Thanks Jen. All the doggie expressions are priceless.

When I was at the vet hospital yesterday, a well dressed man walked past me with what I assumed was a wolfhound.....I said I missed mine.....He said very snottily, "It's a deerhound!" And I said just as snottily, "Well that's the biggest deerhound I've ever seen!" My wolfie was 120....this dog was about 140, way too large for the breed. There were about 200 cars in the parking lot, some type of conference was going on....hope he wasn't the main speaker!

Wow, why do people have to be so rude?

a breeder most likely ... the woman that lives in our neighborhood that breed and showed yorkies .. complimented Lily on her perfect colors... and bashed me for not pinning there ears to make them stand up.. how I should have cut the hair on the back of the ear when they were puppies blah blah blah

Thomaston, CT

Your probably right, Allison....I've met snots like him at the dog shows....I did think 'breeder' immediately......

South Hamilton, MA

If I was feeling kind of laid back I'd would of just looked at her and told her that I like my dog the way she is just fine. If I was feel like being more assertive, I'd told her "and your mother should of taught you some manners when you where a pup. If I was felt like really lashing into her I'd of added "instead of letting you grow up to be an obnoxious b----!"

Lucy, I feel you were the exception....my neighbors breed English bulldogs & are lovely folks....but they don't show them. I felt this man was belittling me for not recognizing a deerhound instead of just correcting me nicely. He was very arrogant.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

yeah I don't think those breeders let 7 puppies run over there head laying on the floor with them .. LOL

exhausting as it was.. we had a blast

Thomaston, CT

Glad you got to experience that....I love it when there are bulldog puppies next door to me....hope they breed again next year.....They have 3 females, but only 2 are old enough, & they don't breed them very often.

After 2 nights of none, to little sleep MR G. went to the vets. He has a partial torn ligament in his left rear leg. He is not to RUN or JUMP for 2 - 4 weeks. If it gets totally torn, it would mean SURGERY. He is 3 years 9 months old.

Oh no Mr G! Hope he feels better soon, good luck trying to keep him still!

Thomaston, CT

Poor baby.....he's such a doll...hope it heals soon!

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Shoot Sherrie! Hate hearing this...hope he heals well and fast.

Durhamville, NY(Zone 5b)

I'm sorry to hear he hurt him self. Good luck with keeping him in couch potato mode.

South Hamilton, MA

yes he is so used to running around, poor dog.

He will get everything he needs. "Time Out" especially, even if I have to hook him to a tree.

Gonna be Ruff with 2 dogs.

Poor baby, hope for speedy recovery

Bear is funny with food he hasn't eaten before. If I'm eating it he has to try it. I was eating ginger snaps this morning and he just had to have one. I gave him one and he carefully took it with his mouth and tasted it on the tip of his tongue, deciding if he was going to eat it or not. I guess he likes them becase he chewed it up and came back for more. Things he doesn't like such as bananas he gentlely lays on the floor.

funny

Clifford dug into the trash and pulled out a plastic bag. He walked over to DD1 and dropped it at her feet and looked at her. It contained her gauze and bandages from after oral surgery. It was like he was saying to her, "Did you forget something?"

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Funny Clifford!

Thomaston, CT

I had to leave Suey in the kennel for 2 days while I went to NH....she cried & sobbed when she saw me.....I don't know what will happen when I leave her longer in August....she was always clingy, but since her cancer treatments, I can't leave her for 5 min!

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Aww poor Suey...shame you can't take her with you.

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

Sad to be parted after her ordeals, but I 'm glad she's well.

Thomaston, CT

I took her to the lake once....she took their collie's toys away, ripped them up, then growled at poor Casey....kennel it is for her!

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Shame on you Suey!

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

Poor misunderstood Suey ;)

Thomaston, CT

Hard to believe someone would do a thing like that!

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

I do believe it. I have to give a second opinion today on an animal cruelty case. The penalties for a guilty finding are significant, and they guy is incarcerated awaiting trial.

Thomaston, CT

Oh, dear....my opinion would be like 50 years in jail!
