Both my dogs are purebred "Louisiana Catahoula Leopard" - they are technically a cur, but are a registered breed. They are not agressive dogs, but are VERY assertive, the owner better be the Alpha in the house.

They are for hunting:

Better scenting than a bloodhound
Webbed feet for swimming
Can and will climb trees to go after prey

(I have a snapshot of one of Dixie's relatives 15 foot up in a tree at the field trials)


They are also for herding:

They are known for herding wild boar, but are just as happy with cattle, horses, sheep, people, etc.

When you buy one they tell you it must be exercised HARD daily or it will eat your house - TRUE! Both my dogs get plenty of exercise, and yet my older dog has literally eaten a lawnmower and the sub floor of my house. Dixie has been eating a pine tree with her baby teeth.

The cats are a feral colony we have been feeding and tending since the year 2000. We trap/spay/neutered them and then released them back into their territory. Without all the kittens the colony has dwindled down to just what you see in the pics (thank goodness!) - the one inside was a kitten from the matriarch's second litter.

I lost my old boy Sunday. Winky was with us for almost 22-23 years, we can’t remember when exactly we got him. That is most of my life. He was truly a part of our family and his loss has been really hard. Goodnight sweet prince. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Aw, Khajiit! I am so very sorry for your loss!

Aww, RIP, Winky. So sorry for your loss, Khajiit.

May you walk on warm sands, Winky.

Sorry for your loss, Khajiit.

Sorry for your loss, Khajiit.

Sorry for the loss of a furbaby T_T. I know losing a beloved pet is like losing a part of you .

So sorry to hear that my friend.

Thanks for the sympathy amigos. Kind folks like you all have made this difficult time a little brighter.

Oh Khajiit- I am so sorry! What a beautiful boy. As someone who has been owned by fur-persons my entire life, I feel you loss deeply.

What a handsome boy he was. Khajiit, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Thank you Treydoggie Dog and Grits.

I'm in a bad mood! My dog Rosie nails are in need of trimming but she doesn't liker her paws being touched. She's like an unbeatable boss in a video game T_T .

Reaper, I'm sorry you're in a bad mood. . . but. . .

I'm not really in a bad mood just being over dramatic lol . Still Rosie gives so much trouble for trying to trim her nails. One option is to take her to a vet and have them knock her out and do her nails...I might have do that someday.

Here's a taste of what I go through

I had my Veterinarian trim my male dog's toenails because he fought like heck too. They had their ways of getting it done without him or me (or any of them) getting hurt, lol. I couldn't do his ears either.










That guy in the vid was doing it totally wrong; that was his fault that he was having trouble with that dog; the dog wasn't really fighting him. But some dogs give you trouble even when you do it right.

I wasn't really trying to do her nails on camera just showing off what she does when you even come near her with nail clippers.

Oh, was that you? I didn't know that was you! Oh, she is adorable!!!

You have to sit with her paw in your lap and hold the paw so it is around your knee and facing away from you (like your own toenails are facing when you cut them). Really = best have one of the techs at your vet show you how to do it; because coming at her like that with that thing in your hand is going to make her nervous of it; you can see how her attitude completely changed as you started coming at her with them that way. She could tell you were nervous about what you were doing, and that made her nervous. But the angle you are trying to do that = you could end up hurting her, and that will make her REALLY fight you trying to do her nails. She is so cute though! What an awesome dog!

So sorry about Winky, Khajiit!

Thank you ‘Rocu.

Well I lost my Bubbie aka Loki of 14 years the other day, as you can imagine I'm an emotional wreak right now. My Dad and I decided to go ahead and have him put to sleep as his health was failing him and he simply got to a point where he stop eating and drinking. Though I have my Boston Terror Molly and German Shepard Rosie, Loki was by far my favorite as I had him since he was a puppy. RIP Bubbie we'll see other again someday T_T .
