We agree on this. It just seems, and maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion, that if someone makes the decision to buy a dog from an AKC breeder they automatically get shit from all the "you should have adopted" crowd. I just wonder why the same doesn't happen to people who make the decision to have children. If you want to adopt a dog, that's great. If you want to go to a registered breeder, that's great also. I just disagree with what I perceive as a stigma attached to people who decide to purchase puppies from breeders.

The fact that the first person to comment was a stinking Broncos fan didn't help.

I have a pure bred AKC aussie shepherd rescue. Over $1000 from a breeder. $60 from a rescue group. She just wasn't a puppy. The breeders got rid of her after she turned 3 because they were afraid the quality of her puppies would start to suffer. Fricking morons just in it for cash, not love.

I just don't understand some people.... :#

Einstein chases his tail about 80% of the time. It can also be other ticks, and weird little things the same way it is in humans.

Right now he quits on command, but as soon as I release him he's back at it.

The very fact that you are making the comparison makes me question your sanity. Yes, you are doing society a great service by adopting a foster kid and yes, most if not all these kids come from broken homes and have emotional/mental issues. That being said, wtf does that have to do with providing a home for an unwanted puppy?

Let me answer this for you--nada.

I doubt he would be saying anything if people weren't bashing him for wanting a specific puppy...

Thanks. Seems to still live a happy life.

I bought from a breeder because my family had known her dogs for years. Very smart and easy to train. This being my first puppy I was afraid I wouldn't be able to love a stupid one so I went for as good of odds as I could get.

Swear to God I would love a stupid kid tho.

Many, many years ago my wife went out and spent $300 on a ****ing Pomeranian, and it was a goddamn inbred asshole. Ended up giving it away after only a couple months. **** that dog, and **** Pomeranians.

They're all a little stupid when they're teenagers. I have two nieces staying with me and my wife until Monday and they are 15 and 16. I swear to god if they didn't have cell-phones they wouldn't know what to look at. The 16 year old has texted her boyfriend at least 500 times in the last 24 hours.

LMAO


Just wait until Obamacare is fully implemented...

It's frightening the access kids have to eachother and the entire collection of human knowledge. I fear I'm going to be grandma Miss K within the next 10 years. Without all the good squirrel recipes.

I fear that their verbal and written communication skills will continue to decline. I tried to have a conversation with the 16 year old about what her interests are and what she may want to study in college and it was like talking to an 8 year old. Lots of umms, you knows, and awkward silences while she stared at her phone. I'm quickly turning into the grumpy middle aged man I told myself I would never be.

Yep, I just offered to take them to the new Hunger Games movie and they both looked at me like my hair was on fire. They couldn't fathom not being able to have their phones on for an entire 2 hours. I'm seriously considering taking their phones away until Monday.

She has over twenty thousand texts a month.

Twenty
Thousand.
