Which one of us do you think will cry more? Both of us are getting poked on Friday.
you, the dog will be out 
.
Yeah but after he comes to he is in for a hell of a shock.
you will be more shocked than he is That is the cool things about dogs (animals in general) they don’t care. I am always amazed at how easy animals adapt and how happy they stay. My GF worked in an animal hospital a long time and tells funny stories about guys bringing there dogs in for castration and how emotional it was for the guys. Some guys acted like they were putting the dog through some trauma.
What tat are you getting?
In 20 years your dog will be dead and you will be crying about the tattoo and how bad it looks. Ever see at tat after 10 years? Looks like a inkspot.
I know! I want to get a pair of Neuticals for the poor guy, but my wife won’t let me. She says she doesn’t want to see balls all over the house.
I’ll maybe post a pic of my tat over the weekend. I feel kinda sheepish 'cause I’m 30 and getting my first one. I feel like if I’m getting anything inked in my new old age I should already have a dozen of them. Unless I change my mind overnight (and I just saw a totally badass design today that is growing on me) the plan is to get a sorta an abstract bluewater leg band with a pseudo tribal shark design superimposed on top of it. You’ll have to trust me that it looks better than it sounds.
I thank you for your support.
Actually I’ll be lucky to get 12 years out of my dog. Danes are much too short lived, averaging about 10 years. I do get very happy thinking about all of the dogs I will enjoy over the next 20 years of my life.
And I would be willing to bet that my tat will hold up better than I do in 10 years. Ever see a 40 year old ass? I rest my case. But seriously, my wife’s tat is 10 years old and looks awesome. A lot has to do with the skill of the artist and care you take of your skin. Everything ages; ink is no exception.
In 20 years you’ll still be a moron putting down strangers over the internet. Lame.
We had a Great Dane when I was a kid. Fabulous dog! It only lived to about 10 (died within 2 days of his sister that belonged to a friend) but pound for pound, thats about 1610 poodle years.
We didn’t have him neutered, but I think he died a virgin. I watched him trying to mount bitches a couple of times - with his legs splayed and wobbly - but he just couldn’t get low enough. Quite comical. We should have introduced him to a sweet-natured mare.
At 30 you are old and ugly enough to make up your mind about a tatt. Post photos. You’ll probably cry - in a manly way of course.
I’ve seen pictures of your dog and, well I hope it’s not too late. He’s too pretty to not leave a legacy. In fact I’d love to have one of his children, tho that would make 6 at our house. And this is coming from someone who’s quietly opposed to irresponsible pet breeding.

Thanks. Mine is mounting anything that moves as well as some stationary objects just to be safe. The Basset hound, the Boxer, my daughter, the recliner, the corner of the bed, the BBQ grill, etc.
These two guys are car pooling home from work one day. Traffic is
barely crawling along and they are both a bit bored. So the driver is
looking around and suddenly he points at two dogs having sex on
someone’s front lawn.
“Look”, he shouts “What are the those dogs doing? are they fighting?”
The passenger, being a man of the world, replies “They are having sex.
Don’t tell me that you have never had sex doggie style before?”
The driver, a bit embarrassed, admits that he has never had sex
doggie style. So the passenger says, “You have to try it. Its pretty
cool. Here’s what you do. Tonight when you get home, fix your wife
a margarita and then suggest that you want to try this new sexual
position.”
The driver thinks a bit and then decides he will give it a
try. The next morning, the two commuters are back in the car and the
passenger asks, “Well, how did it go?” To which the driver replies, “It was
great.
But it took me 6 Margaritas just to get her on the front lawn.”
That’s great Gary! My wife calls the dog a humpernickel…as in pumpernickel. I don’t know why chicks rename things with nonwords, but she does. I don’t want to tell you what she calls me!
On a margarita note, I learned last night the easy way that if you add Bacardi Vanilla rum to a premium margarita (top shelf tequilla, grand marnieau, contreau) the result is a very smooth drink. Also Mojito’s made with vanilla rum taste pretty smooth too.
Having a beautiful dog isn’t a reason to breed a dog, God knows we have beyond too many now.
Thanks Pat, that is awful nice of you to say. But I don’t think I could breed him even if I wanted to. As striking as I find his coat his is not a recognized color by the AKC. Since I am not planning on showing him that has about as much impact on my life as UCI rules, but breeders that take this more seriously than I do wouldn’t touch him. He still makes a fabulous pet.
OK, OK ya’ll are right. A humping great dane sounds pretty scary to me. Best of wishes as your boy says bye bye to his boys.
And FWIW I got my last three girls from rescue. I agree with everyone on responsible pet breeding blah,blah,blah…Yet, he is beeeeuuuuuttttiiiiiiful.
You know I can’t help but add that I find the white boxers gorgeous and they aren’t to be spoken of by the AKC either. Maybe someday I’ll have a home full of beautiful but “unacceptable” pups.
Pat
Just make sure you don’t get it backasswards … or your dog’s gonna be the one showin’ off his new tat.
That is the cool things about dogs (animals in general) they don’t care.
I bet if my dog could elaborate in conversation, he would express to me that he’d really like his balls back. Think if the situation were reversed, and dogs had human males neutered when they were 12 … at some point, we’d have really liked to have had our balls.
trying to mount bitches a couple of times - with his legs splayed and wobbly - but he just couldn’t get low enough.
I know that feeling, I know.
The Basset hound, the Boxer, my daughter, the recliner, the corner of the bed, the BBQ grill, etc.
The Grill?!?!?!?!?!?!? What kind of dog humps the grill? (note to self: never BBQ at stiltriness’s house) Buy the dog a stuffed animal or “pumpin’ pillow” already. =)
White Boxers? I thought Jerry Cooney was the last one?
You ask for opinions and then when I don’t give you the support you obviously desperately need you say I’m lame? Man, you don’t sound like you have the maturity to make a decision yourself. If you did why the post?
LOL, now I guess we’ve outed the AKC as a racist organization.
( tried to past your Gerry Cooney line but it wouldn’t paste)
Pat
What tattoo are you getting?
I don’t know why I’m doing this but here we a’go…
Dude lighten up. I was not seeking support. I was sharing a lifestyle thread like many ohers do here on ST and particularly in the LR. Further it was intended as a whimsical funny ha ha type of post - NOT a therapy session. My sarcasm was evidently lost on you. My bad.
Any time you talk about someones loved pet being dead and gone and therefore irrelevant in the big picture is bad table manners to say the least. Also your predicting my reaction to something so individual was silly. I don’t know why you think I will change my mind…my thread wasn’t asking strangers for their input about the merits of tattoing. I just found it kinda cool and a weird coincidence that both me and my pooch are going under the knife for body modification on the same day. That’s all.
One thing I do agree with you though. I wouldn’t enter myself in a maturity contest with anyone else on here. Case in point - last night after drinking margaritas and mojitos with my parents and sisters I half drunkenly stopped at a bar that was famous for serving beer in yardstick sized glasses. I completely spaced out on that small detail as I had never ordered beer by the linear foot before. I had a craving for Guiness and I cockily went to bartender and instructed him to pour me the biggest Guiness they had. I was expecting a glass just a bit taller than a pint. Whoops.
