I think your dogs need a brother.

Puppehs. God love ’em. Sorry. California here. I have been scouting for another kitten though. My cat is lonely since the neighbors cat died.

Weight estimate please?

Oh my goodness, that Facebook page is adorable. Some of the other photos are so cute my teeth ache. Your sister is a good person.

Guessing a ridgeback mix?
Chris from Arlington, VA
Petfinder site says it’s a Pit Bull Terrier mix. Looks like it’ll make a great dog. I’ll pass the link on to my family in Mt. Lebanon, maybe they know someone who can take him.

Cole, a question. A couple of weeks ago I mailed you and Anne Laurie with a pet help plea and AL was so kind to post it here on Saturday the 12th. I’m out here in California visiting my friend and there are some major updates regarding Hypatia’s health, including that she has an appointment with a neurologist in Dublin tomorrow at 11.30.
If we write it all up and mail to you (and Anne Laurie) would it be possible to post it? We don’t want to intrude on this thread. Oh and say to your sister that Lil’Bear looks like a great dog.

Public school, or one of those Michelle Rhee-approved charter schools?

Just looked at the Facebook page. So sweet. Then I walked into the kitchen to check on something in the oven, and I caught myself singing a song from West Side Story in my head.
Could be, who knows? There’s something just out of reach, down the block, on a beach, under a tree.. Maybe tonight.
Apparently I have high hopes for Lil’ Bear!

so the dog is not a Republican

@trollhattan: I think we went over this before and determined that it is a Blackmouth Cur mix, like Ol’ Yeller.
Villago Delenda Est
Has been to school?
Damn dog probably “believes” in evolution or has figured out that “National Socia1ism” was branding to deceive the German workers.
Dog is unfit for any good Jeebofascist household.

Thank you for posting this-especially bc I know you didn’t want to bore folks with it. I just desperately want to give him some exposure because I don’t understand how he hasn’t been adopted yet. He has spent over half of his life in foster with me!

Age and weight statiatics would be helpful, along with medical history.
We’ve dropped from 3 to two dogs since this time last year, and one of the survivors is a 13 or 1 yo Big Brown Farm Dog.
Boomer is a great friend and a scary enemy, as if you were a sneak thief. But he’s white around his face, and deaf as a post. Anyhoo, email me and we’ll talk. I’m in southern WV, Lincoln county.

@Suffern ACE:
Okie-dokie, didn’t know he’s a repeat topic. I love big ol’ dawgs that just loll around the joint–my goal is to emulate them one day.
Devon
@J R: He was born 11/1/11, so 6+months going on 7. He is 40 lbs on the nose, all shots up to date, neutered, tested for heart worm, and finished puppy kindergarten. Housebroken and crate trained during the day, but he sleeps with me at night bc i am spineless when it comes to snuggling puppies and dogs. He is starting basic obedience 1 next week.
jenn
@J R: Yay! I hope it works out – he looks like such a sweetie!
Violet
Does Lil’ Bear know he’s been made famous on Balloon Juice?
Devon
@Violet: I am not sure if he will become famous…I don’t think he is controversial enough and this post will be buried as soon as everyone finishes their dinners. :) He is however settled in and curled up at my feet, as usual. Sweet little pit, hound, cur, ridgeback, whatevah he is.

@Devon:
I’d be interested in finding out a little more. We lost our Henry during the holidays and would like another. What kind/s of dog is he? We live in Beaver County and love us some big dogs. John has my email. Get in touch.
Devon
@geg6: I will email you! Thank you. :) I am sorry about your Henry, I know exactly how painful that is.

@Devon:
Excellent. Our Otis needs a new buddy.

Grew up in Pittsburgh but unfortunately don’t live there now. Oh well. In any event, overseas work travel makes having a dog really not feasible. He seems like a cutie.

Good luck with placement. A good looking dog.
I’m not having any luck placing Bud the cocker yet, and I’m starting to get desperate. My benefactor with the place to live has started to make noises about Bud and that’s not good. Anne was kind enough to post about this a while ago but so far no go.
