So what happens when you start the lathe and cover them in more shavings?

[BobL]

Wimps all round I say. Somewhere I have a picture of our dogs laying in metal swarf. Probably only because there's not been any wood shavings lately and they just want to be near me. :D

Hi,
Bobby the younger of my two Jack Russells likes to stand where he gets showered with shavings, admittedly I don't turn.

Whippets like a nice soft matt :roll:

We lost our dog after 15 years at Christmas. She never liked hanging out with me near the tools until after she went deaf, and even then wasn't that interested. We have a new little girl joining the family next week. Very little. Chihuahua. I plan in introducing her to the workshop early.

Here are my shed dogs

They're laying right in the middle of the crossroads between my welding bench/forge/anvil/drill press and metal cutting saw.

This is our new addition. I reckon she looks like a shed dog.

Undoubtedly a rough tough shed dog ... but is she as tough as this ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmj0arZUusg

He's so tough he tries to bite the grinding wheel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXzi1t7KI0k

Don't have a dog yet, but this thread says exactly why I want one - shed company.

Gold!

My dogs love coming into the shed. It's like they want to know what's going on. They come running especially when they hear the hiss of compressed air and they try to attack the air nozzle. One dog especially likes the rattle of a spay can but then does nothing with it when I give her the empty ones If I leave the shed door open the younger dog brings in all manner of toys, old bones etc and wants me to play fetch with it so when I walk past the door I will boot a ball out and it's game on. Sometimes we play hide and seek i.e. put the dogs inside or out and hide some treats or a ball inside or out. After a long while they have a snooze on the floor right where I need them least to be. Still good fun though.

Many thanks to all you coves for this great thread. Off the farm now and in a Sydney flat I am enjoying the rest but do miss having dogs. Have many golden memories.
Mum gave me my first, in 1933, a Border Collie, "Bonzer", great mate. When I started school I rode and Bonzer cantered behind.
In my teens, he died and I have worked Kelpies since, great dogs.
Al the very best to you coves.

If you want to see a whole thread on our Border Collies (Willow and Skye! - Hey don't blame me for their names they were chosen by SWMBO) from when they were both pups until recently have a look here.

Is there not a law that says that wherever kids and dogs choose to park themselves, it will be in the least convenient spot for you ... as in directly underfoot?

[chuck1]

my dog has abandoned the shed since we moved and I got a thicknesser! he still barks at the bandsaw though!

She's gorgeous, Danny.

What's her name?

[danny.s]

She's gorgeous, Danny. What's her name?

Hi John

Her name will be izzy. Pick her up on Friday. I wanted Nacho seeing that she is a Chihuahua but got voted down. The family did agree on the name izzy while eating at Taco Bill though so that's fitting.

Danny

[danny.s]

Picked up Izzy today. Not the biggest dog in the world

Awww ... Danny.

Is that a shot of Izzy of of the interior of the house? I can't tell whether that speck in the background is a rough tough shed dog or a stray mouse.

First rule of portraiture ... fill the frame.

Have fun!

John

[danny.s]

Hi John Have to careful not to step on her. The photos I was taking were just not capturing how tiny she is, so I took this one to put her huge stature in perspective. I had to mow the lawn she didn't get lost.
