Dogs ( Archived) (37)

Dear Patiently...sorry to hear about Sadie, I have a fawn and white 80# male Boxer named David Allen, and he stays by my side..great when you're a single lady to have this kind of protection, course there's always my rifle if they try hurt my dog..and I have a clan of kitties I've rescued over the last two years..but that's another thread I'll have to start later..

No pets where I'm at even tho it's stated on the paperwork "No dogs"
We had a german sheppard named Rex when I was a kid you couldn't keep tied up. It didn't matter how big a chain used, he would snap it. Collars, choke chains and even halters he would slip out of. When we brought him into the house, he was a good dog. You could lay a baby on the floor, he would go over and lay next to it.

As the offspring of a former Humane Society director, I'll spit my two seconds.

Odds are good that landlords and folks in general would be more accepting if owners were more responsible.

Stereotypically, you don't take time to train the dog, it's a bad dog and they're disposable. Don't have room for them or they're not allowed, they're disposable. They trash the place for lack of training, dog gets beat, disposable, and upon leaving the place is left in shambles. Or they're left to roam and aggravate the neighborhood and owner doesn't give a flip.

Fight for rights, but enforce more harsh penalties for careless, reckless owners that haphazardly get that "cute little puppy" out of boredom or without thought to the responsibility involved.

Yup, I'm done.

I agree 100%. Getting a pet is a serious responsibility, and a well-trained dog is an excellent companion.

OMG, that is just too cute.........I know someone who has a dog named "Kitty".

Yes Dogs are great. I like Labrador dogs the best.

It's so hard keeping them in the city, there's no real place they can run. We do have dog park Sundays in the AM but even the Dogs feel like they are living a penned up life.

I look forward to living out of the city and being able to keep dogs in a kind and freer way.

Grimly is so cute and that's a great picture of the two of you snoozin on the couch. My boy Blue is 1/2 black Lab and 1/2 German Shepherd, he's 8 years old and I agree with you 100% that he's just as much a part of my family as anyone else is.

Here, here, "long live the dog"

Take care.

THAT, is that!

My roommates dog is Jazzy, part jack russell part terrier. I never would have wanted a dog until I had this one. It is very well trained. The landlord replaced the carpet before me because of a dog that was not well taken care of. If you love your dog, then take care of the damn thing!

I have the best pup ever!! He is an English Hound named Stryder Barrett!! He is the best, I rescued him from the pound and he's my best bud!! He snuggles up with me at night, I wouldn't trade him for the world! Well, I'd trade him in for someone very special, but hopefully he loves my hound as much as I do!! He's an excellent guard doggy!!
