My dogs snort and sneeze and snore. And Pekes are considered a regal breed!

Ha ha, I was talking to the wife about what sort of dog I'll get when my Kelpie turns up her paws Larry, and we both agreed that she (the Kelpie, not the wife) is an ideal size for our yard, and an excellent temperament. I'd rather a stealthy dog than a noisemaker. Noisy dogs are like car alarms, no-one pays any attention to them, they're just annoying. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I'd get a pup now, one the old dog will make the new one more comfortable, and two, those desirable traits will be taught to the youngin'

I've thought about that, we got Sally (the Kelpie) about a year before Ben (German Sheherd/Kelpie cross) died, and I think she was good company for him, but old Sally's pretty unsteady on her feet now, so I worry about a boisterous puppy unintentionally hurting her? I'll think some more about it though, it's a good suggestion, thanks. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Saturday morning a lady at our regular breakfast hangout was holding a dog. The waitress said she had a tag hanging around her neck that said it is a service dog, she has anxiety attacks if she can't have her dog with her.
 Sorry, but go to a drive up. Jeeez. I do have a dog. I don't want him sitting at the table.

Agreed some people push the tolerance boundaries, 'cos 'their more important' than you 'cos they have an imagined disability. Fill-in a form and get a licence to be an as*hole.... bring yer dog where it doesn't belong and , hey, use your grandma's handicapped hanger and park in the H/C space... see it all the time by folks with their full physical capabilities.... makes me mad and sad  :(
