Good Day Sunshine
I am coming to you live from bakersfield, california. as I lie on the
living room sofa bed trying my damndest to fall asleep. but its rather
warm...
my day began bright and early at about 8:30. I still had yet to pack
both my clothing and equipment. so I quickly grabbed my bag from under
my bed, through in some shorts, tshirts, socks, and swim trunks. I then
grabbed the playstation, through it into my backpack along with all of
its accessories (contoler, cds, wires, screen) and I was good to go by
about 9. after we packed up our stuff in the truck we took my dog to the
kennel and headed out for sf. there we picked up my aunt, and within
about a half hour we had left for SoCal.
my mom drove most of the way while I either enjoyed the isolation of the
front seat and my ipod, or the dread of the cramped backseat and the
begining of shrek, our in flight entertainment.
I took the helm for the last hour.
we arived in McFarland at about 3:45. we took a load off and said out
hellos. I tried to settle in but the unexpected humidity was bothering
my knee. aside from that the weather was nice and sunny and hot. as the
sun set later the temperature dropped to a very pleasantly moderate
temperature. anyways....
eventually some friends of my aunt came by with thei dogs. they have a
beautiful miniature pinscher, the dog I REALLY want, but is not
available. the 2 puppies they brought, however, were for my sister to
look at as she has wanted a puppy/dog of her own for some time now. the
puppies were cute, but we are unsure of how big they will get or what
they will look like.
after they left we headed over to the highschool, where the festivities
were to take place. after staking out a claim in the football field and
having a bite to eat, my mom, sis, aunt and I took off to look at some
other available dogs. these, however, were purebred chihuahuas and a few
weeks younger. in fact, they were still nursing to some extent. the 2
they had were tiny little balls of flabby dog that barely resembled
dogs. they were cute indeed, but not very responsive as they were soo
young.
anyways, my sister now faces the choice as to wich dog to get. it would
seem no matter the case, we will go home with a new member of the
family.
which do YOU think we should get?
one of the half mut and half mut mixes that are about 6 weeks old and
prolly free...
or one of the purebred 4 week old chihuahuas for 80-100 bucks? any
thoughts?

I'm not sure about the US but in Singapore where I come from, more than 10,000 animals are being put to sleep each year because, for various reasons, people suddenly realise they can't keep the animals anymore.
Personally, I feel it is better to adopt than to buy. At least, some of the dogs are given a second chance to live. However, this is only my opinion. The decision is still yours. :-)
With Shirley on that one.
That's exciting about a dog, though. I love having Lana around.
chihuahuas = socially acceptable rats. go with the mutts man. not only are they cuter, but they usually have a more unique personality. that, and free is always good.
