Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'd say German shepherds are the best dogs for home defense. They can be trained so that they attack someone firing a gunshot off rather than flinching and running.
The cat is now sprawled on the coffee table, watching puppies wrestle.
Heh. Puppy Bowl has apprently entered the Fluffball quarter. Cute!
Ooooh, puppies!
Tailgating puppies?
Lab Retrievers are also good: big enough to protect you AND unlikely to bite the mail carrier.
I remember lots of snow in MO winters in the 70's. Granted, I was young, but I remember being at eye-level with the thrown-out ashes from the fireplace.
I also remember my dad and the neighbor saddling up the horses, bundling up and riding to the grocery store 8 miles away because no one could get a vehicle to us. (We lived in the sticks. But horse riding to the store was NOT the norm.)
More than half of the pound dogs in this area are pit bull (AmStaff) mixes, and yes I know many are great dogs, but no, I'm not going there.
My perfect dog would be a sweet black shepherd/lab mix bitch, with those radar ears and not too much energy. But that's pretty specific, and I have a friend in the greyhound community who can set me up if I want one.
Get a greyhound! They're the sweetest dogs. They're so grateful and humble and beautiful.
Well, yeah, I'm just not sure about the whole "Hey, don't break into that house, that lady has a greyhound" issue.
