Why do I suck at Pet ownership?

Archive: 7 posts


So I've been in the market for a dog a few weeks now and just today my friend's aunt surprised me with a puppy to cheer me up from recent depression. I fell in love with the puppy because of her unique aesthetics; Tall, skinny, orange fur, and fox ears. I have yet to see a dog like her so I can only assume she's mixed breed. Her name is Foxy. Anyway, my friend was driving me home from his house with Foxy in my lap. He lives in the country area of our county so it was a bit of a drive. Foxy was calm but looked a tad bit nervous (I'm guessing she's part Chihuahua). I didn't think anything of it, but that's when everything went to hell. Foxy threw up in the car and the force of turn launched it up into the windshield. Blinded by the vile vomit my friend sped off the road and into the woods. I recall tumbling forward before everything went black. I awoke hours later to find that we had landed inside a ditch in the woods, the red car angled diagonally partially sunken in the mud. The air was cold and there was a thick mist, the forest was darker than usual. With a few cuts on my hands and bruises on my body, I dragged myself out of the wreckage. My friend headed back toward the road to call for help but Foxy was missing. I decided to head deeper in and look for her. I wandered around for half and hour before seeing a pair of orange pointed ears head into a Fox hole. "Foxy" I called as I neared the tunnel. It was indeed my dog curled up inside of the pocket of dirt but something was off about her, eyes once timid and scared were now calm and focused as if staring into my soul, her narrow snout now filled baring sharp, snarling teeth. She stood and moved forward as her body started to twist and contort, muscle mass increasing tearing the skin and exposing bone. Soon a beast of a creature stood at eye level. I froze as I starred what was surely death in the face as the beast roared sending a jolt of primal fear through my spine. She leaned forward and licked the side of my face displaying a shift in emotion from a hunter of prey to a friendly puppy. I took my behemoth back and we got towed home. Unfortunately I had to clean a mess on the floor and she is now in punishment under a basket.2014-02-10 05:23:00

Did you get a new dog or are you just attempting creative writing. I am on the fence about moving the thread.

For the rest of you, if you cannot say anything on topic, then I suggest you not post.

I guess I can share my own experience in case this is a serious matter?

Okay, so I have two dogs myself. The other one is Pippuri (Finnish translation of the word 'pepper&apos and the other one is Lippo (not a translation of anything). The funny thing is that Pippuri is Lippo's son. Really, actually, biologically so. Anyway, as you probably guessed, we had Lippo before we got Pippuri. Lippo was about 1,5 years old when he did the do, so our family had had enough time to grow attached to one dog before we got another and in case of Lippo, it wasn't hard. He was (and still is) a genuinely sweet, gentle yet energetic and obviously dog-like dog, despite being schipperke by his race (a small, black dog with short or no tail). Loyal, not especially smart and so on and he certainly had personality. We felt like we succeeded at rising the dog.

Anyway, then comes in the second moving piece of the puzzle: Pippuri. He is the annoying young movie-character in dog form: he is fast, behaves badly and on impulse, doesn't particularly seem to respect anyone and is just uncontrollable (he even barks at other dogs and there is little we can do about it). Pippuri has been with us for almost six years now, so it's no longer just a phase. The scary thing is that I don't think there is a powerful enough bump to the head to this unintelligent little dog that can break his illusion of world ownership at this stage.

So why do you suck at pet ownership? I don't know, but I share your concern.

I'm playing around with the community by taking normal situations and blowing them way out of proportion. I take no interest in writing, it was just fun. I don't see any rules broken either seeing as the threads are not in rapid succession and spark silly little conversations in a sub forum seemingly desperate for life. It's just in fun.

I never said anything about rules being broken. It makes a bit of a difference as others get confused if you are serious or not as this is the general chat thread. If you are wanting to make up stories and such, then I suggest you use the Creative Writing forum.

So do you have a new dog or not?

Considering the nature of the threads, the answer is an obvious no.2014-02-10 22:35:00
