That is one happy looking dog!

You guys are killin' me. I try real hard not to look at stuff like this. Lost my best gal over three years ago. These are more than dogs, I'm sure you know that, by your posts. Maggie was a yellow lab, a runt, the last thing a whole lot of pheasants ever saw in this life. Hunting will never be the same without her, I am still vacuuming white hair out of my truck. Cherish the moment, it passes quickly.

This is Mac after I've been playing a while. I'm not sure if he likes it of hates it, but as soon as I pick up the mandolin, he settles down somewhere and falls asleep.

Ok here is my 2 Stanleys. One is a beagle-chow mix, the other is an A style. I find this combination hard to beat!

Hey Don.......Is the dog named for the mandolin?

[Don Julin]

Hey Art, no Stanley the beagle is a few years older than Stanley the mando. The beagle is about 5 yrs old. The mando is still a pup. Only 1.5 yrs old. Didn't really plan it, it just worked out this way.

I have a feeling Mac is the kind of fellow who like to settle down somewhere and fall asleep whether you're playing or not. But only on days ending with "Y".

That is the picture of contentment.

This is our Little Maggie. She and Scottie love to lay at our feet and listen to our siingin' and pickin'. We love 'em both to death. Both rescues.

Well, this little one is just visiting. Only about 12 weeks old, some friends are travelling for a few days, and we get to puppy-sit. It's a Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix named Princess Buttercup, from the movie The Princess Bride. Seems to take well to the mandolin - it was sitting next to me on the couch, and I looked down to see it happily chewing on the end of my leather strap. It leaves to go back home tomorrow, but we'll at least get to visit regularly.

This wee lad just joined my household - 6 month old terrier mix complete with charming underbite - goes by "Wilson". He's been at the shelter where I work for 2 months now and I just couldn't stand to watch him grow up there any longer. As for mandolin content -the good news is that he likes the mandolin! So as long as my corgi mix doesn't teach him her mandolin hating ways, everything should be just fine!

Cheers,
Jill

Dad, Rio, Mando!

I'd say nobody's goin' near that mando...

My son (9) got his first mandolin (Kentucky 150) a month ago, with some great advice from you all. Here is a picture of his new prized mando with our 2 1/2 year old prized Border Terrier, Ginger. She looks a little bemused...

Well, that didn't work exactly as I thought, but I did put the photo as my avatar, so you can see it there.
