what dog to get? 1 week ago

i want a pure breed, but just 1 dog. i’m debating between a leonberger, a dobermann pinscher, a pit bull, and a husky. ah! decisions, decisions…



Untitled 1 week ago

so, i just moved back in with my parents at age 19. i finally convinced my family (with the help of my 15 year old brother) that it would be a good idea to adopt a puppy while im here. i literally just now faxed the application to the local ASPCA. now im just waiting to see if i can spend some time with the little guy i want, Ace! wish me luck, they dont contact you if they dont think you will be a good fit. so its all unclear. but im crossing my fingers!



pokey_jo if a pinata made a noise, that's what it would sound like.

This will happen 1 week ago

When I get married and have my own house. Pet deposits are too expensive.

Plus, I have to make the transition from being a cat lover to a dog lover. lol. I want to love both!

random dog picture found on the 'net 3 weeks ago

Not sure of the breed I’ll want yet; its not until I actually have a place on my own that I want to do this.



Impulsive? 3 weeks ago

I used to work at a vet clinic, but had to leave because of allergies. I now live in a condo with beige carpets and thin walls, and I work a 9-5 job. Logically, this is no place for a puppy, and I’m not in any stage in my life to add a puppy to my life!

But all I can think about is adopting a dog, maybe an older dog, who would be chill and trained… Maybe it’s an impulsive urge but I think I would be a wonderful pet owner.

Are they in it together? 4 weeks ago

I think dogs all around Phoenix have heard that I have been wanting to get a dog and they are sending out their finest, cutest and smartest dogs out to greet me. I went for a hike today and saw the BEST DOGS EVER! I want to take my dog hiking! How cool would that be?
I’m in heat for a dog. Although my funds won’t allow it…sniffle, sniffle…

Wake up! 1 month ago

I don’t remember what triggered this – I think it was a dream or something – but the urge to get a dog hit me a lot harder the other day, and I suddenly wanted to push ahead with this goal.

Then I realised what steps I’d need to take before I can do it. First off, it requires me to move to a place that allows pets – preferably with a yard or something. Then I’d need to check out how much owning a dog actually costs and see if I can budget that kind of thing in.

Not to mention that, I don’t know how I’d travel as much as I do – on week-long holidays and so forth – without having someone to look after it while I’m gone.

Those are pretty big hurdles that I need to have a good think about before I can even consider owning a dog.

I love dogs! 1 month ago

I had an english springer spaniel when I was a kid, and I loved her more than words can say. when she passed away I couldn’t even imagine ever getting a new dog, because no one could ever replace her. She passed away six years ago, and now I am finally ready to have a new dog. I will always remember her fondly and nothing can take away my love for her. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to love a new dog. I’m not sure which breed to go for yet, but the “Eddie dog” is definitely a possibility. You know, the dog from Frasier? A Jack Russel Terrier. They’re so cute!



Untitled 1 month ago

I know that at this point in my life it wouldn’t be a good idea to get a dog. I want to travel, and need to be more stable before I get one, but I absolutely can’t wait until I do get one. Luckily, my parents have a dog that I get to see occasionally.
