Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Mon Apr 30, '12 4:19pm PST  I'm just curious on sill random odd things that people have mistaken your dog for (e.g. A breed he's not, being the puppy of your other 2 dogs, etc... anything that made you either want to laugh your head off, or want to slap that person in the face & say "YOU IDIOT!!!") I was taking my Shasta for a walk one time, he was wearing his blue paw-print harness, and I had dark sunglasses on. A girl riding her bike next to me said "Can I pet your guide-dog?" I said "What?!" She said "Aren't you a blind person with a guide-dog? I mean you're wearing glasses and the dog has the fancy harness!" So I took off my glasses and loosened Shasta's leash a bit, "Nope, I'm normal... see? I can see just fine" Another time I was down at the playground making him go down the slide, jump over benches, and do his obedience. A couple boys came over, and with their jaws dropped said "WOAH! Is that a real live police-dog?!?" I just chuckled and said "Nope, he's my mutt... I don't think he could ever be a police-dog!" Some stories I've heard of are people who had a couple big dogs [I think it was like a Golden Retriever & a big mutt], and a little terrier, and they've had people stop them and say "Awwww your puppy is so cute! Are those two his parents?" "uh... no... my 'puppy' is about 3 years old and a purebred JRT..." my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Thu Apr 26, '12 12:01pm PST  Every afternoon. My boys, Shasta, and Otto, know it's dinner time. We keep the food in a big can outside. When Shasta says he's hungry, he runs up & jumps on the bench by the can. Otto stands in the middle of the yard, holding his football, giving me a blank stare when he's hungry. As soon as I open the lid & fill up the cups, they blast off to the back [where Shasta's kennel & Otto's cable (and their food-bowls) are]. BUT! It is an epic battle between them. If Otto gets to the kennel first, he waits at the gate and will wrestle with Shasta [Otto loves it, Shaz hates it]. If Shasta gets there first, he runs inside to safety (For some reason Otto knows he's not allowed to go inside & bug Shaz... I think they have little talks about it...) and Otto backs off. It's a strategy for Shasta though... Otto lopes off to the kennel, and Shasta stays behind.... when Otto's just about there... BAM! Shasta whizzes past him, often jumping clear over him, and flies into the kennel. Anyway, their daily routine is immensely hilarious. It can't be described in words though [even though I tried... did a lousy job at that, hah]. I'm gonna have to try & get a video of it one of these days... I have NEVER seen dogs who have such an odd routine like that. But it just makes me love them both all the more for who they are my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Other Barks & Woofs > Is it just me, or do people frown upon "young" dog owners?

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Thu Apr 26, '12 11:23am PST  I'm only 15 & have 3 dogs right now... [Well, our 10yr old lab is more my dad's dog, but since I'm the dog-freak of the family, I get the duty of buying treats, toys, collars, brushes, and taking care of them (I REALLY wish I could afford food for them.... getting kinda sick of having to feed 'em not-so-great food = ) I don't get dirty looks when I'm taking my boys for a walk... usually people say how well-behaved & handsome the boys are. But one time I took Shasta to a field & let him run around... he got just out of sight and I heard a bunch of barking & yipping... I ran over to see what was going on, this really old couple was holding their little Bichon and giving me THE worst glare imaginable... I mean I don't blame them to an extent... if there was a 45lb dog acting 'savage' to my little 8lb dog I'd probably be pretty ticked off too... but even when I calmed Shasta down and they continued on their walk, but they would still turn around and glare at me...... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogster Lifestyle, News & Entertainment > Does anybody agree with me that this isn't my dog?....

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Fri Apr 20, '12 10:47am PST  Wow pit bull? I can almost see where they come from.... your golden retriever's puppy? Wow that's just..... eesh! That sure bugs me when everyone thinks anything is a pit bull.... ANY dog that has a 'square' head, sleek short fur, or a solid muscular build gets accused of being a 'pit bull' by people around here.... ugh! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Thu Apr 19, '12 11:46am PST  Thanks, Jackson Tan. Yeah It turned out looking more like Shasta than I had hoped it would..... I tried emphasizing the white paws/chest but they didn't really turn out that great, haha [because Shasta has no white anywhere except for a couple flakes on his chest...] my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dogster Lifestyle, News & Entertainment > Does anybody agree with me that this isn't my dog?....

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Wed Apr 18, '12 3:43pm PST  Aww... well Rigby sure is a cutie! It's pretty annoying, I twice posted a question on peoples opinions for Shasta's breed. Both times I said that his father was a lab/wolf mix, and that he seriously is not a GSD. I got 6 answers total.... only one actually didn't have the word "GSD" in it! One agreed with me on his hound... [I'm 100% sure there is some sort of hound, if you could hear his bark you'd know exactly why...] but the other 4 said "Yeah right, there is NO wolf in him, you're just saying that.... he's GSD all the way!" ugggghhh.... Oh well. Some people can think what they want I guess.... I'm still confident that there's little-to-none in him. Beagle as a JRT mix? Wowwwww.... that's crazy! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Wed Apr 18, '12 10:45am PST  Really? Haha.... well guess ya learn somethin' new every day. I know very little about Dogster still I think..... By the way, Sirus is SO beautiful! I was right too.... just 'cause a dog is black & tan doesn't mean it's got GSD as a primary breed... (Assuming you guys don't see GSD in Sirus?) It still drives me insane that NOBODY believes me that Shasta's got little-to-no GSD in him [they will always see his color and say "Yep, GSD all the way" ugggghhhh!!!!!]. Sorry.... that's just my ultimate pet-peeve... people saying Shasta is most-to-all GSD [that's just crazy that some people say my 45lb, curly-tailed, flop-eared, long-legged mutt is a purebred GSD...... ] Thanks for the post!!!!! =D my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

New to Dogster/Tips & Tricks > New to Dogster

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Tue Apr 17, '12 11:18pm PST  Can't agree more with Mika & Kai. I'm relatively new as well...... I'm just exploring and clicking around... I've made a few good pup pals so far [only a couple have sent me messages though..... and right now only one am I actually conversing with.....], if you ever have any questions about anything, there are tons of very wonderful Dogsters on here who would love to answer your questions as best as possible! Hope you make some wonderful Pup Pals, find out really really cool dog stuff, and ultimately enjoy Dogster! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Shasta Speed Demon     Barked: Tue Apr 17, '12 10:55pm PST  @ Addy: REALLY?!?!?! That's just.... wowwwww.... Craziness! One of my pet-peeves is when everybody calls my dog a German Shepherd [asking if he has GSD in him isnt so bad.... it's just when they say "I want a dog exactly like yours - a purebred GSD!" ], cuz he actually (though all the Dogsters I've told dont believe me, only pics they see of him) has only a very very tiny amount of Shepherd... his grandmother was about 1/3GSD possibly [I met her]... so that would only make him have a drop... He's just a big mutt with a tad bit of everything [believe-it-or-not he's even got wolf! His father was lab/wolf mix. It was pretty cool to find that out from his original owners] ANYWAYS, I've blabbed enough, haha @ Hannah: Yes yes definitely going to agree! Yeah yeah yeah.... we all have our shares of "blonde moments" *facepalm* Some people do get on my nerves.... they manage to say the dummest things when I'm in the worst of moods too! Oh well.... I'm sure I've said some pretty humiliating things to some people who just weren't in the mood for it too....... Thanks for the link! [there was an accidental space in it, but I figured that out & fixed it, Haha] my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
