Shiba inu are adorable, but I think I'll always have a cocker spaniel. I've had one ever since I got my first surgery, so it's a special breed to me.

Cockerspaniels are cute, though I hope yours isn't super duper hyperactive like the one a family friend owns. >.>

Cause at one point when it was younger, it would just urinate EVERYWHERE. Especially when it was excited. Like even a little bit excited it'd be urinating everywhere as quickly as a cheetah runs! D:

Nah, both of mine have been very mild-mannered. The black one I had before had a nasty temper at times, though. He was very protective of me.

Aww, that's so sweet of it. >w<
But lucky you, having much more calm cockerspaniels.

Yeah, he really was great, and now he's buried in our backyard. He lived to a ripe old age of 16, though.

When/if we move we'll be getting a shiba inu. they aren't big but aren't small either ouo perfect for a new owner x3

Wow, 16 years old? That's really impressive for a dog. owo
I'm impressed with him. :3

We took good care of him. He was my sweet Blackie. We have another cocker now, though. His name is Buddy, and his fur is a light brown color.

That's good to hear that he was able to live such a great, happy life. :] Do you have a picture of Blackie (btw, loved how you used -ie suffix over the -y suffix) so that I can see him? >w<

That sounds great! What's Buddy like? And do you have a picture of him as well? >w<

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of either of them... that I can access for posting. Blackie died before we got a digital camera, and I can't get to the scanner to scan the hard copy photos. I have a couple digital pics of Buddy, but I don't remember which flash drive I put them on.

Aww, that sucks. D:
Poor Blackie, unable to see a digital camera. Poor little guy. :'(

Well, if you ever remember where you put your Buddy pictures, I'd love to see them. :]

I like spaniels. We had an English Springer when I was younger but she had to be out down at 6 due too temperament problems. It's common in spaniels unfortunately, so they need to be checked for line health. I loved my Cavie, and migth get another but I'd like to check out either a Clumber or Tibetan spaniel as well.

I like Huskies too but my lifestyle doesn't suit them.

I'd love a Borzoi one day. There's just something I really like about them, the sort of lax, pouty look but regal if they put the effort in. ;). Again though, there is soem lifestyle issues there. They are runners. I think I'd like to do lure coursing with one.

I'm starting to like boxers too, having met a couple now. They're sweet. :)

I'd love a big dog. I had a Great Pyranese as a kid (before we got the spaniel) and grew up with a Great Dane in the house when I was a baby, but I can't manage a dog like that if it ever got unruly. I have no problem with my sister's mastiffs, but they are well trained and behaved, but I do have snags if they decide to be stubbourn. They are simply too heavy for me to do anything with them if they decide they don't want to do something.

Birthday party jam session! Been drawing here while some of the guys have guitars and drums going, while the ladies are chatting and breakign out into song occasionally. Co-oincidentally, did anyone know that you can use the melody from "Stray Cat Strut" to sing "The Cat Came Back?"
