Dog Owner Chat v3 ~Open!~

[ouija.]

I FINALLY GOT MY PUPPY
After ten years of begging and hinting I finally have a dog of my
own. I've been promised one so many times before and I can't
believe it actually happened!! My parents surprised me on Christmas
Eve with the most beautiful girl I could have ever asked for! I
named her Flynn, she's 4 months old, and she's a German/Aussie
Shepherd mix. I love her tons, I've never been more happy!





She's so well mannered too! She stays by my side, doesn't get into things,
listens and learns very quickly, and walks perfectly calm next to me
when we go on walks! I'm obsessed. She is indeed my fluffy baby v.v
The only thing is she's a bit shy, I'm guessing her previous owners didn't
socialize her as much as they should have, but she's coming along great!

ughghghugh sorry for the spiel, I'm so excited!

AH! I think I just had an overload of cute. German Shepherds have always been a favorite of mine, one of the reasons I was immediately drawn to my lil baby Chance, a GS, Lab, Husky/Hound? mix. All the luck for the future, she looks like an angel!

Aww, so cute! I'm getting a dog very soon, as one of my birthday presents (b-day is Dec. 5th) was a dog, but my family went on vacation to California really soon after my birthday so I couldn't have one right away (sad face) but now I'm getting one super soon and I'm so excited! My family is going looking at Second Chance for a young/adult dog to bring home with us, not breed-specific but with the right temperament and (I hope) a big dog because big dogs are KAWAII!

[Keriae]

We went and got Mary today! She's already settling in really well; no signs of stress, apart from the car journey home. We were given a bag of Wainwright's dry food, though I don't think we'll be continuing to buy it. I'll post some pictures later c:

We had a sad time during the Christmas time :C
Lara was sick and we were looking for any vet we could find during this time. Luckily, we found one and we could help Lara. But it took the whole day. Because of that, we were late with our Christmas preparations.

At least now she's feeling good. The weather's quite good today, so we had a walk.

It's her second Christmas with us, and previous year we had the same problem! She wasn't eating anything, what normally isn't a problem.
I hope she won't be sick next year. It isn't nice when you see your dog's sad for Christmas :c
Luckily, Rafi is healthy ^^

@ Imzadi83:
thank you very much for this nice and helpful answers, and really fast too,... i did look at them today, and think i will try them out.
the toothbrush i think i try the normal as you did say, i already found a bamboo one^^

chewys and so are a bit difficult...shes a big dog...most are gone in two-five bites, so i always need to find bigger ones or hard baked one that last longer^^...and most sell only small but maybe i try the raw chicken neck and see how she likes them or the duck feet ^^
the raw meet bones...where do you get the best and do you give wild or cow or something else(with marrow inside?)...?
...pig we dont give

- i also like to ask, what about fish, do you or someone else feed your dog them....there are whole dry fish to buy but im not sure if they could shock on part of them...

-How about this, do you would feed them, give to Play? are they any good for Dogs, do they like it? :

Thats great that you can get a dog, hope you will have lots of fun with her or him ^^
may i ask why only an Young or adult...why not also try to look at the older ones...when you are big in sports you still could find one that likes to run and jump and some of those are great first time Dogs ^^
and how strong and active are you, most larger breeds also are strong, may need a good Trainer, and need lots of walking and running each day...
i find a boxer funny...they are fun and playful till old Age, when you are youger you will have lots of growing with them its as if you have a second sibbling^^ but im way to much into crazy Terrier and large herd protection dogs to go for them

do you know what breed? or a mix? did you already had a look at there Website to see what you may like?

Just a quick update!

So BluMalinois gave me a trick training book for Christmas with 101 tricks in it!!! So I can't wait to get started training Addy and Izzy some fun tricks. Izzy and Addy also got presents from her dog Ace, so some little stuffed toys, a ball and some treats!!

Blu and I also gave Addy a trim and we were able to try out my new grooming kit. For my first time grooming a dog ever, I think she turned out pretty good!!! Of course I will need more practice but she does't look scrappy anymore. The wild fur on her ears was really bothering me and now it is no longer there!!!
Anyway, here are some pictures of the pups! * Crop if quoting*

I'm very active, as is my older brother, so my family is looking for a young or adult dog to keep up with us. We also don't want to be worried about a puppy, as caring for one is difficult and we probably won't have the time. We also don't want to have to potty-train animals, and puppies are adopted a lot but adult dogs don't get a ton of attention. No one really cares what breed it is, and we all have experience with dogs even though my brother and I have never owned dogs ourselves. We're also hoping for a dog that's patient and won't eat the cat's food. The cat is another reason that we want a big dog, because for some reason she hates smaller dogs even though she LOVES big dogs. Also, we don't want the dog we get to eat all the cat food that we have to leave out when we're gone during the day.

Unless you put the cat food away the dog will get into it, its a self rewarding behavior and very hard to break. Just keep the cat food up high or feed your cats meals.
