ADULT MEN AND SMALL DOGS

[FUZO]

TweetWhats with adult men having such small dogs. I grew up with brothers and my dad who had all big dogs. German shepards and rottweilers and labs. I have several friends who have these little piss ant dogs. I'm watching crimson tide and the captoan has this small dog which made me post this thread.So why do men get such small dogs. Ive had labs all my life and i'm so much more comfortable knowing that even a lab can do some harm to someone if they tried to attack me.But if ya got a little penis of a dog what can they do but bite your toes,lol

TweetMost of the guys I know that have small dogs is more for companionship than protection.

TweetI have 2 words to tell you on that subject, FUZO: TRUE LIES

If you can remember, in that movie Arnold was walking.....what?.....A small puny dog. LOL That was so damn funny to see!

But I'm the same, bro. I grew up with BIG dogs: German Sheppard (my fave), dobermans, chows, and collies. But I must admit, after constantly seeing Animal Planet channel, I've been pretty partial to buck eye pugs.

TweetGrowing up with a few German Shepherds, Doberman, German Shorthaired Pointers, none of them were for protection. I don't see a dog as that great of protection. A decent alarm, while their hearing is tops, but we always had other things that bark if we ever needed that kind of protection. They just bark louder and spit fire.

The terrier I have now is the 1st small dog I've ever owned. He's 11yrs old now, and he's been a great little dude. Hell of a good dog. He's a good little man. I can't say enough about him. There is a big difference in personality from a little ankle-biter to the larger breeds, for sure. I don't know if I'll ever own another small dog, or if I'll always have a small dog. That's how it is with me. I'll always have 2 dogs because I think they need a companion of their own type, so it's up in the air with the little ones. They're more difficult to house train. I caught Crash, my large dog, just before he shat on the floor when we brought him home, and he went right outside. He has never once messed or pissed in the house. My last mid-sized dog. She was 60lbs. She only went in the house twice, and was house broken. It took me 5 months with my terrier, and I read that's normal for a male his breed. The bad thing is that he knew he was doing wrong pretty fast, but he did it anyway.
As far as a small breed. Simply for a good little pet. I gotta say, as several of my friends have. If my terrier weighed 100lbs, he would be a killer.lol.. It's a good thing Pit Bulldogs don't have small dog mentality. They would then actually be like people try to portray them.

TweetE has a Chihuahua. When he was married, his daughter and ex-wife brought her home one day. She is tiny... barely weighs 6 lbs. She pretty old now and reminds me of a little old dainty lady. She'll be all curled up either in her basket or on the sofa and if she hears something, she'll start barking and growling but never lifts her head. Then she does the growl that sounds like an old lady grumbling under her breath. She also like to have the last word. If E tells her to be quiet, she'll bark again, and he'll repeat it, she'll bark again really low.

Then when you bring out any food, she is killer! If she thinks she hears something, she'll get all rallied up. Nothing is going get between her and the food! She'll ever start barking at our Rotty if she thinks he's going to get her food. Then if you open the door and she sees him, she gets really quiet. They must have a mutual understand because he doesn't seem to bother her. He's just so be and goofy that he almost step all over her.

TweetOk my second wife brought home a little brown Chihuahua against my expressed desires.
The little dog immediately jumped up in my lap and won me over. Mainly it was the fact it pissed her off. In the divorce a few years later she just left Cocoa with me, not ever saying a word. So you could say I won her in the divorce wars fair and square.

In the last 10 years that little dog has got me more introductions to women than I can count...it takes a man who is totally secure in his manhood to be an over 200 pound bodybuilder and to walk a six pound dog on a tiny little leash. Cocoa has seen me go through new girlfriends comin over and bad break ups and old girlfriends coming back for a visit. She has been my most dependable girlfriend and I never doubt that she loves me. I cant say that about any of the women that passed through my door during that time, except Dixie of course.

So maybe what I'm sayin is that if you have a friend who really sticks by you and has for over ten years...it doesn't matter what they look like...it only matters that they are your friend.

Even when she need to empty that thimble size bladder at 4:00 am

TweetIt was the way he treated Cocoa that sealed the deal for me. He was good too her. She knows that she's the princess of the house. She will jump up and sit in you lap with her back to you and turn her head to look up at you... then she bats her eyes and I swear she looks like she is smiling. Little flirt!
