Evening thread?

I don't let Tory sleep on the bed all night anymore. She sleeps on her own bed. But she likes to cuddle before then.

raes19 · May 2012

MuSu - H has a coworker that breeds them. They tend to bond with one person, and are protective of that person. Unless you socialize them really well from day one, they won't even try to get along with other people and also tend to be aggressive towards other animals.

Lynda - the biggest threat my boxer poses would be getting knocked with her big paws as she tries to hug you. The chu-wienie acts tough but as soon as you make any move like you're going to pick him up he just lays down and wags his tail. The chihuahua would just pee herself and hide in a corner.

lyndausvi · May 2012

Night ladies. I'm off to read in bed.

musicalsunlight · May 2012

Huh, interesting, raes. I didn't know that. That makes me sad because I love how cute they are.

pokepoke27 · May 2012

Goodnight Lynda!

Chrissy - Ideally I'd like for my animals to only be on furniture when I'm on the furniture. So when I'm on the sofa he knows it's okay to come snuggle - but when I'm cooking in the kitchen he lays either in his doggy bed or on the floor. I don't think there is a way to do that though.

<div>Chihuahuas are generally one person dogs. I really dislike them and would never have one as a pet for myself. They tend to get super attached to one person and can be very agressive to anyone (human or animal) that comes near their human. However, the one that my mom adopted must have been socialized very well because she is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. She loves to love.</div>

baystateapple · May 2012

Okay, I have a fat kitty who is trying to snuggle, which is usually my signal for bed.

Night all!

Hi NDA. What are you watching?

pokepoke27 · May 2012

Goodnight Bay!

musicalsunlight · May 2012

I'm not a big fan of teacup sized dogs in general, Poke. heh. I mean, they can be really sweet or cute but I like my dogs to be big and dopey.

Also -- re: dog on the furniture. We've taught Tory that she can only get on the bed by invitation. She waits for the words "Come up" and then she will. Otherwise she knows it is not ok. I think that is the way to train them to keep off until they know its ok.

angelstar975 · May 2012

I don't like tiny dogs either, but I do love teacup pigs! I'm contributing so much to this conversation, popping up every 20 minutes, lol. Just opened the wine so I'll be KUI soon :

pokepoke27 · May 2012

It seems so obvious when you say it like that Musu. I don't know why I thought it couldn't be done - I blame the liqueur. I'd love to train whatever dog I end up having to do that. Does Tory whine when she wants to get up and you won't let her?

crash2729 · May 2012

Hey y'all.

We just got back from the store and now FI and I are watching Cars 2.

FI wanted a husky...until we were in the vets lobby with two of them. Hair was flying EVERYWHERE.

He then changed his mind.

angelstar975 · May 2012

Crash Yikes, heavy shedding might be enough to change my mind as well. Poke You should try them on. Better to know now if they don't fit than to be scrambling to figure out a different outfit tomorrow!

musicalsunlight · May 2012

Sometimes Tory will whine. That usually just means she wants attention though. If I say "No" in a firm voice, she'll give up within a few minutes.

<div>What kind is he? I'm sorry if he's a Chihuahua - I hope I didn't offend you. I know not all of them are little sh!ts (like my moms sweet doggie) just all the other ones I've met.</div>

pokepoke27 · May 2012

Musu - My chu-wienie will whine, then growl, then bark until you look at him and say "What?!?" and then he jumps onto your lap and licks you like crazy. But it's more of a game than actual training for him, because he will keep jumping up on you without being told it's okay if he's not in the mood for games.

raes19 · May 2012

Poke - He is a papillon. They are really smart and good natured, not brats like a lot of small breeds tend to be. I wanted one most of my life, but we always had big dogs. The second H and I started looking into buying a house, I started researching breeders. We picked Westley up four days after we closed on our house.
This is what he looked like when I got him:

angelstar975 · May 2012

Aww, he's so cute, Raes! I don't think I've ever seen that kind of dog before. I've pretty much always had big dogs. The smallest dog I've had is the poodle we have now, but she's not super small, she's like 30 lbs.

musicalsunlight · May 2012

I didn't even think I wanted a dog when J said he wanted to get one. I liked dogs but didn't think I was ready for one. Then I met Tory. and my world was over. And I became a crazy dog lady.

pokepoke27 · May 2012

Raes - I love baby Papillons! From my experience they're good with other dogs too. FMIL has one and my uncle (the one with the King Charles) had one.

FMIL got her Papillon (Lucky) shortly after her husband passed away. She had him for about three years (I think) before she moved. She noticed he wasn't eating his food. She tried all different kind and he just wouldn't do it. But anytime the cat was near he'd eat like no tomorrow. So she got another little dog (a Pomeranian) and feeds them both at the same time. Lucky now eats all of his food : )

angelstar975 · May 2012

I'm sure I'll type FI by accident for weeks or months after we get married... just like I write the previous year on everything every January.

raes19 · May 2012

Yeah, they are really good with other animals. He loves to play with my parents' golden retriever and my grandma's beagle. I felt bad about him not having another animal at home to play with, so we adopted a shelter kitten so he would have a friend. They fight sometimes, but for the most part they are really good together.
BFFs:

musicalsunlight · May 2012

Haha that reminds me, Angel. When I worked at the bank, I always had to know the date since, ya know, we write the date on like 2 million pieces of paper per day. For some reason, one day in 2007, I wrote my year as '12 on everything. For whatever reason I decided it was 5 years in the future for a day. We didn't realize it til we went through my work a few days later, lol.

angelstar975 · May 2012

Haha, that's hilarious, MuSu. I've never gotten the date quite that wrong.
