I meant that I was surprised at how spatially aware she is around him. She doesn't worry as much now that he's older, but when we got her, Ronan was only 1, and not very steady on his feet. She was always very careful about how she moved whenever they were around each other. It was kind of funny watching a 120 lb dog tiptoe backwards so she didn't knock the baby over lol

Ohh well the females from what I've had experience with are VERY gentle and mindful of everyone in there space. A local pet store owner had one and she was always the most friendly and well mannered dog I ever came across.

Now the males (as per most species) are a little clumsy from time to time and tend to not care so much about moving chairs, tables, people and so on in there way of whatever it is they want.

This is a real issue! Lol. I'm also constantly wiping down the walls and furniture, along with windows and kitchen appliances. And she's incredibly dry-mouthed compared to most of the breed. I can't IMAGINE what it would be like if she had a wet mouth! Lol

Yeah.... it's..... well, it's not pretty. My mom washed the walls so much the paint and drywall mud started coming off. Hard floors are a must and He has his own couch that gets deep cleaned once a month.

But it's all worth it, look at his pretty little face :)

Oh and that little white streak on the bottom right of the photo is.... you guessed it, little droplets of puppy love :p

Not much of a difference, but I thought I'd share both perspectives :)

Why don't you run on down to Florida and "encourage" TBS to hurry up and fill my rock order. Then, go ahead and bring that rock and sand on up to me in Iowa ;)

No rock, no sand = empty tank

Lol and you have the best sump on r2r

Well I don't know about that, it has been giving me troubles as of late.

I'll call them and tell them I'll send snow there way!
So is this tank going to be all HOB?

@Erin O apparently we need to have a real talk.
I can't drill. The tank is tempered all around. I refuse to use a HOB overflow. I've read too many horror stories about leaking. Nope, its a canister for me, my friend

Okay, Real talk time. You just need a real HOB overflow like a Lifereef or Eshopps (basically stole Lifereef's design so functions the same way). Jeff has been making them for 20 something years and has never once had a report of one failing...

Ah, but you see, the stand is done, with nowhere to put a sump
