8 photos of Happiness: and Yes, There will Be Dogs

Last updated on August 6, 2015 By Puppy Leaks 19 comments
When I got a chance to participate in 8 photos of happiness I was very joyous undoubtedly – having a chance to share some of my favorite pet dog photos? Heck yes, I’ll take it. (and not to mention I’ll give you a break from my ‘personal word vomit’ aka tendency to get carried away with words)

I want to thank Kelsie from It’s pet dog or nothing for the nomination, and give a shot out to Ariel’s little corner of the Internet for starting all this fun.

Throughout my life one thing has been constant – my dogs have brought me happiness. Here’s a look at my beloved companions, past and present.

8 photos of Happiness:

Here’s my first pet dog Mindy, she was such a good girl, and my constant shadow. You might remember her from the introduction in my bite prevention post. She taught me a very crucial lesson; dogs are living beings that need respect, not just a child’s play thing.

Mindy & I a few years later. Did I mention how tolerant she was? What pet dog doesn’t love karaoke, or being lucky enough to live in a one child household? ?

Bear was my second dog, he was such a happy-go-lucky-guy. He loved everyone and everything, and had no problem modeling for my outstanding “wilderness” photo shoots. What says wilderness a lot more than a striped sweater anyways? My first memory of him is our ride home together when he peed all over my lap.

This is Carter aka the laziest and pet dog I’ve even known. From a young age he was always ready to lay kick back or lay in the shade. Oh sure as a pup he’d play with Bear or a couple minutes, but after those two minutes were up it was time for a nap. He’s the poor person I shaved because I though it would help keep him cool.

Here’s Ki-Ki attacking a Christmas village. (and yes her name was “Key Key” because it got her attention a lot more than any other name I tried) When she wasn’t terrorizing little villages she was normally very laid back and quiet, though her & Bear typically woke me up from their crazy 6am wrestling matches outside my bedroom door.

Here’s Laika and her ears on her first day home, shortly after we fought over that silly rawhide. despite that little misstep it was still a very delighted day.

Shortly after getting Laika she started helping me with chores around the home. here she is sitting pleased shortly after our patio demo. There’s just something about her love of sitting in chairs that still gets to me.

And for the finale here’s a recent photo of Laika that makes me smile. The dirtier the pet dog the better, right? That’s what she thinks at least, and I’m guessing your pet dog does as well.

Well, those are my 8 photos of happiness, and now here are the rules:
