:P

I need more derp-pics of my dogs...


Even Rylee, though she thinks she's all that. Far too good to look derpy. /sarcasm

Oh I forgot these two; already posted them awhile ago but might as well share the derpiness.

They're both gorgeous, especially the multi-colored eye one! <3

She is a chocolate lab. I just don't understand. When ever I call her she rams into me like she didn't know I was there. Is my dog mental? ( XD )


How old is she? Plus all the questions people above asked. I've heard chocolates tend to be the more psycho, crazy-hyper ones.


Boxers derp on purpose just to make you life. IJS.

a completely average and normal day with Clemmy. She'd gotten a 30-45 minute walk that morning (in which a 15 minute run around a park probs would've happened) plus probably some trick training and this is how she acted every afternoon. Because she's a derpface.

Also, Boxers have the best expressions.

DNA tests are extremely unreliable, but I suppose its not a bad guess given phenotyping (marks the genes responsible for coat type, color, and length, size, and body type. They prove unreliable often due to the vast variations even within genes. Dog breeds haven't been seperated long enough to truly be genetically different from one another) . I'd have said something like a spitz type (husky; she seems to be angouti) combined with something like a hound or GSD x hound (as it seems she carries the tan point gene). Who knows, though. Mutts are fun. =) She's super unique looking!

Generally, if someone asks,
I just say a Ridgeback mix,
so I don't confuse everyone <3

Yeah, she's a shelter dog.
Her mum was a stray, and
was put down for temperament
reasons {Boo. ):} so I couldn't
ask what breed she was.

I love how unique Lola is, though.
I haven't ever met another dog like
her!

Dats mah mutt Juniper. We get all kinds of weird guesses. I just call her a GSD/Rottie mix as its the most likely. We've gotten kelpie, Aussie (wut), Dobe mix, "Is that a pure shepherd?!", and beauceron. xD

Cute, cute!
Love the name <3

Where'd you
get her?

Slightly off topic;

Could some of you venture
over to my topic, and take
a gander at my two new rescues?
I'm at a loss for what breeds they are.

A lady was giving away free 6ish week od puppies in a parkinglot. Another lady came by and took two of them. One she gave to a co-worker and the other she tried to pass around her apartment complex with no luck. I got a call at midnight to come get a puppy. Went out there and the lady had decided to keep her. Tried to educate her about diet and everything. Went home with a heavy heart. Got a call the next morning from the lady who said the puppy cried, poop'd, and pee'd all over her apartment all night. I brought Juniper home on Christmas eve and she never left. ;) Funnily enough she didn't cry at all that night, she slept curlled around my head.

Ahh, a parking lot puppy <3
Good thing you got her,
you never know where
parking lot puppies might
end up!

That's too funny,
what did the lady expect?
It's a puppy!

Lola's first car ride home
from the Shelter, she;

Pee'd
Poop'd
and
Puked

all in a 45 minute car
ride. Poor baby was very
anxious, but brightened
up very quickly once she
saw we had other dogs <3

Yeeaahhh. Juniper would be an absolute nightmare in the wrong hands (I try to teasingly give her away all the time because she's a nightmare in general~).

I know, right? Its a puppy! They don't come programmed. xD Would be mighty nice if they did~
