I was half joking earlier, but the more I thought about it, the more I really do want a dog again. Trying to decide what sort of dog I want. I've always had large to medium sized dogs - Irish Setter, Keeshond, Great Dane, Rottweiller, American Bulldog, etc.

Here's the thing though, I haven't got a big backyard as such. Most of it is full of swimming pool with only a small strip of grass on the side of the house so a big dog is out. I'd like something that will do well inside and isn't a "high activity" dog as I am gone during the day at work. Suggestions?

I have only had mixed breeds and have found all of them easy to handle, eager to learn, long living and free of inherited illnesses. I have two mixes between large poodles and Labradors now, lovely dogs.

Being addicted to the FL :p

Seriously, I have no idea...... I'm busy all day and I'm posting less.... wait... that's a scary thought! What was my score when I wasn't as busy?? :eeek:

I remember the one time I was on a list and I thought either everybody is really busy or I have gotten very obsessed. lol!

I'm scared of heights and I have a tendency to hurk on roller coasters and things that spin.... so yeah.... not gonna happen.

Everytime I keep telling myself that I am not going on a ride, I end up going on it anyways the next time I am there. lol It was only until this year, I finally went on Splash Mountain at Disneyland.

I still have a hard time believing that I went on the roller coaster in Las Vegas (the one near the New York, New York casino). I don't know what I was thinking at the time. Although it's kind of funny. I don't think I could make myself to do that again. :D

I hate it when I have last regrets while I am on the ride! I already want to get off, but I am strapped in! lol

Oh now see.... I was going to put out a bowl of puppy chow and try to pet them and the Javelinas :p

:rofl:

When I went to Arizona with my parents several years ago, we saw the javelinas walking around. I wanted to take a picture of them and they started walking away. My mom suggested just getting out of the car and following them to take my picture. She says," They're harmless." I didn't follow my mother's suggestion thank goodness. I found some more javelinas down the road and took a picture of them through the car window. Later we were talking to a ranger about them and the guy told us that they were quite aggressive animals. I think he nearly fainted at the idea my mom even suggested! lol lol lol This story has sort of become the running joke in my family. Every time I hear about javelinas I always think of this. :D

Javelinas have those tusks and teeth for a reason. They look best mounted on a wall---they're safer to look at close up that way. :p

I love my dog, but don't get a chihuahua. They are extremely needy and need a lot of care like a toddler.

I suggest a black lab. They are lazy after the puppy stage and sweet :)
