Guest Anonymous Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 How about Drat? :D That is my fave word to say :lol: And a friend of mine's boyfriend's DJ name is Dr. Drat :lol: :lol: Ones mentioned that i like: Dyonisius, Dillenger, Dante.. that is if we're pronouncing it like Court said :lol: Otherwise he really doesn't look like a "dantie" :lol: :wink: Quote
Queen Bitch Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 My old roommate, er downstairs neighbor*, went by the name of Drat. He was an amusing guy. I think that would be a perfect name for a pup. * We lived in a split level duplex, Drat and Jesse lived downstairs and my actual roommate Abe and I lived upstairs. I would come home from the rock club/bar between 2-4 in the morning ( from work thank you very much, not just partying) and one of the boys would pop their head out the door as I was walking up the oh-so-noisy metal stairs to ask what I was doing. When I'd say going home, they would tell me no, I was coming over. Many times I would end up sleeping there because I was too tired to go home. :lol: ( and no, there was no funny business going on.) It got to the point where half my stuff was downstairs at their place and half was upstairs. I even had pjs there and food in their fridge. My official roommate wasn't home very much and was obviously surprised the first time I came home in my pjs and carrying my clothes from work. It was an unusal set up for sure, but it was pretty fun.

Queen Bitch Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Ok this has been nagging at me a bit. I have read this thread and the other one at the pittie board and RnP, I'm actually a little bit worried about you man. Drey hasn't yet reached full adulthood and Deja is still a pup ( albeit a big one.). Don't you think it may be better to let them grow up a bit and see how they get on as adults before adding yet another dog? Take the time to enjoy Deja and Drey while they are still pups before adding another pup to divide your attention between four dogs and your daughter. I know that you are aware that a dog's temperment can change by extreme measures from puppyhood to adulthood, what happens if you have four dogs that can't be around each other at all? Is your house big enough to safely seperate everyone without driving you crazy, while still giving them all the attention they deserve? It just seems like you have a bad case of puppy fever and are getting dogs at lightening speed. This pup does seem to be from what you described, an impulse buy and I really think you should reconsider it. You said that you can't control your heart and I completely agree, but you can control your actions. I met a Catahoula pup that I fell totally and competely in love with. I thought about him constantly, even had a name picked out ( Dexter to be precise.) He and I connected like I had never connected with a dog before and even the people who were selling him said they had never seen him react to anybody the way he reacted to me and were frankly amazed that this out of control wild pup would calm instantly with me. I even watched other people interact with him to see if they were feeding me a line of bull doody. They weren't. He would be going nuts grabbing pants legs, you know, being a normal bratty puppy. All it would take to calm him down would be my hand on him. I asked other people to do the same things that I did and they didn't work. He was like that with me from the first second I met him. I didn't get him because I wan't in the right "place" to give him the home he deserved. This blue pup is totally adorable, but there will always be another totally adorable squishy faced darling down the road. I'm not trying to get on your case man, I like you and all, but I just honestly don't think it's a good idea right now. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 well thanks for the concern Hillside... i really do appreciate it. however i am equipped both financially, and mentally to handle another dog. the set up is perfect in this house. we have two large kennels with dog houses in the back (soon to be three) as well as two crate inside(also soon to be three) . Also we never park in the garage so it has been transformed into a great puppy pen (from when we got deja) a 10' by 8' puppy proof play area. during the day when i am gone he will be there with his crate and food/water. when i get home he will be inside with all of us and (hopefully) sleep in his crate We have friends that come over with their dogs and ther has never been a problem. however as a pit bull owner i know the risks and have prepared for the worst case. If the dogs need to be seperated at all times the means are here. as of right now they spend pretty much all of their out time together. I will start this one out the same way. Take a week off of work to get a chunk of training done, set a good foundation for a potty pattern. as well as (my favorite) OB training. puppies are so much fun to teach. I guess what i am lookng forward to most is meeting another personality... finding out the things he likes/dislikes, what is he like. you know how all of your dogs are different, i love that. EDIT: Forgot to mention we did talk about the ramifications of bringing another dog home, prior to actually talking to the breeder. We know we want another dog, but the only comproamise we are making is when. we decided that now was a good time, for two reasons... we will b buying another house here soon and we want all training complete before we do that. as we want the dogs to grow with our daughter.
