I was about to say he'll lick any kitty to death but that just opens me up for too many jokes.
Maxwell needs a silver hammer chew toy for his life to be complete, but otherwise he's happy. He's 8 weeks old and his hobbies include peeing, sleeping in my hamper, and chewing toes.

The puppy is a Bichon Frisé and they don't usually get taller than a foot or so - this guy's still got a long way to go, but will always be rather small and cute. My boyfriend's parents had a Bichon Frisé before and we really liked him, so we chose to go for the same breed.
He was totally shocked by what he read. I didn't think I'd have to explain the term fisting quite so soon.

Finefinemusic, can your little puppy become THE OFFICIAL ILX PUPPY?
― The Real Dirty Vicar, Sunday, 20 January 2008 18:58 (5 years ago) Permalink
You gonna keep giving him the puppy cut or the show-style bichon cut, when he needs grooming in the future?
― Abbott, Sunday, 20 January 2008 19:03 (5 years ago) Permalink
Neither my boyfriend nor I really are down with the typical Bichon cut, no - we'll probably keep a cut similar to what he's got now as he ages.
I asked him if he'd like to be the official ILX Puppy and he gave me a weird look and then tried to bite my arm, which I assume is a "yes" from him. He's in good company, his best dog friends (aka our friends' dogs) are named Arlo and Dylan.

Good timing for the revive. Mrs. Hurting and I think we want to adopt a dog from a shelter, preferably a puppy or young dog. She has dog experience, I have almost none. She's kind of partial to Jack Russells (we've seen a few available at shelters), but I'm concerned about the energy thing (they're especially spunky). I'd be fine with an ugly mutt - my only concern is that you don't always know how big a mutt will get.
Advice on how to proceed? What to look for? How to prepare? I think we've thought over the decision pretty well. We're not heavy travelers and her work schedule is going to be easy enough that she can do extra walks when I'm busy with school. We have a decent-sized apartment so smallish dog is probably better. I feel ready to deal with the commitment even if it means scaling back some social activities (we're home a lot anyway). Maybe there's a thread on this already but searching "dog" is not highly effective.

gr8080, what kind of dog is that?
― Melissa W, Sunday, 23 March 2008 21:43 (5 years ago) Permalink
hurting, do you own furniture, or nice things? if so, are they all kept in a remote storage facility, or in the apartment? if the answers are "yes" and "the apartment," I would advise against a jack russell.
you can get a decent gauge of a mutt puppy's eventual size by looking at their paws. a female will generally provide for less wear and tear around the house than a male. being a smartypants, I recommend desmond morris' "dogwatching" for a decent education on the bastards.

My pupster went through about 5 of my pillows and 3 of his dog beds, but he finally stopped evicerating the cushioning hereabouts around his first birthday. k9ballistics makes some pretty chew resistant dog beds, if that's what we're seeing (they discontinued a indoor/outdoor cot that I got).

Every time I see a picture like the one above with the pillows all gored, or see people asking for donations to cover their $10,000 dog surgery, it's like "I can't handle this shit!"
At the same time, it's not like I haven't just started a phd where I'll be on my own schedule and in the same place for the next 6-8 years. And it's not like I haven't just moved into an apartment with a backyard and an unused room connected to mine, and which is 2 minutes from a dog park.
The more serious I get, the more I get cold feet.

Originating on the continent of Africa,[13] basenji-like dogs have lived with humans for thousands of years. Dogs resembling modern Basenjis can be seen on stelae in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, sitting at the feet of their masters, looking just as they do today, with pricked ears and tightly curled tails. Dogs of this type were originally kept for hunting small game by coursing.

This is Kenny, a 15-year-old lurcher who is mostly whippet. He stays with me when one of my friends has a job out of town. His bark mutates into weird dog singing, particularly if there are other dogs on TV.

Seriously. When I inform people that Ken is 15, they look around anxiously like we're just sitting here, waiting for the dog ambulance because he shakes like most sighthounds do, takes a daily pill for dog arthritis - but is in really good shape. He could be nearer 16, because his age was estimated at 12-18 months when he was adopted as a rescue in late '98.
He is unusually amenable to being photographed, and has the most gorgeous, long paws:
