Rottweilers are awesome pets!
A lot of times they get a bad rap but it's really just bad owners.

We had 2 at different times, and they do make fantastic pets. Both had totally different personalities, and our last one lived for 18 happy years!

I got my 5yr old a puppy!

here is my 5 yr old 'Arnold'

and here is the new puppy I got him 3 weeks ago, Bodhi.

14mths 100lb's of crazy love.

OMG I have my work cut out for me. he is a big rambunctious boy.

off to the trainers for a session next week hopefully.

I love my rotties and will never own another type of dog.
and I only take those who need a home and I dont care how damaged or troubled the dog is.

I can rebuild them.

I was told to put arnold down 3 yrs ago when we got him.
If we hadnt of taken him in the 1st place thats what awaited him if we refused to take him.
Not doing so was the most rewarding experience of my life.
He looks at me & tells me I am his life.
His heart beats for me.

and with time, so will Bodhi's.

I think our cats love living in Washington even more than we do. They've never had windows like these to watch the wildlife at the feeders.

@momofthegoons I had some friends who had a wolf hybrid in the 90's. They bought a brand new Land Rover Discovery for about $40k. That wolf destroyed the entire interior within a few weeks. I mean everything. Made this naughty puppy look like an amateur.

Here's my neighbor's puppy. He comes over every morning around 8:00 and waits by my front door for cookies and some fetching games. We play until he decides he would rather steal my dog's toy for himself and runs off with his prize. Once a few toys make it over there, my neighbor throws them over my back fence to be recycled.

I love this puppy because we are much more strict helicopter parents for our own furry babies. So it is fun to have a free wheeling dog on the loose like we had as kids without bring responsible for anything it does. My dogs would be on leashes heading straight to the car if outside our fence yard.

So when I saw this new Android commercial on TV a few days ago, the first thing that popped into my head was this thread, so here...........

How long does it take to master a craft? How about 80 years? Because 109-year-old Australian Alfred Date has been knitting since the 1930s and his latest/most famous endeavor was making mini sweaters… for endangered penguins!

Back in 2013, Victoria’s Phillip Island Penguin Foundation asked for volunteers to make sweaters for the rare “little penguins.” Alfie, who has yet to learn to say no, pitched in.

Father to 7, grandparent to 20, he’s not only been an active knitter, but also a sportsman, having played golf till his 90’s.

His secret for longevity? “Waking up every morning”. See, he’s a joker, too!
