With a rusted decoration you could sya you're going for antique style or rustic or something.

I guess the question is will you work for him? :yikes: Lol

I have to sell my decorations at half off because 3 of them have been "broken" cause of thier docked tails!!

I'm sorry, I think I'd rather have the wrinkly crackhead one, personally.

Sada, that picture has sold me.. what a lovely decoration you have!!! But you know, after seeing him, I have to wonder... if you're getting rid of such a beautiful ornament, is there something wrong with it? Besides simply being a decoration, of course.

Eh.. probably pretty far away. Washington DC area.

Yea I think the shipping would be too much. I live in Iowa.

It's just a decoration.

Per Rob:

Ok, we're not in the stone age.

Dog's aren't just decorations, has she ever heard of "physiological therapy"? That's what our decoration does...

 

[Sunnierhawk0]

Oh you want the crack head puppy named Pearl? Well, she is full price, $1

She can just stuff it in a Flat Rate box.

I do have a slightly serious question for OC, though. I went back and read the post carefully (something I hardly ever do, I know)... if you don't call non-working dogs "fake," what do you call them? You say working dogs are real... and non-working dogs are the opposite of working dogs... Dictionary.com defines the antonyms of "real" as:

"false, imaginary, imitation, unreal."

and the antonyms of "fake" as:

"authentic, bona fide, genuine, original, real."

As far as the words you're using go, I don't see that you have much choice of a definition for the non-working dog.

** goes to pet the lamp** I think I like my lamp better than my other decoration...

 

[Laurelin]

See, I told you she sits there and looks pretty very nicely. Matches french decor, but probably any kind of European type house. Not sure if she'd go with a Southwestern look.

I don't think it would fit it weighs 80lbs.

bah, wouldnt match my house....

I'll take! she'd look good on my bed, I think.

 

[noludoru]

Nonsense Laurelin--ANYTHING can go with a southwestern-style house if put a bandanna and/or cowboy hat on it!

If you shove it in hard enough, it'll fit. I mean, your other option is shipping it via train, and I think that method of transport costs less.

 

[Sunnierhawk0]

She would look good jumping off the bed and doing circles you mean. She is after all, a crack head

 

[FoxyWench]

does that pillow come with?! would go just fine in my place im all about rich earty and jewel tones, golds and reds work perfect, but im broke, payment plans acceptable?!

but i think put a lil red bandanna and a cute cowboy hat and shed fit ANY ranch theme.

I love all dogs. With purebreds, I do prefer to see breeders breeding dogs who are functional in their original purpose, unless it's something cruel (like dog fighting) or outdated (like labradors bred to bring fishermen's nets in) or unless their original purpose was companionship (in which case show breeders are fulfilling their original purpose, so hoorah!) It saddens me when herding breeds lose their instincts, especially border collies.

I don't think any less of dogs who don't serve their original "purpose" any more, but I do prefer breeders who breed for the original purpose, if that makes sense.
