I always thought min pins were pretty cool little dogs. "You should find dynamite in a small package or something is wrong," according to a pamphlet from the Miniature Pinscher Club of America. Let us know how the meeting goes.
There is someone right down the road from us who owns two minipins - my b's get along just great with those dogs, so AJ probably will be happy with a new playmate!
@Kipawa:
Sounds like you will be really busy later this summer/fall. I have seen pictures of the boats that people live on in the Netherlands - it looks like quite an interesting lifestyle. I assume your basenjis are fine with it. Good luck in finding your special cat.
:) There are two types of living on a boat :)
People that live on a boat that can't sail anymore. (they put it in a harbor and live there)
We live on a ship (we can't call it a boat :cool: ) that sails every day.
We load our ship with material (like corn or coils of steel) and sail untill we are at the place to unload.
We load the same weight that 40/45 trucks can load ;)
It's a weird lifestyle, every night we walk the doggies on a different spot and every day they meet new dogs and people.. And we are always at home with them.. that's a great thing!
What a wonderful Christmas story. I am so glad he came home and was OK, I can only imagine how awful your friend must have felt, thinking he was lost, injured and freezing. Nice to hear a really great happy ending.
@LeeL:
If you do go back to hardwood. I would recommend staying with Oak. We had oak floors in our last house and have Hickory now and the Oak was much better at resisting denting. You can see a few places after 18 months where the claw marks made a dent in the surface. I never saw that in 5 years of Oak.
We have oak and it is standing up beautifully with three dogs {and Gypsy is fairly heavy} and all the kids {who are forever dragging their dining chairs across the floor despite dh's constant harping to 'lift, lift, lift" }
The only dent is from where dh dropped the stereo when he was putting the room back together immediately after installing the floor :D
I love it. It's tougher than we were told it would be and so easy to clean.
