TerryB Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Mine was Boomer, a wonderful Golden Retriever who always came to the garage to help out when I was working in there. My son sent me this photo the other day of his helper, Wilbur, who likes to make sure the job is done properly. If you have a photo of your helper, share it here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenie Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 This is a replacement; and since he’s male and someone removed his front claws- he’s relegated to chasing the bad guys. His distaff predecessor had all her tools and spent many years “sleeping” on one car cover or the other. In her lifetime, we never saw a mouse- unless she brought us one! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Daisy has become my copilot. She has no qualms about taking over the driving duties. If she is fortunate to come in the shop when I'm under a car I can't hardly get rid of her. Daisy is 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bollman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Guess I should have taken a picture of the snake that got stuck on my sticky trap. But then it didn't have 4 legs. Second one I have caught on a sticky trap over the years. USe to have two shop cats that were brother and sister. They were suppose to keep the mice under control but were pretty worthless. One of them liked to sleep on the seat of the FarmOroad and I found a mouse nest under that seat. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture was taken back in 2017 a few months before we had to lay him down to rest. I miss him dearly. And yes he was a very laid back 85 pound diabetic lab and white shepard little pup. When I would be out in the garage working on the Packard he would be standing by the back door crying to be out there with me. Would drive my wife nuts.

Grimy Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Mochi the maltypoo (Maltese side dominant), 15 lbs, 21 months old, whom we acquired one year ago today, doesn't like the garage but loves to ride in ANYthing. Before we got him, he'd been in cars only to go to the vet and groomers and had only been walked in a townhouse commons. He can't wait to go out and sniff, but riding is the absolute best! Very well-behaved in vehicles. He replaced Rags, a poodle-dominant male maltypoo, who made it to 17 yrs and 4 months, attending 8 Pierce-Arrow Society meets and innumerable regional tours. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Ill tell a story, I usually have dogs and love them to death. When I bought my first house I dug a pit in the dirt floor and then poured concrete. Left a lip so that I could cover it with heavy planks. I worked out of that garage for years. The one problem was that it leaked and in the rainy season I had to pump it. It got to be kind of a greasy old mess but it served me well. (the first thing after I sold the new owners filled it in) One night I thought I heard a prowler in the garage so went investigating. There was a small white doggie in the pit, the poor thing was sitting on one of the tall steps and couldn't get out. I pulled the poor grease soaked guy out and he immediately ran away. I don't know whose dog it was but it never came back. I did get a nasty unsigned note on the door about having an attractive but dangerous nuisance thing, or something like that and I should be sued. I just figured that the poor little doggie was trespassing, but the anonymous complainer never materialized. This is my current "best friend", Bear. It is unfortunate that we as humans out live our pets by about ten to one. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgansdad Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The only friends,(true friends) who will never ask for anything from you except for your love! Everyone's little helpers are beautiful. To the ones of us who have lost our good friends, remember, they will be waiting (patiently) for that hug and loving pat on the head when we meet again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 This is Daphne my son’s other garage helper and very willing co-pilot. Daphne is always ready to ride along. I really appreciate all the photos and stories posted here. My dog Boomer was a faithful pal for his 14 years with us. He had a hard time figuring out what happened when I was hospitalized for nearly four months. When I came home you would have thought Santa had just come in the door with a giant bag of dog treats. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post reminds me of the quote that someone posted, on facebook I think - "A dog may be part of your life but to the dog you are its life" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
