How much dog do you have?

    • Gold Top Dog
    Joey tips the scales at a whopping 38 pounds.  But I tell you, when you get those 38lbs coming at you full speed, and then his pointy little feet jabbing into your stomache, 38 can feel like a Mac truck

    Jen, I LOVE your signature!!!!

    I have this rule about dogs... I'm not allowed to have a dog that I cannot carry, in an emergency. That rules out anything over 100 pounds. On a normal day, I can carry a 100 pound, cooperative dog, or a 70 pound struggling dog. If the dog was mine, it'd learn to be carried. I've had to carry Emma lots of times, as she's accident prone. I decided to have this rule after I got her. I think it's a good idea for everybody to have a plan to move their dogs if they're injured or ill (obviously, Karen isn't going to be carrying Shaq under her arm:).

    Yeah, but you know I would try! [;)]
     
     I confess, I really do worry about this. I think that DH and I could roll Shaq onto a blanket, and carry him together if we had too! I do know that DH can pick Marley up!! He tried it last month, because he was curious to see what she would do. DH picked her up like a baby lamb, and she did not even act surprised. Just sat in his arms like "Look at me, I am a princess!!

    Boss is about 65 pounds and I would guess Gracie at about 20 or so, and gaining
     
    don't let me get started on those fat cats.. all 7 of them
    • Gold Top Dog
    I think about stuff like that a lot. I like it that I can easily carry both of my dogs, even if they're struggling. I *really* want a "big" dog next (a standard poodle or doberman) and I sit and think about what if I can't move the dog, what if this, what if that. I think WAY too much.

    Wow!  You've only got two, and you've nearly got as much dog as I do, lol!!
    • Puppy
    Sheba weighs 85 lbs. and Chunky monkey Rocky weighs in at 118 lbs.
    Total: 203
    • Gold Top Dog
    You and Glenda still have me beat, but at least when I take mine for a walk they can only go in two different directions! [;)]
    • Gold Top Dog
    Gypsy weighs 45 lbs.

    The cats?
    Harvey is about 5 lbs; Bandit is 18.

    The Guinea pigs are about 2 lbs each.

    So, I'd guess we're at about 78 lbs, give or take a pound.

    • Gold Top Dog
    I never walk more than 2 at a time, even with someone with me.  Two are wonderfully well behaved, three turns into a pack and they are rotten.....
