I want a new dog!

February 12, 2017 02:38AM
I want a new dog, who barks and might have issues. Maybe gets stupid.

I want a new dog, because the one I own might live about 3 years, He's not as nasty as he used to be. He was all that and a box of cracker jacks for years.

I want a dog because I want a cuddle. I want a dog that barks at anyone who drives on my property.

My dogs come from shelters or the asshat who decided to dump the dog. My baby girl, Sugar was the dumped dog. Some idiot dumped her and her puppies. She showed up when she needed water and the puppies were dead. My first day with Sugar went like this, Are you a nice dog? Do you know how to get in the car? Oh, I forgot , I live in Texas...do you know how to load up?

When asked to load up. she was in the car. I took her to the vet I trusted so I could make sure she was healthy. The vet asked if I could leave her for a little while. When I came back, Sugar wanted me and only me.

My other guy, Pilot; If I could have found his original owners; I would've called the cops. His nickname is Stinky Butt because he didn't trust me or the dog named Sugar. It took almost 2 years for him to be a nice guy with anyone besides me. My father mentioned this week he doesn't bark at him anymore and doesn't try to bite him. That took 9 years.

My baby is old. His personality isn't the best, but it's his personality. As the song sings, He's MIne!

I hear you MA Smith. I lost my best friend about three months ago now. Zephyr was a 200 pound Harlequin Dane. I still have my female Dane. We both became immediately depressed. I worried about the surviving Dane so I decided to get a dog. Well not a dog. A darn puppy. I saw this disheveled looking thing on the internet and three days later I was driving to Texas to pick her up. She, Jo Jo, is a Cavipoo; King Cavielier Spaniel and Poodle. I decided to go with a puppy because I wanted longevity. But, I've got to tell you. I completely forgot what it was like to have a puppy (she was 6 mo when I got her). If she isn't sleeping, she is looking to destroy something. She has become a companion for my Dane, which was my goal. It has been completely weird having a small dog. I will probably continue to foster Danes, but I won't own one again in my lifetime. How sad is that, to put that into words. I was at the dog park today where my boy first went into congestive heart failure. It hurts to remember, but he was so happy to be there that last day.

Edited to say: I MS to feed my dogs!

I love Danes, but I know their life spans. I can't imagine being in love with a dog and knowing how fast they die. You, taking on rescues, oh my gosh you're the person. I'd love to take on a dane , but I'm not sure I could deal with me and the crying when they go down.

If it makes you feel any better, I live in TX and it's all I can do not to grab a dog while on the road.

Now that I have done rescues, I'm not sure I'd take on a puppy again. You have and it probably has the best home ever. It has nothing to do with shoes, or anything else the puppy needs to teeth on; it would be all about getting up at all hours of the night for party time, aka, potty time.

I MS to feed the animals.

I have a dog named Missy too! Had her for almost 11 years now. I can't imagine being without her, but I don't know if I would be able to get another dog either....at least not for a while. sad smiley

Research first. I was a petstore merchandiser for a year or so and many came into the store with problems that were listed front and center as breed specific issues. The most common issue I found was as beautiful and loveable as huskies are they were bred for cold weather and for pulling stuff.

I have to take my tri-color Corgi in to have him put down because of cancer of the jaw. He was a dog dropped off in the country that a friend of the spousal unit found out about and told us. He had heartworms and prostatitis. So he started out Hi Maintenance. He has been a good doggie for the last 11 years.

My heart goes out to you. My Rotti mix was a dumped dog. She loved me immediately and was my favorite girl for years. Then she had health and personality issues. I put her down because of the personality problems. I couldn't trust her any longer. This dog loved people. Her favorite people were men or small children. She cuddled cats. Then she went stupid with her family pets. I couldn't control her with anyone on my property. It hurt but I put her down.

My heart goes out to you. It sucks when you put the pets down.
