  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Walk around or step over?

Heck why go through the pain of trying to decide which one to get?
Be smart and get one of each, heck go the extra distance and get two that way you will have spares on hand like stocking your pantry.
Spares is how I wound up with 4 dogs! I lost a dog to anesthesia way too young. Freaked me right out, called my husband hysterical, they had to pull him out of a big meeting. He decided if I had more dogs I would be less likely to freak.. Um, nope, just raised the number of opportunities. LOL

Funny that reminds me of a commercial from a long time ago...I forgot the advertisement but it was a guy on a ranch and a dachshund ran by him...followed by a herd of dachshunds!! That's gonna be you with a bunch of Mastiffs!!!
Lmao!!! I would love to. And where I live you can own 10 dogs wo needing a permit. :) Someday when I move out to the country I plan on have a herd of them. lol

My two aren't allowed in the kitchen, but for the sake of your survey I would make them move. :)

Same. Ours aren't allowed in the kitchen while cooking. My dog growing up almost got a knife in the nose. He was lying on the floor, head down. Not sure what happened that caused mom to drop the knife but it went point down in the floor an inch from his nose.

Sent from my phone, please ignore typos.

Usually Duchess will lay at the entrance to the kitchen and Duke likes the dining room floor so my wife cooking and the kids and I setting up, there's a lot of stepping over going on.

I learned the hard way...make 'em move! Zeek had a habit of ignoring me when I told him to move, so I stepped over him. Right as I was straddling over him, he reacted with, "Oh, am I in your way? Let me stand up."

...Let's put it this way, Zeek is taller than my legs are long. :eek:

Kryten had to learn that if I am stepping over him he isn't allowed to stand up or roll over.

Zoey has a habit of reaching out her front leg and hooking your leg just as you step over her.
Makes for awkward moments but I must admit it makes you agile.

I usually step over. Thanksgiving I tried to make Henry go out of the kitchen, when that didn't work i blockaded the kitchen. That turned into a game of crawling under chairs to get in :p

Ahhh clearly you don't have a TM...not only do you have to step over or go around but very often you also have to bend down, get on the floor and push their furry asses out of the way because they WILL NOT get up and move for you. Im telling the truth, we have done it on many an occasion with Mooshi....thank the lord we have hardwood flooring is all I can say.

Haha, sounds about right! He crawled half way under one then decided to stand up. He lifted the chair on his back, and it looked like he had on a saddle :p He's such a goof ball

Don't call that pretty boy a goof ball, he's just spacially unaware and challenged.
