OMG...if you get one, I'm moving in.
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Our financial advisor just called and one of his clients has a baby one but it turns out their son is allergic to him, so they're on a quest to find him a good home.
He's pottied trained already...but what I'm reading is that they can be territorial and destructive if bored Kind of like most animals...lol!!
I don't know...we're considering doing a trial run for maybe a few days to see how Teddy and Kyle react

If they can be territorial I would be worried that Teddy and Kyle may become food.

A friend had one. His name was Arnold. He had a doggie door into the house and everything. I only met him once, though. It was a sad, but tasty, day when he passed on.
Kidding on the tasty.

A friend of mine had one growing up. Treated it just like a dog...took it on walks, etc.
All I could see was a plate of bacon running around the house. But thats just me

Bacon is to men what shoes are to women. We can never have enough of it and women will never understand our deep desire to have more.
