Short of Funds, G.O.P. Recruits the Rich to Run

Quote:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 — Confronting an enormous fund-raising gap with Democrats, Republican Party officials are aggressively recruiting wealthy candidates who can spend large sums of their own money to finance their Congressional races, party officials say.

Good, they should be spending their own money. If you are not seriously rich voting Rep. is voting against your interests these days. They should be pulling from their own to show what they really are.

so i was thinking of getting a dog. puppies are so cute and i love having them around the house. I'm not sure what kind to get though. I've always had bigger dogs, but I'm thinking that a smaller to medium size dog might be fun this time around. I was thinking about maybe a Puggle.

Does anyone have personal experience with puggles?

^ Stalk.

lookout123 · 11-27-2007, 04:32 PM

11-27-2007, 04:35 PM

Stalk/threadjack.

I like golden retrievers myself, but I think they're in the large category. A labradoodle (sp) is a nice mix too. Still a bit large tho. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Class now shows his true colors, just another useless stalker who will follow from thread to thread harassing and jacking/derailing threads with no real contribution to the board.

lookout123 · 11-27-2007, 04:38 PM

i'm thinking anything that ends in "oodle" is out. i do have some pride.

11-27-2007, 04:42 PM

Ok, if that is what you want the thread to be, since you don't know how to start your own and have to jack a legitimate thread.
BTW, you both tipped your hat with this and showed that you are both true stalkers and all the complaints about me calling you that were unfounded.

lookout123 · 11-27-2007, 04:44 PM

i'm not sure about that one. he doesn't look aggressive, but i think i like them a bit fluffier.

When you get a "mixed breed" sort of dog, you really don't know what you're getting. Pugs are quiet, beagles are loud. Pugs are lazy, beagles like exercise. Both have health problems specific to the breed. The best way to go is to find a reputable breeder of the breed you like, and buy a puppy from them.

The price of a pet-quality puppy from a breeder is sometimes similar to that of stores, sometimes higher - depending on breed. But in a store, you don't know if the puppy is coming from a puppy mill. Breeders are trying to improve their breed by producing a strong "model" of what the dog should be: built correctly, with good temperament, and genetics to allow the good traits to continue. Puppy mills just turn out as many dogs as possible with no concern for whether they are producing good dogs.

Stalkers are typically only concerned with one specific model and/or type, with no concern for the genetics to follow. They are more interested in the here and now.

lookout123 · 11-27-2007, 04:50 PM

You have pugs, right?

Bullitt · 11-27-2007, 04:50 PM

I've always been partial to Siberian Huskies. We never ended up getting that dog for our apartment, which is probably for the best in the end since we're only going to be living here till next august.

Undertoad · 11-27-2007, 04:53 PM

I have a Boston Terrier. Used to have two. I love the breed, but J is angling for a different one next time. Maybe French Bulldog, which are similar.

B, a Husky in an apartment? Surely not a small apartment...

lookout123 · 11-27-2007, 04:53 PM

having a husky out here would be pretty cruel. but they are beautiful. My two favorite dogs are both gone now. one was pit bull/lab mix. sweetest most gentle guy you'd ever meet. unless you a male tried walking into our house while the wife was home. he'd drop you. but if you let him out first and then the guests came in, he'd be their best friend.

his sister (they had identical markings even though they didn't share a common breed) was a german shepherd/rottweiler mix. a little high strung princess, but a lover. miss those guys.
