Dogs

Posted by Grand Poobah On January - 5 - 2010

OMG, dogs are such a pain in the ass…  Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t own my house if I couldn’t have my dog.  They provide a companionship that isn’t matched by any other “relationship”.  My dog is always excited to see me, he acts like he’s been waiting all day for me to walk through the door.  My dog seems to just “get me”.  He understands when it’s time to play and when it’s time to shut up and just lay at my feet.  I like hanging out with my dog, I get companionship and I don’t have to think about giving anything back to him.  He has no expectations, and gladly takes whatever attention I give him.  Having said all that though…dogs are such a huge pain in the ass and a ridiculous amount of commitment.

Dog Mauls Man

Posted by Grand Poobah On November - 3 - 2009

I’m not a fan of adopting a “rescue” dog, mainly because you don’t know how it was raised…maybe it was beaten, maybe it was abused…you really don’t know what kind of mentality that dog was raised with.  Maybe this one came from good owners and just flipped out…hard to say.

It’s done

The Sarge has been adjusted.  He’s not happy about it, I’m not thrilled about it…but I think the women of the house are quite satisfied.

The woman asked me yesterday why I’m so attached to the dog, it’s only a dog…I’ll be the first to admit (and have around anyone that asks) that I’m way attached to the Sarge.  My decisions when it come to him are not objective in the slightest.  I’m as bad as a woman talking about her child…I’m emotionally invested and it kinda sucks.

I was sick all day yesterday thinking about the Sarge in the hospital, then last night he walked in to the house and just collapsed for a little bit.  He napped for a few hours and it seemed like he was finally able to move around a bit.  He went outside and jogged around for a couple hours, then seemed to sleep OK after that.  He woke me up around 3am to go outside so I think he’s doing OK.

/me sighs…

Posted by Grand Poobah On August - 5 - 2009

I finally made the call today…the Sarge is getting clipped.  /me dies a little inside.

He’s been getting a bit difficult for the woman to control, and a bit more aggressive at the people that are running around outside our yard.  I want him to bark and carry on a bit, but he’s too much of a danger to hurt someone right now.  No amount of discipline and training are going to help.  He’s going to need to be clipped along with the training.
