Foo - lazy dogs

how lazy is your dog?

i saw a guy walking his grey hound in the park and that sure was funny. he would take a couple of steps then turn around with his hands on his hips waiting and calling his dog then another few steps. it was like he was walking a toddler.

the dog on the other hand looked like he was grazing, slowly swaggering zig zagging around with his nose in the grass. it was like the owner was walking a sheep. the dog looked really young, fit and healthy too. i've seen other dog owners waiting for their dogs, but alwas becasue the dog was off running hither and thither ignoring the owner. this grey hound was just slow and lazy and had a "couldn't give a sht" attitude. very funny.

Give the poor greyhound a break. He was just checking his "pee" mail.

I have two greyhounds....they are a very lazy dog. Most people think because they are ex-racers that they would be hyper type dogs. Just the opposite. They lay around and sleep about 23 hours and 45 minutes per day...ok maybe an exaggeration, but not by much. :)

They don't call them "the world's fastest couch potato" for nothing.

Wait - what? These exist????

I own a hyper/happy/ball loving/walk loving/bike ride loving/swimming loving/tug-o-war loving/de-stuffing loving golden retriever. People still ask me how old she is (in that "awww what a cute puppy" way). Then they look sorta awkward & uncomfortable when I tell them she's 6. :twitchy:

About 10 years ago (before these poochies) I had a black lab (mix). I had him until he died when he was about 8 years old. That dog still acted like a complete puppy with more energy than I could ever dissipate until the day he died.

Labs are great dogs too......but notoriously VERY ENERGETIC.

I got my girl so we could do stuff together, mostly mountain bike.

Now she's an acceptable level of hyper. When she was younger, I thought I'd never be done walking her/playing with her. We could spend HOURS at the dog park, and she'd be good to go again after napping in the car on the way home (a whopping 20min drive).

Let's just say my dog goes to bed because he's tired of napping all day.

My dog has 2059 different spots in the yard to sleep.

I usually quip "they're taking a nap to get up the energy for the nightime snooze". ;) :thumb:

hehe - my little dog (RIP) always traveled with us everywhere and loved her walks, but when she didn't want too she was one stubborn doggie.

Nothing like walking at a good clip down the sidewalk and then start dragging a boulder behind you - look back and I'm dragging her as she's sitting down. Nope, nu-uh - no more of this walking stuff.

My dog is not the lest bit lazy and she's eight years old. I take her to my parents house every weekend. They have four acres with tons of tasty little animals for her to dig up and eat. Stupid dog cost me 300 bucks a little while ago. The vet showed me the x-ray and saw a lot of little critters in there. Even after messing herself on my couch, I still love this dog.

worms?

My dog has 2 speeds: Sleep, and hyperactive turbo crack monkey. The latter usually lasts until she's exhausted herself of all energy reserves and simply lays down to sleep right in the middle of whatever she was doing.

I guess I've never seen her go long enough to exhaust herself then. She's always been hyperactive turbo crack monkey when I've been there. That's why we (ASCII and I) have tons of fun!!! :thumb:

Lets see. Last weekend I caught her eating a mole. Earlier in the spring she decided that eating a little bunny made sense. Squirrels are also very evil animals in her eyes. Chases them constantly but those suckers are quick. Once in a while, she'll try to eat a kitty or two but the kitties always win.

Maxx doesn't have any legs. So we just prop him up in different positions for fun. Here's the, "I look attentive, but I could really give a sh**," pose.

This is the "Flat on a couch," pose. Every 15 minutes we roll him over so he won't get too cooked on one side.

This one, I just threw him across the yard at my wife and he landed upright. Usually he lands upside down. So this was good enough for a picture.

Is she a little thing? I mean to find little animals in her - would have thought she'd digest them?

You mean he has little short legs, right?

Na, she's a pretty decent size dog. She was acting funky one day so I took her into the vet. The vet took an x-ray of her and we found what looked like two moles or mice in her.

She is so zen while hunting that nothing will stop her. She sprained her front left leg a few weeks ago digging. You would think that would stop her. Well, while mowing the lawn last weekend I found a nice new crater in the septic tank mound. Stupid dog is stupid. She re-injured her leg. This weekend she is going out on a leash and 'doesn't allowed to play'.

I think sub is borrowing them, how else can he be that fast? :innocent:

either that or his dog takes after cat racers.

We had them removed when he wouldn't "Stay" on command. So now he does - permanently.

I should have had that procedure done to my late Beagle Mona. That dog didn't listen for shi~! I would let Mona out for eight hours straight. Once I let her in the house, she would stare me dead in the face and crap on the floor. That dog had Attitude!

My dog is active when he wants to be:

Sleepy when he wants to be (yes, that is his chair):

But he still pays attention in between naps:

He doesn't do too well in the heat either. We'll take him for a short walk, maybe around two or three city blocks, and he needs to lay down in the shade before we get home. When we get home he hits the tile floor like a ton of bricks to get this stomach cooled off. Too funny.

We had a miniature dachshund when I was growing up that did that. He could be outside for 9 hours - and then when he was let in he made a beeline for my brother's rug. Oh yeah and he was known to pee on men's shoes. Of course us kids thought it was hilarious. Best one was when a fuller brush salesman is talking to Mom - and they didn't realize Crickett was sneaking up for a killer pee and got him. Fuller brushman took in stride and just said "I have to go now, have to change my sock". Bad doggy!

Mole dog at her finest.

Here she is not messing herself on my couch.

i love all these dog stories. subs dog roasting story is hilarious...turn him over. haha.

Unfortunately there will be a time my Dear Inge will leave me. It will take me some time to get over it since Miss Inge is such a great dog. However, Couch will need another awesome companion. I believe it will be 'The German Shepherd Dog'.

Maxx has legs. And knows the rules. He crapped once in the house. I kicked him in the side of the head. Never crapped again in the house.

Works on kids too. Now they go to the door when they have to crap.

We have 2 jack russells. No laziness there. If allowed, they will run circles around us as we go for a walk.

Spasma dog has to always be RIGHT THERE next to me. She always have to touch me somehow - whether it be leaning on me, her paw touching my foot, her nose on my ankle.... I can't even turn around and cook in the kitchen without bumping into her. Good thing she's not a little dog! If I go to lay down she has to lay down with me and does the alligator roll until she is smothering me. And trust me... she is MORE than 110 lbs. Has to be. And if my hands aren't busy she has to hold my wrist with her mouth. She has learned quickly though, that the wrist with the bicycle chain bracelet is not the one to mouth anymore.

that is such a naughty expression on his face, like he just played a practical joke.

Same with Maxx. He has to be right next to you. He sleeps with us. And has to be right in the crook of my wife's legs. He also has a stuffed animal that he takes to bed with him - always. He can't sleep without it.

Yeah but you know you can't sleep without him.......

As for Trinity, she gets kicked out. If I let her sleep with me, the other two have to as well. And to have two cats and three dogs (two of them over 100 lbs) all on the bed, I usually end up on the floor.

Lazy mutt. She wouldn't even get up to bark at the mailman.
