issues surrounding getting the parents a dog.

parents' old dog died in january after a long and happy life (r.i.p. mokka). so they need another one. this became glaringly obvious when, visiting home, nothing was trying to escape out the garage door (clearly a state of things that cannot be allowed to continue). mom wants a dog. brother, quite frankly, absolutely requires a dog. and dad always pretended to not like the fact that there was a dog but we all knew better.

i think they should get something small, either gender but thoroughly fixed, that won't shed inappropriately, probably not an actual puppy but maybe not quite an adult either (really I think they would be very happy with an adult dog, but they want a puppy, which i think is a terrible idea). already somewhat house/crate trained - like this one. Or this one. Or absolutely 100% this little guy. Or this pretty baby girl. And this one looks like rather a cuddle bug. And this one looks absolutely perfect even if they'll think it's too big. they're entirely too picky, the parents. and i would have got them one if they hadn't been having a party on saturday (which would be a lot for a new dog to deal with). but i think a lot of dogs would be perfectly happy to sit in the house all day with a couple of chewy toys. Mine are. They need a dog. Already.
