Would love a huskie or malamute, but with my work schedule, until they come up with a dog that: 1) wears Depends,2) has no kidneys, or 3)  takes himself for walk and returns, I'll stick with the one cat I've got.

Most people can't handle Pistol's insanity and while he does get on my nerves from time to time, I wouldn't change him for anything in the world. He's like another kid to me, I just love that crazy ass dog!

Dude he's a rat terrior!  Anything else would be adnormal.  We we had a Jack Russel for several years and that dog was great, but not every body liked him.

On a side note.  We picked up another mutt from the pound.  Part Boxer part bullmastiff.

Best dog I ever knew was my old friend Bart, RIP.  1/2 Malamute Husky and 1/2 Black Lab.  He never had to be housetrained because he couldn't stand the warmth in the house for very long before he wanted back outside.  But when he wanted to come in the house, he had to shake his coat off outside first.  And when I fed him, I'd say sit!  He'd sit and I'd say, whad'ya say? and he'd say WOOF! and I'd say, how do you say it?  and he'd say  _woof!    God I miss him.  He died of stomach cancer on March 12, 2002

I had a huskey growing up, Hercules, RIP, too!    I loved that dog he was B&W w/ cold blue eyes.  He would scar that crap out of people, but all he wanted was luv.   After 17 year on earth, he died in his sleep.  They are great dogs, but require a lot of attention.

I had an Alaskan Malamute.  She was so pretty and very smart.  Someone stole her!    Now I just have to deal with Pistol, Cam's spunky little rat terrier.

My family dog passed away last january(2006).   Her name was Snuggles and she was an 11 year old lhasa apso.   

I have to admit, I have a lot of regret in how everything went down.    She didn't feel well months prior but it was never so bad that my mom or anyone thought she needed a trip to the vet.    Then in december it got really bad and when my mom took her in it was kidney failure.   The thing that scared us most when we first got her.   And what upsets me is how I just can't help feel like we let her down and how fast this happened.   Maybe it wouldn't have helped at that point, but the vet didn't even recommend trying a special diet for her.     I had done research and saw people using them for dogs with kidney issues.     And yes I realize a year has passed and I don't think about this that much, but when the subject of pets comes up it will always be on my mind.

And of course it didn't help that as I was getting ready to go to student teach on a friday morning that she died right in front of me.     I went in my parents room as I was getting ready to go to work and my mom explained how rough a night she had, and we decided we were putting her down and I would accompany her.   As I looked at our dog, I was petting her and I felt her heart stop breathing.

It just bothers me that we basically got the diagnosis two weeks prior to her death.   It all happened way too fast.

My younger sister(the one who was in that family pic I posted) got a border collie this past summer that is part of the family, but with my sister's october wedding, we won't see the dog that often.   

My mom was especially attached to Snuggles, and I looked for a lhasa this year to give to her as a christmas present within my budget but I didn't find one to my liking.    I'll probably start looking again for her birthday in june.

   We have an old-fashioned cream-and appricot Pomeranian; his face does not look as if  it has had an encounter with a wall, so he's way off the breed standard but beautiful. In fact, he looks like a miniature Samoyed. Teddy is in good health for a thirteen year old, but he's beginning to show geriatric symnptoms: hearing not what it used to be, occasionally loses it in the house, sleeps more and more. Taking him to the vet can be traumatic, not to mention bankrupting; wife suffers with him as if he were her child. Dread the day we're going to have to put him down. He's got an uncanny canine medical wisdom: licks just were we get cut or bruised, knows exactly what part of our anatomy is freezing and needs body warmth. Best watch-dog we've had; barks like a hooligan when strangers approach our property. Home won't be home without him. Professor Melon

I have a big ol' spoiled rotten Golden Retriever... who hasn't quite gotten the concept that she's a retriever and that means when I throw a ball, she should go get it...

When I was in High School My aunt had a 120lbs female golden named Molly, and she didn't grasp the retreve part. she'd just stand there and look at the ball. I had a lot of fun with her.... I use to pick up chicks with her, sadly my aunt had to put her down she was had eplisie and was having seizures daily... was getting painful so they put her down. I miss my Molly.

When we get a house I want to get a Great Dane and call him Scooby Doo. And if he runs away on me I want to stand on the door step and say "scooby Doo where are you.

I was thinking just yesterday that if my last name were Tarded, I'd name my son Roy.
