Need advice from dog lovers....
| Sun, 01-13-2008 - 8:06pm |
I'm really considering a dog. And want some advice on how much vet bills usually run a month? $100? I really want a dog, although I know that might cause some issues if I have to go out of town, but maybe it won't be so bad if I can get an estimate from a few of you.

We had a beagle once - a male, but we got him as a puppy.
LOL I don't have a male dog humping story but have a female humping story, does that count? My two pugs are female, and she humps the other one for some reason! Their both fixed and the only thing I can figure out is that it's a dominance thing.
Also, my sister has a female yorkie and she used to hump a Taz houseshoe belonging to my neice! It was hilarious!
About humping.
We have a beagle mix on the first floor who barks and howls a bit but not excessively. He is very friendly and even puts up with my Mastiff without a fear aggression reaction. So my experience with beagles has been pretty impressive so far.
I hope it works out!!
Be sure to ask the foster family about the barking if you live in an apartment. I have seen beagles that bark a LOT and also ones that are quiet/shy.
The humping is more of a dominance thing - my two do it sometimes when they are rough housing and I say stop and they do - this is not that often. And they were neutered very young. They have never done that to people.

My female rabbits used to do that humping thing a lot. They were always fighting to be Queen Bunny. Our dog was neutered so young he doesn't even lift his leg to pee. LOL. He rarely tries that humping thing with anyone. I'll have to watch him when he's finally around D3 a lot. I keep them separate now since he knocks he over and was showing a bit too much jealousy. I never wanted to have pets and small children, we got the dog when S16 was 10 and I thought I was done having kids. Oh well, I just have to cope with the needy dog who is missing all the attention he used to get from me.
