I like this dog

How I spend my very little freetime.

So I'm writing from school, and I'm going to talk about the many different dogs I have selected that have good traits to be a pet for the Downard family, such as good with kids, house pet/ outside pet, all climates, city pet and so on and so forth.

I will start off with the Norwegian elkhound. Full grown it be alittle passed an adults knees. It is really good with kids which I know is one thing everyone is looking for in our next dog. It is also a good city dog and is adaptable to all climates. This dog is basically lightning with a tail. This is a dog that I would really like because I'm not a fan of the short dogs, I know a few who have them and some are nice but most are really snippy when someone pushes them around because they are so small, and knowing tyler that might be a problem.






Now the next dog is a little smaller but not punting size for me. The Norwegian Lundehund (those Norwegians know their dogs) full grown they come to an adults knee. They are also good with kids and are basically the same as the norwegian elkhound but smaller and a different color. So its like a mini lightning.
Next the portugese pondengo this one comes in all three sizes you just have check before you select which one you pick. I could maybe live with a small one but I would prefer a medium size one. This dog is good with children when respect is established between them, which is good because I didn't notice tyler ever trying to kill lightning they are watch dogs and hunting dogs which are kinda cool. They also come in short haired which means less shedding.




The Australian Cattle Dog!!! This is the dog I want! its lightning with pointy ears and a tail and more grey. Now this one is good with kids but should be supervised just in case a evil little kid tries to pull its tail or hurt it. I just love this dog theres no exceptions this is the best dog in the whole world. Its even the size for a lap dog, and they are so fun and energetic.





Border Collie is my second favorite. They have about the same personality of the Australian cattle dog but they are bigger and are black and white. All of these dogs that I have selected are very intelligent so that makes them really fast learners, all of them are loyal dogs and also very good watch dogs which means they will help us counter the surprise ninja attacks. We all liked roxy but we knew the problems with puppies so she had to go and roxy was a border collie.

German Shepherd, awesome dog loveable, fun to play with intelligent, bigger than usual dog we have had but not too big. German shepherds are just great dogs, plus they could help us find the good places to hide drugs and stuff where drug dogs can't smell. Also if our house collapses it will help us find people under the rubble .
These are just some of the dogs that I have studied and really really like. I would be happy with any of these dogs. As you can tell I'm getting to the point where I want another dog really really badly. Just not the same with out a soft lovable animal in the house and the bird hates me so that doesn't work.

Reasons why we need a dog!

Of course many of you know I've been pushing for a new dog ever since the passing of my bestest friend in the world Lightning. So I thought I would blog about the many reasons why it is great to have a dog many of these I found online. Before I start though I would like to begin with a story that I was emailed a long time ago and I have kept ever since then.

A Dog's Purpose (from a 4-year-old)
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa,and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.
We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

If a dog was the teacher, you would learn stuff like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

I always love reading that story because I love dogs! It kind of sucks not having one because I have no one to take on walks no one to talk to at night when a certain someone is knocked out from sleeping aids, no one to cuddle up with at night to keep me warm, no one to eat my left over food when I'm full and cannot eat anymore, no one to greet me at the door when I come home, and no one to play catch with outside. These are the reasons I came up with I then came across a website that gave more good reasons.

If you want someone who will bring you the paper without
first tearing it apart to remove the sports section

Buy a dog.

If you want someone willing to make a fool of himself simply over the joy of seeing you

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never says its not quite as good as his mother made it

Buy a dog.

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't give a damn about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores

Buy a dog.

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually

Buy a dog.

Now I never said I wanted a puppy cause I know that takes work and with all our schedules I know we don't have time to train a puppy, all I'm asking for is a cute furry dog (Border Coli) cause it sucks not having a dog in this house.
sorry about all the different text formats for some reason copy and paste screws up everything.
