My New Best friend

“wow, you have a red x for a friend...i really think you need to get out more y2.... :D”

“Damn, that didn't work http://www.thebackpacker.com/pictures/pic/2q54adec.php”

“oh he's pretty! what a lovely best friend :D”

“awwww, that thing is SO cute!! is it a girl? love the name.”

“oh wait...i thought it looked like a girl. but with the name, i guess it would be a boy!”

“you should geet your buddy a mate then give us all the puppies :D”

“He's a big strapping boy. He's five or six, from an aminal sanctuary. Diesel (tempted to call him Vin) - He's only fostered at the moment, as I have to see how he takes to life in an apartment. Docile and kinda lazy. The sanctuary people were happy to let me take him even if he has to go back, as he's been kennelled for a year, so the break and walks and stuff will do him good.”

“Welcome to parenthood, Y2!”

“Thanks Embear, not sure how it's going to go with him, got to wait and see.”

“Is that a real dog or one of them wussy English dogs meant to chase vermin down holes?

I don't see any legs in that picture so I'm assuming a wussy dog.”

“Y2 - Congrats on the dog.

Also you are having email.”

“I shall go see.
He's a Malamute Bearmagnet.”

“Hey Y2, it looks like Diesel really needs his teeth cleaned. They're really yellow.”

“Malamute????

How's he gonna get them Capitol Hill rats? They're big but not that big!”

“yeah, I noticed they need a little work there too.”

“Malamutes are great, I've had em for 30 years now. They don't like the summers in the south, however. You'll get attached in a hurry.”

“I hate to tell ya ynami, but your new girl friend is a dog.

That thing looks like a wolf!”

“That's great ynami. While you're at work he can occupy himself by chewing up your hiking boots.”

“Maybe that pooch can eat some of the Capitol Hill squirrels, unless Geo would object.”

“I'm shocked Y2 found a place to live that accepts dogs that big.

You did tell them, right Y2?”

“It's a condo and there are lots of dogs in the building already.”

“Dogs just bark at squirrels, sometimes gather up the energy to pretend they are chasing them, otherwise ignore them.”

“Y2, your building has gone to the dogs”

“He seems to want to chase then, but I have to say he's not the speediest creature on the block. I haven't let him off the leash yet and won't be for a while.”

“Our 14 year old dog loves to chase squirrels, just enough to chase the up a tree. Doesn't run fast enough to get 'em. Kinda tease.”

“Diesel is a handsome little alaskan malamute. love the name. lot of work in front of you. (reason why we don't have a dog yet)”

““Hey Y2, it looks like Diesel really needs his teeth cleaned. They're really yellow.”

what'd you expect treebait, the poor dog belongs to a Brit afterall!









j/k Y2, don't hit me. Cool dog - I've been thinking I'll get one myself once I get resettled soon. Prolly a lab though.”

“His teeth are yellow??

Just keep some 2 by 4's around for him to chew.”

“Rick, I thought I was your best friend , ya limey. I got a lab about 3 months ago. His name is Celo.”

“This is my new best friend. I bought it and a case of Depends so I don't have to waste time getting out of the recliner. You guys may never see me again! LOL!

”

“My right hand is still my best friend.”

“Does the left know about you two? LOL!”

“Hey Nigal, check out new Grand Theft Auto coming out tomorrow. Get Vice City first. You will go through those depends real fast@!”

“The first time I sat down and burned 5 hours on it. My head and eyes were killing me. It's a lot differnt going from a 20" monitor to a big screen TV. I've been playing Onimusha (a futal Japan adventure) that just too good for words. I'll check out the GTA. Thanks.”

“Y2, that's great of you to get a rescue dog. I hope it works out. Your dog sure is nice looking.

This is the site for my dog, Capri. There were no chihuahuas available at the chi rescue in WA when I was looking for one, but since then, I have found other chi rescues, but I had bought her already.

Here is my best friend who people think she looks like a malamute or siberian husky, but she is not since she is full grown at 3-1/2 pounds.”

“Y2, I saw an adoption show on the animal planet channel where the gal took the rescue dog home, and he was used to being in a small, tight kennel all the time by his previous owners. She brought him home, and he was a big dog, and she found him standing on her kitchen table, lol.

He did other wild things, but he was not a bad dog. He was just never free, and did not know what his boundaries were . He ended
up being a great dog.

If necessary, Petsmart gives obedience classes for about $90. I even see the animal control centers give obedience classes, and I wonder if they are free or not.”

“Thanks Lipstick. He's actually pretty obedient. Willful at times, but eventually does as he's told. Hopefully I won't find my place wrecked when I get home.”

“Sometimes the left is a good friend, more for a change of pace then anything else.

Y2 - can I walk your dog? it's a puppy, right?”

“what a sweety! have fun w/ him!”

“Wow, what a great looking dog!!!! Hope it all works out. Huskies are neat.”

“awww.... i want him!”

“Y2 - can I walk your dog? it's a puppy, right?”

Maybe I might want to clarify that?

Puppy = Babemagnet.

Thank you. Goodnight.”

“Y2, my dog wasn't brought up to chew toys or have treats. The breeder was too busy giving attention to her "show" dogs, but I would try out some chew treats/rawhide for him to see which ones he likes. That will keep him busy during the day.

Chihuahua scam: Some chi breeders breed their dogs with other types of dogs that are bigger, so they can get more puppies, and make more money. A chi can sometimes have only one pup at a time or maybe 2 or 3. My friend got a pedigree chihuahua that got huge, and did non-chihuahua activity that was destructive to her home, and she gave her the best care, chew treats, toys, and she had other chi dogs that she owned to play with her.

Recently a woman saw her dog, and said, "Oh, I have a dog like that. It's a chihuahua/Jack Russell mix", and she thinks they came from the same breeder. While her chihuahuas snooze, this seemingly mixed dog is up all day running wild. She accused the breeder of selling her a mixed breed dog, nevermind that she paid a big price for a purebred chihuahua.”

“bearmagnet, aren't you gettin' your ass grabbed enough at your second job with out a babemagnet?”

“Y2, cool dog. Hope you get to keep him.”

“"aren't you gettin' your ass grabbed enough at your second job with out a babemagnet?”

"Enough"???????????

I have never said "enough" but it is a goal.”

“"Maybe I might want to clarify that?

Puppy = Babemagnet."

I find it to be quite the opposite. When Honey was a puppy she was the cutest thing and all the ladies wanted to pet her. My wife made a joke about it and I told her, "Dear, they don't even see me. All they see is Honey.". LOL!”

“Y2, your new friend is a cutie!”
