Love animals no issue with it at all

I feel if you get a pet and leave it outside, then you should not have a pet. Most people that do that, never pay attention to the pets. Really annoys me

i have two dogs a german shepherd and a lab mix, and we have dog hair all over...we will probably end up replacing most of the carpet just because of all the hair.

as much as I love em, i probably will never want two dogs (at least of that size) at the same time.

i am allergic to cats, so they are nothing more than vermin to me.

When moved in w/my gf, she already had a cockapoo female that hated men. She barked snarled, flinched, ran and howled for about two weeks and then we became friends. After a year, she is more my dog that my gf's. She just came into my man pit to give me some attention and get some in return. Love having her around. Never been much of a cat person but they like me too.

When I am of age to own a house and pay for it, if ever, I will always have my dogs inside. They can go out to pee and play and walk, or whatever, but they live inside. I live inside, so my friends should too.

Yeah I totally agree. We used to have our dog out a lot back in the day. Our first lab, and so we were new to owning pets. As she got older, we left her inside more and then when she passed, was probably one of the saddest days of my life. Mainly because I felt that I could have done so much more to appreciate her for what she brought to my life and made her more happy. The look she gave me the last time I saw her is rough. It was a "thanks for such a good time, I'll miss you" look.

I came home Friday night last year (knowing full well that this lab had maybe a week left) and expected to see my dog stand up from the floor she was probably laying on all day because she couldn't stand, just to welcome me home. Only to find out Saturday night that my family had put her down.

With our new dogs we got I promised myself to spend enough time everyday to make sure they know I appreciate them more than anything. I wish I would have done that earlier with out lab because I missed out on so many good times. Now that I'm in college, I don't get to see the dogs much anymore, which makes me sad, but I love to get home with bags of stuff and have them jump on me. Its refreshing to know that how ever often I leave them, when I come back they will love me just as much as they did before.

I guess that's why I hate seeing dogs neglected so much. If you can't find it in yourself to care for a life that loves you more than anything in the world, then don't own a dog. Its simple. Your dog loves you just like you love yourself. Its fair to love the dog too.

Gotdam right. You can have a terrible day, come home, and that dog is just there to remind you of how simple and good life should be by wagging their tail and just wanting to be around you, no matter what.

Yeah, that's why I love them. There isn't another animal that will do that for you. At least for me. If I could have a dog in my apartment, I would. I would give up spending money on anything that I don't need (like alcohol) just to have a dog around. I love them.

Probably. Those 2 will literally jump up to like my face when I get home to see them. They are the best friends I could ask for.

I remember this day in the summer when our home security alarm was going off for no reason, and they got scared by the noise thinking someone was breaking in or something. Well since nobody was home the dogs figured a way to get the door to the basement open and run down stairs. The guy dog (branson) runs straight down to my room and jumps up into my bed with me. Of course I told him being down there was against the rules b/c he goes to the bathroom down there. He refused to leave my side. He was so scared that he cuddled up behind me hoping I'd protect him.

I know, csb

Mine do that too. Its hilarious to see a little tiny dog standing in front of a 6'3 guy looking at someone like "take one more step, I swear I'll fuh you up!"

That sucks watching dogs get old. Hope she sticks around for a while and the doc can keep her out of pain.

we are going to start giving her some glucosamine for her joints to help with the arthritis.

she is still a happy dog...she just has a hard time seeing in the dark, or when she comes in from the outside and you can tell it is getting harder for her to get around, especially going up and down the stairs.
