Anyone get any new pets? If so, post 'em here!


Here's out new guy, no, we didn't get him for Christmas, we got him last September. He's just about 6 months old now.

His name is Griz, 'cause a lot of times he looks like a tiny little bear. He's a Schipperke. These guys are like little nuclear powered Super Balls (remember those?). They bounce around the room, off the walls, always running. In fact, I'm about 98% certain that they are actually incapable of walking!
He's really good at standing on 2 legs... My, what sharp teeth you have! They're about the same size as a cat. The cats took a vote, they think we should send him back... But the big dogs think he makes a fine play toy. They just love herding him around the yard...

He looks like a little black wolf. Very cool looking dog. Added to my list of personally desired breeds of dogs.

COOL looking dog!

Looks like our old Keeshound!

Yeah, they're great. But (and that's a BIG but) these are NOT beginner dogs. There are dogs, and there are high energy dogs (like border collies that need to have a job, something to do). These dogs are like nuclear, on speed, dogs! I mean, like WOW! Ya gotta watch 'em all the time or they'll shred everything in sight! Oh, and we've had LOTS of dogs over the decades, but MAN, this little guy is something else! If you get after him, it's not like most dogs, who roll over and say, "I'm SO sorry", no, a schipperke says, "Hey, who the heck are YOU yelling at? I'm SUPPOSED to do this stuff!, So BACK OFF!"


Love him dearly though, but man sometimes...

Little Dutch boat dog. He's probably looking for his canal barge.

Congrats, CJ and missus. He looks like a handful.

Am I the only one that realised that CJ has a JG dog? Nuclear powered too.

Hey, I never said I was against Jetglo. Look it up!

See T.............no finger prints on that bad boy.

Maybe not directly, but I noticed that you have fallen far short of endorsing JG as a must have colour. Sometimes staying silent or remaining neutral on a subject speaks volumes for your real feelings. Busted!

Nah, if you're not quick, he'll probably bite your fingers right off!!!

Hey, I've always said that I really like it (though I do think the white binding and pickguards are a tad gaudy), It's just that whenever I get to thinking about buying one, some gorgeous piece of grain and flame comes along and makes my buy it instead!


Luckily, with dogs (and cats, we have 2 black cats too), fingerprints are never an issue...

I might have to give "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin a listen!

Annnnd, CJ can be positive that his pets weren't made of particle board and then dipped in black paint...... just sayin'
