Choice of dog
Between the three of them, I have a clown, a good-time gal pal, and a
soulmate/bodyguard. I think I've got my bases covered! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melanie Lee Chang I don't have the portable cocktail party dog. Both are pretty good at BBQ with people willingly throwing tennis balls over and over and over and over and over. True outdoor stuff is Franklin only. Couch snuggling award goes to Lucy. Franklin, as wild as he is, is a more stable dog to bring someplace and have stay. Lucy is my guard dog, but also a momma's girl. So I guess Franklin qualifies as clown, good-time guy pal, active sport partner. Lucy is a semi-active sport partner at this point, and definitely a soulmate/bodyguard type. No clowning for her. She takes life seriously but lovingly. With those covered, do I need a cocktail party dog? Janet Boss http://bestfriendsdogobedience.com/ http://photos.yahoo.com/bestfriendsobedience |

I don't know. Do you? http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~mlchang/thethree.jpg One of the (huge, gigantic, stupendous) benefits to having three is that no one ever has to be alone anymore. I know - and agree. Now to get DH to agree (technically, with 2 cats, nobody is ever "alone"). Still, I want a 3rd dog, but a little more size. A NSDTR or Kooikerhondje (sp?). I'll probably get another FCR`when it is time though, hopefully from Sweden. Janet Boss http://bestfriendsdogobedience.com/ http://photos.yahoo.com/bestfriendsobedience |

I can't answer for Janet, but I know that in England Flat Coats are much more common than they are here, and also much healthier and longer lived. |

I have a very good friend who just returned to Sweden (and got a new FCR pup, her last was put down right before she came here a few years aog. He was 12). I want to visit her, visit where my grandfather lived (never met him) and get a puppy - what a great thing to remember Sweden by! Cancer is just not the problem it is here with the USA/CA lines, so that would be icing on the cake. Janet Boss http://bestfriendsdogobedience.com/ http://photos.yahoo.com/bestfriendsobedience |

"KWBrown" wrote in message . 4... You can take a dog into Starbuck's? Where do you live and can I come? nah, we sit outside, with all the other dog owners. the one closest to my house will send a barista outside to serve you, so you don't have to leave the dog outside. i love meeting all the dogs people bring to coffee shops. on the day my cat died, we stopped there and met the most adorable BC puppy. it helped a lot to get puppy kisses after a painful day. -kelly |

Related to that... yesterday, I brought the dogs back to work with me after lunch, because we were scheduled to have the gutters cleaned in the afternoon, and I didn't want Mam to have to deal with them. I forgot to switch on my cell alarm to remind me to go out at 3:30 (when the sun starts getting low) and turn on the heater... went out at 4, and Rocsi was looking chilly. So I brought her in & put her in the chair with me... at least four of my co-workers went by more than once, and never noticed she was there. G |
