my neighbor rescued two Tibetan Mastiffs from California.  The rescue delivered them to MD.

Having your pets delivered is the bomb.

Chows are great for biting people who aren't their owners.  Bitchy dogs.

Thawk is probably getting it to protect his awesome hat collection.

One of the reasons I'm getting a Chow is for a guard dog.

I prefer guard dogs that aren't prone to biting my guests.

Like German Shepherds? Rottweilers? Well trained dogs bite because people deserve it, and you're welcome to visit anytime after I get the dog.

Chows are temperamental as farg.  If I'm not mistaken, they're one of the more "unstable" breeds out there.  But they aren't featured in rap videos and they're really fuzzy and cute, so they get a pass. 

But in the end, it pretty much comes back to the owner.  So yeah, your dog is farged.

Rottweilers are pretty good dogs. I've had a lot of good history with them.

Pit bulls are ugly looking. I saw a dude walking one the other day and the leash was a farging tow chain.

Sgt PSN

That's because he's working the dog out and building muscle.

We euthanized my beloved dog Asia Tuesday. I'm pretty bagged up over it, so you fargers get to just revel in my sadness and LOL at this sentimental post because I don't give a shtein that you don't give a shtein.

She was born January 31st 1999 and had been with me since she was 11 weeks old.  I was 24 years old then.  I had no concept, no earthly clue of how different my life would be by the time hers had run its course.  No wife, no house, no children, no farged up neckspine or blowed out kneejoing, no awesome online personality and fan club...I was just a kid and I wanted a dog. 

She was handsome and fast and strong.  Everyone asked what kind of dog she was.  People, strangers, mostly black people no doubt related to Mike Vick even offered to breed her.  I'll pass bro, thanks.  She was Boxer, mostly...with something else worked in that gave her a real nose.  I knew her father well.  He was a giant purebred Boxer.  Her mother belonged to people I did not know, a simple-minded farm family that kept their dogs on chains outside.  The puppies were seen as a means to a buck, and they were having a hard time selling them as pure boxers, so she was treated as just another mouth to feed and was being neglected.  When I got her at 11 weeks old, she was emaciated and diseased.  I told the guy I'd take her off his hands for nothing and I'd be doing him a favor.  He was pretty stupid, and hesitated for a bit before relenting. 

14+ years later, I took her for a final, slow walk through the woods into a sunny field together yesterday, and I wept like a babe.  She died in my arms and was buried in a grave I dug myself in the same field.  It comes in handy, this ditch digging skill.  On Saturday I'll plant a nice tree over her grave.

Her younger "sister" Maude, our Rottweiler, handled it well.  We brought her along so she could sniff the body and know that Asia wasn't coming home.  She seems to have understood that because she's not pacing around the house looking for Asia.  She's also not quite used to the idea of being top dog yet though.  That will come more naturally when I get a puppy. 

I want a German Shephard next but holy shtein they are expensive.  Not going to rescue a dog this time.  I've had two and I want a puppy that wasn't abused or neglected this time.  There will always be farged up dogs to adopt, I've done my part on that count for a while. 

So even though you don't care, pour one out for Asia, my fair friend.  She was dearly loved and is sorely missed already.

A few weeks after I got her:

When they get older, its more common.  We had our dog put to sleep, if i had waited an hour the deed would have happened, but we couldn't stand to see him hurting any longer.
