Dog Days

I don't understand how people who have lost their dog go back to another of the same breed. Sure if its coats different, opposite sex, its own personality etc I can kinda see it but with Chock, all his breed look the same. Some have a white mark on their chests. But when at the beach or when I used to go to the oval (which i don't for this reason) and come across another one of this gorgeous weims, they are all like Chocky. Lovely, good natured, playful, affectionate idiots haha. Sure they're highly intelligent and all that but they rarely show it - except when they're up to mischeif and no good (like getting the rubbish, or treat on the bench)

Anyways, lately I have been thinking of the future, about houses and family and all that. The one thing I couldnt imagine not having in all is a dog (bigger the better) Growing up I always wanted a Dalmation or a Siberian Husky/Malamute. Now there a few different breeds, the previous two and also a Cavalier King Charles, Golden Retriever and a Beagle.

Here is the problem, all I think about is Weimaraners. I have looked at Weim Rescue sites, seen the refuge's notices and located a couple around Perth. Thing is, I want a puppy so you really can have them all their life.I am not sure if it is the breed or the fact its Chock. I want a girly one, I will call her Nilla (as in Vanilla) It is to easy to see my baby in them, and i think that is not good in anyway. But they are such an adorable bunch and all I can now imagine owning. And I still dont undestand how people can get another of the same breed of a past dog. In my heart I am wanting one sooo bad but in my head i'm like "Jen you're setting yourself up for major issues"

I dunno hey. Hopefully when the time comes for me to have a pooch of my own, I know I will love it and cherish it no matter what it is. Just yeah.. been thinking again.
