Roar!

JerseyKRS said:

When I got home yesterday, I was told very solemnly that the children had something to tell me. I steeled myself for a broken window, an "F," something bad.

The news, carefully prepared before my arrival home?

"We want a puppy!"

@ all the cute pix. Hard choice to make, because they're all so cute.

Careful..I was corrected here before for calling my mini Schnauzer a terrier.

Just don't put it in a crate, goddammmit!

Dogs are safer in crates.

YOU'RE INHUMANE!!!!!

FunkMistress said:

Well I have been around dogs all of my life. I have seen ppl that thought it was wrong to keep a dog in a crate until the dog is home alone and destroys the house.

Electrocution and hanging from the blind strings is in humane.

shanti0608 said:

Haven't you ever seen There's Something About Mary?

Electrocution brings them back to life.

To each their own in the end. I cannot tell ppl how to raise their children.

Everybody knows I'll say this, but: Don't get the cross. It's like breaking a piñata open, you never know what's inside and by that I mean you don't know what quality dogs they used to breed your puppy. A purebred puppy should have a pedigree and you should demand to look at it well beforehand, a serious breeder plans their litters a long time and the pedigree will tell you what degree of inbreeding there is (despite the fact that there are so very many dogs available of every possible breed there is almost always inbreeding to some extent), personally for me only 0% is acceptable but many "dog people" feel that 4,25% or less is ok.
Jersey, what you REALLY should do before getting a dog is settle on a breed (Lhasa!!!!!) and then ask a breeder for some hair and skin scrapings from a dog. Then you take medical tape and tape it to your inner arm, and your daughter's, and leave it there for a couple days. It's a bit gross and not very scientific but it is the best chance you have of knowing beforehand whether your allergies will react to the breed. Shampoo and grooming also play parts, get the mutt to a groomer regularly and have them trim the dog down cos if you're not into dog shows (and we all know you aren't) then a shorter trim is much more manageable.

Good luck and get the mofo Lhasa! I agree with FunkMistress Erin on the look of the others. They're horrible, absolutely horrible.
