Owning Dogs

[Wolfdog91 7,001]

So wife is getting another dog for the house . She wants one that can sleep in the bed with her while I'm gone keep her company and all that. My lil....whatever she is ,Burr ( think she's a Collie of some sort , found her hollering her dead of in a tire under a bridge a few years back when she was a puppy ) will come inside sleep on the floor for a hour or two then wanna go back out. Has no real interest in being a inside dog ( or sleep in a dog house strange enough lol).

I'll tell you what I'm finding weird though is how people who never really had dogs vs someone like me who's ALWAYS had dogs think. I've always had one to four dogs. Never anything super special bred or whatever past some decent abs Shepherds and a red/Australian heeler ( that's where I learned working dogs NEED TO WORK damn thing would have to corral the local cows in the barn at least twice a day. Just run them in real quick and that's it) just mutts for the most part . It's just a common thing down here eveyone has a dog or two to keep critters away, alert you of people and honestly be a scrap disposal. That being said I do love dogs ( more then most people honestly). Anyhow she's talking my head off bout all this stuff and responsibilities, the like and I'm honestly just here like .... Duh honey lol ! like yes we get a dog it needs shots, yes we need to budget money in for extra feed ( yeah a whole extra $30 maybe), yess it might wizz in the house, yes well have to work on some training ( which is another odd thing, I've never really trained a dog per say, they do something I like I praise and reward them and they keep doing it, that and I just kinda work with what they do already and build around that....but I'm not super demanding at all though, seems a lot of these mutts I've gotten half starved off the side of the road really seem to want to do good and please you ,know I had a lil chawhinne that figured out if I pointed her at a rabbit I wanted her to go get it pretty quick, was a fun deal with either her ). I'm just here like why are you overthinking this so much lol. But to me all that's just a given , like I honestly don't even think about it.
Told Dad and he laughed and said him and mom had a similar thing. Well she's at the pound right now saying she JUST LOOKING so I expect there to be a new critter at my house soon

Can you just walk into the shelter over there and grab a dog? Over here you need home inspections etc making it harder for people to adopt them.

Don't listen to gnipper about dogs. He set me up with a right nobhead creature, think it was dropped on its head as a pup

Yeah for the most part. As long as you don't com.off as someone just buying them for bait dogs or something walking in pick the one you want till our a form or two and walk out. At least with the small shelters idk about the other real big ones

No cnut sleeps in my bed! (I do sometimes let women sleep at my feet but that’s a whole other topic)…. You let dogs sleep in your IKEA?…. Dirty arse licking, ball sucking, shit rolling, dead animal stinking wankers ain’t getting nowhere near my bed. Unless I’m camping, then the dickhead can do what he wants… but not in my bed/hammock/comatose dream
