...I want a puppy

[winter]

A friend of mine just got his first dog. It's a six-weeks-old siberian husky, which is a patently ridiculous breed in an apartment in the middle of a city, for someone who does not own a car and studies full-time. But the little guy's too bloody cute for his own good. I dropped by with dog-care books and ended up playing with the furball for two hours :)

I hope little Boris gets good care... damn, the cats'd kill me if I brought a dog home as well. And the only thing my apartment has on his is that there's walking grounds near.

Cuteness.

Our neighbours just got a dalmation pup, which Rachel and Poacher are both fascinated by. Poacher is in for a shock when it gets big (it's the same size as him right now) but hopefully when it does Rachel will realise why I'm saying we can't have one.

Oh, dalmatians are almost as cute :) And they're very easygoing from my experience - not nearly as much trouble as huskies, who have far too much wolf in them. Boris is already asserting dominance over the household and playing tug-of-war with everything he can get his milk-teeth on.

We really don't have the space for a bigger dog than Poacher, or maybe a beagle, even if we could find the time to exercise something like that between the three of us.

Rachel's talking about exercising the neighbours' dog when it's older though.

Shared ownership? Sounds like the best of both worlds. You get to play with the dog and neither feed it nor clean up after it ;)

Good point.
