Dog's probably gonna die

[longhornbaseball]

One other question: Cost: I'm assuming you have to go through a breeder to get one?

I think mine was $300 from a breeder. He was supposedly the runt so I think we got a discount. I don't know how much one would be today.

Hope things work out, I know that is a tough thing to go through.

My friend and his wife have one and theirs is a great dog.

No doubt. I lost my 16 year-old poodle this year. (It lived at my parents' house.) We actually got her back from the dead about 2-3 years ago, so the extra time was icing on the cake, though she was in diminshed capacity for those 2-3 years.

This will be the 1st Christmas without her, and her absence will be noticed.

Popeye:

Is that yours, and if so, what's your objective take on purchasing/owning one?

That's not Popeye's. That's the dog which Bernie was gonna eat.

That's not mine (I have a corgi). Just some picture I saw on the internet last year.

An ex-girlfriend of mine's parents had one, and they loved it. I've heard nothing but good things about them, and would consider getting one myself (in part because of the no shedding thing, because my dog sheds like mad). But I don't think it's cool for a bachelor to own one by himself...

Longhorn, my sympathy. My dogs are still fairly young, but I'm not looking forward to that day. It's amazing how quickly they become part of the family.

I've heard nothing but good things about Bichons (especially the no shedding thing).
