If I can find this then I can have a dog. Help!!!

[Deleted]

Over the weekend H and I saw the most amazing dog. It was a corgi terrier mix. Apparently it's a real mix called a Cojack. H said that if I could find one of those he'd be ok with getting it.

I'm not at all interested in buying a dog from a breeder (just a personal thing), so I need to find one that needs a home.

Apparently these dogs are super hard to find. I'm willing to go anywhere to get it, so distance doesn't really matter.
Help me find a Cojack, please!!!

Did you try Petfinder.com?

Yes.

I'm trying to find a rescue group that deals with this breed, but no dice.

I have found at least three Jack Russell Terrier / Corgi mixes on Petfinder.com in WA state - most of these are rescue dogs. You should try it.

apparently I'm failing at this. I tried terrier corgi, cojack and nada. What search terms are you using?

[Deleted]

Nm, I'm an idiot. I found them under corgis.

Thanks, SF

[jennlin]

good luck!

[madDawg228]

Good luck! I hope you find a Cojack soon!

[mkate710]

YAY!!! That dog is super cute. Hope you find yours soon! Keep us posted!

[Deleted]

I'm going to punch H in the face. I found one that we both agreed was cute. The temperament of a cojack would totally work for us and H was like "uh... I don't want to be responsible for this or take care of it." I told him that I would do it.

He's not on board any more. What the hell. Seriously. Can I get an annulment over this?

[tacocat]

That is beyond lame. Annulment for real

[FrozenSunshine]

He'll fall in love. no doubt.

get the dog.

[amandasw]

omg! I can't believe he got your hopes up like that! wtf?!

Right?! He had to have known that if he said "that dog is cute, I could get something like that" then I would have gone out to find a dog like that.

I'm seriously so angry and sad right now. We've been arguing over this pretty much since we got married. Before we got married, I swear, he was never this anti-dog. If I would have know that he was this against dogs earlier I don't know if I would have kept dating him.

He keeps telling me that if I want one so bad then to go get one, but I don't feel like it's right to get one unless he's 100% on board, right?

I forgot, is this because of your schedule? Like, traveling etc? During the day on a regular work day you can take it to a doggy daycare.

yeah, mostly because of my travel schedule. I'm thisclose to saying screw it and finding a new job where I don't travel at all.

I know it sounds a little crazy, but maybe you should consider it? IMO it's not a crazy thing to think about if a dog is something you really want. It's like having a kid - people sacrifice all sorts of things to make that happen and I don't see this as any different for you.

Also, does your H like dogs in general? Like if you're at a friend's house, will he play with it? Unless he's scared or hates them, he'd probably warm up to it eventually.

[Deleted]

H is fine with small to medium well behaved dogs. We have a friend with a dog that he kind of likes. That dog barley barks, is probably about 20lbs, calm and really well behaved.

All we need is a chill dog and I think it'll be fine.

[hallows]

OMG Get him! He's totally cute! And you deserve to have a dog, for real. Your H will fall in love with him. My H was SO against a dog for years, and we fought over it. Then I dragged him to an adoption event and found one I fell madly in love with. H wasn't on board, but I said, "I'm getting him." Within a week, H was just as in love with him.

[Deleted]

Ok, we've come to a compromise. There will be no punching.

H will go meet a cojack locally (basically anywhere where we don't have to get on a plane) and if we click then we can take it home.

However, in the mean time I have to do the following:
1. Find 3 different people that can dog sit while we're on vacation. I have confirmation from 1 and I'm waiting to hear back from the other 2.
2. Lay down chicken wire along the fence, so that the dog doesn't dig
3. Stop harassing him until I find one for us to go meet

I think I can get down with these demands.

Well, at least he's finally starting to be moderately reasonable!!

Dog sitter #2 right here.

[georgeharrison]

I would dog sit for sure! I know I don't really know you, but seriously...I LOVE DOGGIES and would do it for you for long periods of time even.

I know this is kind of morbid for this post, but to prove my point of how much I love dogs, a girlfriend of mine sent out a group text that I got as soon as we got off the plane today that they put their sick, old doggy down. I started sobbing in the airport walking to baggage claim. James thought I had found out that a person had died.

[hallows]

I would doggie sit too!!

[amandasw]

look at that! you've got like 4 dog sitters already!

LOL. I found 3 prior to this, but now I can tell H I have 7 ;D

[tacocat]

I will dog sit if you can cat sit
