: I'm gonna be the neighborhood *dog lady*
: Bosmum August 03, 2005, 12:40:35 PM
And my husband may divorce me  ;D

I'm getting another mix, a dobie/shar pei mix!  Sounds weird, right??  Check out the CUTIES!!  My husband only wants one more pup and he likes the blond one (typical male).  I hate to leave the other pup....hopeful ly we can find a good foster for him!

Anyone had this type of mix before??  I'm wondering how big the dog will get??

HA! HA! I AM the neighborhood dog lady!! The kids all come over to my house to play with the dogs (we don't have 2-legged children of our own). They literally knock on the door and ask if the dogs can play!

Noone really knows my name but they all seem to knows Spikes. Even the people who own his friends that I sometimes bring him over to their yards to play with don't know my name. Heck they even know Spikes full name.

The kids on my street do that too.  It is getting so bad that I have to pretend not to be home.  And when I am trying to work outside I pretend not to hear them for a while so I can get stuff done.

That's OK. I don't really know my neighbor's names, but I know their dogs' names!!

I am the same way.  I have neighbors and their names are "Maggie's Mom" and "Max's Dad" and the stupid mean dog's people.

I've had issues with my neighbors in the past, but I love the ones that I have now. Unfortunetly, my favorite neighbor has their house up for sale and will probably move around the first of the year...sniff sniff.
Who knows who will end up there. We are know as the crazy people with the big dogs in our town, and we ain't talking a one horse town. We are actually infamous in the Chicago suburbs LOL.

HOLY MOLY!  Well, we picked up Princess Fiona  :D last Friday.  She's WAY smaller than I imagined, but Bo likes her.  It's just weird...we're big dog people.  I barely know how to handle a little dog.

LOL!  When we brought my son's Cocker home for a "trial" run to see if he would fit in, I was like no friggin way!  This boy is 23 pounds and 3 1/2 years old, my big boys leg weighs more than he does!  Alas he fit in wonderfully, and my son loves him, he is a great little boys dog and already trained, they play for hours every day.  So Max stays, but man is he SMALL.  He likes to pretend he is a great big dog, with great big growls and barks when someone knocks on the door, then the door is opened and "POOF"  where's max?  Hiding under Aidan and behind his tail!  It is hilarious!  He is so small he can stand under aidan, I will have to try and get a picture of it!  Shana

Grace can still go under Lady.  Missy would hide under Lady too.  she was so little.  I could pick her up and not pull a disc.

My brother had two teacup chiwawwhatever s (mojos), the largest was fully grown at 3 & 1/2 LBS. The funniest thing was to watch them play and growl just like real dogs. They met Merlin once... they were outside and he peed on one of them. I convinced my brother that it was an accident, but to this day I can still see the look of bored contempt on Mer's face and I am not so sure...LOL

I want to see a picture of the Cocker under the Pyr! hahaha! CUTE!

I'm the neighborhood dog lady for several reasons:

1. If there is an abused dog somewhere, people come to me for help (and a strong-arm!)
2. If someone has found a stray and needs a foster, guess who's there?

So, I'm the neighborhood dog lady, even though we've only got one dog. (For now!)

I love my neighborhood. When the stupid animal control nazis took Cabeza and Bo (my pit), the whole neighborhood wrote letters, called the mayor, called animal control, called my attorney, etc. They rock! When Mark left the door open the other day and Cabeza wandered out, my neighbors let him into their house so he wouldn't get into any trouble. There are three dogs on one side of us, and one on the other, and we all share our yards, its kinda like a mini dog park. We love it.
