I am definitely a "dog person". In fact, I have a hard time trusting people that don't like dogs.

The last thing I wanted was a dog. Then along came this guy, who has enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined.
I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person.

"Does this make me look me look like The Donald?"
Senor Chico is a Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix we picked up as a puppy from the local shelter. We didn't really see ourselves getting a dog (or a smallish dog at that), but our youngest convinced us. He's a true gem of a pooch.

Nice! Those two breeds usually hate each other in real life. Is your dog a doppelganger?
I got Max away from some creep who kept him cooped up in a cage with two chihuahuas. For a while I thought he was scarred for life but he's come around.

Kris, your picture of Max inspired me to post one of Chico. Chico loves almost everyone, but is fairly timid with other dogs (he was the runt of the litter). One of his brothers was twice as large and looked to have a career as a circus performer.

My neighbor did something smart. He got two Labs from the same litter. He picked the alpha and the runt, they get along great.

Nice Sketchy... and everyone else.
Chihuahua mixes are some of the best dogs ever.

We had to put the family dog down yesterday. He was young and had way too much energy for such a small creature but an unknown tumor ruptured. I got the news when I was in Joshua Tree, much too far away to make it to the vet before the family said goodbye.
I think when you get a pet you are setting up having a really bad day 10, 8, 5 years in the future. Just as you get to know this loving ball of fuzz their teeny inbred bodies give out and with their last breaths they love you still.
It wasn't my dog, it was my dads. And my brothers. And my sisters, and mine, and to anyone who ever met Jake he was pure love. It's really hard to lose that. It's hard to get it, too. Unless you get a dog.

Not really meant as off-topic, but I think dogs are one of the strongest arguments against religion, which generally has no place for them in heaven.
no heaven I want to be a part of......
