For those who love large dogs

[Steve]

When you are the owner of a large-breed dog:

1. You have probably recieved a broken nose.....or come close!

2. You have had a black eye, and nobody hit you.

3. You have had a broken toe from the dog treading on your foot.

4. You have lost a toenail. See #3 above.

5. Your pooper-scooper of choice is a snow shovel
(Extra points if you live in a state that doesn't get snow!)

7. You buy your dog food in bulk

8. You hear things like "That's a LABRADOR? I thought he was a Mastiff!"

9. You still drive a van or a wagon, and the kids are grown and have their own cars now

10. Anything on the coffee table is likely to be swept off by a happy tail. You dread visitors coming!

11. Your Christmas tree has no ornaments below tail height.

12. To decorate for Halloween you just move some of the dog's bones from the back yard to the front.......

13. Your dog lies on your feet and when you get up from your chair, you can't move.

14. Your dog also answers to "Moose"

My wife is recovering from a dislocated and shattered finger after George tried to chase a skunk. So far she's been out of work for about two months. Two hours of surgery and lots of physical therapy.

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!

Man, just thinking about that hurts! Pass on best wishes for a speedy recovery, would you?

My wife has had the broken toe and lost the toenail too. Me, the black eye.

Why do we put ourselves through that?

If the dog realised what he'd done he would be mortified.

So, what breed is George?

George and his sister Gracie were rescued from a shelter in Susanville CA at one month old. So far parentage has not been determined.
