Remember, no matter how much you love your pet, they love you more.
Oh, and before I forget, "keep off my lawn"! 😉🤭
I can attest to that. In the last couple years we have had two Rotties, three bulldogs, two goldendoodles, a few pure beagles, a basset hound--there's more, I just can't remember--in the few years I have been walking dogs at the Sumter Humane Society.

After our two Goldens, the last of which had many breed-specific problems, we turned to rescues. Get a mixed breed, they said! They'll be healthier, they said! Not so fast. So far the first one (lab+++ mix) died of cancer, the second (beagle mix) one has gird and a very sensitive stomach that's difficult to pin down, and the third one (Eskimo mix) has a neurological problem we're working on. The last two have 13 and 18 breeds mixed in.
