I advise you all stick with smaller dogs

For more than 30 years, I have had dogs in my life. At times, as many as 7 at once when the homeless were to get the needle before their time. (Can't have that)
We always stuck with the smaller breeds, all sheltie or border collie...along with one little doxie.

5 months ago, I had to have a rottweiler after a friends bitch gave birth. She is a great dog actually and has never spent a night crated (did not need it). She is quite smart and listens quite well for a 6.5 month old pup.
But...
Being large, when she plays, now nearing the 90 pound mark, she tends to "throw" toys in the air.

(You know where this is going, don't you?)

I saw it happening but it was too late. She got a hold of the brand new knotted rope toy and swung it into the air...

...right into the midbass driver of my MET7!

Oh the humanity!

Stick with smaller breeds guys, this could happen to you!

I have a little Yorkie named Zoey. About 4 pounds. She really likes Steely Dan.

Never have had to worry about her doing any damage to my system.

Sorry to hear what happened and I love animals, but KIDS and DOGS stay OUT of my Stereo room.

My mom grew up on a farm so as a kid, we had pets. At on time we had 3 dogs, 3 cats and their litters, frogs in the bathtub, canaries, turtles and a lizard. And all of this in a track home in the Valley (San Fernando).

When it was my turn to have a pet, in my own place, I had a Labrador who, at the time, was mixed with a Rhodesian Ridgeback. At the time I didn't know it was a mix since they resemble one another, save for the size. RRs are bred to hunt lions, so that should give you an idea of just how strongly built they are. At six months he bumped my TT setup and knocked it over. His canines were huge. I was told he would get to well over 100 lbs. (from his Labrador side).

He was easily trained and incredibly loyal and well behaved. It was too good a thing as one one day when I went to the side gate to get him for a walk, he was gone. It seems someone had stole him. If you are ever in need for an obedient, well behaved and loyal dog, consider a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

All the best,

Nonoise, I might be selling off a few audio items to purchase weaponry needed to hunt down the thief.

Too bad it wasn't your MET7 instead, Nonoise. Sorry to hear that story. I have a long-hair chihuahua, 3 years old. He should live for about 20. I'm 55. Sure hope we're geriatric together.
