all the other dogs. In time it will get easier. Take care.

Very sorry for your loss Ed. We lost our dog a year ago this past June 27th...to be exact, the same day as the 10 year anniversary of owning our home. There's not a day that goes by that we don't talk about our Tony "Bubby". Normally left laughing about a story, but then feeling bummed because we miss him so much. But, we know our lives were better to have had him for the 8 years we had him, than to have never have had him at all. I'm willing to bet you feel that way as well. It's tough, but a good reminder to yourself when feeling down.
