Nelson (above, and about 9 years old) is my mechanics dog. I've been seeing the same mechanic for about 15 years and Nelson has always been there to greet anyone pulling up or retrieving their vehicle. A few years ago, the mechanic adopted another dog, Honey, from a person who was living in their car and could no longer take care of her. He had to put her down in December due to neurological issues.  She was a sweet girl with more gums than teeth, but always happy to say hello. For years I'd bring treats for the marketing department when dropping off or picking up a vehicle. Knowing Honey had passed was sad and the mechanic was obviously hurt by seeing her go. Today I came by for a scheduled inspection and had a chance to meet the mechanics adult daughter and infant granddaughter. The daughter let me know they were taking Nelson to the vet this very day. He would not be coming home.  Again, the mechanic was obviously distraught, as he'd had Nelson for a decade ...

Since my previous post had the photo insert upside down, I wanted to check and see if it happened to all photos or just that one. Dexter, my brother's dog, while we were out for a walk on Dead River Park, Hillsborough County, FL. 

Another United + #dog story, but this time United isn't flying the dog home and that has made all the difference. http://www.businessinsider.com/coast-guardsman-faces-31000-fee-to-fly-dog-home-2018-3

Remember when the #DonaldTrump administration scrubbed #puppy mill inspection records from the USDA's website last year? Guess what? The #Florida legislature is running with that ...

Dogs are on my mind at the moment. Well, one dog anyway. So, here are some #dog idioms and their histories. http://www.dictionary.com/e/s/dog-idioms/?utm_content=buffere4248&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer#hot-diggity-dog

And following my previous post about dogs is this one about dog pet foods. I am, and always have been, perfectly fine with "animal by products" in my #dog food. They're the parts that western humans typically won't eat but wild carnivores will and therefore are not harmful to Rover at all. Does Rufus want a steak? Sure. Is he just as happy with a hot dog? Yep. Originally shared by World Economic Forum A carbon paw-print. http://wef.ch/2sOORW3

Caught this guy running around the dog park yesterday evening while wearing these rainbow sunglasses. Per his hooman, the dog always walked in the shade, many times in the hooman' shadow, so as a joke he slipped the glasses on the dog one day. Turns out, the dog loved it and now wears them whenever outside. #dog
