Jae Onasi Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Meet Sparky! We adopted him from the humane society a few days ago. He's about 5 years old. His previous owner had to give him up for adoption because he had lost his job and couldn't afford to take care of him anymore. I'm proud of his previous owner for doing the right thing and not just abandoning him on the street. We saw Sparky when we went for a visit last weekend, and put him down as one of our choices for a new family member, along with 2 puppies. When we had the chance to interact with the dogs, he was just the sweetest thing, very loving and well-mannered. As you can see, he absolutely loves playing with balls. One of his favorite things is to catch them in mid-air. He knows some basic commands and is already housebroken, which is a godsend. He's a very solidly built boy. He weighs in at 63 pounds, and we think he's part black labrador retriever and part pit bull--his head is pretty massive, and his jaws are very strong. He's collapsed a couple regular sized tennis balls already. The first thing he did when we got in the car to go home was jump in the front seat and lick my ear when I sat down in the driver's seat. Sparky and our cat, Joey, are adjusting pretty well to each other, though Joey still feels the need to make sure the dog knows his place in regards to the cat, which is, of course, inferior to Joey. We're making sure to give both of them lots of love.
Astor Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Definitely looks like he's got some Pit Bull in there somewhere - he's got that stocky look that most dogs of that type have, but that doesn't stop him being adorable.
Trench Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Better keep an eye on 'im. That pit bull blood'll get 'im in a heap a trouble with boss cat. Congrats on the new pup Jae.
adamqd Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Yea he does look pretty Stocky and shorter legged than most Lab's, but saying that I had a Golden Lab when I was a Kid, and he was a BEAST, I think his mom may have made friends with a Newfoundland though hehe Nice Dog
Astrotoy7 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Joey still feels the need to make sure the dog knows his place in regards to the cat, which is, of course, inferior to Joey. As the President of the Official Joey Appreciation Society, I would like to forward this message from Joey mtfbwya
Sabretooth Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 He may be Sparky to you, but he will always be Herr Panzer Antonov in my heart. /skype posse in-joke Nice snaps, but he looks more srsbsns than absolutely cute. I suspect he can blow up the facade of a building if America is ever attacked.
Astrotoy7 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 /skype posse in-joke The clique takes plebs now!? You should all get bedazzled jackets OT: HANG IN THERE JOEY! A TUNA COMFORT PACK IS ON ITS WAY! mtfbwya

Astor Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 stop being a bully mtfbwya At the risk of being labled a stooge of the Skype Posse, maybe you shouldn't be calling people plebs with the intention of stirring up exactly this kind of response.

Totenkopf Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 @ChAiNz---into hiding, it seems. Btw, not a pet person, but cute pup.
Quanon Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Great dog Jae! Our little dog, though old fellow know, still loves to go after tennis balls. He use to jump quiet high, now its a little less, but he going to be 7 now. Great stuff Skype possy? Whatz Skype ...
Hallucination Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Grats on getting the dog. We saw Sparky when we went for a visit last weekend, and put him down Should I feel bad for this?
Ctrl Alt Del Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Yep, head's too wide to be just a labrador, not to mention his short-but-strong body. It's always a lot of fun when a new dog comes in.
Mav Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 No offense, but I really feel like punting that thing... Grats on the new dog Jae.
urluckyday Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 What a beautiful dog! That fur shines amazingly. Congrats on the new 'child!'
Jae Onasi Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 Please invest in an invisible fence this time around. Point Man's building a fence for the rest of the yard--our neighbors have a good portion of it fenced off already for their dogs. Sparky doesn't run like Lucas did, thank God. @Astro--Heh--hope your cats are putting Pico in his place. I did get some treats for Joey as well as Sparky. What a cute dog! Are those your kids in the pictures, Jae? Yep, those are my kiddos, who like the screen names totofett22 (my son) and twoko29 (my daughter). Joey and Sparky were sniffing each other nose-to-nose yesterday, so I think they've decided the other one is OK.
