Big dogs in the house

Colton on My Blog - Mon, June 18 2007

Why is everbody mom talks to sooo suprised that they have 4 big dogs in the house??!! Apparently it okay to have 4 or more little dogs in the house, but not big ones.We actually consider the girls to be "medium" sized, they are only 60 pounds, but I guess everyone else considers them "big". When people find out that I have 3 large siblings the first thing they ask "in the house?" Now granted, our stuff takes up 2 of the 4 bedrooms in our large house, but that is just becuase we don't have human siblings yet. We can always move our crates to the basement, I'm pushing for that now it's much cooler down there.Why would we NOT be in the house? Yes, we have a couple of acres of land in the country, but we are INSIDE dogs!The next question people ALWAYS ask mom is "what are you going to do when you have a baby"? Mom always thinks, what kind of question is that??!! Her answer is "we will have 4 big dogs and a baby", what's so wierd about that? Both mom and dad grew up with multiple dogs, so they don't think the whole baby/dog thing is any big deal.Does anybody else with siblings get these kinds of questions?

My mom thinks it would be fun to have big dogs in the house. Dad thinks big dog=big poop. And the bigger the dog...

Me and my sis don't think it is strange, we have four boxer cousins that live in the house and when we go to visit we make it six. Although there are three females out of the bunch that don't get along, so we have three sets of dogs in the house. It is pretty chaotic but we wouldn't have it any other way!!

We get the same thing. Only there are two of us and our sister cat. And people ask the same about a baby. Mommy says well when its all said and done we'll have 2 dogs a cat and 3 kids. How about that? They dont say anything else after.Although they dont even have 1 kid now.

We are house dogs. I'm a pretty good size girl - I weigh 127 pounds. Binxie weighs around 85 pounds. Granted there are just the two of us but we live with our four feline sisters and brothers - oh and of course mom. Absolutely nothing wrong with having big dogs in the house.
