Pleased to wake up with no dogs in sight

Most of my dreams are quite pleasant although some involve dashing around trying to find a toilet. These occur when I’m putting off getting up. However, last night I dreamt we took delivery of two Labrador dogs – a chocolate and a cream. I’m not sure what brought this on. There are a lot of dogs in our gated village. Most are what we call ‘designer dogs’. There are a lot of poodle crosses – caboodle (Cavalier/poodle), cockapoo (cocker spaniel/poodle), maltipoo (maltese/poodle), etc. One website lists 61 different poodle crosses. Mostly, a poodle cross won’t shed its coat making it more suitable for asthmatics and those with allergy to dog hair. The Shih Tzu/Maltese cross is also very popular. Most here are smaller dogs; some, like their owners, are very old. A few are yappy which draws complaints from nearby neighbours. Having to look after their dog’s needs gets the elderly up and going in the morning. I have a husband. I don’t need a dog. Anyway, I was glad to wake up find we didn’t have two great lolloping Labrador pups waiting for me. Photo of our friends' poodle

This place is only just big enough for the two of us. We don't need to add a dog to the mix.

@JudyEv besides you can play with your neighbors dogs and not have to provide for them nor take them home. Just like kids

Sooooo, Vince is all you need to keep you on your toes? Just kidding, I wanted to say something else but when I wrote it there was something sarcastic and mean about it so I didn't. It's hard to convey funny in writing .... at least for me it is.

Yeah, I do try to do that as well but still, some things even the funny things can come out wrong even if it's funny.

I've been misunderstood a time or two too so I know what you're saying. I use the emojis a lot as they seem to help. Putting a smiley face after a remark helps convey that you meant no malice. And if English isn't your first language, things can come out wrong sometimes. I try to cut people a bit of slack if I'm unsure.

A dog would just be one more thing needing my attention all the time.

Kind of reminds of me waking up to the sound of the smoke detector chirping. I was dreaming about the sound, only to find out.... I wasn't dreaming.

I've never heard of a caboodle. Except for the Caboodle make up cases.

Of the 61 poodle crosses mentioned, I'd only ever heard of a couple of them. And I've never heard of Caboodle make-up cases!

I will say IF we were to get a dog, I'd want a big one like a Lab - not the little yappy ones . But I don't know about 2 Labs . For now I'd rather have dream dogs than designer dogs .

We have too many other things going on at the moment to be able to give a dog the attention it would need.

@JudyEv The cat told to the cats of two neighbors, I have two others coming to visit, but they stay outside, only want to be petted. Better that my husband keeps quiet, I am fine with more than one cat but NOT with two husbands.

I hope your cat doesn't tell others about his good fortune or you might soon have more than one! Hopefully, your husband will keep quiet about his good fortune too!! Nobody would want two husbands.

Labrador is a great dog but they require a lot of work and attention. Like you said, you already have a husband

@JudyEv in real life if I had to go bad enough I’d do it anyway if there was no door. Better then going in my pants . My husband can’t go if I’m in the room

Funny, I often have that same dream about looking for a bathroom. It usually means I have to go. You probably dreamed about dogs because not only do we talk/type about dogs here a lot but you see a lot of them daily there.

I guess it's your subconscious telling you to wake up and go to the toilet.
