my life's biggest regret is getting a dog.

I take that back, I have to big regrets in life, and the second one is the other dog.


pain in the ass.

^ again..."dog people" who find dogs to be a pain in the ass just really suck at owning a dog

otherwise, you're not a "dog person" and shouldn't have a dog in the first place

sure, not all dogs are the same, but most puppies are actually pretty easy to train

obviously, owning a pet isn't for everyone...not everyone can handle the responsibility (time commitment, cost, etc)...but the things the OP mentioned as missing are easily fulfilled by a dog

Quag...when did you get your dog?

This will be my last post on this, because it's a complete diversion from the topic at hand.

I love dogs, grew up with dogs, and have wanted a dog badly for the past 6/7 years of my life. I am FINALLY getting a dog in the next month or so because the situation will work out perfectly. My gf will be moving in and she has the summer off to train the dog (she's a teacher). Once she goes back to school, I will be able to take the dog to work (dog friendly office). And we'll have two people living in a house (with a nice yard) to sufficiently take care of a dog.

I don't like having a dog couped up in a house all day while I'm at work. I could not adequately train and take care of a dog by myself. Having a dog while I was living by myself would probably lead to me being less productive at work. The love and companionship from owning a dog definitely outweighs it being a "pain in the ass" (sorry for my choice of words). But it completely changes your life (unless you just stayed at home all the time anyways). I'm glad you had the perfect dog, but some dogs are tough to train, piss and shit everywhere, tear up furniture and/or clothes.

They are also easily fulfilled by a body pillow/teddy bear/pocket pussy/jacking off/getting some strange at a bar/any combination of these things listed and more. All are cheaper and will be and less time consuming than getting a dog.

stfu quag...this guy just needs to get his dick wet. Getting a dog is not the solution.

When you go on vacation, you don't have to worry about your car starving to death in the garage.

yes, the garage thing. boarding them for a week when we go on vacation is about $600. Owning a dog is less fun than making a pile of cash on the ground and setting it on fire.

Also the damage to my lawn, landscaping, and hardwood floors.

puke stains on the carpet.

worn down furniture.

dog hair... everywhere.

I like not dealing with all of those things more than having dogs. That was a wife thing not a BobbyDigital thing. I deal with it because I love my wife and want to continue having sex with her vagina.

I love dogs, but only other people's dogs. I know more than anyone that I really should not ever own dogs.

I hate all other domestic animals, so it could be worse.


anyway, enough of this, back to talking about cheating whores.

5/30/2012 12:47:07 PM

holy shit, i'm glad none of the dogs i've ever had (both by myself and growing up) have been the pieces of shit y'all are describing...i guess i just keep getting lucky over and over and over again, eh?

Quote :

"When you go on vacation, you don't have to worry about your car starving to death in the garage."

we take the dogs to my parents'...or my wife's parents'...or have a sib/friends take care of them (again, our dogs aren't pieces of shit who will destroy everything)...or have sib/friends stop by a couple of times a day (i have a house with a fenced-in back yard and i'm not afraid to leave my dogs alone on the reg)

i guess i'm just lucky on all fronts...awesome dogs, awesome family, awesome friends

i sympathize with the rest of you, i truly do...i'd probably think having a dog was a horrible experience if i didn't train them well or have a reliable network of friends/family to take care of them when we go out of town and can't/don't take them with us (which we do pretty frequently, since a lot of our vacations are backpacking/camping)

the OP said he missed the companionship of his cheating ex-gf and i told him to get a dog...the shit hit the fan because it seems that most folks don't have good relationships with their pets

You just have a ridiculously easy situation and for some reason you think that everyone else is in the same place as you and has the exact same dog. None of my friends with dogs live near their parents. I have plenty of friends who have done all the right things with their dogs, but they still act up every now and then (old roommate's dog just tore up his couch...after two years of not chewing on a thing). And I have friends that have great dogs, but they still have to pay for boarding because we all do shit on weekends as well and don't want to spend our free time taking care of other people's responsibilities (I use to dog-sit all the time...but now with a gf, we're always doing stuff on the weekends).

5/30/2012 1:02:17 PM

i have not read this thread

and will not

until there are pics posted

5/30/2012 1:06:48 PM

^^ like i said, i suppose i just keep getting lucky...over and over and over again...because my dogs have done fine once i/we have trained them (obviously a puppy is going to be a puppy)...but i'm not afraid to smack a dog or use a shock collar...and so my dogs aren't shitheads after "2 years" of being good

*shrug*

also, i mentioned friends (not just parents) taking care of our dogs...i suppose that if my "trained" dogs acted up all the time, my friends wouldn't want to take care of them, either

when i take care of friends' dogs that are prone to acting up, they get crated during the day while i'm gone...i guess most folks don't have friends that are willing to do that, either

so yeah, i guess the consensus is that for loneliness, one should just jack off more until your balls are so sore that you forget to be lonely or snag some strange at a bar and hope she's as clean as she claims

My buddy used/still uses a shock collar with that dog. They think he might be able to sense that they are moving (just bought a house and are starting to pack up) or that they changed the schedule in which they leave every day for work.

Dogs are fickle. I used to dog-sit a boxer for a friend of mine. Sweetest dog you'll ever meet. Never barked or anything. Took that dog everywhere and never had to worry about her. Three years later my buddy gets a puppy to go along with the boxer...and now the boxer is a protective mother and you can't take her out in public without her snapping or going after another dog. It's tragic. He's tried everything (that doesn't involve paying a Dog Whisperer a shit ton of money)...and nothing will work. Now I won't dog-sit for her anymore.

90% of dogs are a pain in the ass on a consistent of enough basis for them to be called a pain in the ass. Most of those dogs are worth putting up with...but some are not and more often than not people get dogs and really aren't able to care for them the way they should be.

Again...thank your lucky stars that you have the "perfect" situation. I think I'm almost in that spot to where I feel its the right time to get a dog. The only thing I don't have is family members around to take care of the dog while I'm away. But I will have a "boarding budget" for that.

Would also like to add that dogs that act up aren't "shitheads"...they're just dogs. They're friggin animals. I'm glad you have an angel of a dog...but that's very rare.

I would say hang out with friends...try to fuck a decent looking random...then if that fails, go home and beat it.

jbrick83 must be forgetting how many people you suddenly talk to just because you have an animal on a rope. People will come up and tell their life stories just because you have a dog that looks a little like one of theirs from the past. Sometimes it's people you don't really want to talk to, and that's a great time for the dog to take a crap. Sometimes it people you do want to talk to, though . Puppies, obviously, are the best, but it's even better to borrow someone else's puppy.

5/30/2012 1:28:19 PM

Oh...dogs are great for meeting girls. But while you're banging out that girl who was petting your puppy an hour ago, your puppy is shitting on your leather couch, chewing up the wires on your home entertainment system, and spreading garbage all over the kitchen while trying to get to that leftover crust of gumby stix at the bottom of the trash can....

5/30/2012 1:32:18 PM

^ you really should compost those gumby stix

5/30/2012 1:33:33 PM

I eat my crust. Hypothetical situation for petejames...a man who obviously still eats Gumbys.

how did you train them not to shed again? or to not ever walk on hardwood floors? or to vomit in the toilet when they get a bezore? i'd be interested in learning how to train them on those skills.

I suspect, like most dog obsessed people, you simply overlook these things. my wife certainly does. Ultimately, I like things more than dogs.

is vacuuming at least once a week REALLY that hard? both of our dogs shed like crazy...my wife's is a husky mix and her fur gets everywhere...my dog is a hound mix and isn't as fluffy so it's less obvious, but it sticks to the walls and doors...neither are allowed on the furniture and so we still manage to live comfortable, happy lives vacuuming on a regular basis like most clean adults

and why would a dog not be allowed to walk on hardwood floors? we clip our dogs' nails on a regular basis (usually once a month just after giving them a bath) and they've managed to avoid destroying OUR hardwood floors (though my dog still likes to try to run and ends up slipping or just running in place...she's kind of dumb)

have you ever gone skiing when it's hot outside and you're not at a ski resort? skiing sucks.

I could pretty much say just when you aren't drunk. Because hot pokey stix still suck when you're sober.
