That's probably true, too.
You know...when I was at the vet with Cleo the other day and waiting for a minute, I noticed that the kennel that I got my original dog from had an ad up on the bulletin board - not for puppies (I think he usually has a waiting list, for one) - just his name, the kennel name and a phone number. It's almost tempting to plan to call someday to ask if he knows of any older dogs from his lines that might be looking for a new home.
*sigh* I guess it isn't fair to Fiona that I'm always thinkin' like this...and I do like her a lot...but I love big mellow dogs, too!
Don't know about the other big dogs out there...but mine aren't going to let me sit still.
Chance got in a great chase across our back yard with a squirrel this morning. Whoosh. From one end to the other -- dumb squirrel was on the ground in our yard, not on the fence!
Squirrel made it through the bottom of the fence in time, glad to say. Then a train went by down on the water -- and Chance proceeded to answer it's horn with a hound-dog howl. What a riot! He'd have made a Coon Hound jealous. Matched the train horn perfectly.
