February 28, 200521 yr Well, we're adopting a pound puppy - my wife is at the shelter picking him up now. He's a chow/heeler mix (less chow). He's a pretty laid back little fellow... about 4 mo. old and very attentive. He responded very well to paying attention to me when we had him out of his cage at the pound. This ought to be interesting with the kitties in our house. I'll post some pics later tonight.
February 28, 200521 yr Nice... I have a dog of my own (Beagle) and never get bored of him. Dogs can be a great companion. Don’t forget to take pictures.
February 28, 200521 yr That's awesome! One of my friends just got a new puppy and he is a lot of fun. I wish my old and lazy dog was a pup again.

LOL My dog is the same. But I believe he's lazy because he's an adult (8yrs). I didn't have him when he was a pup, but I do remember that he was very playful. Now he won't go after a ball or anything... he can be rather boring.
February 28, 200521 yr Brian and I have been seriously considering getting a dog. We plan on going to the pound or an animal welfare society to pick one out.
February 28, 200521 yr Author Pound puppies generally make great dogs. I grew up with pound puppies (dogs) and they were GREAT, hence me going there this time for one.
February 28, 200521 yr Ginger's been a great "pound puppy". It's kind of tough not knowing what exactly she is (breed) but for the most part she's been awesome with no problems. Watch the kitties though. While we had no issues when we brought Ginger home, since Abby joined the family they've become a bit rebellious. A couple accidents on the kitchen floor mainly to let us know who's the bosses.

See my sig! It's the truth!
March 1, 200521 yr Congrats on the dog. I'm a huge dog fan aslong as it's not mine. In other words I wouldn't like owning a dog, but love them.
March 1, 200521 yr I got my dog at a christmas tree farm. She was in a box along with her brothers and sisters. The parents were farm dogs and good hunters, the same goes for my dog. She is very loyal and would never hurt a human, but damn, she is a good hunter.
March 1, 200521 yr My basset hound puppy (8 mos.) follows me around the house all the time and can't stand it when the wife I and leave. He's the greatest and cutest thing in the world. Congrats on the new addition.
March 1, 200521 yr cool. good to hear. have almost always had pound dogs all my life (1 that wasn't was purebred australian shepherd). watch out for the chow in out though. had to put down one of ours with chow in him about a yr ago due to temperment issues...

March 1, 200521 yr Thats awesome, we just got a dog a few days ago and he's also a Heeler mix. Here is a picture of him.
March 1, 200521 yr If we're posting pets, here's my German short-haired pointer completely hyped up after seeing a rabbit outside:
March 1, 200521 yr Author Actually when we got him and we took him to the vet, we actually think it's an Akita/Blue Heeler mix. He's a cute little bugger, and super smart. He learned "sit" in about 5 minutes.
