Beagles and beagle mixes are good with young ones usually. Enough energy to keep up with the kids.

And very easy going

Looking for a lab pup, eventually.

They can be stubborn

Labs are my favorite

Sooth nods at stubborn

Lego (the current mix) is smart. And well-trained. And obedient. INSIDE.

Oh, well, yeah, all rules are off outside, taht's where the smells are.

...outside, there are smells.

Sometimes new people bring smells inside.

Yes, but also walls. Limits.

The scary thing is when the fascinating smell (or squirrel!) is on the other side of the busy street....

Yup. Cars? What are those?

yes

Yep.

I think I may eventually want to try a Boston Terrier

they're cute

but BIG terrier personalities and I think a lot have breathing issues

I thought their breathing might be better than true flat faces like pugs or Bulldogs

mmm

Shocker, I want a Shibe.

nay!

better than pugs, yes!

I like English Bulldogs temperment wise, but boy did our eugenics program mess those poor guys up.

I briefly flirted with the idea of a Scottie...but I think if I ever get another dog, it's going to be canine du jour from the pound.

Preferably of the big, thumpable dog variety.

Mutts!

Best dog I ever had was.... Brown.

Yorick was brown.

At least three different coat types, between rouch lab/beagle coat, a lion ruff, and fluffy tail....

Mutts are nature's way of saying 'what, you don't like surprises? Sure you like em...look at that face' 🙂

aw

They tend to be a LOT healthier than purebreeds, in my experience.

true

omg cat. what do you want.

I am trapped.

chuckle Yup. Cats are harsh taskmasters. Especially since they're seldom clear about the task, other than "shut up and pet me."

true

uhg. why is it so humid?

And even then it can be "Shut up and pet me THREE TIMES STOP NO DIE!!!"

also true

Yeah, Cats are a mixed bag for me. Housemate's daughter got one that wans't properly socialized. She used to attack nt to swat, but draw blood randomly. I don't mean when you petted her. I mean when you were half a room away.

Ouch.

Was not the housemate's daughter's fault, I don't think. I think she was just taken too young and maybe even abused before she got her

But man I hated that little cat

beezer is skittish, but very sweet

she does sometimes scratch when spooked - she'll LAUNCH, and there are claws

I have a range from VERY derpy cat to devilishly clever... but I am 100% on team derpy. She's the best cat in the world.
