I went dog shopping with the GF over the weekend. I said I didn't want to get one for a few months but it wouldn't hurt to look at them now to get an idea of what we want. She is obsessed with getting a dog. We go to the shop and she sees a dog she fell in love with. The salesman sees that and starts his sales pitch. She falls for it hook line and sinker. The dog was $2,000 by the way.

I basically use my veto power and say we agreed on getting one in a couple of months. The salesman then has the nerve to say he thinks we are both making a huge mistake and are missing out. He even said that after we leave he will show this dog to everyone who comes in first. That was the last draw for me, I insisted we leave. She was pissed off but came around a few hours later and agreed the sales guy was trying to play her.

End story

Go to the pound/SPCA and adopt a dog for much less, and enjoy it just as much.

For 2K, you should have been able to have the salesman on a lease barking like a dog. :p That is ridiculous!

So are you just not telling what kind of dog it was because you know you will get made fun of?

"Salesman" and "dog" do not belong in the same sentence.

Exactly. There are a lot of good dogs looking for homes there, and won't cost you anything more than getting their shots and whatnot.

If you're thinking of spending $2,000 on a dog, you can just swap out your man card for the idiot card.

I can't remember the name but it was a little girly foo foo dog. I don't remember the name. I think it was pomaranian or something to that nature. I am not a big dog person but I do know that I would not be walking around with that dog without a gf because that might call into question my manliness:)

True, but keep in mind that he's probably getting laid.

i'm not even sure where the GF came from because just last week he was asking if he was known for his YAGT threads...
