    Shouldn’t you get a Catahoula? I’m just sayin Lol My Wife and I Have 2 Chihuahuas in the Truck. They’re really good Dogs. Not mean as perceived.Very comical and great Company. All Dogs are great IMO. Smaller ones easier to deal with.

    I love dogs And honestly they can make better companions than most humans. LOL I’ve thought about a dog many times, but I just can’t see myself taking on that additional responsibility on the road. Extra stops, the inevitable accidents etc.

    I pulled up beside a truck the other day they didn’t have one, or two but rather three German Shepherd’s in it. I can’t conceive how this is possible to be an over the road truck driver with three German Shepherd’s on your truck.
     
    D.Tibbitt and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    ARF.

    No issues.

    GRBARK!

    Someone is on your fuel tank.

    Growls... or even silent clicking of fangs you have a problem.

    Don't water it so much or you will lose a hour or two daily making stops.

    Or worse in a strange truckstop you never sleep. YAPYAPYAPYAPYAPYAP pantpantpant slobber slobber slobber.

    And my favorite. 12 miles from boston and closing against a delviery appt 20 minutes hence...

    whinewhinewhine I want peepee... where pray tell do you stick it to get that thing pee'ed?
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.
