2 Border Collies

Bags of coffee beans are a great reference for weight as a standard bag weighs around 1 pound each.
You can purchase larger or smaller bags but most people are familiar with the 1-pound bag of coffee beans.

75-inch tv
I recently purchased a new 75-inch tv and I was concerned about the weight of it being mounted on the wall. A huge advantage that new TVs have over older style TVs, is they are considerably lighter.
