Her post made me want to scream and punch her and take her dog because I'd totally love him, he's even housebroken!

As I mentioned in that thread yesterday, even my 9 year-old (who, as a group are not known for their taste in decorating), would hate that kitchen.

I know you're all hating on that kitchen, but there's this fabulous little drag queen inside of me who's dying to have a whole obnoxious house like that.

If we weren't willing to adjust some things and make these sacrifices, we wouldn't have adopted our pup.

I'm in the same boat since we took on dog #3 (a puppy) and of course we have days when we are like holy cow our house is MASS PAW CHAOS but I would never return any of them like an unwanted piece of clothing.

We did the same thing when we got our pup. H went home everyday for 8 months to take him out. People just don't understand what it takes to care for a dog.

Posted by Belle2Be[/QUOTE]

I thought that to because I feel bad for the dog and I want it to be with people who looooooooove him/her. This poster is the reason that animals are abandoned at shelters or given up. People DO NOT think about all the responsibilities that come with a pet. I mean her husband is a med student who is never home and they plan to do a lot of traveling. Did she not fill out an adoption application? Because they specifically ask you questions about future traveling & work schedule. I guess 5 days AFTER she filled out the application, got the dog and THEN she realized that a dog doesn't fit into her life? I just think she is a moron and I hate people like her with every bone in my body.

I have four too, and hardwood floors, and getting a Roomba changed my life. I'm not kidding. The Roomba runs every day and there is zero dog hair on my floors now, ever. I do have to clean the Roomba out like every two days though.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : Oz has reddish hair and we have medium tone parquay floor. Last week around 5ish we opened the front door and it let the light come in at just an angle that revealed alllllll of the hair everywhere. He's shedding a bunch because he's getting his winter coat now. I gasped in amazement/embarrasment and quickly pulled out the shop vac!!! :) I couldn't believe how much was everywhere. I decided that I need to clean at that time of day from now on!

My dog is husky/sheppard/lab mix and sheds EVERYWHERE lol, we have a phrase that "dog fur is a condiment in our house" It doesn't matter how often I vacuum or swiffer, his fur is always flying around.

Actually, I have no idea. FI bought it. It's not the cheapest one, but I don't think it's the most expensive one either. I've heard that the cheapest model doesn't work all that well, but like I said, I don't even know which one we have, so take that with a grain of salt.

I want a great dane.
All I need is a bigger house, and double my paycheck to feed her.

She will be grayish, her name will be Gypsy, and she will ride in the Jeep with me in the passenger seat.

Nothing wrong with dreaming, right?

laurenclaire1386 · October 2010

Actually, Great Danes do well in small houses. I've heard they make excellent apartment dogs.

I can't see a dog that large being happy with no room to run and play. But I could be wrong. I haven't read up a lot on the breed, and that's something I plan on doing before getting one.

It's not to say that they don't need exercise, because they certainly do. It's just that they're mostly inactive indoors. I've never owned a Great Dane, but I wanted one for a while, so I did some research. Anyway, they're supposedly completely fine in an apartment all day, so long as you take them on long walks. Or have a bigger fenced yard.

emilyinchile · October 2010

Yup, my friend lives in an apartment, and her neighbor has a Great Dane. They're big, but they're not high-energy. I mean, if you live in a studio, you probably don't physically have room for one, but if you live in a normal-sized apartment and are just worried about exercise, it could be doable.

I ended up coming across the boxer/bull mastiff first. I'd found a good breeder and I was saving the money for it, then one of my irresponsible coworkers' dogs got knocked up and she was giving away the puppies, so I took one.
