I had a lazy weekend. We went to the puppy store in the mall and mugged and kissed puppies for about an hour. Then we left. I am currently hailed the meanest, rudest, most unloving and uncaring mom/wife in America because we didn’t buy one.
I am okay with that.
The last thing we need is another damned dog.
We still have three. Three Monster Dogs (English Mastiffs weighing in at 176, 144 and 142 lbs respectively). What kind of a puppy did they want to bring home? A Boston Terrier! This thing would be crushed in a matter of minutes if the monsters didn’t know he was underfoot.
Besides. We. Do. Not. Need. Another. Dog.
I absolutely love Mastiffs EXCEPT.FOR.THEIR.SLOBBER!
ReplyDeleteBut they’re beautiful big doggies. If you need a small dog fix just call me. I’ll bring my little ankle biter over to get squished by big dogs.
Quagmire can totally come hang out with us. Is he a yorkie? Our old neighbor had a Yorkie named Ollie. Ollie ran into my house one night and my dogs cornered him and covered him with kisses. He was soaked. Scared to death and soaked. Then when I made my way to save him, he peed all over me. I called him Mr. Peebody after that. But my dogs didn’t hurt him.
ReplyDeleteThis is the argument currently being used to wear me down and go buy a Boston. I need strength!
Yeah, he’s a yorkie. He’d freak out the first time but then he’d think he was a big dog too and totally get trampled and love it.
ReplyDeletesweet cracker sandwich woman! I thought my sitch was “hairy”.
ReplyDeleteMore power to you.
I know how you feel, I told my family the very next animal to come in this house replaces ME! I feel like I live in a big hairy zoo!. I have a Golden and 2 cats. Mastiffs scare the hell out of me! Good luck!
ReplyDeletePretty new template!
ReplyDeleteTHREE Mastiffs!?! That is serious dog (and dog food) :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, you don’t need another dog, if you’d had 1 dog left of she was your only one, sure, but just love the rest of your dogs right now. Maybe make a little memorial, a picture, maybe a marker in he yard. Everyone just wants Griz back and that’s understandable. Losing a pet is just as bad as losing a human, I think. And anyone who disagrees never had pets.
You need to downsize. Get a couple of guinea pigs. More fun than a barrel of monkeys, but they don’t slobber, hardly shed and you keep em in a cage so they can’t bite your ankles. My wife is as mean as you, though—my guinea pig died last year and she refuses to let me get another. Says the cats are enough nuisance. What is it with you women? You’re just opposed to chaos for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. I have 1 anklebiter, 2 cats, one husband and I want more (pets that is)... I love furry chaos anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in Utah we had FIVE dogs (three labs, two mastiffs), FOUR cats, our three kids, my brother, THREE foster kids and the man and I.
ReplyDeleteI know chaos. Chaos is my element.
I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll be getting a Boston for christmas. I keep saying I want to down size when the Mastiffs are gone. I’ll be 45+ and one bad fall could break a hip.
If I get another dog, I’m kicking somebody’s ass for about a minute. Then I’ll be all droopy in love and stuff.
I was going to say, ‘who are you kidding’, but you wrote you’d probably get one for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I’m downsizing, but I added 2 more to the 13 I already had, so I’m down to <strike>15</strike> 14 now.
