I'm Weak....

onetruevibe · March 30th, 2011, 08:31 AM

After about 18 months of strong negotiations with my 6 year old son, I finally caved in a bought him one:

Flashmonkey · March 30th, 2011, 08:36 AM

Haha you're in for some crazy times with that little guy. He's plotting your demise as we speak....

DBentley415 · March 30th, 2011, 09:49 AM

Aawwwww puppies are sooooo cute!! Great opportunity to teach your child about responsibility

, hopefully the dog won't be as much work as the kid

onetruevibe · March 30th, 2011, 09:51 AM

Yeah, but my wife and kids have promised to take on much of the responsibility.

I call bullsh!t.

EDIT: @Kayla - bless you for being so optimistic!

I tell my wife the same thing, if she's willing to feed, walk, cleanup after the dog twice a day, regardless of rain, snow, heat, blizzard.. she can have a dog.

You call right, at least for the kids. I remember when I was little my sister and I promised to look after the dog. That lasted less than a week.

CThunder-blue · March 30th, 2011, 12:48 PM

Cute puppy! Make sure you crate train him/her asap if you don't want to step in doggy doo in your house. What kind of dog is it?

tiggen · March 30th, 2011, 03:59 PM

Is that a GSP?

greg737 · March 30th, 2011, 04:03 PM

Is that a springer spaniel? Is it a male? If both are true you could be headed toward some really heinous butt-stink once he reaches maturity (google: springer spaniel butt stink).

CynicalC · March 30th, 2011, 04:25 PM

I'm confused. Was your local animal shelter all out of dogs?

Man, I've been reading up on this breed for over a year now and stink butt has never come up.

Well, it's female, so maybe it won't be an issue. However, if stink butt does emerge...well, she'll fit right in with the boys

wife =

There are no "local animal shelters" in Western PA.

When we're through our pets we either toss them in the lake or feed them to the Amish.

We do the same with old people.

kkim · March 30th, 2011, 05:26 PM

so, I take it the Amish are pretty fat around your parts?

woof!

Damn you for making me laugh when I was being serious. Where are you in Western PA? I have family in Wexford, Pittsburgh and Cranberry.

HA! Thanks for coping with my ridiculous sense of humor.

The Cranberry area is actually really nice - a lot of folks are moving up from the city. It's booming. I'm just a bit north in Slippery Rock.

To answer your question - we wanted this specific breed and as a pup because we will be training her to be a therapy dog for children with Autism.

Although - if she has Stink Butt like Greg pointed out, we may need to re-purpose the pooch

This had me LOL. I thought it was a spaniel of some sort. My family's friends had 3 generations of Cocker Spaniels. They loved hunting rabbits and other small furry creatures.

Yeah - my brothers are big upland bird hunters and want me to train her to quarter and retrieve and all that jazz. We'll see....

First things first - house training.

Yeps...it will be tough to discipline a pup with that face.

My wife won't fall for it though. I've been trying to work the face over on her for years with no traction. Maybe I'm just not cute enough.

The wife is holding her own. She handles the dog all day while I'm at work.

The kids on the other hand pretty much spend their time trying to undo all of the training I've accomplished thus far.

For example - we all know pups like to jump up on people and nibble on hands. Well, I had pretty much eliminated that behavior until last weekend when my kids thought it would be fun to lie on their backs on the floor, schmear peanut butter on their faces, and let the dog have at it.

So yeah....keep the dog, lose the kids.
