I guess if you insist I can kiss the dogs
I was telling the orthodontist tech, the other day, that I shed so much, when I wash my hair in shower I have to pick my hair out of my braces. She said she had been wondering why she woke up in mornings with doggie hair in her braces. It seems that her Austrailan Sheppard has been sneaking up on bed and sleeping on her pillow when she's gone. She said, "gross." I told her I'd rather have doggie hair in my mouth than people hair.

Hello dear Sashwa how are you ? I know your trying to hide but your not doing a good job of it
Huh...that is interesting. Perhaps it is the endorphines working for you. I wish it worked that way for me. I haven't had a migraine in a long time. I'm sure that the headaches I've had this week were not migraines. They were just stupid headaches. My migraines come complete with stars, numbness, nausea, slurred speech....more like a stroke I guess you would say.These only had pain, and sensitivity to light and sound. Thank goodness too...I don't think I could handle a migraine right now.
You may be onto something there. Lots of people thrive on stress. I had few in Nursing school, the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, except for a few set off by girls wearing perfumes in small classrooms, that set mine off. Perfume and fragrances are a major no-no for caregivers. Students weren't supposed to wear any perfume but some did. After a few requests from me school started enforcing the no perfume rule. There was one fragrance, that was popular in the early 90's, that set me off so violently, in seconds, just walking near where someone had been hours before, I would instantly go almost blind. (Pain indescrible) To this day, and I'm now much less sensitive to fragrance triggers (greatly reduced after menopause) I still get a flush of rage when I get a whiff of that "note" in anything.

Scat Mats work wonders. We had no furniture rule until this group of Bubs. But still have "no bed" rule. We have gate for room with bed downstairs and they aren't allowed upstairs bedrooms much. Have to keep part of house dander free for visitors. Country Bumpkin Bubs are always too dirty. Our friend, Sissy Dog, has extreme allergies to cats and a little less to dogs although she loves dogs just about more than any person I know. She can only be down here for a certain amount of time before she has to go outside or upstairs. When she helps me clean I make her wear a mask.

He may have had an unannounced visitor but that is a good picture!!!
And good night all.

At least Jake Mastiff doesn't suddenly appear on top of you like the others; bouncing Bubs!!!! Our smallest, the Heeler girls, at 60+ lbs, can do some serious hurt when they take a flying leap and land on you. DH's wood fence is not only to protect his gadgets/remotes, etc., and shoes from becoming toys but to protect his body. I have a small table in front and to the side of my sofa recliner seat to block the Heeler girls from leaping directly onto me. Not only is it startling but it hurts. DH had me assist getting Jake Mastiff down as he was afraid of "punctured spleen."
We are really permissive "parents" to a point but I discourage them getting in my lap. Jake Mastiff likes to sink his head into my lap or even better for him, my breast, when I'm reclined. I can only stand it for a few minutes as his head is really, really, really heavy. The Doodles snuggle up really close, sitting up, and then collapse against me. Lilly Heeler is the best snuggler and she has a particularly luxurious coat around her neck, that is so soothing to fondle. She was like a little baby bear when we got her. (I'm not into stuffing and mounting pets that have passed but if I outlive her I'm seriously considering having her neck scruff made into a collar.) She presses up really close with her whole body stretched out and firmly against mine. Rosie Heeler visits me early morning, at least once, and touches her cold nose to my face before she snuggles up. Pretty irritating as it's usually several hours before time to get up. (I sleep in recliner part of sofa; DH in his recliner. Yep, we've been denning with the Bubs forever.) The only time I sleep in a bed is if DH is here to den with the Bubs in living room. When he is gone and I sleep in his recliner, and Bubs can't snuggle with me, they let me know how deprived they are even though I'm in same room but out of direct contact. (They take turns during the night snuggling with me.)

Any animal over 20lbs is heavy when it's on you!!!!! No matter the weight, pointy paws really hurt on certain body parts. The Heeler girls have tiny feet, relatively speaking, for so much body mass that lands on you. I'm thankful that Jake Mastiff doesn't have overly super "springs" to launch a full land onto body. I couldn't make Hilda Rottie get up on sofa with me no matter how insistent I was unless I gave her a formal command. She and Hank Rottie were still with us when we brought Doodle puppies and then Jake home and started allowing them on furniture.

LOL its funny how the really big ones can be so affectionate
Most Mastiff types are particularly known for sitting on feet. They crave body contact so much we have to use special training techniques to encourage them to not lean into us when training, like reward pets from inside so they won't lean in for contact. English Mastiff have mastered sitting up against your legs and sliding .... down leg to go into a full sitting stance fully trapping human feet to ground. They are just about the cutest puppies that exist. Many Mastiff owners carry them around like babies for first month or two (by the time they are 3 months they weigh too much to carry around). Even if they have not had human contact for early months/years of life they still exhibit the strong desire to be in physical contact with human. They are major big whoosies; even the really tough and/or aggressive ones. English Mastiffs are what we call very "soft" dogs and are easily scarred by overly harsh training or treatment.
They have a lot of cat like characteristics, too, as they do a lot of the body rubbing and use their paws a lot. Although they are not ranked way up on "intelligence scale" for dogs the tests are biased in favor of a different type of thinking process. They may appear big, goofy, and dumb but there is a lot going on in their brains most of the time. Some of the "intelligence" testing for canines is based around using paws for problem solving. My Mastiff's over 30+ years have used their paws for tasks more than any other breed I've been around a lot.
