My shepherd-collie Ralphie could catch a basketball with his front paws and then scootch it between his back legs with his front and entertain himself for hours!

Here he is on top of a panel truck with his stick!

Who’s got floppy ears! WHO’S got floppy ears? You do! YOU DO! Yes, you DO!!

And here he is with his brother Fred chasing a football 40 years ago.

Raven, I’m in love with Ralphie after that first pic. What a character.
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Tim F.: He loved to fish too, damn bobber drove him nuts.

Last one, he like food too!

Get him a horse ball. They’re bite proof. My German Shepherd Dog Oka herds his up and down the yard–gets it moving with his nose and then keeps it going with his front paws like a soccer player.

@Dave Trowbridge: What’s a horse ball. . .it’s not like a mountain oyster is it?

Bleachers at the dog park so people can watch the off leash dogs? I do like the idea of the fence, having been bitten by the dogs of the fuckwits who claim their precious could never hurt anyone.

@MikeJ: My doggie Bohdi would never hurt a flea but he might make an exception for you!

My late lamented Tigger the pointer used to do that with tennis balls. She’d occasionally kick it downstairs and chase after it just to break the monotony.

Roll, damn you, roll!

I had totally missed that he was a doberman. This is the first one I’ve seen that hasn’t had his ears done…whatever it is they do to their ears…and I like it!

Sometimes I think girls call us dogs because we’re so dumb.

The State Commissioner just gave Occupy Nashville until 830pm tomorrow to clear out. I hope things don’t get as interesting as they did in Oakland.

LOL. He is persistent.

@Comrade Luke: I was in the vets office with my boxer, sat in the waiting room. Dude opposite me had a boxer with bandages on his ears. He says to me “are you going to get his ears done” I said “no why would I do such a cruel thing” he said “well I don;t want him looking like a pig, boxers who don;t have their ears done look like pigs” My response “then why would you buy a (fucking) boxer?” An attorney that I am friends with has a delightful boxer named “Doodle” she is the most wonderful dog, and she has a tail, she was rescued before a breeder got a chance to lop off her tail, and she is the most wonderful wiggly, tail waggy goggy you could ever meet. I really don’t like this whole slicing of the ears and snipping of the tails thingy.

CBS poll on OWS. Take an educated guess what the disapproval rate is before opening up link

@Litlebritdifrnt2:
I don’t get it. Boxers with uncropped ears look great!

@Dave Trowbridge: Also known as “jolly balls,” from the original brand – they have nothing in common with mountain oysters. In case you have another wonder dog like Ralphie or Fred, jolly balls are totally durable. They are designed to withstand being played with by horses, and as such are pretty tough to deflate with teeth – although the danger from horse teeth is based on jaw strength, not sharpness, as they aren’t carnivores and don’t need canines.

I like all the echo-y voices and the fog. Adds a certain darkness to Max’s determined pawing of the ball.

@ Tim F.
Nice! Did you shoot that with your Pen? I just saw this vid, shot with the E-P3 and PL25/1.4. I think the model comes with the lens.

µ4/3 has come a long way. Here’s hoping Oly’s still in business to take advantage.

Wonderful !!! My yard is filled with my GSD’s deflated soccer balls, which my landscapers despise …

BTW, I’m going to buy the E-PM1 tomorrow …

Dang, that is one handsome (and silly) dawg.

Harry yawned at this video. Then again, he chases cursors.
Dave S.
I watched it with the sound off and pictured him saying “Squirrel!” every time he popped his head up. Beautiful dog.

@Raven (formerly stuckinred): Two smart breeds of dog. He probably had a highter IQ than 27% of the population. And good looking, to boot.

We had a big ol’ Humane Society Special (we think she was part Rhodesian Ridgeback) who used to do the ‘hike the ball around’ thing with a bowling ball. She’d hike it with some serious momentum, then run alongside barking at it.
