I can also only assume he was mixed with an elephant since his shoulders were not far below my waist(I'm 6ft2in). Yeah, even negating the apartment size, you don't have the time for a dog with that kind of energy. Guarantee you he'd end up making GBS threads up the house because he'd be bored senseless. Boxers can be great, but they require a lot of time, space and patience. I sound really Pet Islandy, so insert something about chickens/baking birds here.

There are a lot of smaller, maybe older dogs out there who also need someone to hang out with and do dog trick things.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of that, and it's unlikely that dog'll be up for adoption by the time I move into the new place. I was looking for something smaller anyway, he just caught my eye with his awesome pictures and descriptions of how much he loves to learn stuff. I just like keeping an eye on what dogs are in my local shelters now that I'm actually at risk of being able to have one.  tbp posted:I love dogs, OP. Penguingo posted:I'm glad your dog is of decent size and is not pointlessly small. My family had a Pomeranian when I was in High School and it was adorable as it was basically a walking puffball made of joy. I guess my point here is something something something size something.

My dog is terrified of hard wood floors cuz he tore his ACL after getting real excited to see my dad once while standing on one, so we now have roads of carpet through the house so he can get around.

My dog does a front handstand when she pees because she's top heavy. Any dog that does a handstand while it pees = best dog. Might be biased, whatev. Obsessed with dat dog.

My cat likes to sleep in the windowsill all day. Sometimes I'll try to get her attention, but the most I'll ever get is a passing glance before she falls back asleep. She also likes to lick the window and massage my backpack. My cat is p. chill.

I spent yesterday morning between 5 and 7 am drinking Seagrams 7 and Fresca and chain-smoking in a patio chair as the sun came up with a small and adorable bulldog maybe? sitting on my lap. It had the bulldog look. Was pretty small. Had a permanent sticking out tongue.

Why do such a large number of dogs do this when they're perplexed? It certainly isn't learned behavior and I fail to understand how it serves any evolutionary advantage. Did this come about due to selective breeding?

Did this come about due to selective breeding? It's all vertebrates, actually. It's one of those weird parochial things that come from bottlenecks in the whole evolutionary process, like the fact that every creature has its nose above its mouth, or that life on earth uses L-chirality amino acids.

Francostein posted:It's doggie birthday time! My favourite part of the PI Random Nonsense thread is the giant picture-chain dog birthdays of people torturing their dogs with dog cakes, and dressing them up. Basically what I'm saying is your dog needs a doggie birthday cake and a fruity shirt to match that pimpin' hat.
