Doc,
Six dogs, no wonder you have so much land!
When I was growing up we always has cats, and I love cats. But about three years ago my wife got a Corgi and I never knew what great fun dogs could be!
Toby loves other dog so much that now he have two. What fun, never a dull moment!

I love dogs, and plan on adopting one when our youngest is a little more self-sufficient.
Had a mutt when I was little (it was old by the time I was born, and passed on when I was three), and a Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab mix when I was 13 (she passed on when I was 30). She was a runner and didn't slow down until she hit 13. I would come home from college and walk her 3 times a day, including what amounted to a 2+ hour/2 mile walk usually around 1:00AM. The vet was amazed at her health during her mid years.
My wife used to love cats, and we are on our third now - he's about to turn two. The kids really love him, but they are really wanting a dog these days.

Dogs are great companions. We have 2 mutts - both adopted because they needed homes bad. IMO that's the only way to get a dog.
One is a brindle 14 year old pitt-lab mix that we got when she was about 5 months old - the shelter that had her named her Bridey. She had been stolen out of someone's yard because she was severely neglected and tied to a tree. She had mange, whipworm, and a BB in her leg. She is one of the greatest dogs I have every had.
The other is some sort of a little poodle-terrier mix, about 12.5 years old. We picked him literally 1 week before we moved from southern CA. We were at the dog park with Bridey and someone dropped this dog off because they found him wandering without any ID and in sorry shape, and figured someone there would do something with him I guess. Well, my wife did something with him and brought him home. He was scared, of course, and we ended up having to take him to the emergency vet for a $200 visit because his ears so bad. We then had him cleaned up and feeling a little more comfortable with us, my wife named him Simon, and we decided to take him with us to Oregon. He sleeps right next to me every night.

Glad you posted that. My cat Pudge is twelve, will sit and give you her paw, and takes pills (with some encouragement) My godson's cat plays fetch for an hour at a time and when you try to stop, bugs you for more. I love dogs and have had some great ones, but cats are also very bright, trainable, and affectionate. There is a reason God gave us both of them, I think.
okay, that is kind of a strange coincidence....I have a terrier mix (some Parsons Russell in him) named "Gromit". Show some pictures Jason!
Here you go (at about 6 months old here), Brown and white is Gromit; Black, Brown and White is Wallace:

I love dogs, hot with mustard and onions.........
Only kidding
We had an Old English Sheep dog who was a total clown. We were so upset when he died we haven't replaced him, but will get another two smaller dogs when we stop travelling.

This is one of our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks enjoying an ostrich shin bone while on guard duty outside my garage.

Here is our black lab mix, Jack, enjoying the track at Sebring.
He's a great guy, very intelligent, and always alert. Perfect with kids, but won't be dominated by other dogs...
