Unpopular opinion incoming:re:dogs


Jun 1, 2018, 8:44 AM

Wife's little holy terror that I have been waiting to kick the bucket, is about to. Lung tumors. 6 months.

Pretty sure I'm the only ### hole here that doesn't get all depressed and eats a bunch of cake while crying into a bottle when a dog passes. Even my lab that got ran over.

I see them as dogs. Not people. They are dogs. They are not my "fur babies"

I guess growing up around hunting dogs that were hunting dogs and not pets kept me from that.

Should I go to therapy?

are common place with the hunters around here. Like another post stated, it's almost cultural.

Then you have the majority of hunters around here who have a hunting dog that won't work. They try to give them away to a kid or family.

Old boss bought a squirrel dog from Tennessee for 2k. Wouldn't do ####, everybody picked on him for blowing money on a stupid purchase. He gave the dog to a kid that came in the store.

Never really understood squirrel dogs


Jun 1, 2018, 10:31 AM [ in reply to What breed of dog makes the best squirrel dog?***** ]

I see the point with ducks, obviously. And doves, quail, etc. I see also. Who wants to run all around the field picking up birds during a dove shoot. But squirrel dogs? Basically you're hunting squirrels solo. Second, there's no water to swim in to get them. You shoot them. They fall to the ground. You walk over and pick them up.

Totally unrelated side note:
One thing I've always wanted to do was go deer hunting like my great-grandfather did. On horseback with a shotgun. Walk through the woods, jump a deer, shoot it. Tie it off to the horse and drag it. I have a picture (1890's) of my great grandfather on a horse with two deer being drug on ropes behind it when coming back from a hunt. He had some huge horse and had been known to come back dragging up to three deer at times.

Ride the horse while the HORSE walks through the woods.


Jun 1, 2018, 10:51 AM [ in reply to Why walk through the woods if you have a horse?*** ]

Wasn't clear. My bad. It's weird though that if a man walks through the woods he will never see a deer, or at least not get close to one. They will jump and run long before he gets close enough for a shot. Horses, however, do not scare deer. You can walk right up on a deer on a horse and they won't run until you're almost on top of them.

My first lab. Liver cancer at 12. broke my heart. got her as a wedding present and she was my best friend. Would hunt like a world champion. Curl up in the boat and keep me warm, sleep on the bed. When we brought out boys home, she slept under their cribs for the first week or so. Our whole family cried. I still miss her. I dug her grave in the back yard. Still go out and talk to her sometimes, and make sure her spot is always cut and weedeated nice.

I am not as attached to my current lab. She is a good dog, but can fill those shoes or the spot in the heart.

Man's best friend. Just buds. Everyone that I know that hunts with their dogs still gets torn up when they pass away. I look after my dog because he needs it, not because he is my "kid". I enjoy dogs. I take my dog anywhere I can take him. In my lifetime I have had a Golden Retriever, Lab, Great Dane, Keeshond, a mut, and a Dachshund. I went small dog on this last dog because all dogs don't live long enough. I am crushed each time one passes. They're great.

Jun 1, 2018, 10:20 AM

We moved too much to keep a dog. My dad wouldn't allow a dog in the house. He said something about three children being enough animals to keep up with.

I got my first dog when I was 25. My aunt bred show class dobermans. She had a five gen male blue ribbon winner named Satan's Reflection who had several blue ribbon offspring. On one of our visits to her I viewed a litter of SR's pups. They were perfect even with their tails and ears intact. When she told me they'd bring $500 each I was stunned to silence.

She also told me the two black pups were spoken for and I should pick one out. I told here I couldn't justify paying that much and she shamed me by reminding me that she was my favorite aunt and I was her favorite nephew and either of those pups would be a gift. I picked out a red female, named her Cinnamon and asked Aunt Doodle not to cut her ears. She said I could come back and get the pup in four weeks.

I had that dog three months then my psyco ex ran her down like a dog in our quarter mile drive. To keep me from killing the ##### she called our preacher to break the news to me when I got home from work that day. I wept bitterly the entire time I was digging the grave. It traumatized me so intensely I haven't to this day sought a dog for companionship.

I still hate the bi1ch and love that dog.

Re: Unpopular opinion incoming:re:dogs


Jun 1, 2018, 10:39 AM

I'm sorta with you on this one.

We always had cats growing up. Outside cats. Big, wild, unfixed cats. These things would fight, reproduce, and kill animals with incredible speed and ferocity. My mom probably ran over a dozen of them over the years, other animals killed some of them. We never really sweated it one way or another. Two cats in particular, we had for over a decade and I did "love" those two, I guess, but the others we didn't give two shiits about.

We had a purebred Dalmatian, Pepper, when I was little. We gave him away. All he would do was chew on the outside of the house, and hump my brother and me.

No other dogs until SarahAdidas and I got married. We got some sorry-asss rescue dog (MollyDogg) that was wild AF and eventually bit a kid on a bicycle. Lawsuit, the whole 9 yards. I hauled her to the pound that same day. The alternative was for me to put a bullet in her head and bury/dump her in the woods. I was somewhat upset, but I knew it had to be done. It was definitely NOT like getting rid of a child or close friend, but there were feelings involved; mostly fear about being sued and anger that I didn't get rid of the dog sooner.

Now we have a golden-doodle named Lula. She's sweet and I like her, but I wouldn't say that I love her.

We also have a few cats, and they're about 1 bad move from getting shot and fed to the pigs.
