Do Not Sell My Personal Information

this was great. glad you posted it, wish I read it earlier.

i went to the pound today. frankly, i need a fucking dog.. cmpanion.. something i know wont fuck me over and can take my mind off stuff.

feels like Im cheating on morgan and forcing her memories out.

found 3 dogs.. was looking for smart, sweet, goofy and playful.

1 was a pit.. the PERFECT dog. connected immedieately.. could be a little smarter, but shes competing against Morgan, the smartest dog ever. White dog. Not the prettiest, not my type, but very sweet eyes. connected with us.

2. was aparently a boxerpit mix, just like morgan. brindle too. not quite my look. Fucking genius dog. Took 2 seconds to figure that out. When I left the cage, she stayed clung to the cage, standing up, looking exasperated.. she let out a huge sigh. when we went to play, she was too into everything else. natural when youre caged. trainer confirmed, she was very independent. i think she was just very smart.. knew I was her way out.. the only knock on morgan was she didnt love me as much as Id like. or was i guess, independent. i want a dog that loves me.

3. was a pretty black pit. everything i was looking for but not genius. loved me the most, hugged me, but i idnt feel connected as much as i thought I should be.

the latter of the two both chose me over madison, which is gigantic.


i didnt get any. idk what im waiting for or if im doing it wrong. its a big investment.. 10 years of a best friend.. 6 minutes in a caged pen.

i think you end up getting a dog when you just realy fucking need to get it over with. or are ready? idk

Don't rush it.

When I was in eighth grade, my beagle got hit on the road and ended up running back to me to die in my arms just a couple minutes later. Fucked me up. That dog and I were literally best friends.

My family got our next dog (another beagle) about 5 months later, and everyone thought they were ready. I wasn't, and ended up never feeling that great of a connection to her until she was like a year - year and a half old. Some of that was me being a teenaged shithead, but the other part was that I just wasn't ready to have another dog. I found myself comparing them way too often.

I was a kid in a four person family, so she got plenty of love and attention. I'd hate to see you not be fully fulfilled living on your own after making that level of commitment.
 
Went to the Diamond Grille in Akron today for a steak. Brought the pooch home the bone... glaze eyed frenzy time. (Him, not me!)
 
Appreciate the insight. a lot.

Crazy, my beagle got hit by a car in7th grade.. I didn't know how much worse it was when you see it happen. my fucking god.


I think I'm ready. I just need to figure out if I want a more dependent dog and how active.

I got to see what we called Morgan's son fit the first time in awhile today.. it was amazing being able to play with a buddy and cuddle,and to have something you like want to play and cuddle right back for an hour and a half straight.

Still crying about Morgan.. always be my favorite, always love her.. but I'm not the same without a companion or something to take care of

My new girl, Sadie at her first vet visit. Having a puppy makes me imagine what it would be like to have a kid. A ton of care and attention. Something I'm still working on adjusting to for sure.

Yeah, take your time. Maybe you're not ready. Maybe not the perfect dog. Who knows, doesn't really matter. When it's right, you'll feel good about it. I still keep pictures of my previous dogs and miss them a lot. But I also feel great when I'm with Rosie! You'll get there eventually! Keep at it, but take your time!

My new baby. She was perfectly fine every one of the ten times I visited her cage over the last month, but she starts jumping around for the camera, sorry.

sweet, sweet eyes. connected with me. Every time we went in the play area, the first thing shed do was hug me. will not bark. i guarantee. shes fun and has energy, btu she doesnt do it aggressively or bounce off the walls.

PLEASE HELP: morgan's dog bed is still in her cage. It doesnt feel right having the new dog on it, for morgan's memory, and im not throwing that thing out. what do I do?

Last weekend Panda had his photoshoot for his 2016 Calendar. All the proceeds of this go to the local great pyrenees rescue. We are picking up a great pyrenees puppy on Friday. We have two great pyrnees that we we have we rescued, but this one comes from a breeder. The father was the #2 great pyrenees in the nation (venture) and the mother was a champion pyr as well. Luckily we are getting a "pet quality" pup because a lot of that litter is going on the show circuit. If we got a show quality dog they would take the dog off our hands to train it and tour it as it got old enough. So it is like renting a dog.

Normally we would rescue, but the gf has a good friend that knows either the breeder or the owner of Venture (can't remember which) and they wanted to give us a pup.
