Anytime you have a picture of a Golden Retriever to start, I'm in. Your points are also correct. Dogs, as cute as they are, need to be gome when a home is being shown. We lost our 15 year old golden last year and our new little dog, his name is Kumar, shows his excitement for meeting new people by peeing on their shoes. Great article and i’m still laughing.

I think Ole Yeller is the perfect name for your dog. Due to his size and penchant for baptizing the furniture, I might also suggest "Squirt." Let's be honest, our dogs get away with more than our kids. My nephew urinated on the wall once in his sleep, so now he's known as "Rainman." God needs to re-design the male member with sites so he can learn to aim. Joe, your household must be hilarious…and fragrant, too. I think Ole Yeller is the perfect name for your dog.

In spite of the incidents referred to in my blog, I must admit that some dogs may be better at sales than a few people I know. If my dog had opposable thumbs and could take the written test, she'd make a good go of it. She's a math whiz who knows exactly how many treats she can ask for before I lose my cool, and she can tell time - witnessed by the fact that she starts licking my face before the alarm goes off. I am not sure what kind of food selection she would muster up if she were conducting an open house, and I am sure she would sleep through it anyway. Caravan would be no problem for her, and I am convinced she could be trained to drive better than I do. (But so could Stevie Wonder.) If I can teach her to expel gas privately rather than in the middle of a dinner party, she could be a good agent. After all, a few of my colleagues haven't even learned that trick yet.

He won't pee ON you, but he'll claim every dad-blamed other piece of furniture in the house. I once scolded him and put him out on the back patio, only to watch him walk over and claim my grill. When I scolded him about the grill, he claimed the cooler. Seeing how this was going, I stopped scolding him and let him back in. He claimed my slippers, my wife's purse, two of the dining room chairs, and our other dog's bed. Frustrated, we resorted to doggie diapers. They worked great, he stopped - that is, until diaper graduation day. This has nothing to do with selling or buying homes, but it does have to do with the amount of flooring I'll be out when we DO finally sell our house. We've changed his name to "Ole Yeller" in the meantime. He's a miniature pinscher. Navy Chief, Navy Pride In February, Sherri and I adopted Bob’s twin – Rebel.
