We lost our beloved Yellow Lab Maggie a couple of years ago and we're finally ready to have another dog in our lives. Meet Bonnie. She's six weeks old, so we'll have to wait a couple more weeks before we can bring her home.

Nice looking pup. Enjoy their puppyhood while you can. They get older fast.
This is Zora, a Belgian Malinois. Named after a Belgian automotive engineer.

Those are very smart working dogs. I have seen them as herding dogs and police dogs. Such a beautiful animal.
I'm about to call HR on my 'working dogs'...
They're super creepy and are trashing the furniture!

Hopefully. A friend's goldendoodle got bigger but he did not grow up.
He can stand up and look him in the face, and he (doggo, that is) expects stand up hugs from everyone who comes into the house. Except he is not exactly well coordinated enough to be a biped so there is a lot of flailing involved.
It was funny the first time he tried that on me. I'm a lot taller. He looked confused, like "I am standing up like a people, how come I can't lick your face from all the way up here?"
Ten weeks old. When she's not sleeping, she's trying to eat the house. We're back to Nylabones and squeaky toys strewn around the house like Legos. It's been 17 years since our previous dog was a puppy, and I'd forgotten how much energy they have and I'm surprised at how much less energy I have. Wouldn't trade her for the world!
Happier times. We lost Charlie (on the left) back in November and then Penny in January. It's the first time since 1994 that we are without dogs. It's been tough, but we're taking a break for a while.
Our baby is 1 now (Jan 31) And her sister is 2.5. So they make beds bigger than a king?
Olive, our Old English Bulldog, recently turned two. Man, she's getting big.
Also, she is obsessed with playing frisbee. If she's not sleeping, she's borking at me to go outside and play.
I've been trying to train her NOT to jump, since she could blow out an ACL on her rears, but she's still determined to jump for it. Note that she is somehow airborne in that pic. As long as she lands on her fronts, she's good (and she did here, thankfully).

Sophia.
Another stray turned up at my house. Not chipped, collar was a leash with the hand hold around her neck and she had grown enough it had to be cut off. She's staying if not claimed.

Was workin on the truck at John's. Wasn't sure how she would behave in the Miata and wanted a semi-local test before she went on any long trips
I was looking through pictures for something else and found one from the day we adopted her. Even tranq'd she was terrified of us.
Thankfully, she's gotten comfortable with us.

The differences are pretty amazing.

How they are now:
Since this is a dog thread, thoughts on one dog or two? Wife keeps saying that our lab needs a buddy cause he always gets excited when the neighbor's dog gets loose and comes to our yard to play. I think of it as a twice the upkeep, twice the food, vet trips, etc. Thoughts?
In reply to Placemotorsports :
I will never have just one dog. Two is the minimum. They play together, sleep together, and keep each other entertained. We currently have 4.

It really depends on the dog. My last sidekick didn't give two craps about any other dog or any other human. She was my fart. I would say she was more "workplace associate friends" with my girlfriend's dog than actual buddies. After she passed away I adopted this husky and she loves playing and running and wants to be friends with every dog she sees.
This is our new livestock guardian dog.
Say hello to Oscar.
He's very eager to please and is learning fast.
He's also a very good boy.
