I thought that my Chelsea was big at 165#. She was 40# heavier than her Father mix English Sheep Dog & ? Lab, Mother was a Blood Hound. She looked like her father (couldn't see her eyes with all the fur), except she had the long ears of a Hound Dog - covered with Long Hair. If you pulled her hair away from her eyes, she had the sad Blood Hound eyes). She was loving, a small bear, loved to cuddle, friendly - I believe she showed the burglers around the house to where the good stuff was. She crossed over Rainbow Bridge almost 13 years ago.

Her replacement - Tipper - is a rescued dog, now weighs between 65-70#, Vet believes she is a Border Collie Mix - and would have been a good working dog - with sheep. She was 6 months old when my husband died, so she has become my dearest friend & companion - loves to travel and camp. She is nearly 13 years old (a scary age for my dogs - Chelsea's predecessor was 13 when killed by coyotes).

I have avoided getting a dog of the same breed as any of the other dogs we have had, because I was afraid of comparing them to the memory of their predecessor. So your getting a small Rotti, is a good idea. Just remember to check the size of the paws - they will grow into them.

Nal - Congrats! I am sure that Nitro will love you, dogs know these things you know. What a cool name too, Nitro ! Will be waiting for picutres of the newest addition.

Hi Nal
Just thought to let you know about your grandkids over on the word search page... under the heading of 'Animals in the Zoo'!

Nal, was glad to hear everything went well with the interview. Hope you have many happy years with your new addition to the family.

Nal ~ I ran into this cutie and though you might like him sweet huh!I can't wait to see your new baby!

Hello Nal - Do I understand correctly that you have a new puppy? Who is the little girl in the picture? She is just beautiful.

Hi Nal!
I was reading yesterday's posts and discovered you have a new member in the family
to little Nitro (who, I'm sure, won't be little for long) He's a very lucky boy to have such wonderful ''parents'' Congratulations to you all

I cant wait to see and hear about Nitro Nal!

Hi Nal! What a gorgeous flower & how clever is Nancy to have discovered the name of it! I've been thinking of you all morning as I believe you are bringing Nitro to his new home today. I am looking forward to coming to your page & finding his picture someday soon. I am so happy that you will have a new ''boy'' Rottie to add more love & licks to your home. sends her love to Nitro as do Rob & I.

Oh Nal! A new puppy! You are going to have so much fun with him! I love the name 'Nitro'! I am sending a hug for him! You neice is very cute, too. I am looking forward to seeing a picture of Nitro!!!!

Hi Nal, So good to hear some happy news about Nitro finding a wonderful family who will love and care for him until he's large enough to take care of them...and it won't be long before he becomes your fearless protector as you run (okay..walk, drive) through the Everglades finding wonderful flowers and other gifts of nature to photograph. I'm so happy for you and the rest of the family 'cause everybody knows about that hot Latin temperament.....LOL! Have fun...enjoy the love!

Nal, Nice music, you are so clever.

Nal...Nitro is one handsome fellow......Enjoy!

Just found your photo of Nitro on Flickr & have to tell you what a gorgeous dog he is! I showed Ebony & now she's in love! They'd make a great looking couple. Hope you're all having fun getting acquainted. Our family is very happy for your family. When will Kathy get to meet him?

oh Nal he is beautiful! I was hoping you had a photo,silly me ,thinking you wouldn't have a photo!

Nitro is adorable. Hope that you do not have to go at the pace of the Utube Nitro to keep up with him. Enjoy and Love.

Nal....Nitro is beautiful and such a lucky puppy to have been choosen by such a caring family,I'm sure he'll give you lots of pleasure.

Nal I am very happy to hear that you have your new puppy. I love the photo and I am glad to see you are using the camera again.

NAL, Nitro is a beautiful pup. Only question, just how did you get him to sit so still for the photo? You do lovely photos of your dogs and a black dog is not easy to photograph. This one, well, just look at his eyes! You captured this pup! Happy that Nitro found you!

Nal, Congratulations on the adoption of the newest member of your family. What a handsome lad he is. I hope he is settling in well with your family. How is Boo coping with a new dog?
My very best wishes to you and your family.
Vicki

Oh, Nal, Nitro is a real gem, and I just know you'll lavish much love and affection on him. How wonderful that you've found each other and I hope that Boo warms to your newest family member quickly. Sending you my warmest wishes and a big canine massage to Nitro.

Hi Nal~boy you can sure tell your a photographer,your amazing Nal
Did you use a bounce flash on Nitro? My camera is a strait flash and my pets photos the eyes glow in all my indoor shots,my old manual 35mm has a bounce on it and I could control it better.Nitro has the prettiest eyes Nal!

Hi, Nal!
Nitro is one good looking fellow and also so lucky to have been found & chosen by your family. I hope everyone is adjusting and enjoying each other, including Boo and your Mom. The photos you have taken of Nitro are great - as are all of your photos! Enjoy!

Nal~one word describes your sunset ''BEAUTIFUL''
thank you for sharing your photos... just amazing!

Good morning, Nal. I wonder if you are out 'exploring' with your camera & maybe Nitro? today. Thanks for asking about Ebony. She had her third dip for the mange yesterday. I feel so bad for her, but she tolerates it well. Sad thing is we can't get her wet in between dips & she was enjoying her dips in our pool much more than the dips at the vet. She's still on her antibiotics for the urinary infection. I am starting to have a sick feeling there may be some hidden anatomical problem. She doesn't seem to have as much energy as most puppies & sometimes I think I can see a sad look in her eyes. We're trying our best to make her healthy & happy. We love our sweet

Does Nitro live up to his name? Don't worry about slipping with the name. After 9 years, I stll catch myself saying Bubba. And remember, a little spoiling never hurts.

If I saw that snake like you did, I'd set an all time new record for high jump!
How's Nitro doing, last I saw he still had his eyes closed! Babies and puppies sometimes just won't cooperate. My grandson smiles and laughs all the time but get a camera in his face and he gets this serious ''What is that contraption on your face?'' look.

Happy to have been some small help nal. I hope that photo was taken on your longest telephoto lens, it looks too cloce for comfort. Come to think of it, if you were that far away why is is poised to strike?
Take great care please, 'cos there will be another one out there somewhere.

Hello again, Nal, and thanks so much for the birthday/anniversary wishes. I'm sending a big canine massage to Nitro and a feline version for Boo.

OMG Nal that water lily is gorgeous!if I've said it once I'll say it a hundred times your so gifted!
btw I got that photoshop and I have did some neat things with it,but I haven't gotten it figured out yet,like how to put them in my picture or document to access it ,I thought I had it and here it put the whole program in ?oh well I may need to buy the book to go with it

I'm glad you got a new puppy. Hope Boo will welcome Nitro! Love this photo. I haven't come over before, so I brought some spiced popcorn and merlot.

Nal, What a beautiful photo. The colors, the relection, I love it! What program do you use for framing? The whole thing is just great.

May I make a print?

Oh bless you Nal - you have such a wonderful artistic gift. Thank you for letting me share your world - truly awe inspiring images on flickr. Ok Nitro, settle down, I haven't forgotten you! - give him a rub on his chest bone for me please. Catch you later.

Oh Nal do forgive me, I've just read some of your back pages and realised about Rocko. I bring you a cutting of honeysuckle - for its glorious colour and scent, and shade for Nitro too when he wants it. (Unfortunately) I have many shrubs & plants throughout the garden for different friends; each one cheers me and offers something different through the day/seasons. Nitro will bring you much joy. Take good care. Rocko walks within you.

Nal, your water lily photo is absolutely stunning. I am totally in awe of your ability with a camera. Are you a professional? if not, you should be.
I'm glad to hear Nitro is settling in and that you occasionally call him Rocko - believe it or not I have actually been know to call my dog (Reggie) James. My youngest son (James) is not at all impressed! I suppose I can't blame him.
Best wishes to you and Jim - and Nitro and Boo.

Hi Nal~thank you for your help,I have a kodak program in and when I put my pics in it goes there,and I bring them in one at a time to edit,but I did order a book that a read reviews about and I hope it will be helpful,if not I will be on bended knees!I think I did get one pic in my documents/pictures to access?if I can get it on my page I'll let you know! Nal!

Nal~I did get it posted,but you know what this program is doing,its shutting down in the middle of a project,I saw in the reviews that is a big issue with the 5.0,do you have that problem?I didn't know it went through the internet to work,I don't like that,I would have done more with it but the darn thing keeps shutting down! anyway those are horses that a almish fella had working at our property pulling out timber,my husband took it ,I thought it turned out good and he got a kick out of me posting it to I think

Thanks for another beautiful photo Nal - nice way to start the day. And Wilson Pickett too, brilliant - saw him live, and Reetha Franklyn and Sam & Dave and Otis Redding ..... nice warm memories. Not too great today, have a chest infection - just got up to make my husbands sandwiches, shall go back to bed now - singing of course! Enjoy your day/evening.
