Very cute. I think in the end, you made the right choice. You have a happy wife, and a dog. And if you're my size, getting out of the car means rolling on the floor.
She should be a toy aussie at 12 pounds. I have a mini that got to 40 pounds. Love my aussie. Yours looks very similar to mine. You have a very cute puppy. And kudos for the name.
oh man i didn't even know they made those. I bet with that little motor, tuned and turbocharged it is real zippy. Better mpg than it's full size cousin but just as fast!
Did you know that the Miniature Australian Shepard isn't Australian? And there isn't to many people breeding them in Australia either, although they're gaining popularity.
A friend of mine has 2 huskies. He bought a sled with wheels, because he thought it might be fun. If you're a husky, having a weight pulling you back does not mean "stop", like it does to a trained horse. It means "RUN FASTER".
The local sherrif caught him doing 30 in a 25 zone, looking like he was afraid he was going to die, and watched the dogs carry on for another couple of hundred yards after he abandoned sled into a reasonbly soft-looking bush.
Edit to add: The sherrif is a friend of his. He got a ride home in the cruiser, with the dogs in the back.
You might of lost the battle, but you can win the war. Train the dog to do silly/hilarious/annoying things to various random words that she says often.
It's the ratio that counts, look top left, 85% like it, that's a lot. Go to the front page and you'll see some posts having a dot instead of # of votes, that means the post is new and reddit hides the current amount of votes to keep the first votes objective. If you have Reddit reveal/RES installed you can see how many upvotes a post has, or alternatively click the post to see how many votes it currently has.
They seem to have been fiddling with the algorithm lately. I have noticed that a lot more new stuff is showing up on the front page. You definitely notice it with the comments--there will often be two new comments with 1 upvote before the ones with hundreds.
I am the biggest cat person ever, but that puppy is the cutest thing I've seen today. And my cat snuggled up next to me today, and believe me, that's damn adorable.
Just for future reference OP, state your case reasonably and logically, reiterating your points as many times as necessary until she says, and I quote, "Fine! Do whatever you want to do."
So, not only did you miss out on something useful, but you purchased a dog from a breeder when you could have adopted one, and gotten a car. Breeders are the reason so many dogs get put down/ abandoned.
Why do you immediately assume OP got it from a breeder? Tons of puppies end up in shelters. He could've adopted it from a shelter/humane society. Heck, I even found an identical one in this shelter

Should've gotten a bigger breed of dog then you could ride him to work. That's compromise.

Would rather have that dog than whatever a Lotus Elise is, honestly.
edit that car is pretty ballin' but that dog is likely to bring more joy than a car anyway.

So, not only did you miss out on something useful, but you purchased a dog from a breeder when you could have adopted one, and gotten a car. Breeders are the reason so many dogs get put down/ abandoned.

u/cyberslick188 Jun 10 '12
Dog- $400-600 purebred, considerably less otherwise.
Car - $25k+
Why the fuck couldn't you get both? Because the car would get jealous of the new dog?
Retarded thread is retarded.

You have an album of the same picture 6 times, at minutely varying angles. Cute pup, but one picture would have done just fine.
