Look at this dog’s face. There is no stress. She is so well trained. (Trained by my daughter who also trains service dogs.) The helmet is a movie prop and doesn’t weigh as much as a real helmet so that wasn’t an issue. She has appeared in commercials as well as magazine advertising for Hollywood Feed. This is one of my favorite pictures of her. Thanks coach and everyone for the comments.

Thanks you your service

Ronnie,
Dogs basically don't have stress,they take the stress away from you.
Very old remedy was that if you were sick and in bed,take the dog in bed with you,they will take the sickness away.

That may sound stupid but it cannot hurt.

Always worked for me.

This was Miss Deb's dog when we met years ago.
Chelsea was a very small Samoyed that was a BARKER. She was a sweet dog but never shut up. We had a doggie door so she could have her own way in/out. Some nights she would bark most of the night. We live in snow county and she loved it. She would sleep outside all night in a snow bank. She's in her element here.

Warren, that is a great picture!

Walker, Thank you.
More about Chelsea. Anyone remember Arnold the pig from the Geico commercial? Well I did an Arnold "WHEE,WHEE" for Chelsea one day. OMG, that dog just loved it and started howling now. Every day afterwards she would just stare at us until we said "WHEE". It became a game, and that little girl could howl at the moon. Miss her every day when I come home and no bark.
Don't miss the constant barking but those were fun times.

Wayne my wife and daughter were at the local dog pound a few years back when they noticed a sad dog that had no hair. It had mange. The dog was schedule to be put down the next day. My wife couldn’t let that happen so she brought her home. Took her to the vet who described her type of mange as “stress mange.” Said it was brought on not by catching the mange from another dog but being stressed out. He gave my wife some medicine to treat the dog and the dog made a complete recovery. Going from the streets/dog pound to our house didn’t hurt any either. We were just gonna foster her until we could find a good home. Well she found a home alright.....our home. Turned out to be one heckuva dog. No more issues with hair loss. Here is a photo where you can clearly see she isn’t stressing about anything.

Wayne, I agree they also lower your blood pressure when you are petting them they say. Warren, that is a beautiful dog and picture! Ronnie seeing your beautifully recovered dog, makes me real happy! Your daughter and wife (and you) have good hearts.
I am so glad that we don't have kil shelters over here! They only put dogs down when they are dangerous. Must be terrible walking true a dog pound with dogs who are scheduled to be put down.

On a lighter note, My wife made this picture of our dog, that passed away last week years ago. Het hated cats, LOL

Those photos of those wonderful dogs are great. They seem to know that they are in excellent homes!

I just hate it when a dog is ill or injured,makes me feel sick.

Isn't it amazing how a dog tends to take over a home???

I can basically tell who's the boss there!!!!

Luvvy loved to go in the car or truck. She would "help" drive. She was good steering but lousy with the clutch!!!!
