How much is that doggy in the window?

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

aww he is a cutie

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

I bet he'd play catch with me too

Ellie won't play catch. You throw the ball, she runs and get's it, but then she won't let it go so you can throw it again.

One throw and you're done playing

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

I've always had bigger dogs than Ellie but mine would go get the balll or whatever and then I would have to fight to get it back(tug-a-war) and then throw it again.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Yeah, it's probably not an unusual trait, but Ellie WILL not let go, I think I'd pull her teeth out if I did what it took to get the ball back.

She actually will fall asleep gripping the ball in a tug of war with me!

I've tried smooth surfaced toys, but she won't play with those, only with the cloth ones, and those are the ones she can dig her teeth into.

WebGuy · Doesn't Do Windows

Yeah, I think to the dog keeping it from you is 1/2 of the fun of the fetch game.

My dog does the same thing unless I quit trying to take it from her. If I don't take it, she will drop it right by my foot but then keep her nose 6" from it. If I try to get it, she'll quickly grab it again. If I don't do anything, she'll wait about 30 seconds or so then nudge me to play and she'll let me have it then.

Brando does look like a fun little guy. Someone will give him a good home soon, I'm sure.

CP · Lord of the Lair

go for it. get another dog. they are awesome.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Aw, he's adorable! I almost ended up with a little white kitten yesterday. I'm lucky our lease only lets us have two cats, otherwise I'd be a crazy cat lady.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

He is a cutie. I want a few. But I don't want to do all the work or have the expense that comes with the animals. Yes, I am lazy. Plus I like my freedom to come and go as I please without worrying to go home to take the dog out. I am out of the house 11 hours a day for just work.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Thats why I think when Ellie's not around anymore I'm done with dogs Fuzzy. I want to be able to go someplace without worrying about getting home to let the dog out.

You can't even really travel with them unless you're willing to stay in the few hotels/motels that accept dogs and pay their higher rates for having a dog. The last time I stayed at a Days Inn they charged an extra $25 a night for Ellie. That's nuts.

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

Oh to be able to have the dog I want! But as long as I rent I will not have anything more than fish. Someday I will have my dog

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

I really do like animals. I guess I like my freedom more. And I have a big problem leaving a dog all alone at home for 11 hours a day. And what if I wanted to go out with some people right after work? Then I could be longer. I don't think that is fair to the animal.

That's why I have cats.

I will tell you, I do not miss the fur from either animal.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Meh, fur is a condiment and a fashion accessory.

Does anyone's current dog actually match their sign?

Our culture is really going to the dogs these days! More and more pups are showing up in the media, both as playthings of the rich and famous and as the stars of their own reality shows, but loyal pet owners everywhere know that dogs are much more than fashion accessories or popular TV subjects. They truly can be your best friend and are incredibly intelligent, compassionate, hardworking, and loyal. All breeds are not the same, however, and choosing the right dog can make all the difference in the relationship you have with your pooch. Keep reading to see how astrology helps to guide you to your ultimate canine companion!

Aries
The American Staffordshire Terrier (Amstaff for short) is a confident dog that makes a very loyal and devoted companion for the Ram. They have a rep for being slightly aggressive - something you can relate to! - but your dedication to training them correctly will make all the difference in their demeanor. Amstaffs are very trusting and amiable but can be stubborn at times; however, if you assert yourself like a true Aries can, they'll be your compliant companions.

Taurus
Your ideal dog companion is the German Shepherd. This loyal and very intelligent breed is obedient and learns quickly, making them extremely easy to train; they also have a regal air about them that you admire. Some German Shepherds can be quite aloof and serious, like a lot of Taureans, but they are also known for being highly effective watchdogs, which helps put your security-conscious mind at ease.

Gemini
The quick and agile Border Collie fits your personality perfectly. Highly intelligent and trainable, the Border Collie has lots of stamina and determination. They're also eager to please and very quick to learn, which makes them easily trainable and adaptable to your ever-changing world. Border Collies need a high level of mental and physical stimulation, just like you do, which is why they make a great companion for on-the-go Gemini.

Cancer
The Labrador Retriever is your ideal dog, not only for its sweet-natured, loving, and loyal ways but also because they are wonderful family pets. Labs are extremely friendly and sociable with a mild manner and laid-back attitude, and because they love to join in a wide range of activities and have lots of love and affection to shower upon their family, they're the perfect companion to the family-centric Crab.

Leo
Grand in stature, the loyal and honorable Bullmastiff is your type of dog. This dog is huge, so you are sure to turn heads wherever you go, giving you both the attention you crave. But beyond their superficial appeal, they also have a great amount of loyalty and devotion and are cheerful, confident, and attentive pets - all characteristics that would make any Leo dog owner swell with pride.

Virgo
The noble-looking Weimaraner is perfect for the Virgo with discerning taste. Weimaraners are very strong-minded and independent dogs, and because they have boundless energy, they can really benefit from the punctual walks that most Virgo natives are willing to give them. Sticking to a precise schedule also helps keep these dogs away from destructive behaviors they are sometimes prone to; once they know that they can depend on you, you will be able to depend on them to reach their full potential.

Libra
Affectionate, gentle, and sweet, the Whippet is a charming dog with a peaceful demeanor. Whippets do like to run around and play, but they are also happy enjoying the creature comforts of home; this adaptability makes them more comfortable with your indecisiveness than other breeds may be. These dogs love the attention of their owners, enjoy interactive play, and will be sure to appreciate your creativity when it comes to finding activities you can enjoy together.

Scorpio
Perhaps, as a strong and powerful Scorpio, you don't picture yourself with any of the toy breeds, especially a Chihuahua, but you may be surprised to find that they are quite a good fit with the Scorpio personality. These little dogs are curious, full of confidence for their size, and they are very loyal to their families, demonstrating quite a jealous streak if another pet or person is getting more attention than they are. Sound familiar?

Sagittarius
You need a dog that will roll with the waves, one who is as happy at home as they are on a road trip with you, and that dog is a Golden Retriever. This breed is popular for many reasons, among them being their social personalities and real passion for life. If you're up for doing it, so are they! Just make sure to enroll them in doggie daycare or get them a human or canine companion if you are gone a lot and can't take them with you as these pups do not like to be left alone.

Capricorn
The Pug is tenacious and devoted but also has a cheerful way about him, much like the typical Capricorn. These dogs do not need a lot of grooming or maintenance and can get along fairly well without a big yard in which to frolic, which allows you to be a responsible dog owner and still keep your hectic work schedule. Although Pugs can be quite willful at times, they will respond well to your methodical training methods.

Aquarius
OK, so you aren't the most likely of all the Sun Signs to own a dog, but those of you who crave a dog to call your own will want to consider the gracious Rhodesian Ridgeback. This is a breed of intelligence, which you can appreciate, and is also very independent and willing to follow the road less traveled with you. Just keep in mind that they have very intense sight and sound triggers, so they will wander off if something stirs their curiosity.

Pisces
Faithful, affectionate, and maybe just a little lazy, the Saint Bernard is a huge dog with a huge heart - in other words, your perfect pooch. Saint Bernards are typically very calm, quiet, patient, docile, and loyal, traits with which Fish can identify. These dogs do need the companionship of their owners and are not suited to people with hectic, busy schedules, but compassionate Pisces is more willing than any other sign to accommodate the Saint Bernard's needs.

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

nope. Although growing up we had a German Shepard that was actually my sister's who is a Taurus. But she doesn't have one now.

I am a capricorn and i want a Siberian Husky

my husband is a Pisces and he had a ****er spaniel but also thinks Great Danes are cool

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Wow, I've always wanted a Lab or a Golden Retriever, and that says I should get a lab and my husband should get a golden retriever!
