View Full Version : The latest addition to the Buna household

Well it happened yesterday lunchtime...the wife and daughter (aided by my boy on the phone) pinned me down in the man cave and watched over my shoulder whilst I searched a common site for Lhasas.
Found a seven week old litter of five in Bridlington (250 mile round trip) so off we went at 4pm and returned at 10pm with a dog (Louie).
We named him after Prince George (and preferred the alternative spelling of Louis) because they were both born on the same day.
He is obviously too young to have had his injections so is therefore confined to barracks until his eighth week of life and first visit to the local veterinary surgeon for his inoculation jabs.
The wife has spent most of her time since then following him around the house with newspaper, kitchen wipes, a mop and a bucket of disinfectant :)
A few pictures (camera phone, so not the best quality).

:DAwwww
I have this thing about animals, and get all misty eyed when I see people giving a safe secure home to them.
Good stuff, really. Thanks.
I got like 3 cats and a dog, I am biased.:O:

OMG HE'S ADORABLE!!!!! How can you avoid the temptation to just eat him up?
Altho I suppose the fact that he's probably doing constant pees and poos probably makes that less of a problem. :haha:
But what a cutie... will be worth all the trouble and cleanups, you'll get paid back in snuggles and the kind of unconditional love only a pet can provide.
So cute, reminds me so much of our old dog Sue (Lhasa/Tibetan Terrier), a little owl is what we used to call her.
I hope you have many happy years with little Louie.
And, of course, I can't resist throwing in an old fave:

My favorite thing with new pets is watching the new ones interact with the old ones.
My male cats loved the dog, the female was and is still full of hissing jealousy.
To this day they play, and the dog is so much larger yet backs down from this tiny little black and white fluffball cat.
It is funny to see a 10 pound cat punk out a 40 pound dog.

Congrats on the new puppy.:woot: Now enjoy house-training.:D

It was fun to watch Niki interact with Rocky, then Rocky interact with Boudreaux.
It was all fun and games until Boudreaux came home with me, then Rocky said..."you brought him home?" wtf.:haha:
They both love to chase squirrels together though.

All the brawling they do, it is rewarding to see the kitties using the big old dog as a pillow, the dog will even growl at you if you pet any cat that is laying on him.
Animals are so much better than humans, they speak no words yet are more up front and honest than most humans. My cats laying on the dog is priceless.

Pet therapy really is best for man-caving subsimmers; I mean really, ya' burn calories feeding, walking and cleaning up so ya live a little longer. Most rest homes have pets now but I don't know as they are into subsimming...yet. A real cutie though:arrgh!:

Really can't complain bro, still employed and keeping food on the table so there's not much else I can ask for.
At least your dog isn't pug ugly... you did better than me :har:

We always so no more after one passes but our hearts always say something else. My wife and I said the same. As of two weeks ago the change of heart kick in.

I also have been thinking about a puppy and like some of you I have also lost a pet several years ago and now it is time to find another one to love and train for security of just a bark now and then is better than nothing.

I don't want just any puppy however ... I had a cocker spaniel as a lad and I would like to finish my life with a pet that is friendly, comfortable with children, country living with a warm den. Someone to walk with and trust by my side, not too friendly to strangers and doesn't take a lot to feed or take care of.
These two are on sale, but $1,200 usd is a little high.
I'm thinking more along the lines of $500 to $600 each and purchasing two, male and female from two different breeders.
Black and tan would be more what I would prefer, blondes are nice though. I wonder what one blonde and one black ebony puppy would produce?

Just know they're places to find great dogs at no cost. For instance, my wife runs a kennel/dog spa. We can board over 100 dogs, but every week someone brings a rescue dog, cuz they know my wife will give it a free grooming. Often, we're asked to board rescue dogs until a home is found and the dog gets dumped on us. Many times she gets there in the morning to find a litter of puppies in the parking lot. She does the best she can, but we're often forced to have the shelter come get dogs we know will get put down.
My wife has fallen in love with Tibetans, she owns a few, but has several other rescue dogs. Wonderful dogs if trained young. She has two original Tibetans, very expensive dogs. Sure, we could give them away or sell them to someone who would make breed mares out of em, but she won't. They're past the age to be home dogs, but would make someone a great farm or ranch dog. She has found good homes for several others.
Can you imagine the cost of feeding 8 of these..

Have you considered adopting from death row...I mean, a shelter? Often young healthy dogs are dropped at shelters by people who decided they can't be bothered with the dog's hair colour not matching the sofa.
May I suggest you browse the web on 'shelters' and healthy young dogs being dropped there, and 'puppy mills'.
Dogs exist as such because of 'homo sapiens' influence. Some can understand up to 200 words.
And dogs adapt easily and quickly, at any age. Their instinct is to try and please the 'alpha', you.
Mine learned to do a few things right just by watching me, no need for intensive training. They copy our behaviour.
A bonny wee pup you've got there mate. Just make sure Mrs. Buna doesn't put it in the curry. :D

Cheers mate....I had a small curry for lunch yesterday and a little while after the bugga must have smelt my breath whilst I was playing with him on the floor and gave me a quick lick on the mouth.
The next ten minutes or so he couldn't keep away from his water bowl.
The wife would go mad if she ever found out :)
She'd be cross if she caught you and the pup tongue kissing I'm sure. :O:

so cute and a new member in the house :)
myself i am an animal lover ( but more for cats instead of dogs). since i moved for college i have the thought of having a cat, but honestly i can't make up my mind about some things regarding to this decision ( first of all space, 40m^2 , no garden as i am in a city, while all pets we had in family had a garden, could go roam freely)

My dog got ahold of some spicy chili once when I dropped it.
Immediately ran out of the kitchen for water...and for the next hour, she was constantly licking her lips....

My dog is a Boston Terrier and she eats everything. When she was little, she ate the drywall completely off on a corner in the laundry room.
The sad thing is, she's 6 and going blind. :wah:
