Dogs are awesome sauce

Some dogs just don't like baths.

I have always had dogs with very little time in between. When my ex and I separated I let her take the Yellow Lab without argument as the dog obviously adored her. I planned on waiting until I bought a house before I got a new dog. Then I met my girlfriend who has a Labradoodle.

Seems this dog did not like men before she met me. This dog has been nothing but a joy since I have known her. She is still kind of a pup and very playful and is just a big flop of fuzz. It has been nice having a dog with such personality in the house again:

I have always wondered WTF people were thinking when they bred dogs with excessively drooling muzzles. Do people really enjoy getting slobbered on, having to clean slobber up from the floor, always being surrounded by/covered in slobber???

Some googling turns up that supposedly big jowls help to pull in/collect scents, which is why hounds have them. Dunno how realistic or accurate that is, but I'm sure the general idea that the drooliness is a side product of whatever was actually desired is probably accurate

Other than taking funny pictures, I haven't really found any upsides yet

Thankfully my pooch doesn’t drool but his oversized lips can be used as a sump pump in an emergency. He pumps at about 50% efficiency when he drinks. That qualifies him for Good Boy! status.
 
Dart doesn't drool constantly, just when he's thinking about food. So roughly 75% of the time.
