    Aww! He's so cute. Is he a cockerpoodle? I have a black cocker spaniel and he has smooth fur, just wondering the breed type.

    Apparently dog owners don't know how to post pictures.

    SMH.

    Had to go back and quote this.

    Teach a dog to do fun tricks. No problem. :smile:

    Learn how to post a picture? :tongue:

    Why do people post stupid, pointless threads?

    What I don't get is why anybody thinks other people want to see what they drive -- car, truck, bike, ATV... Folks pose for pictures with their vehicles all the time like somebody else actually cares.
    I love you.

    I don't get why people in trucks need to rev the engine when they drive by, like I might be turned on by the sound of their engine rattle and the black smoke to follow. No. Just, no.

    it's likely one of the few ways they can show others that they have any modicum of power as a person -- even if it doesn't come from within. But at least they can buy it from Ford on a five-year loan!

    Because they are so photogenic and they make me happy! The little one is a foster and the other two are mine.

    She's an Australian Labradoodle (fancy :laugh: ). She is now 64 pounds of adorableness, but I love that baby pic of her :smile: .

    I guess you guys have "cooler" dogs than i have known. :) lol
    I have a Beagle......COOLEST little baby EVER. :)

    I've got to admit, it is pretty adorable. :)

    Dude, just tell her you think she is HOT. Pretending you like her dog will just backfire on you.


    I am married and really happy. IF i wanted to hit on someone, which i am not.... I would of been posting on the topic "Single or Not, Flirt, Affair or nada?" Do not think you know other peoples intentions.

    I think he was intending for that to be a joke. And good for you realizing you're not ready for a dog yet! :flowerforyou: Makes me want to throat punch people when they adopt a dog from us, and then return him because they just don't have the time to devote to him.

    Oh, and to not detract from the subject...this is the face of a dog who's just realized she's found a new home. :heart: The shelter was about to put her down after keeping her for 2 weeks (same dog as on the yoga mat previously). They said her weight was what kept her from getting adopted. I'm pretty sure it had more to do with her Pittie looks.

    What I refuse to do is to put clothing on a dog... no matter the breed they are all wolves! Wolves don't need coats or shoes!

    I have to disagree! I don't 'dress my dogs up' in outfits, but they do need coats in Winter. Whippets only have 16% fat compared to most breeds 24% and they also don't have a secondary undercoat like most breeds - so they definitely have to have coats in the snow! Same for greyhounds :)

    Real dogs don't need clothes. Personally I think clothes on dogs are crazy. To me, that borders on obsession, IMHO.

    No, really. I don't want my dogs to be dead, which they would be if they walked for more than 20 minutes in an English winter without a coat. They have been bred for speed, so have muscle not fat, and very little in the way of a coat, as that would slow them down. What is not real about a dog that can run at 35mph and catch me a rabbit (if I wasn't a vegetarian!) They are one of the few breeds of dogs who are still 'fit for purpose' and don't have scores of hereditary defects.

    Gorgeous! We adopted the fawn dog in my ticker after she was found abandoned on a busy road. Well, we were just fostering her for a week originally but three years later she's still here!

    Thank you, and thank you for saving so many lives! She has the best personality, I can't even imagine her weight being the issue. She makes me happy every day. :heart:

    That's awesome! Dolly was my foster, too! She and 2 other dogs were found running on a main road in Greensboro, SC. Their owner had committed suicide 5 days earlier, not sure how they got out of the house. She was adopted, but she tried to dig her way out of their front door and kept trying to run away, so they returned her. She was beside herself running around the house when they brought her back, so I knew she was staying. :smile:

    Why do people post stupid, pointless threads?

    The reasons vary.

    Boredom, Sarcasm, Humor, Anger.

    Why do you reply to stupid, pointless threads?

    For me*, mostly boredom and sarcasm, perhaps some occasional dry wit, or snark . . . oh and occasional drunkenness

    * Don't flame me, I didn't post the original response and this posting is in no way to be construed as calling this thread "stupid" or "pointless" although I reserve all rights to do so should the thread eventually devolve in a flame war. Oh, and D'awwwww!!!!! Cute dogs!
