Is that a Chihuahua or a cross?

I've been a Boxer man all my life, best dogs ever, and as such have always had a dislike for small yappy dogs, but my gf's sister's Chion (Chihuahua + Papillon) changed that view, she is the most intelligent, funny and human-natured dog I have ever met :D

He's a long haired Chihuahua. I've always liked big dogs, my parents have a GSD who I love but my wife already had a Parson's Terrier and always wanted a Chihuahua so we bought Eddie to give the Terrier company.

Still a better breed ;)

Irish Wolfhound if you're man enough :D

My friends uncle had 2 Irish wolfhounds. They are *huge* dogs. Very smart too.
We were camping in Fermanagh, with the nearest house being about 7 miles away, as we were helping him to fix up an old cottage he'd bought.

Basically in the middle of nowhere. The nearest shop was about 30 miles away. So anyway, we were sitting down to a few beers around 10pm, and it was pitch black- nothing but the fire giving off light.
One of his wolfhounds, lay at his heels in front of the fire, and the other was nowhere in site. After about 45mins I heard a very faint rustling behind me and his other hound was literally about a foot away. The one at the fire got up and left and this one sat down.
They did that all night, one went patrolling around the edge of our campsite, whilst the other guarded his heels, and switch roles every so often.
Anytime something rustled in the bushes/trees- they were both upright and alert in seconds..
You can see why they used to be brought into battle :p

reasons not to own a dog:

only people who are socially awkward buy pets (jokes made about cat ladies, etc), basically people with either no real friends, or a very small number of friends. just look at any dog/cat owner, and see how much time they spend socialising outside of their work, with friends/family.

they smell.

they are unhygienic.

they will put down the value your house.

they make your home smell.

they cover your home in dog hair and it gets everywhere, clothes, sofa's, kitchen, etc its just disgusting.

you have to pick up their ****.

you have to wash them for their whole live's.

they cost money to look after (vet bills, food, getting nails clipped, etc) and will never ever be able to pay towards their own bills ever.


seriously what are the advantages of having a dog?

reasons not to own a car:

they smell.

they will put down the value themselves. quickly

they cover your drive in oil, its just disgusting.

you have to wash them for their whole live's.

they cost money to look after (MOT, fuel, getting serviced, road tax, etc) and will never ever be able to pay towards their own bills ever.

Scottish Terriers are by far the best small dog, if you want a reasonably low hassle dog that a man doesn't feel like an idiot walking, they are win....they are basically a smallish chunk of pure muscle :D Very strong for their size, nearly been pulled over a few times on uneven ground by her and i'm 6'4 250lbs :D Also has quite a deep growl/bark, sounds like a much bigger dog.

This is Megan:

this just reinforces the whole people who have dogs dont have real friends.

seriously you would rather talk to a dog than a real person?

when you need advice on buying a car do you talk to your dog then too?

when you want to cry you snuggle up with a dog? LMAO you do know there's women out there?

i stopped watching after 10 seconds i couldn't help but laugh, thanks for showing me how ridiculously lonely some people are
