Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Ugh... i hate it when people are cold toward animals like that. Good for Buddy and Dollie that they have you, and that you have your own house.
My dad suggested i give up my dog too. And in my case it's worse because I'm living in his house. See, my mom doesn't like dogs. My dad does, but as my mom doesn't, he takes her side a lot. Weird thing is, my dad is the one who found the puppy on the street and brought her home. I immediately volunteered to look after her, cause my dad was planning on giving her away. Months later he suggested i get rid of her because she didn't 'function' as a dog. Meaning that she never barks when strangers approach the house. I don't care. I think it's better that she doesn't bark, otherwise my mom would be all annoyed because of all the noise. To me it's weird that they can't see that my pup doesn't have to 'do' anything, she's my baby!!!
Good for me that my parents put up with me. They may not feel the same way i do, but once we talked, they haven't brought it up again.
Also, i get made fun of by my sister. She tells me i need to have a baby or get a life, because i take 'too much' care of my dog. Those are the people that just have a dog to look pretty in the yard. They just go out to give them water and food and that's it.

Awww sweetie pie!  she does look very tired... surgery is always exhausting. She looks so cute snuggling with the pink piggy. Hugs and kisses for Phoebe, may she recover soon!

Yeah she is. So cute and sweet. And very playful. She's always so happy! 

Who's Sam? lol.
She IS cute isn't she? 
And she's not even that photogenic, i always think she's looking particularly cute, i take the picture, and... let's just say i think the camera doesn't quite capture what I'm seeing in real life.
I don't know what she may have in her dna, some sort of shepherd i think.

Her ears are high on her head only when she's 'interested' in something (which is almost always, lol, she's very alert to everything). And mostly her white/tan ear!  Otherwise they're kind of flat on her head.

Thanks! She doesn't have any dew claws on her back legs, she just has a single dew claw on her front. I had read this about pyrs, so that and the fact that she's on the smaller side (I measured her, and she's 18 inches to her shoulders), tells me she's not a pure breed pyr. I'm speculating she may have some pyr genes in her, cause the resemblance is there... that's why i was asking about normal growth patterns for pyrs. I wondered if she may have the size of a pyr, apparently not though. Phew! lol. Big dogs are great, but my backyard isn't that big, and I'm pretty lanky so i worried that i would get dragged around when i take her out for a walk!

Thanks everyone! I'm sorry i hadn't reported back... After posting my browser shut down, and I couldn't find this site again. I just stumbled on it again luckily!
Julie, my dog looks a lot like your Chammie!!
I don't  have recent pictures of my pup here, but I'm posting one from when i first got her, she was 8 weeks here (according to the vet). But I will be posting new pictures, I hope i can get them up here by tomorrow.
I'm also posting a picture of an actual pyr i found on the net, that looks just like my dog. That will help give you a better idea of what she looks like for now, until i can post some actual recent picture of her.
And don't worry, Danelnsane, i don't mind. It's actually better to have my own thread.
