Five minutes with the broom vs two hours with clippers? I’ll take the broom
i finally bought two roombas. 1 alone didn't do the trick, even for a small, 2 bedroom appt with no carpets. Now with two I have to empty them every other day. I have a frenchie and three regular cats. My next cat will be a sphinx ;)

Have known a few Airedales over the years, amazing dogs. But then I think all dogs are amazing.
I had two Doberman. I hated them. They're usually afraid of everything, and attack. I always kept them at a good distance. Always slept inside the house, but not the best mannered dog that I've had.

How long is your upcoming commute?
I drive 1 hour, to work, each way, 6 days of the week most weeks.
You get used to it :)
I conmuted only once in my life. Toyota needed an industrial engineer/robot programmer with experience in auto industry, so I went. Hated every day of the 2 hour conmute. We couldn't move, Oscar had his factory here in Buenos Aires. I'd wake at 4 to be at the factory at 7. No more.

Every Dobie I've know were wonderful dogs. Maybe those were from a narrow gene pool. Normally highly intelligent and well mannered if trained and exercised properly.

I've never met a dog I didn't hit it off with. Cat's too, for that matter. I am rather partial to silly little dogs, though. Especially ones with "big dog" attitudes. I think they're hilarious.
You would love my Em, she's a 17lb dragon that wiggles from head to toe when she's particularly pleased with her ferociousness.

Well hopefully I'll have a pleasant surprise in the mailbox next week.
I had emailed the company asking for a refund since it was showing not shipped after 30 days. It showed up in my box the next day. Apparently china post is no more efficient than Usps :confused:

There's a mastiff in our block. I love the gentle giants, he doesn't bark or anything. Yago is 32 pounds and barely a foot tall. He drives the big dog completely mad, biting his paws under him... He's one of the little fellow with big attitude!

‘The bigger they are, the harder they fall!’

All us small guys and dogs think the same ;)

Sounds like my kinda pooch. My last doggo was a teacup chihuahua who lived with me for a little while a few years back. My girlfriend at the time fell in love with her at the breeder and it was hard to blame her, really. She was absolutely adorable with her apple shaped head and light tan coat. No bigger than a small honeydew melon. I think my girlfriend was more in love with the idea of having a puppy because when it came time to bring her home and train her, she made all of the most common mistakes. The task of crate training fell upon me and we did have a fantastic time together. My girlfriend named her Evie and I picked up a cool little carrier for her and toted her everywhere for the few weeks I had her. We were a fixture at happy hour at the local and the bartender always had a treat for her and a martini glass full of water for her to drink on the bar. Hilarious.

It quickly became obvious that she was going to be too much for my girlfriend to handle, though. On the first night after I gave her back, when she was finally used to sleeping in the crate, I got a hysterical phone call at 3am. My girlfriend gave in to the whimpering and let Evie sleep in the bed with her. Of course, she dropped a dookie right next to her since she was so exited to be in the bed and honestly, still too tiny to jump down to the floor. My building didn't allow dogs, otherwise I would have kept her. After interviewing several candidates, I found her a great home with a young family and a new mom who had past experience with chihuahuas. I was sad to see her go but it was definitely the best thing for her. I stayed in contact for a few months and it sounded like they were having a great time together.

I’m just smitten with Pup. Cutest freaking lamb evvvvvver! Picos look good on the farm. I know they get a lot of flack, but they’re a huge bang for the small $
