I just hate to have to bend over to pet the dog.
On the other hand, having a dog that can sit on the floor, and comfortable eat from a plate on the dining table has its drawbacks as well.
Pit Stop gets stuff off of the counter too.
Last night when I got home he had a hot sauce packet in his mouth.
The funniest thing is on the rare occasion the bedroom door is left open he gets one of my shoes and sleeps with it under my desk. Never chews it just sleeps with it.
