Well, I won't have any more dogs because I can no longer take proper care of one (much less multiple), but yeah, this would be me otherwise.
Hell, I have shown people my edged item collection with my dog on my lap before, I just wasn't as old as I am now lol. I'm particularly proud of a keris from bali that I got as a gift, and I remember showing it off to a small gathering at my home, while everyone was so busy playing with the dog that nobody even remembered the thing the next day. Like, c'mon, it's over a hundred years old, and has been in the same family until it was given to me.
In fairness, my dog at the time was amazing. I wouldn't have paid attention either.
