    Default Wayyyyyyyyyy off topic even for off topic


    I'd like to find a housebroken, short-haired dog with a friendly/gentle disposition for my 86 year old mother. My dad has recently had to go into a nursing home and she's really depressed and lonely and loves dogs. Do any of you know someone that has something cheap? Free would be nice. I'd drive 100 miles or so for the right pooch. PM me please if you know of anything that might "fit" her.

    That's funny Beagle:D I think I told you I once had a Beagle i nicknamed Dammit 'cause he never would come when called.

    Pugs are just about as independent and headstrong as Beagles but they sure are loyal pets. Sugar, my 6 year old Pug lays down on a rug by the door and doesn't budge until i return

    We got 2 of the best dogs anyone could ever hope for. One is a welsh corgy, very smart and absolutely loves people; only problem is, he is so smart that he is hard to train, darned dog knows your trying to train him and damned if he don't give you a smug "ya right, like I'm gonna listen to YOU" look. Great dog though. Other one is a lab/blue healer mix, hands down the smartest freakin dog I ever seen. You can literally train him to do whatever you want in 5 minutes or less; and, he's the most loyal family pet you will ever find. He's not too good with strangers so you gotta be careful until he gets to know folks; after that he is a friend for life. Got him right after I lost my wife 9 years ago so we been through hell and high water together, that guy is the definition of 'mans best friend'. Named him Gilmore after my sons favorite movie at the time, Happy Gilmore.

    Sorry CN, I know you were asking about where you could find a dog for your mother and I didn't help with your search. I just felt like braggin on my best buddies! Good luck with your search, and let us know how it turns out.

    Default Well, I may have hit the jackpot

    Time will tell. Called "MY" vet this week and told him the situation of me wanting a dog for my Mom. He had a "found" dog that no one had claimed for over a week. He contacted the police, animal control, checked the bulletin boards at the quick stop and the grocery store. No one reported a missing dog. Kind of under the weather when he first got her. Appears to be approx. 4 months old, possible LhasoApso/Poodle combo. He called me this a.m. to drive up & take a look at her. I walked up to her crate and she cowered in the back at first till I started talking to her and she started wagging her tail and came to the front and put her paw up on the door so he let her out. She trotted right over to me and put a paw up on my leg. Followed me around his place till I sat down, then she put a paw up on my leg again. I put her on my lap, she turned around twice, laid down in my lap and put her head on my arm and let out a big sigh. SO, she has passed both the "friendly" and the "lap-dog" test. Since then she has passed the "leash-walking", "riding in the truck" and the "using the facilities" test. I had to bring her to work with me and when I opened the crate door, she trotted right in and laid down and is sleeping. SO
    could she be the perfect pet for my Mom? It certainly seems that way.

    Thanks to those of you who sent me PM's and offered me great advice on how to proceed. You guys are AWESOME! THANK you very much!

    Iffin' the little pupper would do that to me, it might not make it to Mom's place. Might be staying with me instead. What can I say though, i'm a sucker for friendly/quiet dogs.
