Dogs (and I don't mean Dawgs!)

This has got to be the most beautiful breed of dog out there. So gorgeous. So who's going to own up to being their lucky parent?

Not that I don't have a very good guess, since you are dog sitting right now.

Here's a photo of my Weimaraner baby who died of bacterial endocarditis at Auburn University Veterinary Hospital in January.

I am afraid your guess would be way off. Remember, I did not take the photo. Plus, I am not dog sitting currently. CJ and Mr CJ did not feel comfortable leaving their dog with me with Katrina approaching when they departed. I certainly understand and appreciate their not wanting to burden me with all the hoopla currently ongoing. Guess again, but I ain't saying. They are a good looking group of dogs for sure.

Our old guy Tucker (an English Mastiff) was 180. Tucker is the 10th one down. We lost him last year.

<snip>

You know you have a BIG dog when...

Cil, I am sorry to hear about your Tucker. That's hard. I wasn't able to view your other babies, for some reason. I laughed when I saw the list of ways to know you have a large dog. I saw this a couple of years ago on a great dane site (we have a dane) and saved it because it was so APT!

# the sound of running water makes you jump up and yell, "OUTSIDE!"

# you tell your dog to sit, and he backs up until he finds a chair <i><--- Ours does this!</i>

# it takes 3 people to get your dog on the scale at the vets

# you walk your dog and everyone knows him by name, but you have no idea who these people are

# you can carry on a conversation with a dog's muzzle firmly in your crotch

#you own a dog capable of pulling someone from a porta potty

# your dog can hide an entire tennis ball (among other things) fully inside his lips and give you that innocent look that says, "What? I'm not eating anything!"

# you carry a tape measure with you when shopping for a new vehicle

# after banishing your husband, the snoring in your bedroom still keeps you awake

# you are hiking with a friend who later suggests that you ought to have an environmental impact statement done on your dog

# visitors enter the house holding their privates protectively

# you toss your dog a ball and cringe when he almost hits his head on the top of the doorway

# you take your dog for a ride and he rests his head on your arm, causing you to make random right turns

# you have given up on water dishes and you just use the bathtub <i><--- Nearly, we have a five gallon bucket. LOL.</i>

# your two dogs decide to play in the house, and they end up pulling the ceiling fan down -- for the second time

# you have to move over when brushing your teeth because your dog wants a drink

# you show a picture of your dogs and kids together, and the first person you point out is your dog

# while stopped at a stop light, everyone stares as your car rocks back and forth because the dog is panting out the window

# you go to vacuum your car and most of the fur is up there on the ceiling

# you avoid the dogs on your way out the door, so they won't smear your makeup

# the monthly dog budget exceeds your home mortgage payment

# your veterinarian has been able to put in a swimming pool, build a large home, buy jet skis and a personal plane

# you have had to train your dog not to lick dishes, and the dishes are in the sink

# the donuts you put on top of the refrigerator are gone when you get home and your dog has powdered sugar on his nose

# your dog can see what you're cooking, and he tries to assist you in the preparation

# you're holding him straddled between your legs when the doorbell rings, you take a short (but fast!) ride straight to the door

# you purchase a large screen TV and you still can't see the program when he stands in front of the television

# after surgery, your bored pup decides to get up and cruise around the vet's office-- pulling the rolling IV stand behind him

While walking your dog...

# a five-year-old girl approaches to ask, "Why are you walking that baby cow?"

# a car drives by, stops, and backs up to you. The driver rolls down his window to ask, "Excuse me, that's a dog, isn't it?" When you say yes, he turns to his wife and says, "See, I told you so, nobody walks a deer!" and drives away <i><---Had this happen!</I

# a six-year-old boy takes one look at your dog and says, "Wow! I bet he could eat a whole roll of toilet paper in one gulp!"

# the big people walking the little dog always say "I don't know how she does it."

# you see a Chihuahua and you mutter under your breath, "My dog craps bigger than that!"

Darn it. Well, it was worth a shot. CJ and Mr CJ are wise to take their dog with them. I know I would want mine with me in such a case, regardless of the excellent care he would have received. Better for you too, since nothing is certain right now.

Hmmm. You have a picture of their dogs. How interesting. There are only a handful of people it could be, right? Right?

Aw, what a sweetie Beach Runner. I'm sorry for your loss.

You may be suprised to know the how many people it could be -- I only have a digital image, not a physical image. (I met another poster the other day, but he does not know that I know who he is.;-))

You would have laughed to have seen me in SoWal last week, staring suspiciously at every passerby, debating on whether or not it was SoWaler. Publix, The Red Bar... everywhere I looked, I saw potential Smiling Joes, or Kurts, or JDs.

You mean JB?

I often get waves and smiling stares from people at random around here and everywhere I go. So I don't know if people think, hey that is SJ or maybe they just think something like, that guy has some ketchup on his face.
