Ghoulie August Assatar Challenge- Run or else (Page 54)

Helllllooooooo Ghoulies! How is everyone today?

Yeah, we are really enjoying her.  She is the one that just showed up in our yard (garage actually) when she was about 2 mos. old.  Somebody must have dumped her at the local park.  Stupid people.  But we are grateful to have her!

WOOHOO!!!

Nice job, Dee!

Hi TOM!!!   How's your temporary retirement?

TOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

I have an itch that needs scratched if you're not doing anything else.

That was YOU with the binoculars???

I thought a telescope would be too conspicuous

Can't complain. I haven't been able to work out as much as I would like but I've been moderately productive otherwise so I'm happy

Good point. Don't want to freak out the neighbors.

x2! You girls are making me want a dog REALLY badly.

Great Danes are good dogs. They sleep a lot and are good with kids.

DW and I have talked about getting 2 Mastiffs some day, so I'm down with big dogs. Just not in our current, relatively small abode.

We saw 2 Mastiffs at the pet store over the weekend. They were barrels with legs. HUGE!

Big dogs are great! Although medium ones are beginning to look like a better option if I get one here in CA. Not exactly an abundance of extra space around here.

We tend to go with lab sized dogs.  Though I have had small dogs too when I was a kid.

My husband always said he didn't want a small dog.  Peanut has changed his mind, though! 

He is totally nutty over her!  LOL

From what I've read as long as you take them for about a 30 minute walk a day, Great Danes are fine in apartments and town houses. If they are indoors they spend the majority of their time sleeping.

I have nothing against anything from a medium size dog on up. It's the little yappers that I don't like.

I love my lab, but she is so high strung. She should calm down about the same time Milo does. If I make it through the next 2 years I should have a quieter house.

How big is Peanut supposed to get? I think 15-20 pounds is about is small as I'd go, but I'd consider smaller if it was mild mannered. Chihuauas and dogs of that size tend to drive me batty.

Oh god - my mother-in-law has a mini-schnauzer that is so high strung it drives me bonkers.  I don't know how they live with all the darned barking it does.

Then again, I'm the only one it listens to, including it's owner, so that amuses me.  Nothing like driving my in-laws nuts by calling the dog over, having her get all submissive in front of me and then watching her proceed to ignore them when they try.  HA!

I'm a decided big dog fan but my little 5-foot tall wife had bad experiences when she was younger.  We're in an apartment at the moment but whenever we talk someday, we go back and forth a bit.  I may have gotten her up into the 30-40 lb range now, if it's the right kind of dog.  She doesn't even care about breeds really, she just wants it to be "cute and scruffy looking."

Hey all. I am baaaaack.

HI TOM!!!

Just for the record, she would totally steal Peanut in a HEARTBEAT! 

Welcome back! 

My brief stopover is nearly done before I head out for lunch and then to an afternoon of meetings.  Booooo!

ROBIN!

Best of luck and have a safe trip home!
