The Dog Lover Thread

[Color Me Badd Fan]

There's no cat lover thread, nor should there be. But I wanted to post this picture somewhere.

Just picked up our lab today from his session. I felt a little guilty when I dropped him off. "Go on boy. Don't worry. They're just going to cut your testicles off". He doesn't seem to mind.

bringing animals to seminary? someone is running out of material already.

She actually was a distraction and likely won't be back. All the kids know her and asked me to bring her. She loves them all too much, however, and was just too excited about the whole situation to settle down.

It's annoying when people take pictures of their dogs faces. Dogs aren't very photogenic.

I will not pass your hurtful comments on to her, you insensitive meanie.

Oh really? We got our frenchie from a local breeder but other breeders offered to ship a puppy to us via airplane. I don't doubt your sisters experience but I imagine there are exceptions, too. In any case, our vacations will be dog free. TIA PAC for watching Posey!

Another thing to consider for brachycephalic dogs is that they often snore, although I just find it funny.

Could also be that the flight for my sister's dog is 8 hours. Your flight may have been much shorter.

Devildog also has a Fr. Bulldog.

Our Australian Shepherd, at Christmas time.



I took her to Seminary today. The kids loved it.

Just an interesting dog tidbit. Airlines won't take brachycephalic (smushed faced) dogs. Too risky – they die too easily in cargo. My sister found this out when she tried to take her boston terrier on a family vacation to Utah. She lives on an island so unless she wants to kayak over, the dog won't be coming along.

Something to think about when you're shopping for a dog.

We got an 11 week old French Bulldog last Friday and had a somewhat stressful weekend but now getting into a good routine. I've never had a dog before so I'm still learning how to raise a puppy, but so far so good. Her name is Posey.

Somehow I missed this thread. We love dogs. We have two at the moment, both lab mixes. They are both rescues so we are not totally sure on the mix but we think the 9 year old is lab/chow and the 4 year old is lab/boxer.

They are good buddies.

She looks like she is already in love!

I know several people who have 'Rescued Racers', and I want to get one myself one day. They are wonderful dogs.

My uncle in Las Vegas has a pair of them. They typically spend all day sitting on large pillows on the floor in the living room, and are content to sleep most of the day. You have to be extremely careful when walking them at first, because they will bolt after anything they see (they are trained to chase). If you have a schoolyard or a park nearby that is completely fenced, you can let them off the leash to run. Otherwise it can be very dangerous because they don't know about roads, etc.

And PAC, my son's dog is also named Lou or Louie. (Sometimes I call him Lucifer..)

Yes, I am very aware of their instinct to run. This has been my only hesitation. For the last week we have been trying to instill in our children the importance of closing the front door behind them. He seems like a really sweet dog and has been tested with kids. I'll post pictures once we get him.
