Hey  :hissyfit:! What about those of us who don't have dogs  :hmm:!



Poor Bill ...  :'(

Go to the nearest animal shelter, borrow one from a friend, or just pretend that you have one ...  :lol:

Anyhow, here's a picture of my dog, Rusty and his Playmobil counterpart from the Hunter's cottage (set 4207).

I'll pass on actually getting a real one for now due to having 2 cats, 2 lizards, & 1 Russian Tortoise, which are enough responsibility presently with health issues  :'(, but here are some of my Playmobil canine companions that some of you may have real furry family members that may show some resemblance to! BTW Richard, Rusty's beautiful  :love:!

This one seems the closest Playmobil equivalent to our dog, Zoe:
30 66 5810 - Dog, wolfhound

The ideal Playmobil version would be golden/tan and somewhat leaner, but this seems to be the only Playmo dog with "whiskers."

I love dogs!  I understand that dogs of "indeterminate parentage" tend to be healthier and smarter than purebreds (or so I've been told).  Where did you get her?

So far she has been very healthy and has an excellent disposition.  She originally came from Tennessee where she was found as a stray when she was only a few months old - she came to us through a rescue organization.

Beautiful dog, Richard!  What kind is he?

I don't have a dog, either.  I have decided to start collecting Playmopooches.  You have a nice collection as well as other pets.  Do your cats like to play with your Klickys and lose them?  I have had cats before, and they like to play with any small object.

Bill and KM, Rusty thanks you both for your generous compliments!
Rusty is an "island dog" who "found" us when he was just a little over a year old.

He was hungry, covered with fleas and a trip to the vet told us that he had heartworms. Fortunately, we caught the heartworms early and he was young and strong even though he hadn't eaten for awhile.

He's a real wanderer. Everybody knows him and he likes everybody. He loves to go on walks. He'll join any of our neighbors who are out walking for their daily exercise.

There's an island pub just down the hill. When Rusty is making his rounds, he usually stops by to say hello to all of his human friends. Occasionally, one of his many human friends will take him for a ride in an open Jeep (which is one of his favorite things to do) and bring him home.

Are we afraid of losing him? Nope! He always finds his way home. Also, the island of St.Thomas is only about 13 miles long. So, where is he going to go?

Rusty is a very happy dog!

BTW, an "island dog" is a mixture of the many breeds that have been introduced to the islands since the early colonial days. So, Rusty has a heritage that goes back for several hundred years.

Thanks for your comments and all the best,
Richard

I'm glad that Zoe is a rescued dog.  I support adopting dogs and cats from the pound or SPCA or any rescue organization.

Since I can't have a dog in my apartment, I may have to adopt some Playmodogs from eBay.   :lol:

Believe it or not, Jim ... Rusty doesn't like the water ... :eh?:

You would think that an island dog would love swimming around. But, not Rusty!

So, it looks like inter-island dogpaddling isn't in Rusty's travel plans.

The good news is that Rusty also doesn't want to jump into the swimming pool with us ... ;)

All the best,
Richard
