Your stove and your dog(s)

Miss Old Man Sam.

I've got a 15 year old Chessie I'm waiting to snap a pic of in front of the fire. Sucks watching them get old. Love seeing all these lucky dogs though!

She was always wanting a fire.

You’ve got a huge fuel load in there!

Unfortunately I don’t have one of our dog but here’s one of a cat if that’s ok?

We used to have a cat. Mrs. Grey loved the wood stove you couldn't pry her away from it with a crow bar. Cats like wood stoves more than dogs do.

From a previous season. She is always right next to me with her front paws on the hearth as I am getting a fire started as if to say "Hey, be careful, you see there's a fire in there?" But later she sure appreciates it.

Our 1 year old mastiff, Gordon, loves the stove! He also likes to lay on the steel hearth extender in the summer to stay cool.

No dog here, but I do have a hairless cat He absolutely LOVES the fire rolls around on the rug and goes crazy when the blower is on.

Is it me or does that insert look really small?

Haha! I was going to say that also. Ol Gordon makes that stove look like a toy. My aunt has some mastiffs they are massive dogs

It's probably the 200 lb dog in the foreground messing with you lol. The insert is an Osburn 1600 with a 1.85 cu ft firebox. It heats our 1800 sq foot two level cape with ease!

I was just messin'. I kinda understand the large dog thing, got an 8 mo old St Bernard pup.

Haha I figured. Good luck with the puppy! Gordon is only 16 months old. We expect him to add another 40-50 lbs or so over the next year...he's a large camper.

Q. Where does a Mastiff sleep?


A. Anywhere he wants to.

 

[Millertime2531]

Most definitely his favorite spot in the house.

This is so true. You actually have to be careful about not walking too far. If they decide to quit you're gonna be stuck there for a while! They also have no regard for their size and think they are lap dogs. He will just climb right up and plop down on you.

This is Teagan. My 15 year old Chessie. She's been with me since she was 8 weeks old. One of her nicknames is Whimpers Baggins because as she's gotten older she's gotten vocal and really bossy! I've been lifting her into the backseat of the car and truck anytime we take her somewhere for the last few years now. Well this old pup decided to jump up on the coffee table the other night to let me know she was ready for dinner! Haha I have no idea why she decided to do this but it was hilarious and not something I will forget.

This is Dooley. 9 year old Irish Terrier. My special buddy. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma about 6 weeks ago. Breaks my heart. We are just trying to make sure he's comfy.

I am so sorry to hear that.

We had a Thanksgiving surprise today... a feral cat that had been living somewhere nearby got hit by a car a few days ago. Turns out she left us a package in a brush pile...




Well, when you need to dry out wet cold kittens, it's good to have a wood stove!



(I am holding 6 cats with one hand there.)

In other news, they are tremendously cute, but bottle feeding them every 3 hours is less so....

Here are my 2 girls, Lola is the boxer and is 5. The other one is an American bulldog/pit bull mix, she is a little over 1 and named Nuisance.
