I'm not really a dog lover. They are hairy and smelly and they seem to want to slobber all over me. I know people love them, but I just don't get it. :(
I do like dogs and I thought that when I moved I would get one. However, after the winter we had here, I decided that I don't really want to have to walk a dog in the snow and cold. My sister has two great dogs so if I feel the need to be adored, I can always go over to her house and play with them.
I love them. Other animals can certainly show friendship and loyalty too, but dogs seem the epitome.
I'm not sure how much more time I'll have with mine... He's getting on in years, and no one knows how old he is. But even though he's been coughing and slowing down, he'll still insist on going running with me.
Know what? A man I have know for over twenty is an avid dog fan. He bought Brick in 1999 and now it is 15 years old! He is doing his best to keep it living but it is bad off in increasing places but the happiest dog that ever lived and I swear on the Bible at that. Brick!!!!! A golden Labrador Retriever.

Awesome! Lovely breed. But I must be misunderstanding something: if Brick is the dog's name, and he's been around since '99... That would make him about... 26 years old?
Ahh ha your off too. Wereallll ooofff! Using my Pythagorean theorem load with unknown PI's..The other thing is around since 2009 and this being 2025, that will give it about 16 years but he has'nt hit it quite yet. The Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², relates the sides of a right triangle. The question seems to be exploring the connection between this theorem and the value of Pi (π). While the theorem itself doesn't directly involve Pi, its use in finding the lengths of sides can lead to ratios that approximate Pi.

Yes, but I prefer dog sized dogs. My son's girlfriend has a pocket poodle, I call it a dog faced guinea pig. I had to say goodbye to my Staffy in January. Cancer. 15 is a good innings for the breed but it still hurt.
