Is that a chocolate lab, or a hound? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Having a dog in bed with you is one of the biggest pleasures of life. He's always there when you need a buddy, when you need reassurance that a friend is there. Dogs give and receive affection with no reservation, no strings. They freely give it and freely take it, without thought or judgement. Unlike women. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Redbone Coonhound. It's the first thing I saw that rung that bell inside me, except for a particular cat breed (Savannah) that I saw some months ago (and could never afford).
Again, different strokes. I've never had a house dog. Mine only came inside when it was cold, and was restricted to the kitchen area only. In my bed? No way. I prefer sleeping alone. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I have never met one but of course the "redbone" name is famous. I wonder if they "bay" or howl all the time, as basset hounds are known to do? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

That was me until I got this dog. For the first couple weeks I had him, he was miserable sleeping alone so I let him sleep on my bed. OMG, I had no idea what I'd been missing all my life. The connection you form with a dog when you share all aspects of your life with him is unreal. He loves the bed and I love him here with me. We eat, sleep, do everything together. I'm closer to him than any other creature. I think about losing him every day. It's even worse when they lose you. I saw a dog/master reunion on TV the other day. The dog was stolen and found six months later. In the video the dog went bananas at the reunion. Jumping 3 feet in the air constantly and yipping and trying to kiss the guy on his face. The amount of love and devotion they have for us can never be matched by any other creature. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You treat family that way?
Well, yes. The dog has her own bed. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Smaller dogs can sleep with you, it means an awful lot to them. And to you, if you let it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I certainly am, though it's a long shot. With an interview on Tuesday, a paycheck is, best case, a few weeks away. Then scheduling, finance check, making sure everything is in order to provide... I have a feeling a girl like that is gonna get snatched up quick. We'll see.
Family or friend. If you're rolling around the dirt all day, you're more than welcome in my group and into my home. But clothes and shoes get left at the door. If you are unwilling or unable, you stay in the kitchen. Pops and fishing buddy Jonny L don't mind, so I've no qualms about the dog. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |
