This should end our little debate once and for all:

This is just the kind of deep thinking and soul-satisfying information that you folks are missing out on by not attending Education Week.

I saw that. Pink Panther should be afraid, very afraid.

????

For some of us, the death of a pet is a difficult thing. Am I to be mocked if I looked up information about this after my pet died?

Apparently so.

If your wife died, would you want someone mocking the plan of salvation and the after-life? Probably not.

Sally: Is one of us supposed to be a dog in this hypo?
Harry: Yes.
Sally: Who is the dog?
Harry: You are.
Sally: I am the dog. I am the dog.

Apologies. We know that you, of all people, would never stoop so low as to mock someone else.

perhaps just the wisdom I needed in making my decision about whether or not to get a dog. Which decision is keeping me awake at night, btw. Does that mean it's a bad idea?

MikeWaters · 08-22-2008, 04:43 PM

dog ownership is hell for some people, and it's heaven for others. either way, it is still time-consuming and challenging.

please consult on breed before you make a decision. that can have a big impact.

I've done hours of internet research, got 6 books at the library, e-mailed several breeders describing what I am looking for, consulted with the vet at the animal rescue shelter. . . I told you it's keeping me up at night. I don't take it lightly. Just making that jump to actually owning one. . . scares me. I'm starting to think I've actually done too much research. Everywhere I look I get told how serious this is, which is a lot of what is giving me pause.

well, even morons can do it ok.

one thing to consider is dog hair. that might drive some people crazy.

also if you have small children, a bigger breed is probably better.

If in doubt don't.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
