The best dog I ever had was a doberman, he was smart, fast, and had a twisted sense of humor, and he was big he  weighed 110  lbs.  and  loved to go and fart in my best friends face whenever he got the chance, and Id swear he would run off laughing. My wife and I have 4 dogs and 7 cats now, hers is a pekinesse / terrier mix,  2 german  shepard  mixes, one of them is half wolf ( yes really I saw her parents ), the oldest one is named Butthead, ( it suited him perfectly when he was young) and a dalmation mix. The cats were all strays that we collected over the years, I climbed up into the loft of a barn to get one after her mother died. One of the cats plays fetch, one of them is really bad tempered and randomly attacks anything or anyone except me ( my wife calls her psycho, but for me she`s just a little sweetie)  I call her Freddie, named after Freddie Kruger from the movies.
