I try hard and I think I fake it pretty good, but I just don't get how people get dressed and walk their dogs way early in the morning in crazy weather and pay people to walk them while they are at work. We have a cat, and I think she is too much trouble.Lipstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346441046070223404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037044840061888259.post-31521302685414745132008-07-19T18:32:00.000-07:002008-07-19T18:32:00.000-07:00Hey Tena,Just say no.

Very funny!! :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am WAY more of a cat person than a dog person, but I fell in love with a puppy at first site last year, and voila, now we have a 1-year-old spastic, energetic puppy in our house! He is really good though. My 3-year-old especially loves him!! They have quite a special bond; any time I'm annoyed by him and consider giving him to another family, I see my son giving him a hug and realize I can't do it. They do grow on you...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, ours is a Cockapoo, and he doesn't shed, he's really cute, and small. Bichons are nice too; they're even smaller than cockapoos. Obviously you have to do what's best for you... I'm still looking for the perfect cat to fit into our chaotic home (maybe I'm a glutton for punishment??)~Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886587879469939194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037044840061888259.post-54505328152907997072008-07-19T14:21:00.000-07:002008-07-19T14:21:00.000-07:00Just found your blog ... and glad I did :)I love d...Just found your blog ... and glad I did :)<BR/><BR/>I love dogs and used to walk them for a living. If you're looking for non-alergetic you should consider the Portuguese water dog. They're not tiny but they are a great family dog. And he females are a bit smaller. <BR/><BR/>If you look them up on the web ignore the stupid hair cuts some people give them ! lol. They're much cuter when they're kind of 'moppy' looking.MYMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679094659957098225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037044840061888259.post-229308891074061152008-07-18T07:47:00.000-07:002008-07-18T07:47:00.000-07:00Um I am a dog lover.

Weenie dogs are great too but mine never shuts up. If you want a dog that doesn't shed try a poodle. They don't shed at all. And they don't have to get that goofy haircut they have on TV. Unless you just wanna laugh at your dog.

It seems to me that if I'm going to put that much work into training and cleaning-up after and feeding, it might as well be a kid.

I just hate dogs that are rude. I do know a PERFECT dog for you; it's called a "cavapoo," which is a cross between Cavalier King James Spaniel and a poodle. My friend has one and her family members have two others. Each are alike; small, no shedding, no barking, love to fetch and to swim, easily potty trained, and they like to CUDDLE! If you pick them up, they will lay their heads on your shoulder and snuggle into your neck; EACH of them. I would highly recommend this dog.Mrs4444https://www.blogger.com/profile/06426176094895489541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037044840061888259.post-73399629073991560092008-07-17T18:43:00.000-07:002008-07-17T18:43:00.000-07:00Hey Tena,You should start a 12 step program.

I own a dog - a large dog too - and I promise not to take offense to your hatred. :) I love my dog to pieces, but I don't love everyone else's. <BR/><BR/>As you know, dogs are HUGE responsibilities... I only say this because I bleed money every time we leave the house... whether it's boarding the dog to go out of town, or asking someone to come by and either walk or feed her so she doesn't "crap" up the house... sometimes literally. <BR/><BR/>Some dogs that may, and I only say may fit your criteria are... Bijon, Cockapoo, or a new breed called a Labradoodle. My in-laws have a Labradoodle - and they can come in all sizes. No shedding, great temperment, perfect for kids. <BR/><BR/>May I just suggest a fish - they're a hell of a lot easier - and when you overfeed them and they die, you can simply flush them and buy another. Think of the cost savings!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493268452074516009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037044840061888259.post-78814893720237839592008-07-17T14:25:00.000-07:002008-07-17T14:25:00.000-07:00I completely understand and felt the same way abou...I completely understand and felt the same way about everything. We got a dog 2 years ago after the kids asking and asking. We rescued one and I am so glad we did because he is such a easy dog. He stopped someone from breaking into my car and is protective of the house and SUPER GREAT with the kids. Only down side with him is the little dust hairballs I find in the corners. But I can live with that when I see the kids laying and playing with him. My dog is chow/lab mix and is about 30 lbs full grown.Amy Amy Bo Bameyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802405717161236476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037044840061888259.post-54513241807302427532008-07-17T13:30:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:30:00.000-07:00I'm also a dog LOATHER.

They are expensive dogs (Shitzu's) but worth looking into. A well bred Shitzu can be quiet and very nice. They have hair instead of fur so they don't shed and they are tiny and regal. JMO, but if you have to break down and get the kids a dog - I vote Shitzu. Too cute really.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155573683156918326noreply@blogger.com
