dajarrel Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. -Anonymous Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. -Will Rogers There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. -Ben Williams A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. -Andy Rooney We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made. -M. Acklam Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate. - Sigmund Freud I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult. -Rita Rudner A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. -Robert Benchley Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog. -Franklin P. Jones If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons. -James Thurber If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise. -Unknown My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money. -Joe Weinstein Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul -- chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth! -Anne Tyler Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. -Mark Twain You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!' - Dave Barry Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them. -Phil Pastoret My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am. dj Edited December 30, 2005 by dajarrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 "You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!'" - Dave Barry "The dog was created especially for children. He is the God of frolic." - Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) American clergyman "The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too." - Samuel Butler "I care not for a man's religion whose dog or cat are not the better for it." - Abraham Lincoln "If you don't like the grand picture, just apply dog logic to life. Get petted, eat often, be lovable and loved, sleep a lot, dream of a leash-free world." - Gregory Benford, "Foundation's Fear" "In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him." - Dereke Bruce, Taipei, Taiwan "To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs." - Aldous Huxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chills1994 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) One day, I'll get another dog, maybe another Vizsla. The house is so quiet without him now. I still expect to see him through the front door's glass when I come home. Thanks for posting the quotes dajorrel, et al.

Ivan In the case of our new Olde English Bulldogge pup, it is hear him snoring, see his whole back end shaking, feel him biting, and smell,,,,,,well, we won't go there, but he's all Bulldogge. This pup could knock a buzzard off a post,,,,gasy is a mild term. And we've even gone to some higher quality food. It was truly coincidental that his name is "Stank". I've told my wife, she couldn't have picked a more appropriate name. H4444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

et45 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I saw this a long time ago,"If you can start the day without caffeine,If you can get going without pep pills,If you can always be cheerful,ignoring aches and pains,If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,through no fault of your own,something goes wrong,If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,If you can ignore a freinds limited education and never correct him,If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,If you can face the world without lies and deceit,If you can conquer tension without medcal help,If you can relax without liquor,If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,If you can say honestly,that deep in your heart you have no predudice against color, creed,religion,or politics.....Then,my friend you are almost as good as your dog."

blackdragon Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 We had a fiasco this last weekend with my brown dogs. Goes like this. My wife takes our two brown dogs to Pets M$%T for the doggie spa. 10 minutes after she leaves... A call. Please come back one of your dogs broke a nail in the kennel. When my wife gets there. Blood every where. They take him to " Their Vet". The vet proceeds to remove one COMPLETE nail on one foot, And a partial on the other. Ok, These dogs are 9yrs old. They have hunted under the most extreme conditions. We paid for their vet, We paid for the "Doggie Spa" and Last night Jack, was bleeding so bad that I have to get my carpet cleaned. A $300.00 " Doggie Spa. Sent a real Sh$%y email and they said they would pass it on to the corporate head quarters. We will see! I sell guns for a living. I have replaced firearms, That I knew the customer squibbed!!!! No questions asked! I felt like I had taken my son to the doctor, and they had cut off two fingers!!!

n2ipsc Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I have a friend who has 6 Great Danes and their all indoor dogs... I think it's intrinsic to the breed. When we open the back door to let ours out and he hears the wind or sees rain, it's backpedal into the house - and good luck pushing him out! He can be dancing around with his knees crossed and his eyes watering, but, forget it if it's nasty out... Hardy working breed my eye... 165 lb candy-a_s is more like it...
