The dog gets old too, you have to get new ones. You only get one penis, well, most of us only get one.

Viagra works too, yo.

Even when I get old, I can't imagine a situation where it is either the penis or the dog and the penis not winning.

The bond of your children should also be a billion times stronger than that of a pet as well. A pet will never be a child, no matter how much childless adults whine about it.

Yeah, last weekend I was at a friends place, his oldest dog is 14 and probably won't hunt with us this year. Gonna be tough losing her.
Made me realize that in 9 years, I'll probably have kids around 6-7 years old. My dog will be 12, and probalby on her final years. The kids will have been around her all their lives, so it's gonna be tough for them and me...

The nice thing is my dog was pretty unruly for a long time. In the last year he's become really loyal and (mostly) well behaved. Still gets really wild when people visit...but that usually lasts a minute or two and he calms down. He loves visitors.

Mine (being a lab) is still hyperactive all the time, but actually really well behaved around kids.
Recently she has gotten more protective of me and the wife though. Actually barked and growled at the meter reader coming through the yard yesterday.

Manny is very protective of my wife.

That was my first reaction too....but he's at home and I'm at work...so I looked at bunch of pics of him and I from my mobile and photobucket. I can't wait to get home to take him to the park tonight.

That hurt to look at...but....it was a nice "back to center" check....a re-emphasis on the importance of having true friends....no matter their species.
