Dag

I grew up with dogs and then when I had kids and all we didn't have one. I didn't want to mess with the fur, the food, the vet, the shit etc...

But just a few months ago I gave in. We got a guinea pig... I built it a huge box to live in. Thing is crazy... Wife hates it now but it has a nice place to live and food...

Same time we ended up getting fish... I'm tired of that damn fish tank and all the fucking algae. If it wasn't for the algae it'd be nice...

Then, then we got a dog. And I am so glad we got her. It was finally the right time with our kids being young and the right dog. Had to bored her for a few days here and going to get her this afternoon. I'm excited to see her!

Actually gonna get another dog too!

A good cat is nice but I think finding a good cat is harder. We took in a stray kitten last year. Omg we fucking hated that cat. Was gonna take it to the pound. Cat got lucky a girl at work took it in...

Dogs all the way.

DOG. Just lost mine on 3/30. She was a big black lab that adopted us just about two years to the day. I wasn't ready for a new dog at the time (less than five months of losing my 11 year old GS). I tried chasing them off ( she was with a bloodhound looking smaller dog). That was a cold rainy Sunday afternoon. on Monday the other dog was gone but the lab stayed. When I left for work I assumed she would be gone when I got back, not so. Now I felt real bad because she had been out side for almost two days, so I brought her in to the house and gave her food and water and a place to sleep. Then my wife called to me and asked IS THAT DOG IN THE HOUSE? I said yes she is. The wife says if we keep her she needs her shots.
The last two years she was one of the best dogs I ever had. I never had a lab before but will get one in time.

NO! Not EVERYONE! But good, caring people that need a loyal friend in their lives should all have one (or two)...

c'mon, now! you have to know better--EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S A:

The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

The best pet...
If you want unconditional love: Dog
If you want to be a slave: Cat
If you want an undemanding pet that doesn't care if you live or die as long as it's fed and comfortable: Snake

Why do all labs have the same 2 faces?

1. The just-woke-up "what the hell?" face
2. The sleep.

My lab is the same. He's either got his head down snoozing like a bum, or he's looking at me like he just farted and can't figure out what the noise coming from his backside was.

I love them because they're naturally protective of family members, and as loyal as can be. I guarantee mine has helped my stress level lately more than anything. It's nice to go home and see his goofy face and know all I have to do is scratch him behind the ears, give him a hug, and all is good for a while.

They sure are great. My wife won't let me get another, simply because she knows there won't be another Lab to equal the one we had for 16 years. Best dog ever.

We are Mastiff owners, now. I can't recommend a Lab enough. Once you get through the terrible twos

they are awesome!

I have a herd of both cats and dogs but I honestly can't see how you'd do better than a dog. A dog will sit next to ya on the porch and watch the day roll right on by wanting nothing more than to be there with ya.

What usually happens when I sit on the couch........my blind lab, Max. Excuse the mess I'm still remodeling/working on my old shack.
