You can get breeds that don't shed if you guys are interested in getting a dog. They're not exactly uncommon [at least here in the States], because dog/ cat allergies are so damningly common that breeders have jumped on the bandwagon and are churning them out.

As far as young Einstein, good luck. They're cute dogs, but Corgis can be an absolute handful without lots of time, attention, and space. Cute dogs, just kind of nuts.
off topic? OMG YOU'VE BEEN CENSORED... yet you're still posting. MYSTARY!!!!

It's got a French Bulldog to play with. Also, it's been learning at an incredible rate ("no", bathroom areas, and crate sleeping all by day 2). This dog seems as smart as my chihuahua/toy poodle mix I had growing up, and he learned virtually every command by the second or third use of it.

Weird coincidences man, I saw that last week and just a couple of days ago I was listening to one of Cowboy Bebop's songs (that a fucking soundtrack or what?).

At this point, I think it'd be interesting to see Kashluk's reaction to that video. I'm guessing something like this -> :rolleyes:

:D

Non-human companions are entertaining and unconditionally loving. Also gets you used to the responsibilities of supporting a dependent.
Still don't see the point. But that's just my opinion.
Makes sense.

For farm folks, animals are tools.

High maintenance tools.

Considered letting them run au naturel, alas, was not to be.

Several custom built terrariums housing various species of spider. A garden dwelling tribe of mantids. They are fascinating. :drunk:

Got to watch my dog for a week.

When I started work, he got that nervous breakdown corgis apparently are commonly subject to, and fucked up the cage he was staying in. The next night, he managed to escape through a fairly small hole he made through the chickenwire ceiling of the same cage. Pissed and shit all over my room, but he was just SO happy to see me. Even though I sent him back down to Phoenix with Julie, I miss the little fucker. Gonna be interesting when he moves in with me in whatever new housing situation I get in the fall.

Hey thanks. She is mixed-breed, mamma was an andalusian dog, pappa was a bohemian rhapsody. She is genetically superior if a bit slow on the uptake. I've had her on the 'roids for the past month to bulk her the fuck up, you can really see the results in that picture. Look at those massive fucking delts, a one-man wrecking crew she is. Julie will take her back to Phnom Penh next weekend, to be honest I'm a bit relieved since she's developed something of a temper

Thanks mang. They're neat hacks, but not useful to major developers. Most everything I learned over the years in the school called "DAC". :che: except it isn't a school really but an internet forum. This internet forum to be exact. I learned from the best: Cakester, PsychoSniper, WereWolfReaper - the holy Trinity of Matrix Reloaded. Standing on the shoulders of a gentle giant and all that. Everything else was trial and error and maybe some internet tutorials
