But, having said that, big dogs like Newfoundlands, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Akitas, etc. are just so impressive.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are the best. I decided years ago that was the breed I would get on the off chance I didn't get a mutt. Until I did some more research and learned that their expected lifespan is only 6-8 years. I can't do that. They are such majestic, loving, chill dogs. They think they are people, and just want to hang out.

Stupid fucking kid!

If I saw a kid stepping on a dog I'd be screaming at him.

1,000 apologies. I completely forgot about Palin's child's condition, and would never knowingly make a joke about a person with Down's Syndrome.

Allow me to say - "Stupid fucking mother".

I know, just busting balls. My neighbors dog, best dog ever who I credit for ridding my daughter of her fear of dogs, would do this for their daughter when she was around 2 or so. If she was reaching for something on the counter, he would run over and act like a step stool for her. She was much smaller that Trig is there, and the dog is bigger than that dog. I have to say, it was really cute, and the dog ran over knowing what was going to happen, and would just turn his head and watch her while he smiled. If it was my kid and dog, I would have stopped it to prevent the dog from getting hurt, but also prevent the girl from scamming cookies. But, not my place, so I watched and admired the dog. My daughter loves dogs more than any kid I've seen, but she would also tense up and refuse to pet them. One day we were at the neighbors and I walked into their family room to see my then 3 year old daughter falling asleep on top of the dog.

Our pets, including Trig’s best buddy Jill Hadassah, are loved, spoiled and cared for more than some people care for their fellow man whose politics may not mesh with nonsensical liberally failed ways or don’t fit your flighty standards.

He was actually grounded but won the appeal because it was a really important wolf strafing day

I actually looked that name up because there just had to be some deeper meaing to such a name.

Turns out, it was first used in an ancient nursery rhyme about fetching water. Who knew?

Also the first names of the wives of last two Democratic VP candidates. Reach?

It's like when I was 14 and couldn't decide whether I wanted a dog or a cat, so I got a gerbil and named it Admiral H. Ralph Choate

I'd buy that.

But according to Lubavitch scholars, "Hadassah"

was the name of Queen Esther, who was not afraid to live among non-Jews and to show an example of how a Jew must be proud of his or her inheritance, and to live everyday life in the same direction, with happiness and much success.

It'd also be a great name for a Jewish porn star.

That would be an awesome name for a gerbil.

My buddy got a cat and named it "Dave". He said he never heard of anyone naming their pet Dave, so he figured it was a good pet name. And I've never heard of anyone naming their pet Dave.

Well buckle up, because my roommate in college found a cat and named it dave.

Florida Police Station orders new rugs. After a couple months, a staffer notices an unfortunate typo...

I had a cat for 18 years named "Spot". It was not spotted.
I am sooo fucking witty.

I have two Great Pyrenees. They are awesome.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 3:16 pm

I'd love to have a Great Pyrenees. Seem like awesome dogs. We were wine-tasting in Sonoma a couple years ago, and the owner of a winery called Porter Creek (great zinfandels) had a huge Great Pyrenees that just plopped itself down on the floor right amongst the tasters. It graciously accepted all petting, but did not give a fuck about getting out of the way. It was pretty funny.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 3:27 pm

For such large dogs, they are wonderfully lazy (at least our two our). Love nothing more than chilling on the couch, like a furry human.

And car rides.

When I was a kid, my best friend lived next to a family that had a couple of them.

They were fantastic dogs, and beautiful too. If they weren't so big, I would have had one by now.

When I was young, we had toy poodles, but since then, it's been either a bichon frise (not too bright), or West Highland Terriers (great dogs). So I've never had to clean up after a dog that has human sized shits.

Shit you not, I had my cattle dog trained to do pretty much the exact same thing. We would also play in the yard with a soccer ball and I trained her to be a "goalie". It was a lot of fun for both of us.

Sorry boys, this is one of the bad bumps. Harper would have been 10 this July, lost him without warning on Sunday and we weren't even able to get back from the beach in time. As I was finding the pic, "Fond Farewell" came on the radio, so ... yeah ...

Pretty much the only positive is that the emergency vet says he thinks it would have happened when it did no matter what and, had we been home, there's a good chance everyone is just in the living room. It was horrible enough explaining it to her, like a legit "one of the worst moments of my (very easy) life", but that would have been traumatizing.
