I guarded the cake Warren! Lol!

Now that's funny Ronnie.
Throw the dogs a bone. LOL!
All kidding aside, your family did it right. Congrats all all around.

Ronnie,
OK,I thought that the dogs would have liked to participate in the festivities.

As you know,dogs are "party animals"

Yeah, they do good and dangerous work.

Thanks for posting, Sphinx!

I enjoyed watching that. Their sense of smell is incredible.

When they showed how the dogs find the scratches in the dirt, I can attest to that. My dogs can trail me on my 4-wheeler just as good as they can with me walking.

They are a lot of fun to fool around with and they enjoy working like that. They would rather hear you telling them: "Thataboy" than eat.

My wife will tell them how "pretty" they are and they like that just as much.

Your welcome, I know how much you love these beautiful dogs and with good reason. I wish every dog on this planet would have a life like the ones you have!

I wish they all did too, Sphinx.

My wife is home today and texted me that that Ricky & Ruby had a squirrel treed all morning in a tree in our back yard.

Rusty & Isabella once kept a bobcat in the same tree for nearly a week about 10 years ago.

One of the maps shown below shows a fairly routine day of roaming according to the GPS tracker. They are still young and don't generally travel more than a half mile away from the house.

The other map shows the territory that they will eventually cover when they get older.

That is great to see! I didn't even know that this tracking system existed for dogs. Very handy when you are missing them. What a room they have on that gigantic property. 15.3 paws, LOL
