11 years or so ago, when my number 1 dog was about 10 or 11 weeks old, she wouldn't stop eating the dirt in the back yard where I was living at the time.  she just kept at this one spot, I couldn't get her to stop.  She was my first dog and I had no real idea how to train a dog.  I ran her off from that spot so often that it became a problem.  I was terrifying the puppy and infuriating myself.

After a week or so of this, I found out that the woman I was living with (but not farging, she was just a roomate), would dump the bacon grease out the kitchen window.  Well no farging shtein the dog won't stop licking at the ground there. 

It was a small revelation that taught me something about dealing with frustrating dog behavior.  I was doing the wrong thing by scolding and chasing her off, it wasn't helping either of us.  It's not a dog's nature to make you unhappy, they want to please you.  So whenever some kind of behavior like that happens now, I try to dream up what else could possibly be going on.  Obviously, there's something I'm not getting, and invariably when I step back and think on it, I find a better solution than waging a constant battle with the dog to get it to stop the behavior.

That's very touching, Dio.

Also, there is less than 0 chance I would shell out 2 grand for my dog. And I love that farging hyperactive bitch.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

They love grease, and i cant say i blame them.  He's finally doing better though, stopped shteinting sand yesterday around 11am.  He's slept nonstop since coming home but he's finally moving around like his old self.

if he was older we definitely wouldnt have done it, but he's 3 and my wife loves him more than she loves me.  We had a limit, and didnt want to put him thru full surgery if that was the case.  Besides, look at how good looking he is.  this pic is after he ate sand for the 3rd time, but pre puking. 



Sunday on the beach before we had to rush home. He was acting strange.
and when we got him home after a day in the hospital

its way too hard to look at that face and say youre not worth 2 grand, and if you have kids it becomes even harder

but lets forget about the dog for a sec..props for remembering to bring toilet paper to the beach

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

ha, its my grandfathers.  Its 20 years old, and i guess back then it wasnt gay.  My dad loves that chair since they really dont make high sitting chairs anymore.  It is bounty Reese, but if you need to #2 you either walk back over to the beachouse or we'll drive back.  We did get what Hava's has at tailgates, a portapotty tent for pissing though.

For me, and I think for most people (vick not included) the amount of money you spend on you pets vet bills is primarily dictated on what you can afford and then also, will it dramatically improve your pets life.  To spend 2 grand on a 3 year old pup that should otherwise live another 9 or 10 years, then I'd say its worth it. If its a 11 year old dog near the end of his life and surgery/stomach pump/etc would be more difficult for the pet to handle or recover from then you are probably better off putting it down. Its all about what you can afford too.  My sister spent upwards of 8 grand on her dog recently. An obsene number for me but she's got bank and could afford it.

we had a limit, and had no intention of spending as much as we did, but at the same time its tough to just say put a needle in him and end it.   I have a buddy i work with who spent 10k last year on his dog who had eaten a rope and he had to have it sent in an ambulance from DE to University of Penn pet Hospital.  I made fun of him, and my wife and i had no intention of ever spending that.  We wanted to avoid surgery at all costs, and the stomach pump did the job for 400 bucks.
