I have to share some cute...

My friend had a 130lb Rhodesian Ridge-back named Sydney .. nicest, funniest, coolest, dog with the most docile demeanor that 11 year old neighbor kids could walk him ... he was the biggest puppy on the planet

OMG - I thought Dora was overweight!! She's on a diet as she needs to get down to about 35-40kgs...she's currently 48.8 (like 110 pounds) down from 56. It's sooo bad for them to be heavy and once they get that way it's a nightmare to get it off! A male should be about 38 kgs max (85 pounds) and a female 35 kgs max. We're working on it!

I prefer the ones in the 4th pic from the top

Awww, you're too sweet, thank you :10:

As always, more in the blog...

Well, at least one of the cats, our Boof, is getting used to the fact that there's a new dog in the house. They're sleeping on the same mat together now

And when she's sleeping, she's just darned cute

Dora is extremely patient - even when she gets pounced on

or just sat on!

Blog updated...and there's even some diving stuff

And today we've made progress with the big black cat, Harry.

Last night Harry let both dogs (he actually loves Dora) come close to him without any growling or hissing at all

This morning Harry was watching the world go by and let Tilly sit pretty close to him. Again, no hissing, spitting or growling. Of course, he completely ignored her...

But I'm pretty sure she realises that he doesn't really like her yet...

Today on the way back from our beach walk we saw one of our resident Dad emus with his three chicks. I slowed down and Tilly cautiously looked out the window - not quite sure what was going on!

Blog's updated, too...

I almost took a ridgeback home from a shelter I used to volunteer for 10 years ago but he was MASSIVE and incredibly strong. Awesome dog, he was just too big (over 100 pounds and tall). Rhodesian Ridgebacks were originally used in Africa to hunt lions so that explains it! Your pics are SO CUTE! I can't figure out which one I like more but that Dog, Puppy, Cat shot is pretty funny.

That last picture with Harry the cat is the most pitiful "I just dont understand why he doesnt like me, Mom!" face that I have ever seen. Gosh, she is just the cutest little thing! I just want to cuddle up with her!

Is it just me or does "Rhodesian Ridgeback" sound more like the name of a dragon rather than a dog?

Nice doggie pictures!
