srsly, everytime mr. pike had on an nfl game, i would proclaim, "i wish puppy bowl were on!"
i love the dude "bruin" in the first pic. he looks like he wants lots of hugs.
― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I can't believe Pike watches NFL. The South/his dad is rubbing off on him.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:13 (sixteen years ago) link
He does. Lots. He love the Titans but often proclaims that they're a bunch of "bums."

WANT BIGGER PICTURES. I can't see a thing of the bull terrier mix....
I know!! It's pose looks so cute too - from what I can see of it!

Unacceptable. I could handle the footy, I even learned to like it. But if you're okay with American football, yr a better woman than me.

oops - its not "it's" xpost to self
Mind you, I knit a lot (i.e. all the time), so I'm usually on the couch anyway, so whatever is on, is on. He watches A LOT of hockey now which is b/c of me. I even ordered the fancy hockey package from cable so I can have my constant rustbelt connection.
― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:18 (sixteen years ago) link

two things i'm not looking forward to: kitty halftime (yawn) and the deluge of abused animal commercials apl runs during the whole program. i have to leave the room or else i get depressed and tearful.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:28 (sixteen years ago) link
this is biff (my large cat) watching the kitty halftime show:

IIRC, I ended up crying last year during the commercials, and I didn't even have PMS.
― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link
my bf found me sobbing in front of the tv once during the ugly dog show because one of the contestants had a heartwrenching backstory.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I can't watch "Animal Precinct" anymore. The show ends with me summoning my cats to the couch while I sob and proclaim, "I'll never turn you out!"
― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link
all of those animal police shows are bad news. and that new one about the "last chance" rehabilitation facility/shelter? i started tearing up during the credits (the credits!) and banned myself from watching it.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
whenever animal cops has some heartbreaking rescue that ends with "the animals were feral and had to be euthanised" i get really upset.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:39 (sixteen years ago) link
omg. I haven't seen that one yet, thank God. xpost.
― ENBB, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
in the only animal rescue show i watched, horatio (great dane found running wild) had to be euthanized at the end bcz he was too aggressive. the camera showed him going into the kill room! that was my first and last experience with that genre.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link
ok, i should stop being such a downer on the puppy bowl thread. yay puppies!
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I used to volunteer at a city animal shelter, and I magically didn't adopt any pets while I was there. I don't know how I did it. I have one really sad story, which I will refrain from telling. But, I will tell you that when these two older cats that came in together (older cats generally didn't get adopted) got adopted by this cute couple, all the cat volunteers cheered and teared up a bit. It was great!
― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
i really want to start fostering dogs (in preparation for actually getting one sommmmmmmetime soon)...does anyone have any recommendations about this?

i forced myself not to look.
― lauren, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
bell, i think it depends on the shelter. i know some places like to make sure your housing situation is up to snuff first (not saying that yours isn't, obv., but i've seen some whack regulations like "must own residence"). i think, though, it varies from place to place.
i completely, 100% recommend volunteering at a shelter. dog-walking and socializing was the best! i grew up with a schnauzer, and was used to smaller to medium breeds. it was a little bit of a leap, but i started walking the bigger dogs at the city shelter, and almost came home with a pitbull mix named walter. he was the coolest dog. he got adopted by a family w/ a yard, so it was all good.

is walking dogs the worst part of having dogs?
― Jordan, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:29 (sixteen years ago) link
as the person on morning (6am) and afternoon (3-4 pm) poop duty in chicago in the winter, i would say yes.
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link
but it's not so bad. i think rain is way worse than snow. picking up the poop is no big deal.
in fact, i'm about to walk these mutts right now.

I can't watch this anymore because I don't have cable and they don't actually do anything so it gets pretty boring. That said, is there a pug?
