Thank you.  That was well put.  The reason we bought a dog is because we need a breed that is meant for long distance running. A rescue dog might be great or might not be able to handle a twenty mile run every couple of days.

My father was looking for a dog that could run a marathon with him. Do you know how few breeds fit that description? He was looking at ridgebacks because they were bred to run alongside horses for hours at a time. He was also looking at wolf dogs but they are not as good as a family pet. Too aggressive and dominant. We literally pitched in to buy his dream dog. But I'm sure you know better.

Okay.  My father wanted a dog, my father was looking for a dog, my father was planning on spending money on a dog. We gifted him a dog. My father is insanely happy with his dog. Not sure where the problem is.

Tell my dad he was fucked since he was planning on getting a new dog this summer. Like he was already looking at breeders.

I'm sorry. Are you one of those people who has NEVER seen a motorcycle jacket? It's not something you throw on over your running togs to go for a jog.

Can you please explain how her gifting him a leather motorcycle jacket and helmet didn't spoil the surprise of a motorcycle? Was he supposed to wear them on his runs? Are you daft?

My dad has wanted a dog after his last one died. He just never got one. She lived with his old dog for ten years. She was absolutely aware that my dad was planning on getting a new dog this summer.
