Friday Fun: Dogs for Days!
25 comments
For the first time, I have a dog to share!
My husband had a dog for 10 years and had joint custody with his ex-wife. She is still a good friend of ours (I call her my ex-wife-in-law) and she got her new puppy on Wednesday. His name is Brisket and we are his godparents / back up puppy-sitters / partial co-owners.
He is a tiny fluffy sentient pile of cotton balls.
HERE HE IS!
Here's two Atlassian pups on a hike this past weekend:
This is Luna, my 7 month old Samoyed. She's a little tomboy so she looks like a boy here. We got her as a puppy and she's tripled her weight since we got her :O. Hopefully, I'll be able to bring her to work when the new NY office is finished and becomes dog friendly!
My two lovable Carins! JoJo and Pita.
Dozer is my 3-year old Cane Corso. He looks scary, but he loves everyone.
This is hungarian vizsla that i adore, but it's of a brother of my wife :) I'm allergic to dogs, but I usually just take the pill and go cuddling!
You all have amazing dogs <3
I have two dogs now, my older one passed away this month, I'm still not used that I have "two", so I'm also sharing her pic here.
This is Babi, the one that left us, she was 12 years old, she was with us since day 1:
This is Kira, 8 years old. She has this name because I loved the anime Death Note and Kira's mother was a killer (like, she was capable to catch birds and other little animals very fast), so I decided to give her this name:
Last but not least my big baby Lessie, she is 3 years old and she literally acts like a kid, she sleeps in my bedroom every night, she likes so much to stay close to me and my family:
Love this thread of all the adorable pups! Here is my fur kid Max, he is 9.5 years old and we adopted him four years ago. I have worked remotely for 4 years so he is by my side every day except when I travel. Here are a couple of pics of him:
I love these two boys more than I ever thought my heart could grow. They're both shelter dogs and have their quirks, but they're a good pair. Barley, the dark brown one, is the leader and likes to herd, while Bruce, the tan one, is a goofball who listens very well. Barley pretends he doesn't like Bruce, but when another dog starts playing with Bruce then Barley gets jealous and starts herding Bruce away from the other dogs.
This was us this morning. They're not usually allowed on the bed but they made themselves comfortable and I didn't even notice until my alarm went off.
I'm a little late in sharing my critters this week, but I present, Ringo and Starr!
We got them around the same time, but we did have and name Starr first.
Ringo
Ringo is a 1.5-year-old half Pit Bull mixed with Australian Cattle Dog, Boxer, West Highland Terrier, Chow Chow, and "Supermutt." We know this because we actually paid for a DNA test for him. If you're interested in that, you can see his results here: https://my.embarkvet.com/dog/pupperingo
His mother was found in a trash dump in West Virginia, heavily pregnant with puppies. My mother, who is an angel, fostered mama and all 10 of her puppies. Ringo was the runt, and for a while, we weren't sure he would make it. When I came home to Delaware from Amsterdam for Christmas, I met this dude, and I fell in love with him. We immediately started the process to fly him to Amsterdam to be with us. He wasn't old enough to fly yet so my mom continued to foster him until he traveled to Amsterdam with my sister in March.
He loves his stuffed snake, destroying ice cubes but not eating them, and peeing on the pavement instead of the grass.
You can follow him on Instagram if you'd like!
Starr
Starr comes from Portugal via an organization here in the Netherlands which brings dogs from Portugal and Romania to the Netherlands. She comes to the Atlassian office 3 days per week and so she's an honorary member of the Community Support team.
She loves her Ducky, running with the bicycle, and sleeping in sunny spots like a cat.
She has also been tested on Embark, but is basically just your run-of-the-mill Portuguese street dog.
You can also follow her on Instagram.
This is Mokey Jones, my oldest daughter named him and at the time couldn't say "Smokey". We think with his name, he could be a very successful jazz musician (minus the whole being a pup thing). Lol.
He's our 6 year old English Chocolate Lab with a heart of gold. He's the biggest baby of the house (my 5 year old daughter snuggling next to him is one of his BFFs).
If he were human and played baseball, he would definitely be a shortstop. He has impeccable ball catching skills, is the snuggliest puppy, and has eyes that tug at your soul. He's my protector and is a bit possessive, yet at the same time, he's never met a stranger.
Hey everyone!
These are my boys, Ezio and Finn. They don't play together much but they protect each other very well at the dog park. They have the complete opposite personalities and it is GREAT.
Ezio is a ball fetcher, cuddle bug, all about mommy and grandma. This is a picture of him after I came home from my first summit in 2016. He loves my job cause it allows me to work from home and be with him all day! (if he could speak I'm sure that is what he would say) His birthday is 11/11/13 so he is going on 6 years young this year. He is not a fan of water, other dogs that take my attention, and grandma & I leaving for the store. He got his name from a video game Assassins Creed II. :)
This is Finn! He is the BIGGEST goofball, squirrel chaser, and cuddle bug. He loves being outside but likes to remind you he is there by giving you the face you see below. He is very independent but is a very good listener, he hardly ever needs a leash. He loves playing with other dogs and has the attention span of the UP! dog, my partner and I end up fetching the ball more than he does, or Ezio will go get it. He loves attention from anyone and everyone. His birthday is coming up in September and he will also be 6 years young this year. He got his name from Huckleberry Finn, he was going to be call Huck for short but we decided Finn fit his personality better.
Here is my clan. Westley and Buttercup...guess what movie?
Best friends since we introduced them. Westley is 15 months and BC is 3 Months. We can't even go for walks without all being together. Keeps you busy but since they play together its more you getting in the way when they are playing.
And yes, she is in charge even at 3 months.
Look at that splooting!! I love their little frog legs 
This is Eva & Gordy - Gordy is a 13 year old Chihuahua who runs the house.
Hey, this is Leny aka Lenislaw. He lives in Gdansk in Poland. He is 8 years old. He loves food, cuddling, walking, swimming and digging.
This is Nova, my Australian Shepherd! We use a shower cap to protect her big ears when she gets a bath. She loves using my couches as an obstacle course, playing with other pups at camp, and trying to talk to the cat who lives next door!
This is Ollivander Saxty (Ollie for short)
My husband and I adopted this little gorgeous guy from the Salisbury Dogs Trust.
He is 6 years old and loves his walkies. He's not overly fussed with food but loves a bit of play time and chilling out to music or watching tv (as per the second pic)
We Love him!
This is my cheeky chappy Murphy - a 7 month old Miniature Schnauzer 🐶
He absolutely loves people and other dogs and can't help but say hello (he gets very excited), he also loves coming to work once a week though and hanging out!
I have a Maltese Poodle named Rory after Rory Gilmore (we were originally going to get a girl dog). We were given a Dog DNA test kit for Christmas so will learn more about what type of dog he is very soon! He is very hyper so we say he has a little bit of terrier in him.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share picture of my girls!
This is Sabre, she's a German Shepherd x Rottweiler and was a rescue. Her birthday is 1 October and she's 3. She has serious daddy issues, she can't be more than 2 feet away from my husband at any time, but we knew she was going to have issues when we rescued her and wouldn't change her for the world!
We knew she was going to be a special kind of girl and she hasn't let us down!
These are our twins - Celeste on the left and Babushka on the right. They're Shar Pei x Staffordshire Bull Terrier, their birthday is 15 March and they're almost 4.
Our girls are still convinced that they're lap dogs, and no amount of telling them that they're not, stops them!
I have too many photos of them, it was such a struggle to find ones to put on here, I could have gone on for DAYS!!
I finally get to post on this as we got a dog.
