So I Was Thinking About Buying A Dog.

[jtb]

For the last few weeks, I've been thinking about buying a dog, but the only problem is I live in an apartment, work most of the day and have an unreliable roommate. Of course I wouldn't rely on my roommate to do much other then take the dog outside if it looked like it was going to do it's business in the house. Garsk and J do live down the street from me and they have a small enclosure we refer to as the "back yard" so that would be nice when I'm over there hanging out. I'm not really looking for a small dog, but not a huge dog either, due to space constraints.

 

Any thoughts or opinions would help.

don't do it unless you have ample time and space to provide.

I agree. I always feel sorry for apartment dogs, doesn't seem like the good life.

Well my mom's got two small dogs and she takes a lot of time out of her schedule to take care of them, play with them, walk them, etc. They're her new children since we're all grown up.

 

Two thing I will ask though:

 

1-Please please please don't get his vocal cords cut...some pricks who have appartment dogs get that done and I think it's absolutely aweful. If it barks too much, get a house.

 

2-Be aware that, getting an animal means keeping it until the end of the animal's life! No matter what happens (unless it becomes dangerous of course).

PEOPLE DO THAT?!?

[Guest Prosis]

Yeah I saw it twice...dogs living in apartments with dogs who bark and all you hear is a whisper...

[Ravenous megin-sane]

that is fucked.

That's messed.. I'd never do that... the dog we have at my parents house barks for no reason.. but we wouldn't do anything like that..

[Guest Prosis]

It is fucked...and sad because the dog doesn't really seem to know it and still barks...

[RicardoObviouso]

...and dont rely on your friend's yard down the road... anything can change.

 

 

i'd say you're not ready, unless your place of employment allows you to bring your dog to work, and/or you have a girlfriend who will be home to provide for it.

 

when my girlfriend is working, i bring both my dogs to my office and when she's not working they're with her all the time.

please pick up its shit. every single time.

I agree with the ^ and ^^

 

Apartment living is not a good environment for a dog. Get some fishies. that's what I had when I was living in my apartment in Victoria.

Dude even I"m gonna agree with everyone here, it's not the time man. I want a dog too but I know it's not the time for one, it's not fair to the dog.

[garsk]

why don't we just get a snake, i think it would be fun.

[decomposinglight]

I agree, don't get a dog. Just wait until you're in a better situation. Get something smaller, that normally lives in a cage/tank. Bird, chinchilla, ferret, hedgehog, fish, etc.

[RicardoObviouso]

if you're not going to buy a dog, don't buy anything.

[garsk]

we have a good size basement, we could farm chinchillas

[jtb]

Lets just invest in bugs and have bug fights in the basement.. I'll call Michale Vick, I'm sure he can hook us up with something.

[garsk]

with chinchillas we can farm them for their fur and then sell their "meat"

[Azalroth]

Tis true we could, need a whole helluva lot of Chinchillas tho....they're pretty cool, I had one as a pet.
