Oh boy oh boy oh boy
I havent heard for sure yet but I'm most likely getting a puppy sometime in the next few days.

EDIT: IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! I get her tonight!!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may sick up a rainbow.
Don't worry. This seems to be a natural thing.

If it's a pug then you can blow into their mouths and their bums will make a jazz like trumpet sound that can be manipulated by applying pressure on their spines.

or if it's a normal dog then kick it until it sicks a rainbow, obviously.

Don't do it.
It'll tie you down, cost you a fortune then die and leave you distraught. That's what dogs do. Or is it wives? I forget.

wait till it's a bit older
then put it in a dress. Funniest thing in the world to watch (I'm talking a human dress, not some sort of dog dress)

I think I'm going to get her a tutu
and some bling
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:40, Reply)

I should clarify
the dress thing as far as I know works on border collies. I cannot vouch for other dogs, but put a woollen knit dress on a border collie and it will go absolutely insane
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:42, Reply)

Get a Jack Russell.
Funniest dogs evah!
( girlinthehole, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:40, Reply)

er
no

she is a lab/pit mix and soooooooo sweet
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:44, Reply)

Take it to training ASAP
A well trained dog is far more fun than one with an independent agenda.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:40, Reply)

^this.
If my parents had bothered to train their Jack russells properly at the beginning then they'd be fucking ace now.
( girlinthehole, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:45, Reply)

Exactly.
Getting a dog to 'sit' when asked is easy, getting one to realise it plays second fiddle to the owner can be more difficult.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:48, Reply)

sweet, didn't even think about that bit
will definitely check it out, ta
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:49, Reply)

So this dog
Is part Lab and part Pitbull?

You'll either have the worlds most placid anti-fighting machine, or the worlds brightest killer.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 13:56, Reply)

all of the puppies are soooo laid back and sweet
I held her brother forever and he just sort of chilled out
I wanted him but someone else had already picked him out of the bunch
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:09, Reply)

So she'll spend the rest of her life with you
With the constant unspoken reminder that, much as you love her, she's still not her brother...

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:12, Reply)

Don't mind me, I'm just winding you up
I must admit I'm a little jealous - I'd quite like a dog but I don't think I'd have the time or the patience to take care of one properly right now.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:13, Reply)

I didn't think I did either but I'm home in the evenings, I get up early enough to take her for a walk
plus I come home for my lunch break so she'd be alone for about 4 hours then with me for about 45 minutes then alone for 4 and with me for the rest of the night

I think that's sufficient, I know people who keep their dogs in a kennel at home for 8 hours or longer.
I'm taking this bitch everywhere I go.
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:16, Reply)

Make sure she's got lots of toys to play with and stuff to chew on.
She'll be fine.
( girlinthehole, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:19, Reply)

deffo
I hate the idea of keeping her in a kennel or a crate, I think we're going to give her free range of the dining area, lots of toys and a big fluffly pillow
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:21, Reply)

You are going to leave a part lab part pitbull home alone?
I hope you have a big fuck off cage to keep her in.
My mates lab puppy ate through the bottom of the kitchen door and devastated the dining room.
Completely mental.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:22, Reply)

I'm going to cover the floor in fly paper so she can't go anywhere

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:24, Reply)

OMG! Gonz is going to be so jealous.
Btw! it's going to be expensive getting it spayed, injected etc.
( girlinthehole, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:08, Reply)

gawrsh I know
I'm going to have to start saving up now to get her shit taken care of
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 14:10, Reply)

Read up on it
Seriously, the number of people who have a dog (or any pet really) and yet know absolutely sweet fuck all about them is dreadful.

Oh, and don't give it chocolate. Chocolate can do terrible damage to dogs.

Especially if you spill it on them.

Congratulations.
That will be one muthafucken strong hound. Labs are bad enough but add the pitbull in?
I see a chest harness and weightlifting in your future.

don't forget to sellotape it to your back so when you fall over backwards you'll be saved and carried like a leaf back to an ant's nest.

Don't. Just don't.
and if you must - get an acre of land for it, and make sure it is socialised to /with other dogs from day 1.
Also - don't get a dog.

Dogs ftw
My mother has a dog which is a small "yappee" thing, my father has a German shepherd. I know which I'd rather have.
