Speaking of junkyard dawgs, I once knew one who was actually a very expensive obscure purebred. (Long story as to how she got junkyarded. LONG.) She was this dainty-looking snow-white creature of about 80 pounds, and they painted all her toenails sparkly pink. Said it gave the junkyard some class.
(For the dog fans, she was a livestock guardian dog and absolutely loved her new station in life. Hang in the office all day, prowl the premises all night.)
I am a FIRM believer that dogs need both a, ‘Mission in Life’ ...AND sparkly nail polish! Great story!
(Goes for us Gals, too!)
