Title: There be puppies....
Post by: Rico on June 08, 2007, 09:01:02 AM
Our next door neighbor's dog Zoe had 10 puppies early this week (5 boys and 5 girls).  She's a golden retriever and breed with another golden too.  Zoe is a sweetheart of a dog too.  They have kindly offered to give us a puppy.  They are very cute!  So it looks like a new dog is in our near future.    :porthos

AWESOME!  They are so cute!

Tess, our wonder dog, had eight puppies years ago,

and we just saw one of the the other day.  Except she bred with a big black lab, and the puppies were HUGE!  I felt sorry for her.  We got  her fixed after that because she couldn't handle it.  It kind of made her crazy.  She's ok now, but at the time we almost lost her.  We sure loved the puppies though, they were a blast.  Dogs are great!

So, have you been thinking of a cool name for your new puppy?

Awwwwww --- cute.   So, what does the cat think of all this ???  Is she declawed ?

Almost positive we will pick a girl.  I've been favoring the name Kaylee (since the mom is named Zoe - get the Firefly connection?)....

Lynn and the boys have some other name ideas.  Nice pictures of the other dogs too guys.  I do love animals - cats, dogs, etc.  It will be nice to hear the pitter-patter of little paws again.  ;)

P.S.  Mark - Dominoe our cat managed to live with our previous dog, so it will be ok.  Yes, she is declawed and an indoor cat only.

Had to babysit the new pups a bit this morning while the neighbors were out.  It's amazing to see how much instinct is in the puppies and the momma dog too.  They make these little squeaking noises as the eat and while they sleep too.  And they are getting even cuter....

If I was a dog person I'd want one those. BUT I'm not. Sad but true! I'm into cats!

You know Kevin.. I was the same way.. grew up with cats and loved them. Got a dog for the first time a few years ago and couldn't imagine my life without her.

My current wife had a dog when we married and he really took to me. He was a Chow/Keeshan mix and looked like a little bear. I liked him alright but he left us a couple years ago for the great dog pound in the sky and then we bought two cats. Cats just demand so much less from you than dogs and that's one of the many reasons I like them. I won't say I'd never have another dog it would just have to be pretty special.

I've always enjoyed all types of pets and animals.  Even wanted to be a vet in my early college days.  Growing up we had pretty much every type of pet you could have.  Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, turtles, snakes, gerbils, rabbits, you name it.

One thing I'm very convinced of even more now is the calming effect of having a pet - especially a dog.  When Cheyenne was still with us and I would come home from work just seeing her so happy to see me would erase any tension the day had brought me.  Looking forward to having a dog around again.

I think I like cats more then dogs.  Had a few growing up and while they more fun then cats -- one of our dogs had puppies.   OMG -- no one told me they "clean up" after the little guys.   Still gives me **shivers**

Well, my two monsters have been "hermedically sealed" so none of that will be happening around here.   I will admit -- nothing cuter then babies/baby animals.

my favorite baby animals are guinea pigs.  They are the cutest little things, and they come out with all of their hair.  They start squeaking right away, and you can hold them right off the bat.  We have had the guinea pig farm at our house for years.  Sadly, we are on our last pig, with the kids growing up, my wife doesn't want to take care of it anymore.  So no more pigs...   BUT WAIT!  Grand kids!  :)  That is on the horizon I suppose!  What do you think Nathan?

Cute pups man!  Gotta love puppies!

Are your sure that wasn't Beverly Crusher...? No wait! Amanda changed her back

Anyhow congratulations about the puppies. It looks like man's best friend will be by your side soon.  My question is, what do you think you'll name your puppy? Or is he/she already named?

We have a list of many names going right now.  Top picks are Hayley or Kaylee.

Just one of the names the family is tossing around - no special meaning.  They have a whole page of names going so far.
