I say this because of my twin Basset hounds Brandy and bourbon. Their sire Boregard is and always has been the sweetest dog I ever had.
Brandy, a Mahogany almost destroyed my $700 pair of glasses during the night. She has chewed up about 8 pair of cheap reading glasses that my wife leaves laying about. She steal anything she can to chew up. yesterday I found a fork in the grass and several times I have found my paring knives there all chewed up.
Bourbon is a tri-color and so handsome with his bourbon eyes and sleek build. He is a real lover as he loves to snuggle and give everyone kisses. But he is a Hitler too as he tries to dominate the rest of the pack and of a sudden will attack and draw blood. My little toy fox terrier is the favorite target at times and he even dominates Boregard who is at least 15 pounds heavier. Bourbon is neutered.
Between he and Brandy we have had to throw out all of our living room furniture and start anew. Bourbon now wears a muzzle when I am not around as he gets so upset even if i visit a neighbor and chews on furniture to show his displeasure.
I love them both, but they are rotten and spoiled. Anyone else have any pups this bad? Oh, and they have had all the toys they want, but prefer a stick or a chair. LOL
It could be worse, ralwus! You could have the rottenest three dogs like the ones my sister and her husband have!
1) Rottweiler w/ down syndrome, licking and lack of affection problem...Actually, he's the most lovable, but has seizures
2) American Eskimo w/ total eating disorder (known to eat wood chips, crap, dirt when really desperate), he barks a lot and is really annoying but smart, maybe too smart for his own good!
3) Pekingese who is not housebroken, is a spoiled brat, has bad breath (ack!), ugly (she looks like she got smacked in the face with the broad-side of a shovel, often diarrheas on the carpet (yuck).
Doesn't seem bad, but let them live with you before you make a judgment call!
It's at times like this when I'm glad I don't have a dog any more. ![]()

LOL that's funny! Haha My little toy terrier Khali is like that pikinese[hell can't spell the dam thing], bad breath and all. I had him house trained but then along came Bourbon and destroyed that. He is afraid to go outside alone with Hitler. LOL

Oh yer missin out on a lot of fun. I just have to keep a close eye on them and put stuff up out of their reach. Another problem though is when my parrot gets stuff and gives it to them and then laughs at me. LOL another rotten pet. LOL all spoiled rotten
I do miss having dogs, but I have a cat which is quite a handful at times. I also have wild birds like geese, francolins, and guinea fowl which give me a hard time, especially in the mornings when they want food, and I want sleep!
Ohhhhh dogs
I'll take yours guys. Life's just not the same without one. Or a feline assassin.
I don't have a dog, but maybe I should. Ralwus, I think this thread is an expression of how much you love your dogs. ![]()

Nope. There's a whole heap of abandoned hounds here. I don't have an apartment or home within which to keep one.
Two homeless mongrels don't a home make ![]()

And I'm guessing if t weren't for him you could even have space for a cute little dog.
Or would you take a cerberus instead?
We have two rotten Cocker Spaniels Daisy and Nazoo, our female Cocker gets irritated and pounces on our glass door until she gets attention!! We now have to replace the door due to her claw marks. People have said to use a spray bottle it does not work. Tell her no! It does not work and Nazoo thinks that every toy in the house belongs to him. He has dragged out DVD's, 2 Wei games and dumped them in the pool. They have self-destructed toiled paper when they sneak in the bathroom and drag it all over the house. Everybody thinks they are so angelic and we have to kennel them because they are like GREMLINS and would destroy everything. They have been to doggy discipline classes and they always say they are so well behaved but when they get home they have all of a sudden of ADDS (Attention Doggy Deficit Syndrome) and forget what they have learned. grrrrrrr I love them but Ralwus our dogs are as naughty as yours!! I believe ours are possessed and the only time they are good is when they are sleeping. LOLOLOLOLO
Lastly they snub there noses at there food unless they are promised a goody and they know what those are and when it comes to bath time , they give me the bath!! But we love them anyway. lolololo ![]()

Sounds like you live a dogs life too. LOL Aren't they just grand though? I did break then from chewing up the toilet paper. but they get any other paper and destroy it, mail, kleenex, hankies or anything in reach and I have lost count of the pens and pencils.
