Now I've always known that but with having 3 dogs at my home I will tell you that they all shed differently and never at the same time! In my house my chocolate lab sheds the least, my son's Llewellyn Setter is next in line and my yellow lab definately outsheds any dog I have ever met. She cannot even move without hair falling off her and I swear sometimes it jumps off of her onto the closest person especially if they are wearing black. That being said I still wouldn't trade them for anything!
Next if anyone thinks dogs are stupid think again...when is the last time you had someone walk around behind you picking up your shit!?!?!? Has your signifigant other ever gotten out of a warm bed to take you outside in the middle of a storm???? They get served 3 meals a day and never have to go to the grocery store, someone brushes their hair for them and they even have us trained to rub their bellies and scratch their ears. All they have to do to get their favorite snack is sit down or look cute!
I have learned many lessons from my dogs, first no two dogs are alike and you always think your dogs are better than anyone elses. Now you would think because I have taught my 2 dogs to come when they want to (lol you thought I was going to come when called) that I would be able to do the same with my son's or my daughter's not so. Duke is a bird dog therefore birds out rank any human and if they call he will go as fast as he can to them in the opposite direction of where you want him to. Secondly being smaller means he can be a lot sneakier, and if you turn your back on him your food it is fair game. Now I mentioned my daughter's dogs and speaking of turning your back on them these 2 decided the night I was dog sitting that it would be a good idea to bolt out the door which I thought was closed and play in the pouring rain for most of the night for one who my son tackled when the dog stopped long enough to pee and the other for the entire night. For some reason she doesn't ask me to babysit oops I mean dog sit very often.
Now today's lesson was when dogs are napping and being quiet they do not want you to load the dishwasher. I made that mistake and Duke decided that he would eliminate some of my dishes so I wouldn't disturb his sleep again. As I was loading the dishwasher and Duke was standing there watching me the bottom rack of the dishwasher jumped out and grabbed him by the throat, he immediately backed up at break neck speed pulling the rack with him dirty dishes flying randomly out of it to break in different places across the floor, now thankfully the kitchen chair saw what was happening and jumped on top of the rack knocking the few dishes that were left out of the rack so that it would release Duke. Now this all took about 10 seconds but it totally freaked him out. He waited until I had made sure he wasn't hurt and I had cleaned up all of the glass then he tried to climb into my arms to be snuggled. Who could be upset with those floppy ears and big brown eyes and the pasta bowls can be replace much easier than he could. But I have learned my lesson for the day, the dogs are napping again and I am staying put so as to keep the rest of my house intack.
