<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had to laugh at Kacy's post and ask myself "how
many times have I thought this very same thought since I started working at
doggie daycare" Don't get me wrong, I love all dogs especially hounds and
larger dogs. I will admit that I am not to found of the little yippy or lap
dogs...just me but it seems the smaller the dog the more like a rat or mop it is
and not a dog.Ohhh and the little dog with big dog syndrome!!! WTH? I
apologize to any little dog owners no offense intended...just my
view. Anyway after I have worked my 5 hours at daycare I come home and just
hug my boyz and tell them that compard to most they are perfect little
angels. We have a lot of Labs & Retrievers at Daycare: Just try to
fill up a water bowl around them...dare you. If you are lucky it last five
minutes before one of the labs or retrievers are in in and splashing all of the
water out of the bowl. The young boxers and rottie try to intimidate the
others at daycare and will even bully some of the less stronger personality
dogs. The older boxers want a 5 foot personal zone and will fight for to keep
it. We have a corgie that trys to herd the incoming and outgoing dogs by nipping
ankles and another cattle dog that wants to herd all the playing dogs by barking
in their faces. We have a couple of English Bulldogs that have OCD....one
is obcessed with been sprayed with the water hose and a big red plastic
ball. She has even jumped up and mouth grabbed my hand for the water
house. Plus I think that that she would go through glass or a screen door
to get to the ball. We also have a great dane that comes and she is a good
dog but is just so unaware of anything below her nose. She is just a big goofy
girl. Rambo the dane mix that i sometimes baby sit for is the same
way. He minds very well but just wants to literally be under someones hand
all of the time. Kind of annoying at 5:15 am when you just get out of bed
and are in that give me a moment to wake up mode. Rambo also ran through a
sliding screen door becasue I said outside...he just went...right on through the
screen like it wasn't even there. Funny thing is that our 2 beagles that come to
daycare are two of our best dogs. Baxter just wants to run and play with
everyone, and Ms. Bea just wants pets but will wait patiently for you to give
them to her...she is an older beagle though. The two bassets that come to our
daycare just want to come out sniff the yard, go in get their baths and go
home...unless someone is petting them...They are 2 brothers out of the same
litter about 4yrs old and you do not seperate the brothers (just like my
two)...They will just bark and bay and howl. So for your ears sake, do not
seperate the basset brothers. I imagine it would be the same with my two as
well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Even though I love all dogs, I don't think that I
would own or be owned by any other breed other than a basset.</FONT></DIV>
