Those are the cutest ancient coins I've ever seen.

 

Dawgs are the best.

 

I've learned to like cats but I LOVE dogs!! Strange attitude for an ex K-9 military dog handler LOL

 

Dogs are indeed the best. I just adopted this cutie today

 

Congrats! That is fantastic!

 

Makes me miss my dog. His name was Nero (named after Emperor Nero), and was a chocolate Labrador. He passed away at age 12 of liver cancer. It hit me so hard that I haven't been able to adopt another dog, as much as I want one, because I don't want to have to go through that again. He was such a sweet and caring animal, and I miss him to this day.

 

That sucks man sorry bout your pupper. Ive always loved chocolate labs though very nice looking dogs

 

I LOVE dogs!!!!!!!

My girl Rosa(Rosie) had a birthday on the first of September. Here she is enjoying her "cake"!

 

We are hooked on this breed, Parson Jack Russell's , this is Lola numero 4 in line.
Always painfull to say goodbye when they have to put down, first one at 16 year, second at 10 , last one at only 7 years , all males who didnt listen,
Our first bitch who listens 100% , she is almost 1 year now, what a blessing.

 

Dogs and cats are both great (I grew-up with both) ... but currently, I've become more of a dog person (they like the outdoors, so it forces you to get off your butt and take them outside for a nice walk once in a while)

They both rock!!



Oh, and here are a couple of hound-coins to keep this post honest ...

 

I have a Boxer named Thor, now to keep him company a Rottie which is aptly named Loki. I have NO TIME for walks during months I work (April-end of Nov.) so to make it up to the boys, they get a 10 km. hike every day in winter months. We have snowmobile trails close to my house, so they can have fun "off leash" So far, I have mostly Rottweilers, these are big sucks and best described as the "3 B's...
Beauty/Brawn/Brains!!!! I only have one "Doggie " coin....sorry it is modern!

Doooooaoaaaaahhhh... I like this one! Nice John!

 

I only have two cats " nero" really the fat white and Hekor the killer of birds.

 

My cat was named Sabina. She lived to the ripe age of 21. Must be a record! Dogs can be found on coins, but cats? None that I can think of at the moment.
