Doggy Avatar

[Cygnus X1]

I figured out how to do the avatar.
That's our mid sized german shephard mix (90%)
She's one of the prettiest sheps I've ever seen.
Just smart enough to be a dope, though...
"Where's the doggy?"...chases herself around....
Can't get her to drop after fetching for anything, though.

She's cute.

Yeah, problem is, she knows it.

She's 5 years old, got her at the kennel, fixed.
I wish we could have bred her.

+1. She'll drop whatever it is you throw eventually when she learns that the game won't continue unless she gives it up.

Oh, yeah...she knows that one too...she comes back, I tell her to
sit, drop, lay down, she grips. Wants to tug of war. So, trying again, I take it, toss, she gets it, drops it right where she picked it up, and gives a look that says "there, I won"...

In other words, she wants it to end on her terms. So I chase her,
get the groundhog, and hang it in a tree where she can only look at it.

There, pup, I won.

It's a complex relationship, to say the least.

Dog are great...but the downfall is what I got going on right now.

I have a Boxer that is 13-14 years old an if you know anything about Boxers is that he is about 5 years older then he should be.With that said he has been sick for 3 days now and I think you and I can see whats going to happen in a day or so.
I can live without a pet but the gf an kids are upset which means I'm gonna have a puppy shitting and pissing in my house in the next few weeks.

Get like a 2 year old doggie...

Get like a 2 year old doggie...

risky prop in my opinion...especially with a family. Our beloved
shep fits in with two preteen boys, three cats, one of which is siamese, the bossiest breed ever, and two masters (my wife is the #1). She would have
been a bit lost if we hadn't got her very young, the siamese put her in her place quick, etc.

2 year olds are great for singles or just a couple.

Dogs are pack animals, they have to learn their way in the pack.

If your gonna have a bigger sized dog you need to get them young.I've had three Boxers and the one I raised from a pup was by far the best one and the brother of the one I got that is getting ready to die.I miss him.Not so much the other one.

Sorry to hear it, 8, It's a tough thing that an animal as great as the dogs we love don't get much time. Dang cats are alloted twice as much. My old siamese just turned twenty, bitchy and bossy as ever, but the most dog-like cat I've ever known. She even plays fetch better than the dog. She drops!

Alright...I saw what I was doing. Threw her groundhog, she brought it back. fine. she wanted tug of war. I turned away. I did this several times yesterday and today.
Just now,
Guess what...she brought me the groundhog, I just looked at her. She dropped it. I picked it up and tossed it. She got it, came back, SAT DOWN, and dropped it, and waited for me. Dang dog's smarter than me...I swear!
