I loved the story which made me smile as I could imagine you wanting to hang from the ceiling. I always said my Natasha thought she was a lap dog @ 85 pounds. Plus she had a habit of sitting on my feet with her back to me whether I was standing or sitting. It was real peculiar. She made a good traveling companion sitting on the passenger side - did not need a CCW. :o)

The reason we solve as many crimes as we do is that most criminals are about as bright as this guy.

The reason I lose as many cases as I do is that most of my clients are about as bright as this guy.

It began when a Fred Meyer's worker spotted a man snatching a $42 bottle of Calvin Klein perfume and stuffing it down the front of his pants.

This perp gets the "Sandy Berger Perp Award"!

From the frying pan into the fire...

Did not plan his escape well at all.

My current owner is a 70 lb. Weimador, half chocolate lab and half Weimaraner. He is a lap dog. Unfortunately, instead of just getting up in my lap and snuggling, he'll sit on me with his behind under my nose, all the while poking me with his various bony parts.

~~~Bummer~~~

I just love these stupid criminal stories. rofl

Having trouble with that visual. :o) Does he turn around a few times before sitting? How old is he?

[libstripper]

He's a rescue dog, about 7 years old. When he sits that way he has his behind firmly in the center of my lap and his front paws either on the left arm of the chair or a little farther down on my thighs. Either way it's a bit uncomfortable, sort of like your dog's sitting on your feet and pushing back while you were standing up. The strange thing about large, friendly dog who are adopted by people who appreciate them is that they all seem to develop endearing, silly personality traits.

A breeder told me one time that was a signal that the dog either trusted you or was on guard for you - thus the looking outward instead of at you. I've never had anything but the Dobie do that. Your dog is smarter than mine was if indeed that is the case - yours is going to be comfortable while doing it. :o) And I can see that you are not free to do anything but look at his back. :o)

Now I have a Bischon Frieze, and a Jack Russell. They get along well except lately the Jack entertains herself by pulling the Bishon's hair out - and the Bischon lays there and lets her do it....he seems to enjoy it. So I am having to keep them separated. I asked the vet and he had no idea - said maybe stress related? I don't think so - think they are turning weird on me. Any ideas?

There are several here on FR who will agree with you that Dobermans are the "best sweetest smartest" dogs ever. Ours is a precious gift who is a joy every day.

Strange as it may seem to people who are not owned by Dobermans, ALL the Dobermans I know have been extremely tolerant of children, and they are better socialized to children OR adults than almost any other breed I've encountered. Ours has to sit with some part of her touching some part of us, and she feels the closer she can get, the better, LOL! It's sometimes hard to explain a 90-lb lap puppy!

Thanks for the sweet story (or stupid criminal story) ping!

Got pictures to share? I am still enamored with the Dobie breed. I loved watching mine run at full speed, don't you? - just beautiful in their power.

LOL! It's sometimes hard to explain a 90-lb lap puppy!

Oh TELL ME about it. My Ursa still thinks she's that 5 lb puppy she was when we first met. She sleeps on the bed, and always has her place on the couch next to me. And then there was the time when, full grown, she launched herself into my lap from across the room. Oy! She's a bundle of love, thankfully.

We (myself, my daughter and hubby) met a couple with a 6-month old male Dobie a few months ago after shopping at the local BJs Wholesale. This little guy (well, he wasn't so little) was already about 20lbs bigger than Ursa (although, strangely, he still managed to look thinner) and such a charmer. He was really taken with my daughter. Yeah, he thought the adults were cool, but this little giggling toddler was the coolest thing to him. I've been very impressed with the temperment of Dobies, which is funny--because the rep they have is of really tense, high strung tough guys.

I like the Rottweiler stockiness, though. My Ursa is a block of lead with a head the size of a pot roast (and she's one of the petite ones!)
