What kind of dog do you have?

[Phred]

Hi, all; I'm Cinder, the lil' German Shepherd from Ohio. I was six months old and only weighed 34 pounds when Dad, he's my Two-legger, drove over 80 miles to the jail in Wheeling, WV, to 'dopt me. He saw my mug shot on the jail's web site thanks to my two Angel Mom volunteers who took my picture and then e-mailed Dad the photo. I'm alomost two now, and weigh a whopping 44 pounds and stand a mighty 22 inches on my tippy-toes. I look 'zactly like a big German Shepherd, but Doctor Mike, the two-legger in the white coat that put the zipper in my tummy, says he thinks maybe I got *mixed* with something small. Dad doesn't care since I've finally decided that it's fun to crawl up on his lap and help watch the TV box. Small is nice!

I've been to 'bediance school with Dad. It was a lot of fun, but he often acted upset and cranky in class. The teacher always *grinned* when she watched us do our stuff in class. I had the most trouble walkin' backwards so's I could watch the mutt heelin' around the course behind us. He was a butt sniffer.

I gots a liddle brudder who lives with us at the house; he's called Boots, the Kat. Bad attitude when I first came home; he spent a lot of time up on the high places in the house. He always seemed to have a speech problem; everything he said was either a low growl or a hiss with a lot of cat spit mixed in. He's a lot more friendly now, but he still screams to Dad for help when we play box and wrestle. I get away from Boots most days 'cause I go to *work* every day with Dad to help him fix 'lectronic stuff at our shop.

Cinder I love your story. I think your Dad must be a very nice man! He's lucky he found you, right?

I am owned by 2 beautiful, sweet, wonderful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Stanley and Lindy. Stanley is 9 years old, and Lindy is 7. They are the light of my life--absolute joys!! I have been the dog "mom" to other breeds, but none as sweet and loving as the Cavalier. I work as a vet tech and meet many loving dogs and cats, but it is always a joy to return home to my babies.

I am Mom to Jeffrey a 2 yr old basset/lab mix and Bandit a 2 year old pug. They are my boys. I always wanted a house full of kids, but now that I am single, I can't afford it. My dogs are the kids I don't have to pay college tuition for; much cheaper Jeffrey is a total Goof! He's definitely more lab than basset. When he runs downstairs, he's always in such a rush, he tumbles down the last 3 or 4 steps. Bandit seems like the aristocrat. He just looks at him as if to say "How un-civilized!" When my 11 year old daughter Kelsey sings in her "Munchkin" voice, Bandit howls like crazy. If I'm eating Bandit begs like he's starving, but if it's something he doesn't like he turns his nose up and trots away. Jeffrey, on the other hand will eat anything! To get Kelsey up for school, all I have to say is "Jeffrey, wake up Kel." He runs to her room, jumps, and does a belly flop on her. Kel doesn't particularly care for it but I think it's hilarious! I had dogs growing up; Lucky who was the family pet and Camp (don't ask, I was only five when I named him), but had a cat (Mike the Cat passed on in '98) as an adult since I only lived in apartments. As soon as I moved into a house, I got Jeffrey, then 2 months later, Bandit. They are true treasures and I can't imagine life without them. Aaah, group hug!

My husband and I have a 6 yr old, female, Sable Sheltie and 2 cats. The sheltie is very very intelligent, we will play hide and seek with her toys and she finds them every time no matter where we hide them. She has full run of our house, she also sleeps with us at night. While we are asleep she will peer out the window, since our bed is next to it. She leaves snark marks on the glass from her nose pressing against the glass, we love our pets.

Ya know what? this topic is way too long!

I see most of you love a larger dog and I am an avid lover of them too, in particular Goldens and Pinchers. But my heart goes out to the most wonderful dog in my opinion,,,the pomeranian. If breed right they are the most loveable,,,,and most clown like little dogs I have ever encountered in my years. Ha,,,gotta love em. Big dog attitude in a little body,,,,but this pedigree loves everyone and will invite strangers in for tea while I'm away!!!!!

Enjoy your babies!

My last 3 dogs have been lab mixs but Poms are one of the best for small dogs. I had one for a pet for 13 yrs. as I was growing up and it was a sweetheart! Minnesota people have good taste. (I don't think it shed all that bad either. Brushing was in order for sure.)

[ukja004]

Too kewl,,,thank you for responding,,,yep in my opinion Poms are just the neatest little clowns,,,,Would love to hear from you. You can email me at [email protected] if you care to ,,, I would love to hear about the Pom you had!

All my best,

We own 2 shelties and a tibetan spaniel.
The female sheltie, Shelley, is a lovely red-sable colour. Danny, the male sheltie, is a tricolour & was a rescue. The tibetan spaniel is called Angel & she is a beautiful gold colour. She became an Australian Champion in the showring but was unable to have puppies. Her breeder retired her to live with us as a pet. Our 3 dogs are much loved.

I have an airedale mix, too! Her name is Ginger. She was a pound puppy. Her puppy class teacher thought she has German Shepherd in her, as she has stand-up ears. But she's very Airedale...has the terrier eyes and wiry hair. She's smart, sassy, playful, mischievous, &likes to hunt moles/gophers. She's been said to resemble Little Orphan Annie's dog! She's seven now. Sure love to see a pic of Monty. Black lab with Airedale sounds sooo cuuute!! Bet he has a beard, too!
