Watchoo talking 'bout Willis?

I adopted a dog this past Thursday, which means I get to feel morally superior to everyone for a week or two. His name was Willis but I thought, what a gay name. Then I thought, wait, hold on, that's not politically correct, so then I thought again, was a lame name. Because nobody gives a shit about the lame.
I changed his name to Lucas, he wasn't responding to Willis anyway so I could've named him Sean Hannity for all he cares.
Should've named him Spotty...
He wasn't my first choice. I much rather prefer a larger breed like a Pit Bull, but the building doesn't allow large breeds because they're ignorant fuckers. I was gonna get a Dachshund type dog, but before I was able to get her, she was adopted. It's a shame, I had a lot of female dog jokes prepared. Every night when he goes to sleep, I whisper to my dog, " You were third best, boy...You were third best...One single effing mistake and it's back to the shelter, hear me? Love ya."
I've spent way more money than I thought I would on him, and this is just the start I'm sure. On the bright side, I didn't get a brain parasite from a cat, so it was a good choice of pet. He also kinda has a smart ass face, so you know....Fits with me.
If you go to websites looking for training tips, there's HUGE fights over whether to use positive only training, or negative training, or a mix of the two. I'm lucky that my girlfriend knows about this stuff and has pretty much brainwashed me to her way of thinking.
Which is why I use this, the prong collar. Trust me, it's way better than it looks. You can read about it if you don't believe me. But I have to confess, part of the reason I like also like other than it being an excellent training tool, is that is really pisses off the cuddly-rainbowy people, and what I can say, I'm just an asshole.

For those wondering, he's a Jack Russell Terrier/ Rat Terrier mix, according to the shelter, but I think he has a bit of Beagle in him. Alright, I hope I haven't opened the gates to a flood of people posting about their pets. Thanks for indulging me if you read this post.

For a moment there, I thought your dog had the crazy eyes. What happened to Dogo love?

Cool ! I’m not a certified trainer but we have rescued and re-homed many dogs over the years with success. What we have found to work is a combination of making sure they know you are Alpha, lots of affection when there is good behavior and a swift kick in the butt when they need it. I use a rolled up newspaper and ignoring their pitiful attempts to get back on my good side for a few minutes to reinforce. Kind of like raising kids except you won’t get CPS called on you for leaving your pup at home alone for hours.
Enjoy ! Dogs can be such an enrichment to our lives. You won’t find that look of unconditional love in their eyes many other places. Plus with this little guy you can blame him for the SBD’s when your girlfriend is around. I don’t think you could get away with that with a Dogo.

As nice as a non-Spurs-related post goes. I’ve always wanted a beagle or a basset hound, but my girlfriend always tells me I can’t even take care of myself. That, of course, is an unfair assessment. I eat, shit and sleep without having to be told to do so. And I don’t do any of those in the couch. I demand a dog.

Very nice choice of dogs, though they tend to be a bit loud. Just wear some Old Spice and show her who’s the man of the house or apartment.

I refuse to fall into your entrapment. Your collusion with her is not appreciated. If she also told you anything about shitting in my shorts the other day, that is not true. I will have none of that. Not true.

If you hadn’t wrote that…..this could have been worse.
I just bought these collar bandanas on amazon for my dogs. My boxer got a Texas one and my Boston Terrier got a Spurs one that is a little too big and looks like a cape. My St. Bernard statue was left out. They are pretty nice with loops for a leash and metal brads for the little tab and everything. The Spurs one is really reflective on the silver part too which is kind of nice for at night.
I think it is a good piece of Spurs pet merch if that is your thing.
I might consider it later when I’m done spending on the never ending list of things I need for the dog. How’s your Boxer? I heard they’re really sweet dogs.

She is awesome. She is playful and is very good with all humans. She is weird with other dogs though. One, she tries to box with every other dog and most dogs don’t want to get punched in the face. Owners at the dog park usually don’t like dogs to play “rough” either so we had to stop taking her. Two, she refuses to let other dogs sniff her for the most part and that creates some weird dominance issues. She is kind of weird, but she is really smart, obedient, and sweet.
Boxers are awesome! Seems like your dog has the same issue as ours. She’s a 6-yr old Yorkie who is anti-social, when it comes to other dogs at least. She loves people, heck, I think she probably thinks she’s another person. Wish I had pictures of her in her Spurs jersey, but here’s a couple of shots of Banana Pepper-Roni Potts Esq. We just call her Peps/Pepper most of the time, but that is her registered name…yes, it’s derived from Pepper Potts (Tony Stark’s secretary, for those Marvel fans keeping tabs).
Pepper w/her daily routine. Yes, she sleeps like this half the time.
Pepper’s favorite dog thing to do, stick her head out the window.
Little Peps looking up after a nap, looking surprised.
Pepper sporting the self given, emo look.
On a side-note
dogs are my greatest fear in life. I just completely freak out whenever a dog is around.

I got bitten by dogs 3 or 4 times in my life. Once by a totally random attack from a stray dog while I was walking on the street, and afterward I would be afraid of dogs for a while and then it would pass, but I can understand why some people might be afraid of them. In a way it makes more sense than people who are afraid of sharks.

whenever I see a dog
I flashback to when I was four years old and my aunt’s Rottweiler was chasing me around her yard. It was not playing around either, it was snarling and biting me savagely. Blood was running down my legs so much it stained my, at-the-time, white shoes. I had never been so horrified in my entire life.
Even just typing about it has got my heart racing and my hands shaking.

Since this is turning into a pets post… I love my Conan.
Here he is, 8 years ago, three months old, my dad holding him.

Dude,
My dog looks very similar to yours. (OK, I know they are a popular breed.) Except she’s a girl so her nose is narrower & longer.
Sorry the pic is so small but I am too lazy to post a bigger one – maybe you can zoom in on it or something. In this pic she’s all soggy from chasing birds & riding waves, but when she drys out she’s got the same dark ears, graying snout and pinkish nose with very similar coloring.

Alright, I was going to tell you what big teeth she has but try as I might she is much too gentle to use them – even on Spurs fans. But I’m not above threatening to send her over to poop on your lawn. And you know the old saying “big dog means big poop”.

My front lawn is almost entirely covered by a garden my wife tends. Big dog poop would prolly just be spread out as fertilizer … try again if you feel so inclined.

Nah, you’re a good dude (for a Spur lover I mean). But trust me you don’t want any of that “fertilizer”.

With all of the Lakers fans I know, I make a point to trust what they say about big dog poop.
After all, they’ve been listening to Phil Jackson talk all of these years.

Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you, why does Phil Jackson stand so awkwardly? Does it have to do with the whole hip thing? Because every time I watch those cellphone commercials I notice, he doesn’t look quite right.

I don’t know the details but he is pretty beat up from his playing days. Supposedly he was quite a bruiser.
He walks stiffly, sits on that elevated chair to lord it over everyone avoid hip trouble by not having his butt too far below his knees. He’s also had some blocked artery/heart trouble. But that’s all I know.

jrw, what would you do if one of your jrwlings rebelled against you in their teenage years and rooted for the Lakers?
by BlaseE on Oct 6, 2009 10:30 AM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
First: jrwlings is nice. Very nice. Rec’d.
Second: Rooting for the Spurs is a privilege, not a command.
Third: I’d simply realize that I didn’t incorporate the correct values in the right way to enable them to choose good vs. evil.
Fourth: Cutting them out of the will doesn’t sound too harsh, but that’d likely be a game time decision.

Oh, see, my cat died this summer but I’m starting to feel left out so maybe I’ll just post pictures of her urn.
Hilariously maladjusted. But for all the right reasons.
Too bad about your cat. It’s amazing how much you can miss them.

Hipuks be careful with this one. About two years ago I adopted a dog that looked almost exactly like your little Lucas, I named him Charlie. I too suspected some Beagle in him and he ended up having a helluva nose for pointless shit. He dug up countless holes in my backyard unearthing all sorts of stupid things like chalk, roof tile, bottle caps and other metal stuff. After a few weeks I sent him back and the shelter people made me feel like I just gave cocaine to an infant child.
Just call me The Profit
I know, Beagles get in trouble for their noses. Fortunately, I live in an apartment, the pathetic excuse for a yard I have is made of concrete, so he’s not gonna be digging holes anytime soon. The bastard is a chewer though…I got him a Kong, world famous tough toy, and he destroyed it in about three days.
