She could! She might just need to meet a friendly one.
The "street rats" (small and white and nasty little dogs) that live on the corner have charged both us, in to my yard, snapping and growling. Owner acted like it was DD's fault. Left a bad taste in her mouth I should think; has mine.

You are far nicer than I. I'd have called animal control so quickly that the owner's head would have been spinning.
Elizabeth (no patience for irresponsible owners)
On the second day, the judges switch so that the one who designed the standard course does the jumpers course and vice versa, so yes, different course. Jumpers course was set up so that you were pretty much forced to cross behind your dog in three different places (although my friend with the light colored Terv managed to cross in front all those places and win the course) and Cash took a bar down when I crossed behind him too abruptly (he turned to see where I went and let a rear paw dangle). Weird thing about Harry these days is that once he gets the weaves started, he blasts right through them. We will be working on helping him find the correct entry.
Friend of mine who runs a dog at 20 inches pointed out that they use the same table for 16" and for 20". So the dogs jumping 16" or 24" (higher table) lose some momentum by jumping up to the table, but the 20" dogs jump horizontal with no loss of momentum and thus are more likely to skitter across and right off. Not really fair, that.
Harry likes her fine. Cash is just a little weird with everybody except me and DWH. Too bad, that.
Forget hocky - she needs a dog to run agility with. *grin*
He's good with kids, usually. Just doesn't want any of his own.

I didn't call, but I know several people did because the owners had already been warned about not cleaning up after their animals.
And I saw the AC van there last week.
Cheryl
He's still young though!
And I need another hungry mouth to feed? Hockey fees might be cheaper in the long run! LOL
She can charm most males except her big brother.
I'll bet DD would have him eating out her hand in no time! Cheryl
yeahbut, Lucille, Cheryl and I were talking about my DH! LOL!
Elizabeth (picturing my 6'5" DH under the bed)
So come on down and check him out. He really is cute and loves to romp and run.

I missed that, but my dog is my DH so I guess it's ok. That's what I get for being in a hurry. lol
Oh good, you had me worried! We had thought of getting a dachsie recently, but the info from breeders and vets about discouraging them from jumping put us off. Our "Waggymuffin" always jumps up on the sofa (and on our bed in the mornings) and it just wouldn`t be fair to either of them either to stop the dachsie if Maggie was still allowed to jump up, or to stop Maggie, who has done so for four years. (Doesn`t seem possible we`ve had her for nearly four years- I remember announcing her arrival on here and it seems like only yesterday).
I know that our first Cavalier strained her back by jumping up too high.
I do feel sorry for Dachsies when it snows, don`t you?

Would he even fit under a bed? ROTFLMAO!

Dear hound?

That depends. Some of those old-fashioned beds where you needed a stepladder to get into them, he might fit quite nicely.
I'm confused - are you referring to your dog or your husband?
Well, since I'm a widow, you figure it out !! ;~)))
All it takes to fit under a bed is motivation....DH told me about when he was in Viet Nam, and the base was hit for the first time. He fully realized that people he didn't even know were trying to kill him -- and rolled off his top bunk slap to the floor and stuffed himself under the bottom bunk, which space was already occupied by the regular occupant of the bottom bunk. And you know what -- they fit.
As I say, motivation...

He'd fit under a newer bed too. He's quite skinny. Thing is, his feet or his head would have to hang out because he's also quite long.
Elizabeth
Diagonal.....
I had to laugh when Carolyn came over to see me last year, with her daughter and grand daughter, who`s mad on dogs. Our exceedingly laid-back cavalier was a great disappointment I think. Carolyn`s grandaughter said "Why does Maggie act so OLD!" Maggie only actually runs if, when she`s out with John, I go to meet them and call her - when she takes off like a bat out of hell, ears flying!
I fully expect her to try to accompany me, rifding on my mobility scooter when it arrives.
As a matter of fact, there is an elderly couple near here who, when walking their dogs, take turns on the scooter. He rides it one way and she rides it back.
Only yesterday we spotted another elderly couple, on identical red scooters, actually having a race!
