I think I need to clarify what I meant about dog....

These are NOT dogs:



If it ain't at least 65lbs, it's a rat.
- Tomahawk

One of my dogs is 15 lbs and the other is even smaller. We kind of stole the smaller one from my future mother in law. The dogs are best friends and have always been meant to be together.

I never thought I'd love a small dog, but once you get one, you will love it no matter what.

Great analysis! Honestly, as a leafs fan this kinda make me depressed. We are much deeper, younger, stronger and quicker than the Rangers. We could have easily gotten past the Habs and the cup would've been a real posibility vs LA. Next year I think the cup will be ours! Report this comment!
- Pixote Andolini

Well it makes sense. The Leafs have been cheated out of every cup since 1967. In reality, they have had the best team every season, they just get screwed.

I'm sure he's a perfectly adorable rodent.

If you can't love a pet on its own terms, you sir are a heartless tyrant.

That's....kind of a horrible thing to say.

Kinda like a child. Once it hits 15, you are forced to love it no matter what.

My Wife and I have one beautiful mix that we adopted from a kill shelter. I want to adopt another, but my Wife thinks I am crazy. I told her it would be perfect timing. New baby in December, new pup in December. They would be best buds.

I think you underestimate the amount of work and sleep deprivation involved in having a child. No woman should be expected to care for a newborn and ANY other creature. And probably could use someone to take care of her.

That might be insulting to a dog who will probably run a lot harder a lot more consistently than his namesake.

The bigger problem is that we (as in the USA) have not produced true stars. Dont feed me the Landon Donavon line.

A couple of decent premiership keepers--Tim Howard and Brad Friedel. In all of recorded history.

I do call my dogs little rats as they scurry through the house. You'd be amazed at how much you can learn to love a small dog even if you were so against having one.

Not sure I could have a 15lb dog around the house... I'd be scared I'd accidentally Chris Moltisanti it.

They're pretty nimble.

They're small, but they aren't the size of a mouse. I step on their paws and tails from time to time, but they've never been close to being injured. They just give a yelp and carry on.

Well I'm sure your loud, slobbery, leg-humping, drooling animal is the best.

I certainly will be getting a dog. Preferably 2 (maybe not at once but at some point...whatever happens)

Pup #1 will be named Vera. Vera is both a Pink Floyd song and a name featured in the Beatles' When I'm 64. Paul sings "Grandchildren on your knee...Vera, Chuck & Dave". So boom. One name, to honor 2 of my favorite bands.

Pup #2 will be a boy dog named Lola

The better half has already ok'd both!

Love it!!

That's very specific! I have about 10 names floating in my brain and when I meet the dog one or two usually float to the surface. It has to pass a couple of tests:
1. Can I make a smart butt comment about the name and if so am I ok with hearing it? My friends are all a-holes.
2. Can I scream it down the street at the top of my lungs?
3. Does it fit the personality of the dog?

I don't make a final decision for a few days until I've gotten to know them a bit personality wise. Sometimes it's obvious - other times it's tough!
I've had a Malkuth, Aleister, Raelen, Corbyn, and Badger.

Our dogs mostly come with names which I then have to alter just enough for the dog and the family to be comfortable with. So Oscar becomes Oz like that.

Dogs don't have personalities. They also don't have credit cards, souls, or opposable thumbs. They lack the creative genius to design great works of art and cannot be told to poop in a designated poop container. The movie "All Dogs go to Heaven" was originally entitled, "Mike Vick for President" but was changed at the last minute by the head of United Artists. I guess my main point is that Vinny Lecavalier cannot play left wing.

As long as we're talking about dogs... Vinny can play dead most convincingly

Wait until the kid is a little older so they can handle when the dog passes.

Aw, it must have tried to crawl underneath for warmth.

Oh, and for what it's worth, if there is a "Top 10 list of actors who are not in the same league as their onscreen wives and GFs", Michael Imperioli has to be on the list, somewhere after Kevin James.

I don't know who that is, but his name makes it sound like he smells really bad.
