Greg,
I'm with you as far as the Dallas Cowboys are concerned. And I'm not wild about Dallas either. Actually, I was kidding, because I'm far too ashamed of my house and how I keep it to let anyone in. I'd have to shoot you in the back as you left to keep you quiet -- not really!

The dogs do not bite. They will hover over you (my Collie especially loves guy strokes), slobber on you (the Collie again), jump up when you get up because you might be going into the kitchen for food (they don't get human food/hand fed), then they will stand in front of you patiently--allowing you to pet them if you want, and reluctantly turning away as you say move, move, move, move, move, move.

As you come up to the deck, they will eagerly await you on the stairs, so you have to say move, move, move, move, move. And Lamar, the collie, had to learn to climb stairs so he doesn't know whether to go up or down, so you have to stand there while he makes up his mind.

I adopted both as adults, and they are wonderful companions. Shadow, my black lab, is about 7 or 8, and Lamar is about 5-6. Shadow has her Canine Good Citizen certification. Lamar tried his best in doggie training, but was always car sick going to and from, and not feeling well during.

At any rate, I think a get-together would be a lot of fun, except that I would be such a disappointment to myself and everyone else.
