I flew to Vegas in April, rented a motorhome and drove around UT,CO, and then headed back to the Berkshires...but not before grabbing this big mutt at the Durango Humane Society....
He is the BEST DOG EVER!!!!but I am biased.
He was 4 months old and 35 lbs in the pic...now he is 7 months and 70 lbs...a running, swimming fool! Barks like a big 'ol hound dog.
Go with a pound puppy, they'll be grateful for life.

Don't be so sensitive, you're in The Lounge.

Didn't think I was being sensitive, actually I thought I was pretty much owning you while you were sounding jealous?

i heard about labradoodles today, a cross of a poodle and labrador

I know a few people with those dogs. They are great and hypoallergenic since Poodles have hair not fur. A place down here is actually starting to breed them regularly and charging quite a bit.


Go to the Humane Society and get that doggy. If you liked it on line once it jumps in your lap you know you are taking it home with you.

Sure that is my buddy Jason trying to be funny as we are all drunk, having a good time and perfectly secure in our manliness. The blonde in the picture is his hot wife.

Look at all that hideous orange and blue those people are wearing. What are you, Illiniois, Syracuse or Clemson fans?

Dogs are good companions, I highly recomend using an adoption or rescue agency, I have recently rescued to dogs one a lab/coon hound mix and the other a pharoh hound both are great dogs, that needed the love of a good home.

They call it "being funny" down there huh?
I said he was trying, you can decide if its funny or not.

Hopefully that sight does not bring back horrors of you being
by one of your buddies or something.

If it does, I apologize.

That has to be a funny dog. If you throw something does he retrieve it or just bark(howl) at it or both?

Thanks Slugman, obviously wherever DNA went to school, being able to read wasn't a prerequisite. :eviltongu

No, that is the prerequisite for attending UF...all you have to do is be able to drink and you'll have your diploma. ;)

Couldn't resist...Gator fans are usually the most obnoxious group around. Something I could never understand because until Spurrier arrived Florida teams were always mediocre.


I love how this thread went from being about Biggins getting a dog to Mtb Rob's girlfriend.

That's becasue people are scared of Biggins being responsible for another life... so lets talk about something else.

:evil:

Ya for being a top 50 public university, and a top 100 university they are pretty slack. I couldnt even get into the school anymore, and I graduated HS with a 3.6 and a 1350 on my SAT.

I couldnt afford my own house anymore, but that is irrelevant

Ya all those SEC championships were boring, good thing he won the National Championship in 96

But you are right we are obnoxious wether we are winning or sucking (like last year). At least we still have a good time :thumb:

Well, that is true of all the state university nowadays. All the schools are so overcrowded...too much demand and not enough space. It was much easier to get into the state schools in the 80's ('87 to be exact). I waited a month after I graduated from H.S. to apply and got accepted to UF, FSU, and UCF. Being a poor sap I ended up staying close to home...

again, you are probably too young to remember all the crappy seasons UF had before Spurrier got there. Lets just say that if you thought last year was a bad season you probably would've jumped off a roof if you were around before Spurrier arrived. Going 7-4 was considered a great season, I still remember the year they went 0-10...

I'm just messing with ya anyways...my jab was at the way the fans acted before the school started winning. An old sports writer had a great quote about the Gator fans: "they act like they are alabama but have a Vanderbilt tradition."

make sure you really want responsibility and all that great stuff before you get a dog. they take up a lot of time and energy (good time and energy) especially if you get a puppy. i love my puppy more than anything, but i find myself having to take her into consideration before i do anything else. of course i consider myself a bad mom if we don't run daily, take time out for training, and play catch and chase, so she takes up a lot of my time.

dogs r great, but i think u should already know patience and responsibility BEFORE getting a dog. Or else your gonna be another crappy dog owner with a badly behaved dog.
