The dog doesn't let me out of her sight when I fire up the Traeger.
And what's with the shade being tossed at poodles? My parents had two, and they were great family dogs, and very smart.
We have always had weiner dogs, ususally more than one. If you have just one it typically gets severe seperation anxiety when you leave it alone in the house and does bad things while you are gone. They are amazing beggars and they all love smoked beef, and pork.
