While the pacing does annoy me, unless I'm trying to nap, it's the whining that kills me. Sloan is the whiner and most days I swear I could just ring her little neck.
Backup can pace and keep to himself mostly, Sloan has to get in your business and ask for fetch without stopping for even a second.
The problem with Backup is that panting, he's such a loud mouth breather. I think I'm far more sensitive to the sound than the noise.
I love these dogs, really, but sometimes I wish they had a mute button. LOL
