The Dog Lovers Thread

This thread makes me want a dog which I am shopping for one , I will be getting a shelter dog whenever that may be.
Ok, not to discourage you (well, yes, actually to discourage you ;)), but make sure you have money set aside for vet bills, dog food, flea treatments, etc. Dogs take a lot of time and money to house properly. Sometimes making friends with a neighbor or friend's dog is a better option...

I said the near future not now... I cannot even land a job .... i am fully disabled.
 
I'm sorry about your situation, peacefulveglady. But after having my sister and her dog living with me for 2 years before they finally moved out to California, I can vouch for what Ledboots wrote. I have so far adopted only cats, rabbits, one hamster, and several gerbils (I had to house the gerbils in two separate cages because they didn't get along as one group, even though they were related). My sister's dog needed more attention than at least any 3 cats or 2 rabbits, and I don't think I was ever ignoring any of my animals.

Yes i am not upset or anything however, I am also don't know which breed I would like and how i will go about doing that, I am also waiting to get a part time job, I want to save like 1,000 dollars first before adopting a dog , I want it be a special occasion , I am not up and going to get a dog just because I want one or a splurge , there are things a person should go through to get a dog to adopt . Also worse comes to worse if I do end up with a dog , there is a food pantry near us that gives a month supply of pet food for the people that needs them. You have too go through some paper work to qualify and its a different day then the regular food pantry also.

I don't think I have seen anything like that before. Beautiful dog, even if he looks a bit unusual.

I would definitely adopt an animal that had something different about them.
 
Am I seeing the picture correctly? He seems to have only one nostril per nose- not that it matters, since he's happy and in good health.

Yes, he is oblivious to the way he looks.

His natural beauty largely overweighs the 2 nd nostril. Moreover, he has the most gorgeous eyes.
