    so i took georgie, the rescue, in for a check up today and guess what? he's not a lab/pitt mix afterall.

    he's great dane/lab. and he isn't 11 wks, he's 9 wks old.

    they feel so sorry for us that they gave us bags of food. for danes the food bill can be $50/week.

    First you spend years trying to reverse the image of massage therapist. Now I guess you can work to stop the smirks when you tell people you own a Great Dane.

    Cute dog though. Maybe he will be happy with Old Roy dog food. It's only about $1.00 a lb. The Raccons love it.

    Yeah but you might get lucky and have it only get half the size of a Dane. Then it's 25 bucks a week lol.

    That's such a cute dog. I hope you're going to keep him.

    You should name him Harlan. Or BADDOGGETTHEFUCKOFFTHECARPET!!!. Either of those would be good.

    yeah, we're planning on keeping him. still trying to see how the ancient bongo is going to accept him. she's getting pretty pissed with his activity level. of course, it could be worse, he could be a jack russel terrier.

    kids are sticking with georgie. my vote was for shazaam.

    not sure what that's supposed to mean but it can't be any worse than the looks and responses i get to owning a pitt!

    That's cool; he's some retriever in him so he can fetch shit. That'll come in handy when you want him to bring you a Hyundai.

    keep him away from the kids... and watch the cornhole, as a wise man once said.

    Name it OGNOB.

    Or maybe "Michael Jackson," since he is mostly black with a little white streak in him.

    Or go ahead and cut to the facts, and name him "Pootsalot".

    you're fucking hysterical. he's so busted up. his brother was run over and died, a couple of his teeth got knocked out when he was hit by the car, his nose is cut up and he's got wounds on his legs. he's just an angel except for the whole puppy-biting-chewing thing.. and the occasional shit accident, but according to phat i'm not supposed to talk about that.

    we'll see how he acts at my daughter's 5th birthday tomorrow. the inlaws will be here and they are NOT thrilled that we have another mouth to feed. god wouldn't it be great if he bit them? i know a man who actually trained his dog to jump on his mother in law.

    An ass? Trust me on this one. Flatulence is in the Great Dane gene. So is slobbering all over your hardwood.

    Maybe you could name him Rip-n-drip.
    Nobody but you will have to know why.

    I was told my latest rescue was 1 and a half years old. This dog is about 8 mos old if that. She is all puppy... she chewed the power cord on my laptop Friday while it was plugged in. I just thought she was being a good dog laying by the bed. She gets into EVERYTHING and she is so happy and tail waggy and playful and clumsy. I think she might be a little retarded. My oldest dog doesn't care for her and I wasn't looking for a puppy, but what can I do? I don't want to take her back. As far as their puppies went, there was one that I was in love with but didn't get because she was a puppy, then I get deceived into one.

    My dog is a pitbull/lab mix or so I was told. She has webbed feet. I can see a little pit in her face but her hind is all boxer. I don't know what she is. The puppy I wanted was a german shepherd mix with the cutest puppy face you could ever hope to see. She had no name and I still want her.

    Yes, I can see little pit in my wife's box but her face is all hind.

    Let me understand this. You have a "rescue" that is not what you thought breed-wise, but also, as part Great Dane, it is only 8 months, though it passed for 1.5 years. How big will this horse get?

    i think you have us confused. her dog was supposed to be a year and a half but can't be more than 8 mos.

    mine was supposed to be an 11wk old lab but instead is an 18lb, 9 wk old great dane.

    how big? i have no idea, but i'm very scared.

    I am scared too. See, they told me that the dog I was adopting HAD sarcoptic mange but was not contagious. They had her quarantined for a while and they had just put her back in with the rest of the dogs. I specifically asked if it would be okay for her to be around my dogs and they said yes. I asked more than one person at the shelter and they all said that she was over it. So Thursday I adopted her. To be on the safe side, I took her to the vet before I ever took her home for a skin scraping and the vet did so and said that it appeared that she was over it and would be fine to go home and be with my dogs. Friday, the dog starts digging at her front legs, Sat and Sun. still digging. I went to the vet eariler today and bought Revolution (since that is what she was dosed 3 times on in a month and it is used for sarcoptic mange) for my other two dogs to be on the safe side. I told the woman at the front that she was digging at herself and naturally she didn't seem to give a shit and since I was on my lunch break and in a hurry, I went home and dosed my dogs and this evening, I took a look at the new pup's legs. They look like shit. It looks like mange and I am freaking out. The shelter is closed and so is the vet. I am pissed at both places and don't know what to do. I have already forked out 240 bucks for adoption, tests, meds, shots and dog stuff.

    I quit smoking months ago, but now all I want is a cigarette.

    I usually call it 'part retarded', like "damn are you part retarded or something?"

    Well, she runs into stuff and her eyes lack the expression that my other two have. She always has this look in her face:




    And yes, we mowed the lawn this weekend.

    Where do you live? Vietnam?

    I think the dog is constipated looking.

    I think the dog has fetal alcohol syndrome, or may be blind.

    Same thing in Alabama.
