THREAD FOR PUTTING ASIDE THE STRESSES INHERENT IN WANTING A DOG AND WANTING A DOG RIGHT NOW BUT HAVING TO WAIT UNTIL SPRING

BAH

maybe i will get multiple dogs to reward myself for waiting.

WANT?:

German Shepherd Dog
English Setter
Bearded Collie
???

is there a sale on dogs in the spring?

may be a woman beater but im not a fussy eater

10/10

"In April the dog crop is harvested in the wilds near Brainerd as they have for thousands of years..."

MN winter is cruel enough to live through as a human, why subject an ADORABLE PUPPY to such nonsense?

also i want to see if any more major chunks of my house fall off or explode before investing all my money into dawg

Well, waiting for good stuff to happen is annoying, but a lot less bad than anticipating bad things, right? So how much worse would it be if you were anticipating your dog dying in the spring?

See, now don't you feel better? Think how happy you will be on a warm spring day with your new, cute puppy (or puppies)! In the meantime, enjoy your freedom and go see a lot of movies. (That was the advice I got before Alex was born, and I think it could at least somewhat be applied to dogs.)

So you're saying your child is a dog.

My dogs keep me awake with their farting and grunting. And they also like to sleep in the doorway so I will trip on them.

Bah, dogs.

xp Not exactly, but J did spend some time pretending to be a dog this afternoon, so it's less black and white than I'd like to admit today.

newfound desire for Burnese Mountain Dog requires me to bump this thread.

you should get a great dane and a beagle. very convenient apparently:

I want a pound dog sooooooo much. As does Mr. Que. But we have committment issues.

White samoyeds are beautiful dogs, too, btw. Also, daschunds. And beagles are also adorable.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am not a dog person.

newfound desire for Burnese Mountain Dog requires me to bump this thread.

A woman who goes to the same vet's office as I do has a pair of these and they're gorgeous.

I want a dog really badly, but we have four cats and one is old and in poor health. :(

want dogggggggg omg so much but i have a) very busy life (or lack of "life"), b) no money, c) small apartment. this complicates matters and makes me sad.

picture of the dad dog that will be breeding with the dog we know in spring. his name is Mudd.

OMGOMNGOMG

btw in case perspective is difficult there that dog is well over 100 pounds. these fellas are hueg.

CUTE!

i was thinking woah i thought they were bigger. wacky shot perspective. im excited for you!

Wow. That dog looks like it could be taught things.

Those bernese mountain dogs are really gentle and smart as well as beautiful. I've never had one, but I've lived with two, at different times.
Good at parties, good with kids, good with kitties and other dogs.
I don't even like dogs that much and I LOVE those dogs.

Aw

i promise not to turn into one of these people that only wears tshirts with their dog on it

...because you will have a wallet/camera full of pictures of your burnese mountain puppies.

I meant to say cellphone - not camera.

i think you can still put pictures in cameras

WHY CANT HAVE NOW

to be fair, you probably could...

one less month to wait until aw<3<3<3

!!!

yay!!!

!!! i just worked out that john justen's puppy's mom might be pregnant right now or john justen's puppy might even already be born since spring is two months away and you usually get a puppy when it's aged between 8-12 weeks!!!

a big welcome to the foolishest justen<3

I wish I had time to knit something appropriate for a puppy. ;_;

you could just buy it something and spend the spare time toasting the puppy:)

oh man this is likely to be the most annoying thread bump extravaganza ever for the next few days

You are worse than my friend who is expecting a baby any day. How is that even possible?

I can't even send you off with the great advice I got from my father-in-law about labor induction. ("Sperm freshens the uterus!")

(and if you use this advice, plz do not share)

o_O about a bazillion times over

uh

what is the best way to formulate a joke about John getting his cooter poked in order to make the puppy come faster

um

in order to make the puppy come faster

hmmm^^^^

Well, you passed a few hours contemplating advice from insane in-laws and what to do with it. Now it's only a little over a day!

Catch a nap and several more hours will pass!

(I'm here to give helpful napping and sleep advice, apparently. So, um... try a nice lavender lotion to help you get to sleep!)
