My name is Susie. I am a school teacher. I love seeing kids learn. I have a dog. I enjoy walking and walk at least once a day. I try not to eat unhealthy food. I love wine. I drink beer. I bought a Merlot. I like Merlot. I like Lagers. I live in Detroit. I like sliders from a small brewery with food nearby. World War 2 documentaries are my favorite to watch. I teach in a American history class. I also teach economics and an elective at times, but I mostly teach history. I love history.
I am old and retired. I used to be a fit gym teacher. I walk to stay active. I love cheeseburgers. I love war documentaries. I do not drink wine. I drink beer. I like Lagers. I live in Denver Colorado and have never been to Detroit. I like seeing World War 2 documentaries. I like to go on walks with my wife. I volunteer at the dog shelter. I am thinking about getting a dog.
I was talking with a friend an hour ago, and they told me their Great Dane is very calm and quiet. I think that would be a good dog breed to consider if you plan on getting one. Hopefully the shelter has one that you can adopt. Those seem like nice dogs, however they are extremely large from what I understand. They are quite big, but if it behaved well; would it be that big of a problem? What other breeds would you consider adopting? I've noticed that most smaller breeds are more stubborn. I think it may be a problem because since I have retired, we have downsized into a condo. I don't think that would be fair to a big dog to confine them into a condo. I was looking at one called a Shetland Sheepdog. Do you know anything about that breed? I don't really know much about Sheepdogs, no. I know they're gorgeous animals, though. I heard they're easy to train as well, but I have no experience with them. Is that the dog you're looking into getting? No other options? That dog really appealed to me, but I am open to other options. Do you know of any small breeds that are not stubborn? My wife wants one that with snuggle on her lap.  I think all small dogs tend to be stubborn. I haven't really heard of any that aren't. They tend to be quite yappy and have a bigger attitude than their body. Haha. They all seem to be harder to train. Maybe if it was mixed breed with a less stubborn dog, then it would be easier? I'm not sure. German Shepherd are pretty well behaved dogs. They're not as big as Great Danes either.  I absolutely love German Shepherds but my wife already said no to that. I think we will have a hard time compromising on this one. Maybe we should just get a cat instead haha...kidding!  I don't have cat and never have. I would definitely probably want to get a cat if anything were to happen to my dog. I heard they're very low maintenance. Might be perfect since you're retired!! Haha. Ok maybe that is a good point. But I don't know if I can really walk a cat. Part of the reason I wanted to get a dog was so that it would force me to get outside and walk every day. I have a step contest with my local retirees in the condo building. I think you wouldn't have too terrible of a time walking a cat if you get it while it's younger. Just do it everyday and often and it should get used to the harness or collar you use. It'll be harder if they're older I assume.  Yes, I don't really see people walking cats in my neighborhood. I feel like my fellow veterans would laugh and make fun of me.
