These Saudis are just now figuring this out?

The only problem is that most girls go ga-ga over the little frou-frou lap dogs, so that a guy can't get a manly kind of dog like a Chessie.

Of course, I go ga-ga over Chessies, and Labs, and Boykins, but I work retrievers and I've been married for 31 years . . . .

I was eating lunch in a restaurant when an elderly man carrying a tiny Yorkshire Terrier strolled by the window. He was constantly being stopped by beautiful young women who cooed over the little dog.

My sister and I went outside to talk to him. He was 83 years old and told me he’d met more women in the six months since he bought the dog than he had in the previous 60 years!

I own an English Pointer and an English Springer Spaniel. I’d love to get a Boykin and adore Chessies! But then I subscribe to Gun Dog magazine, Astronomy magazine, and Traditional Home magazine. Not exactly a normal thing for women to do. LOL!

Reminds me of our late, great Golden Retriever, Prior Lake Jake. Jake liked nothing better than to go out on the winter ice to visit the ice fishermen on Prior Lake and beg a beer and a brat, if they had any.
He didn't care much for Schnapps but, if the beer can were carefully tipped in his direction, he would consume a full can of whatever was available, without spilling more than a few drips. Half way through a second 12 oz can would usually bring a series of burps, nose bubbles and sneezes. Afternoons were scheduled inside, with a big nap...

My younger dog apparently started out as a Great Dane/Black Lab cross, but grew up to be an 85 lb. Black Lab/Pit cross. Sweetest dog in the world.
