I just gave the dog a half-hour belly rub. ASK ME ANYTHING!

[NightTrain]

And here's the beneficiary of my belly-rubbing talents:

[Adams Wulff]

1. So, how do you

keep the other dog from biting your head?

[Merrick]

2. Can I get one of those?

It is Friday after all.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. You talking about the dog or the belly rub? (nt)

[UrbScotty]

3. Afterwards, did you take him/her for a half-hour walk?

I did with mine a while ago!

[NightTrain]

4. Did that a few hours ago.

And she made both #1 and #2. Good doggie! :loveya:

[BrklynLiberal]

5. She looks like she deserved it...

[NightTrain]

6. Yeah, Mystique is a sweetheart-and-a-half!

I just luuuuuuuuv that dog!

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Great name...for a lovely pup. I am sure she returns your love a hundred

fold. They all do. I have a German Shepherd.

[Jamastiene]

9. Awww.

I love cats and German Shepherds. That is such a sweet picture. Damn my cd-rw for cutting out on me. I wish I could share some pictures of my cats...

[NightTrain]

11. What a great picture!

Thanks for posting it.

[Wcross]

20. Who would've thunk cats and dogs get along?

This is Buddy his pup Moe and the kitties #1 and #2.

[NightTrain]

21. Me!

Check this out:



The cat's name is Palazar. He and Mystique frequently nap together on my bed.

24. Mystique looks so much like my friend Buddy.

She is addorable! I brought two kittens in to live with six dogs, so far they are forming alliences and sucking up to the dogs in charge.

[BrklynLiberal]

27. What a good puppy. It figures that she likes cats, and they like her.

[BrklynLiberal]

26. Great shot! My last shepherd, and shepherd mix, and the two cats I had at

the time used to share the bed with me. Once I settled in, there was no moving. They each had their spots...and had me pinned down for the night.

[DBoon]

10. Did she wag during her rub?

eom

[NightTrain]

14. She did at first. But Mystique went quickly into "Doggie Shutdown Mode."

She barely moved the whole time I was rubbing her belly. That's how it always works. :shrug:

[Evergreen Emerald]

12. does your hand stink?

I will remind you: you said, "ask me anything."

[NightTrain]

15. No; I rubbed Mystique's belly, not her....

Well, you know! :evilgrin:

[progmom]

13. how are you feeling today?

[NightTrain]

16. Well, I slept for 13 hours last night, and I'm losing weight.

I feel pretty good, actually. Thanks for asking! :pals:

[progmom]

17. that rocks

Exercise?


That always works best for me, and does wonders for my mood.

[MNDEM2004]

18. Who enjoyed it more?

You or the dog?


Cute picture.:)

[NightTrain]

19. I'd have to say Mystique did.

I lost count of how many times I had to change arms! :eyes:

[salin]

22. Sounds like a numb arm and a very happy pooch!

How does it feel to be a hero?

Certainly after a half-hour belly rub you are more than a hero to your cute pup.

[NightTrain]

23. That dog has been my saving grace these past few days.

Not to mention that she was excellent company when I had the stomach flu a month ago.

I must admit, the existence of dogs on this planet challenges my Atheistic views!

25. It is almost a sad comment on the human condition that it takes

either our misery (when the pups give us comfort) or their hardships (when we realize we need to give that extra love as there might not be much more time to do so) before many of us (or at least I speak for myself) take real quality time with our pups. Mine took seriously ill a year ago - and we have had much more serious quality time ever since. Suddenly I realize much more peace as a result. May you feel better soon - and may your pup keep bringing you peace and visa versa.
