Flyby PC Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Here's my Odin and Pippin ready for take off! Badly off topic I know, but I thought the doggy people here might like the picture. Pure fluke. My phone camera snaps about 2 seconds after I press the button, so when taking pics of my dogs, what you get is a complete lottery. I thought it was a great picture, (& might even have called it the dogs b*"&"!ks). Odin is an 8 stone Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Pippin is a Border Terrier. Edited December 17, 2011 by Flyby PC Quote
Wombat Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Neat shot! It has a surreal quality to it. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Fantastic shot m8...LOVE IT!!!! Edited December 17, 2011 by UK_Widowmaker Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 8 stone ??? Yeah... A big Fella! Quote
Flyby PC Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Yes, 50.6kg last worming weigh-in at the vet. The KC breed standard says 35 to 38 kg for a dog, but Odin wasn't listening. He's not fat or overweight either, just heavier built. (Woops, best make that 6.97 stone, call it 7?. ). Wait, wait, wait, Google convert 8 stone into Kilos, and it says 50.8 kgs. BUT! Google convert 50 kg to lbs and you get 110 lbs, divide by 16lbs per stone, is 7 stone. I may have to work this out the old traditional way - using a child who knows math. Edit: It is 8 stone. There are 14 lbs in a stone, and I'm a retard apparently. Edit more. Seems I'm not retarded, but made a simple mistake. It's a week to Christmas, and I can work a calendar.

+Olham Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 How cute! The big one has no problems in the snow, and little Pippin - like a dwarf from "Lord of the rings" - is trying to keep track. Lovely! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 It's little wonder, that mankind chose to befriend our Canine Companions!....you wouldnt want to get on their bad side!!!! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Any chance you could upload a pic of Odin in normal light please m8?...My Son wants to see what he looks like!...thanks Quote
Flyby PC Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 No problem... And if you want to know what a star he is, this is him playing with Pippin just weeks after I got him. It's hard to describe him, but he's a very 'kind' dog. Ridgebacks are pretty smart really. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Stunning!!!....My Son (and I) love 'em Looking at the video...Odin is a 'big' chap....in more than one respect too isnt he?....Impressive!!!! Looks like he could give the Ladies something to blush about! Edited December 18, 2011 by UK_Widowmaker Quote
jwrich Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Many of us have a special place in our hearts for our dogs. This is Sammy, she is a long haired Dachshund. She is my flying buddy, ever since she was a small puppy she like to go to the flying field with me and now she thinks she has to go all the time. Sammy goes to many of the flying events around the state with me and she has made many friends, No matter how hot or cold it may be, Sammy is there. She is now 16 years old and she can't get around very well so I made her some wheels which she uses very well. It is remarkable how much unconditional love and denotation can come from a small little dog. Sammy is my buddy. Rich Edited December 19, 2011 by jwrich Quote
