Say hello to my new security system
Say hello to my new security system
About to become a new dog owner after having my heart ripped out of my chest a year ago. Just thought I'd share some stoke. Feel free to riff on all things dog bragging, training tips, whatever.
My wife is (hopefully) bringing him back Monday and is already smitten with him. She's a little worried though. Little bugger was killing and eating chickens at our friends' ranch and put on so much weight she's afraid she won't be able to take him on the plane ride home. :eek: :spyder:

Too bad they don't stay that way forever.
Re: Say hello to my new security system
Yeah if puppies stayed that way forever...
Funny enough, he's coming from Weatherford Tx. My wife wouldn't go for Gayle or Bradley or M4 for names tho. Lol

Just remember that unlike your wife, dogs expect you to raise your voice to get your point across. :p

is that fuzzball a Shiloh? A friend of mine who lives in the Dallas area has and breeds Shiloh Shepherds.
Looks like he's already as big as my Shiba Inus ever got

Re: Say hello to my new security system
That would work! I would have been happy with Maxamet as well...Max for short. My wife felt led to go with Judge (long story). Comes from a root word that also means defender and protector. His parents were Justice and Freedom.Evil D wrote:So Advocate is still an option... :cool:mb1 wrote:Yeah if puppies stayed that way forever...

He's actually a Shepherd/Malinois mix.
So...turns out the chicken killing bulking diet he was on ruined the "cheap" under seat with the wife plan. :rolleyes: He's right at 3 mos and 30#. :eek: This kicked off a frenzied effort to book a cargo ticket, vet clearance, and crate shopping. Yeah...there went my knife budget for a while.
Not to bore you, but if you've read this far...
Never have had a dog with this intelligence level. Looking fwd to the experience. He's been an outside dog entirely where he was born. My wife took him to her daughter's house Saturday, and of course he's not house broken. On the second day inside a house ever, he picked up his leash, carried it over to my grand daughter, and dropped it. She took him outside and he did his business. What??! haha :spyder:
I feel like we may have just adopted a person.

LOL! Also, when you lock your dog out and it's barking, it will stop when you let it inside. :pholeshot wrote:Just remember that unlike your wife, dogs expect you to raise your voice to get your point across. :p

Re: Say hello to my new security system
Thanks man. Dogs are awesome. We had to put down our 3 yr old pup last year. Hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life emotionally. It's about to whack me again right here and now just typing this.bearfacedkiller wrote:Congrats! I LOVE dogs! Too cute!
That to say...what really struck me at the time, while trying to get my head around how I got so attached to a little fluff ball, was this: I think dogs are the closest example of unconditional love that we may experience here on earth. I know that sounds sappy, but I feel like it's true.
