I just bought a puppy from the Humane Society
His name is Albert. I named him after Einstein, because hes a mutt, and is misunderstood, and smart.
I lost my bulldog 3 weeks ago, and my basset hound is dying now and in pain.
I cannot bear to live without a dog.
Albert is half cocker spaniel, and half pekinese. He already pooped outside, he is 6 weeks old. All the other puppies were mean to him, so we picked him at the shelter. He is asleep now with a teddy bear on one of my old sweaters.

1. Ah. Cute.
I know what you mean about not having a dog around. My
Gretchen died after 20 years. I have five dogs now. I'm
certifiable. :)

4. He sounds so sweet
I'm so sorry about your bulldog and basset, I know how hard it is to lose them; they're like babies. :hug:

Albert sounds just like the guy you need to fill the void. :)

5. My last dog came from the humane Society. She was a mutt and
one of the best dogs I've ever had. I had her for 15 years. She died two years ago, and I still miss her. My best to you and Albert.

6. I think this is a ritual
Ive been through so much death lately, and now, with my son possibly being delployed in 15 days, I needed to do something positive...so I bought a puppy.

8. Good on you. . .
My beloved husband of 30 years is "allergic" to animals. I put it in quotes because it remains undiagnosed outsdide of a distinct "getitawayfromme" attitude on his part. I really would LOVE to have a puppy or, better yet, a kitty, yet I am trapped in this fulfilling relationship with a non-animal person.

I've already told him that my next husband will love animals, be independently wealthy,and taller, and a plumber.

Howdy the Hound Dog says, "Hi Albert, welcome to DU!"

Howdy is laying here behind me now on his rug reading DU! He knows what to do when he comes to a Bush!

13. Sorry about your basset hound
Don't let him/her suffer. I recently lost a cat to feline leukemia, and should have put her down before her very difficult end. I am petless for the first time in over 15 years, and I hate it. Lost two beloved dogs in the past four years. Enjoy the pup - sounds like a lucky dog!

15. Lucky you!
I just lost my dog last Monday. He was old and in pain so I had to let him go. Of course I'll get another dog but I need some time. Actually I may get two so they can have a pal when I'm not around. Both will come from the HS. Rocky was nearly a pound puppy too as the stupid pet store where I got him said they were gonna send him there at the end of the week if no one bought him. I went back at the end of the week and bought my marked down mutt for $18. Best $18 I ever spent.

You did a smart thing - it's absolute hell not having a dog around now.

Wishing you and Albert a wonderful life together :-).

17. You must post pictures.
I can't wait to see what a half cocker/half peek looks like. :-)
