You know something I never understood? People who pay 300, 500, 800 bucks for a dog when there are perfectly good dogs at the humane society that are going to be put to sleep.
So what is it with you people, do you need a "purebred" dog for a status symbol or what? I can tell you that I've ALWAYS gotten my dogs from the humane society and I have NEVER regretted it. And I'm not just talking about the good feeling you have from saving a dog, I'm talking about getting an animal that is an AWESOME pet too!!! It's almost like every single day the dog never forgets that He was once in a cage with 20 other dogs barking all day and night, and now He's in a loving home sleeping right next to me on my bed. I've always sensed this with the dogs I've gotten, they just seem to have that attitude that "YOU SAVED ME"! And they act this way every single day.
Now maybe this is just the natural behavior of dogs, I guess I wouldn't know since I've never bought one from a pet store. But I guess my point is, why are you spending all that money on a dog in the shop, when you can get one at the pound, AND save a life? It would be different if the pound dogs were really mean, and bite, and pee all over the house, and were un-trainable. But that has never been the case with me. Like I said, they just seem to live every day never forgetting the life they used to have VS the life they have now. Dogs have an amazing ability to show compassion that I only wish humans could rank up to.
So next time you in need of a new pet, at least go out and tease the possibility of getting one from the pound, or from the newspaper or something. I don't think you'll regret the decision, even though you won't have some fancy papers saying just how perfect a breed He is. And don't worry about that puppy in the pet shop, it's just a "supply and demand" type business. They won't breed 'em, if you don't want 'em. I only wish the puppies at the pound had that option!

What the hell is with the bible verses and menstruating talk? I guess it's "that time of the month".

So what your are saying that you do not need your brother you have a dog! db
My dog is way more loyal than my brother (or any human for that matter). Get some dog DNA and inject me with it and I'll start a new improved breed of humans.
Thats funny, I was told your dog had already attempted the breeding process on you through DNA injection when your wife was away for the weekend...
That sounds a little 'ruff', broseph! Funny though.
