Mine is remarkably similar, came from Haida Gwaii in 2016 and is apparently a border collie mixed with Newfoundlander which I believe is true because not only is she great with kids, a herder on trails and loves water, but she’ll actually dive her head under the water to retrieve things

Growing up in my house, we had a whole separate living room that we only used for, like... Christmas. That was it. It never got used any other time of year.

I've got what most folks I know would consider a lot of space for a single person, and will probably own a home someday, and that's still baffling to me. I have to constantly stop and remind myself of the mental health benefits of having open space to stop the utilitarian part of my brain from trying to squeeze a use out of every square foot of floorspace. A hallway in my apartment ends in a little nook with just enough space for a shelf and I've ended up turning it into a 3d print farm.

I lived in a studio apartment during my first couple of years of college but even that one had a separate area for the kitchen. You’d walk in and your kitchen was on the right, then a few more steps forward opened into the living space.
It was all attached but separate if that makes sense

For anyone unaware, the quick little sneezes that Charlie does at the end there are "play sneezes". Dogs use them to show they are excited and having a good time. They also use them to make clear that their behavior is only playful.
While we can't read the minds of dogs, it's a safe bet here that Charlie was making those sneezes to laugh along with how his human was laughing, and as their tones both started to sound more serious, with him barking and her saying, "No!", Charlie used them to essentially say, "Come on, you know I'm just messing with you! You know I love you."
It's one of my favorite things about dog verbal communication. If you can get a dog to sneeze like that, it means you're making them giggle or laugh with glee. If they do it while you're playing/rough housing with them, they are doing it to reassure you that they are only playing, even if they are growling and barking, and that they are very excited and having fun.
The dogs I've had have often done it when playing, as we jump back and forth chasing each other right before they launch into some zoomies. I've had some that will do it rapid-fire in the middle of play because they are so excited.
Every dog I've ever had has also done them when we've engaged in "conversation", just like Charlie did here with his human.
They do the same thing when interacting with other dogs and other animals, although they probably don't realize that other animals or even humans might not understand what they mean by it. Kind of like how we sometimes can't help but laugh when playing with animals, even though most of them might not totally understand what we mean when we make those sounds.
Here's a good article on the various reasons dogs sneeze. Another reason is they do them when "negotiating". My dogs have often done this when we've gotten into "discussions" about if they should go for a walk or if I should keep playing video games, etc.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk on dog sneeze/laughs.
