We used to have to put a cake pan under my St. Bernard's mouth in the summer. It was pretty gross. On the other hand, when I was little, I had a dog I could ride.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

My sister watered her St. Bernard outside. It was the only way.

A dog you can use as a roving end table is useful.
Other than the drool, it's the non-retracting nails on dogs that I don't like. Cats have soft ends--when they're not annoyed with you--and they don't hurt--generally--when they jump in your lap. Even trimmed, dog claws hurt.

The status is NOT quo.
My big dogs don't drool much at all. We keep their nails trimmed, but honestly it would hurt if they attempted to jump in my lap just because of their size! I doubt I'd notice their nails. My cats, otoh, are in desperate need of a nail trim. Even retracted they hurt these days! Oh things I don't enjoy doing...trimming cat nails...

I am afraid to trim my dog's nails. The cats are a PITA, but I can do it.
I guess I should make a vet appt for Bailey since she's been with us like 3 mos now. I'll have them trim her nails. Poor dog also needs a bath.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, it just occured to me that 3-5 inches of snow overnight means I should probably bring boots to my parents' for wearing in the morning. That would have been awesome to forget.

I have the groomer grind the dogs' nails. I don't trust myself to do them either. They grow much more slowly than cat nails, thankfully.

The drool thing definitely is worse for some breeds than others, even among big dogs. I only deal with drool when Darby gets slathered at the park.
Darby gets her nails done at the vet. I'm not touching them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, it's definitely about how floppy the dog's lips are, not how big the dog is -- there are a ton of dry-mouthed big breeds. It's just that if it's big AND drooly, you have volume issues.
