I like dogs but...

Recommended Posts

So at the old age of 19 (20 next month) I'm still living at home. For some reason I thought buying myself a Mercedes-Benz was cooler than my own apartment.

 

Well a few months ago my mom came home with a dog, totally random. No big deal, I like dogs and my old dog died back in January (She was 17, I had her since I was 5). Moving forward to 4 weeks ago, ANOTHER dog shows up and again my mom just runs out and buys the dog without consulting anyone. After being slightly irritated I got over it and now I like the dog.

 

Today comes around, and I got home rather early since I decided not to go to the CU vs FSU game in Boulder. I played a hard game of Basketball at the CU recreation center then drove home and immediately flopped on the couch, turned on the 65" tv and waited patiently for the Nebraska vs USC game. Right about the end of the 1st quarter I heard the garage door open, but it took a while for everyone to come inside - I really didn't think anything of it.

 

I heard the door open and turned around to say hi, only to see this white dog come into the house. I was a little shocked, and thought maybe they found him on the street and took him home while they found the owner. I was wrong, she went out again and bought a 3rd dog. Now there are 4 animals in my house, and it's getting slightly annoying.

 

I like dogs, but I don't want three of them. She might as well go out and start up a kennel if she's so obsessed with puppies. I like the dog a lot though, he's smart and doesn't take shit from the jackass dog we have. He reminds me a lot of my first dog, not very into playing around but will always hold his own.

I want to get a Dobermann soon. I love Dobes great dogs. Was going to get Rottweiler but it'll eat way too much.

 

Did you ask your mum why she got so many dogs. Does she want them for the company or does she just want to save em from the shelter?

I've got a German Shepherd and a Old English Bulldog....great dogs. Dogs really are a man's best friend. I know it sounds silly. But there's something about having dogs. Like Walter said about his cats...they can be a pain...but it's definitely worth it.

I have a rott/lab mix and a greyhound/lab mix. My rott mix is the coolest dog I've ever met.

Ahhhh. That's so cute. Mix of 2 of very cute dogs, Lab and Rottweiler. I have a Rottweiler. He's about 6 years old. He's very cute and smart. It's great fun.

Hey Reaver. Your GSD is awesome! So cute.

I love the British Bulldog as well. They are so cute in a really ugly sort of way. Their mannerisms are also pretty cool.

 

I've always been partial towards Dobermann's because my uncle back in Europe has 6 of them. Rotties are awesome dogs as well. I think I must have something soft for guard and attack type dogs haha!

 

Whats everyone's views on cropping dogs ears and docking tails? In Australia it's illegal to crop a dogs ears, and in most states it's illegal to dock tails. I personally reckon Dobermann's should have their tails docked and the cropped ears do look pretty cool but I wouldn't want to do it for cosmetic reasons alone cause it would probabbly hurt the pup heaps.

Hey Nick thanks man. GSD..nice and proper...first one I have heard call it by the formal (and proper) name German Shepherd Dog.

 

My bulldog had her tail docked and I think she doesn't know the difference...I figure as long as it doesn't affect the dogs survival skills or comfort/function..then do whatever you want...people get nose jobs and stuff...dogs can get ear jobs I guess. lol

 

It makes guard dogs look more intimidating....think of it like making your personal bodyguard lift weights and get jacked so he can look tougher...same concept. Appearance means a lot with dogs when it comes to home protection.

Hello. Here are some pics of my best bud. I just couldn't resist. His hobbies are cuddling and walking. Every morning when my alarm sounds he comes to me a starts to cuddle.

 

I trained him to walk without a leash, which we're both happy about. The commands he knows are to slow down, stay, go certain direction, and often he understands what I mean even if he doesn't know the words. He's actually very good at walking without a leash, even in busy streets in the center of town, which is where I originally taught him how to walk when I was living close to a university.

 

There is a pic there of his dog house which I built for him. It is insulated all around, top and bottom with pink panther insulation. It needs some shingles. But unfortunately some wasps have made their home their. I knocked their home down several times but they rebuilt it and now it is a huge wasp house. So he stays away from there, which for him is good because he gets to spend more time in the house.

Cute pup, Abe. Baxter is an ultra cuddle dog, too. He follows me around just as your rot does. My lab/greyhound on the other hand.....she's a handful. She'll run anywhere there is space.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
