DBHS (Dog Breed High School)

Perhaps Rex and I have run out of things to talk about. Maybe our lives are just kind of boring right now. Whatever the reason, a few nights ago we found ourselves talking about what a high school would look like if all of the students were dogs. I have to dedicate this post to my in-laws, especially Jake, because they have this weird love of dogs that I think I have been catching in the past few years.

Because of his love of dogs, Rex has 15+ dog books. We like to look at them and play "Choose or not choose," a game that sounds like the most retarded game EVER but is actually really fun. You turn the pages of the breed book, and for each new breed you declare if you would choose it or not. Then you defend you answer. It's really that simple. Cool, huh? Okay fine. I knew you would hate it. THE POINT IS that during a routine game of choose or not choose, Rex and I stumbled upon this idea of using high school stereotypes to build a theoretical high school full of dogs. I am going to present it to you now. And since not all of you have all 150+ breeds memorized like Rex does, I have accompanied my description with pictures.

Football team: Bulldogs. I feel like this one is pretty self-explanatory. They are tough, beefy, and scary looking.



Basketball team: Dobermans. They are sleek but still really athletic. Oh, and still scary looking (I feel like most athletes try to have that "scare factor" going for them).



Track team: Greyhounds. They are built for speed.



Prom Queen: Afgan Hound. All that hair... I feel like this dog just looks princess-y. If they made dog tiaras and I had an Afgan Hound, I would buy her one.



Nerdy Kids: Dandie Dinmonts. A lesser known breed, but the resemblance to Albert Einstein makes this dog a perfect candidate to represent anyone who has ever gotten an "A" in chemistry.



Stoners: Bloodhounds. The red eyes and saggy skin make the Bloodhound a perfect candidate to be a stoner dog. Their "I don't care" attitude makes me feel like they would rarely go to class.



Special Ed Kids: Pugs. Obviously pugs are ADORABLE, but let's be honest with ourselves - they look a little bit retarded.



That One Really Weird Kid: Chinese Crested. Every class has that one REALLY weird kid - you know who I am talking about. Well he/she would be a Chinese Crested.



So there you have it - our high school of dog breeds. I feel like the diagnoses are pretty spot-on. I cannot WAIT to get our first dog...but which one do we want?! I'm sure there will be another blog about that when we actually figure it out.
