My dogs are better than ALL of yours!!

[Shell Beau]

:P



No, but seriously they are!!













:P

1. You Won't Get Any Argument From Me!

my 9.5 month old Sheltie is only beginning to be a dog that can be lived with without wanting to choke her!

If she weren't so cute, she'd be toast!


(just kidding)

Seriously though, you won't get an argument from me right now!

[Shell Beau]

2. No, I do understand! All three of mine were puppies once!

One of mine ate my couch. And when I say couch, I mean the WHOLE couch!!! Fabric, cushion, wood, springs and ALL!! No joke!

[SPKrazy]

3. I Believe It!

So far mine is just a mess, she digs in the trash and gets out paper towels, etc. shreds them all over the floor, she chews up just about anything, although she is better.

Cheweys help to stop that as she's just teething, but


A WHOLE COUCH????

wow

[Shell Beau]

4. Yeah, my husband and I are getting each other a new one

for Christmas! We adopted a pup last year and he tore up things that my other ones never even thought of! Or any other dog I have ever had for that matter. And I have had lots of dogs. But puppies will be puppies!

[SPKrazy]

5. And Furniture Eaters Will Be Furniture Eaters

that ain't no puppy eating that couch!

That's some kind of eating machine

[Shell Beau]

7. He was a rescue pup!! We had no idea he would

turn out to be 100 lbs. You just never know what you are getting with a mutt really!

But he is my sweet mutt!!!! Love him soooo much!

[SPKrazy]

9. He's Lucky He Was Cute!

cute is what saves puppies

[mzteris]

31. Funny - that's what I tell my kids!

"You better be glad you're CUTE!"

:rofl:

[hedgehog]

38. It happens

One of our dogs ate the back of the couch and the other attacks the slip covers from time to time when he thinks we aren't looking.

[InvisibleTouch]

8. Puppies will be puppies...

Mine eviscerated the couch, pulled up carpet and most of the linoleum in the kitchen, ate holes in the walls, chewed up floorboards and doorframes, destroyed my oven and my porch swing, mangled my cell phone, paperwork, books, wicker baskets, towels, sponges, curtains, windowshades, spider plants, and lots and lots of pens (what is it about pens that they find so irresistible?) ... and that's just what I can think of, off the top of my head.

I guess I can be happy that it only lasts for the first two years - at which point a new set of puppies always seems to arrive.

[Shell Beau]

10. Ok, sounds like my pup has been spending some

time at your house!!

My dog likes cigarettes, seriously. So, I smoke. Try to keep the dogs away from it. My dog digs in the ashtray if there is a butt left and chews on it. Digs in my purse, grabs the pack of smokes and eats them!!! Even my vet was surprised by that one!!!

[EFerrari]

12. :The WHOLE COUCH?

Holy Cr@P! Is there insurance you can get for that?

Because Piranha Baby here is apparently just warming up! I mean, we have a CAT COUNT every 15 minutes and she's only 12 weeks old. :scared:



Oh, yeah. She's cute. She's Fatal Attraction cute.

[Shell Beau]

19. Oh yeah!! Couches are apparently yummy!!

The vets gave me "Yuk" when he got neutered!! Yuk was apparently yummy!! Watch out!! But they are their cutest and funniest at that age, so appreciate it too!

[gr8dane_daddy]

29. Only ONE couch????

My baby's been through at least 3...we're on our fourth. Luckily she's past her chewing phase. That's a good reason we only got couches from garage sales and college friends.

[EFerrari]

33. No kidding. Mine is a second hand store special that cost

all of $75. I nearly replaced it before Kid came home. But, no way now. This couch and these rugs are STAYING until she's finished with them. So the place looks like a bomb shelter. At least I'm not making payments on it.

lol

[texanwitch]

6. My puppy only chewed up a water hose.

She touched anything in the house,

[EFerrari]

11. HA! Amateur! Only today, while I was napping off the dinner

I cooked yesterday, Kid chewed through the DSL cord, which involved moving major furniture. She got a cat to punt my Blackberry to her from the table so she could eat the earpiece AND she found the charger for a backup cell which she "disabled" after a long torture session, judging from all the bite marks in the pieces I could find.

I feel like the babysitter in a horror movie who keeps trying to call out but IT got there first.



"She's heeeeeeeeeeere!"
:rofl:

[texanwitch]

13. She so cute.

The look on her face.

She will out of this in a few years.

My kitten is the terror, she will not let me have a tree with lights or decoration.

She likes to tear up the napkins on the table, and any paper she can get her paws on.

[EFerrari]

15. The kitten will settle down by 6 months. Miss Thing will take a year

at LEAST to eat only traditional comestibles like food and comfortable shoes.

Which proves that cats are the superior species. :P

[texanwitch]

18. I hope you are right.

That damn cat tore up my Sears credit card bill, try to explain that to the clerk at Sears.

[EFerrari]

21. Oh, no! Well, I have seven expert witnesses here that swear to you

that if you file your bills, your file cabinet will be mostly safe.

:)

[Blue Diadem]

34. Oh what a sweet face!

Mine(also a yellow lab) surprises me yet..and he's a little over 2 now. Last week, we put him in the car while we gathered things to come home from his playmates house..and he ate my daughter's passenger seat! I still haven't found a replacement..looks like we'll be going to an upholstery shop to get it fixed.

[EFerrari]

36. Truthfully, I still haven't forgiven Buddy for peeing all over

The Masques of Ben Jonson and she's been gone for three months now and it happened 13 years ago. :rofl:

Lucky they're cute, isn't it? :)

[Blue Diadem]

37. They sure are lucky they're cute!

Ours is also named Buddy. My daughter calls him Buddy Bad Boy.

It's still funny to watch him swipe my granddaughter's Barbies..hold them in his teeth by their hair while trotting around the dining room table with her chasing him. Then he stops, drops it, sits and gives her that big puppy dog sad eyed look.

Life certainly isn't boring with dogs in the house!

[zanne]

35. You just gotta forgive that face. nt

[chknltl]

14. Yeah, well my dog is the best dog....

...in my whooooooole house. She knows it because I tell her so everyday. (It matters not that she is the only dog in the house, she's happy being the best one!) :;):

I also highly recommend this show/book/dvd and etc to any who own dogs:

16. But look....

Now, my real number one baby is missing from the pic, but she sleeps in the bed in between my husband and me!!

[chknltl]

20. Shell Beau

Those 2 are devastatingly cute.
That said I recall an episode of Cesar Milan's Dog Whisperer where he was called in to fix that exact sleeping on the bed with humans thing. You see the owners felt that having their sex life back might be a good thing, the dog on the other hand could care less what the humans wanted. Cesar trained the humans to understand that a good pack leader, (dog owner), needs to not be controlled by the pack, (dog or dogs). Here is that link to Cesar Milan again:

http://www9.nationalgeographic.com/channel/dogwhisperer/index.html
I highly recommend it.

22. I am a huge fan of Cesar!! But, at least for now, we don't

mind the small dog sleeping in the bed with us! I have had her for 8 years and she has always slept with me since I got her! The other dogs do not prefer to sleep in the bed!! As weak as we are when it comes to them, we give them that option! We took our tempur-pedic matress pad and made it into dog beds and they LOVE them! When we have our children, though, we will have to do something about our baby girl sleepin in our bed!

[chknltl]

23. Cesar rocks!!!

Glad to learn of another fan of the the Dog Whisperer. Everyone whom I have turned on to that show has joined the ranks. Cesar is one of my living heroes, of which there are very few: Jon Conyers, Jim McDermott, Cesar Millan and Raymond Syckes, (Ray is a local legend, a Republican Precinct Commander of all things but still one of my living hero's in spite of his no-count affiliations).

[mzteris]

32. My son's back-up plan

is to be the next Cesar Milan....

That is, if he isn't the next Houdini/Criss Angel/David Copperfield/David Blaine . . .

[driver8]

25. That is a great picture!! They look sacked out!

Speaking of dogs...I haven't seen my dog in awhile.

Hmmm...I'll be right back.

[EFerrari]

17. That's what I used to tell Buddy.

"You are the best, most beautiful girl on this leash."

And she forgave me.

lol

[driver8]

26. Hey -- my dog's name is Buddy. Here he is with my munchkins.

Daniel, Leah and Buddy.




Our sweet Border Collie, Cody. Sadly, he is no longer with us.

[EFerrari]

27. Beautiful guys. They both look like they'd like the kiddos.

My mom had my Budster cremated and brought her ashes home in an urn for me. I couldn't decide if it was macabre or great. Now I'm thinking, great, because she's not gone.

[DainBramaged]

24. My ex's Bullie takes the cake

[EFerrari]

28. Hey, that white throw looks very comfy. lol

I have to get one of those. :)

Is the Lounge full of dog people?

[NC_Nurse]

30. No way.

Mine are cuter. Good thing too 'cause one of them peed on the GOOSE DOWN couch yesterday afternoon!
Good thing we got it used or I'd be on the warpath! As soon as I get some new pics I'll prove their irrefutable
cuteness! }(
