Steff Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 If it wasn't for the 80+ lbs.. we definitely would have gotten one no question. Now.. I have to name this little s***. It's mostly white with black on the head and tail. Any suggestions?? It's a girl and the most she'll weigh is 16-18 lbs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could always name it MVP after Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 No offense but I wouldn’t spend over $100 on a dog. That’s just me though. I have a Beagle, which I adopted last year for only $50, and she’s no problem. A small dog who doesn’t shed a lot of hair and is easy to take care of.

I have a Beagle, which I adopted last year for only $50, and she’s no problem. A small dog who doesn’t shed a lot of hair and is easy to take care of. Normally I wouldn't, and never have. All my childhood we saved dogs never paying more than $50 for them. Ginger was saved and while she's a great dog.. not knowing exactly what her blood line is has been a challenge. This time we wanted a dog whos history we knew and temperment we could count on. In the end since we took both of them we only ended up paying $150 each for them (on most websites I saw they were going for $250 to $400 each). That's a dog with current shots and registered. After adopting it's that much anyway once you pay for all the vaccinations. I'm confortable with the decision to spend the $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 We talked about getting a dog now that the house is done. Will we? Who knows. All I know is that he wants a lab and after taking one in that was a stray (FSIL's boyfriend took her home to his kids), I am fine with that. She was so cool, smart and friendly. She adored Brian and it was tough for him to give her up, but he wasn't home enough to take care of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though I said that I myself would not pay over $100 for a dog, you’re still not going to save any money. For the reason that you have to take care of an animal like if it were your own child. You need to buy food, take care of it, take it to the vet at least twice a year and so on. All of these actions will eventually equal more than 100 bucks. But that’s all right with me. I enjoy having a pet dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not real sure what you're trying to say.. and it sounds like you're attempting to slam us for spending our money on our pet....

QP.. we saw 2 beautiful Lab pups (4 months and 6 months) at the CR Animal Welfare yesterday.. absolutely beautiful!! They said they always have Labs there so maybe when you guys decide to get one you can check there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that I wouldn’t spend over $100 on a dog but even though if I get a dog for less than that I’m eventually going to spend more than 100 bucks on the dog itself in a course of a year. And I believe that every dog owner goes through that and knows that. I just meant to say it. Hopefully you can understand my post a little bit better.

My dog when she was a puppy would bite stuff non stop. That was the first week we got her. Then she settled down. She only goes pee 3 times a day. Not like I count or so...
