Dogs!

Talk about dogs, because they are awesome. Smelly and sometimes stupid, but awesome.

Although I love cats, at heart I am a dog person (see my avatar), because how affectionate and loyal they tend to be (there are exceptions, obviously). If I ever get a big enough place to live, I want to get a golden retriever. Apparently they are very gentle.

Here, have a cute dog video.

I find that video funny cause my dog cry all the time. Seriously, she doesn't bark, she cry instead. You could say it's an advantage.

But yeah, whenever someone leave the house for more than 15 minutes, she loses her shits when said someone return.

She sounds a little insecure. How old and what breed is she?

Insecure? Nah, she just like people and is happy when there's people.

She's about 2 years old and is a puggle.

Really, it's just that she cry instead of barking. Not sure why, she tried barking about three times since she was a pup but it didn't seem to stick.

Ah, I see.

Puggles! Gotta love them.

Except when they do that

Which mine did too. When she was younger and still not housebroken there wasn't any cage that could restrain her I swear. She even opened one of those closed smaller cage, I have no idea how.

Now my youngest brother is annoyed because she found out that his door doesn't close well and she go to see him even at times he'd rather not. Well, that and the pup has an obsession with my brother's socks. She won't touch/sniff/look at my slippers or any other socks laying on the ground, but when my brother comes home with his hockey gear, she always dive in his bag to get his socks. Pretty funny considering said bag could contain her 10 times over.

Speaking of pugs,

Is it just me or do pugs just look sad by default?

Always look sad. Unlike my dog, which just looks fat. She spends most of her time sleeping or chasing socks. Despite my goading she has yet to bite the ankles of people who come into my house.

I don't like Pugs cause I think they look dumb as shit because of how their eyes are placed. But that's just me, I'm happy someone crossed a beagle and a pug together, cause the beagle straightened the eyes of the pugs. Also, poor pug.

Mine always look like she doesn't give a fuck OR like she's sad. Especially funny in that one picture my dad took of her being thrown in a snow bank.

Oh I have a dog, or at least the family does, he's a big friendly thing. My Landlady has two dogs one is very hyper active and attention seeking, and likes pets, and still jumps on people (though only well outside now), and the other is an old shy thing.

We've got a sheltie and he looks like this◊ - that picture was from around Christmas time, and he loves cardboard tubes.

Aww, he's so fluffy!

I've had lots of dogs in my life, but my favorites are those i've had when I was a wee lad.

Really good dogs. Extremely protective of their family and affectionate.

If I ever get dogs again, it's one of these I want.

I got a Jack Russell Terrier. She's one year old.

We bought her from what we later found out was a puppy farm (We paid, then collected her). My dad saw the conditions and said he was half-tempted to go back later and take all the dogs out and bring them all home.

My dog HATES being left alone for more than five minutes, and once you're back, she refuses to go away.

She still has nightmares D:

My dog◊. He's a German Shepherd mix. We got him at the pound when he was about five months old.

Well, if we're gonna start posting pictures: wee-puppy first snow◊. She liked it surprisingly.

Current day snow◊. She still likes it alright.

That breed is odd, every time I stop looking at the head and look back I keep expecting a German Shepherd's head. Not saying I don't like it.

Jesus arachnid, did you cover a whole race of dog in webbings?

My family had two labs when I was younger, called Mökö and Luru, after a Finnish children's book.

One time when left alone in our apartment, they played with a ball together and the ball rolled under a sofa. They couldn't reach it, so they dug through the couch to get to it.

Darker side of dogs:

When handled wrong, they can be bloody damn dangerous. Luckily enough the reporter only got minor injuries, but man, that must have been scary.

Howling puppy!

I am very much a cat person, and have a mild phobia of dogs. Nevertheless, I am very, very fond of big gentle dogs, and think them an epitome of cuteness. Tiny helpless things are not half as cute to me as a huge and dangerous creature that still acts gently.

I've lived with a dog or two in the house for almost my whole life (3 black labs, one mutt—we think she was a mix of rottweiler and border collie). Our last one died a year or two ago, and I'm definitely starting to miss a canine presence. The next one my mother gets will probably be a rescue greyhound. The ones I've met were very sweet, though a newf seems like it would also make a good pet, if rather slobbery. Not so keen on lapdogs.

This is my dog.◊ Or rather, my family's dog. Sorry about the crappy cell phone picture.

Her name is Morgan. She's a sweet little thing, but she's clingy as hell and she barks when she gets bored. Still love her, though. And yes, she does love to sit in baskets of laundry.

She's a Coton de Tuliar, which is basically another kind of small white fluffy dog. She's about the size of your average cat. We have a small house, so a big dog wasn't really an option.
