Nice!

I love the markings on the black pooch! He looks like he was stealthily inspecting a flour sack.

Gonzirra - those three portraits in sequence give me the impression they've seen some $h!t

approximately chew thirds of the living room inventory

Envious that those toys have some longevity with your pup. My two would have shredded most of those. I threatened to start a company manufacturing dog toys made of Kevlar.

My dog was well trained to expect a toy of some sort every single time I came home with grocery bags in hand. The joy of watching her happily sticking her head into every bag until she found the hidden toy, man, that's something I didn't really realize how much I missed until just now.

I hated buying stuffed toys at grocery store prices for them to only last like 2 minutes, so I always had a stock of thrift store stuffed animals in my car so I could add one to a random grocery bag when necessary.

Middle one just a pup I've had for not even two weeks, but other two are about 12 and have been with me a little over 10 years.

The black lab has been everywhere with me, he's swam in the Atlantic and the Pacific, eaten fresh Salmon out of the Chena river in Alaska. He's old now and living at a more relaxed pace (like his owners) but if a dog could make a bucket list we've checked every box. He's never been skydiving I guess but he doesn't take well to being harnessed so we can skip that. The little guy is more content to hang out in the living room and watch TV.

The pup is already the brightest dog I've ever had, no issues climbing out of a 36" pen, getting gates out of the way, understands how doorknobs work and forget latch handles. I haven't even started class with him and he's got several commands down. He will be a nightmare to supervise while a puppy but tons of upside once I can get him properly trained.
