Kathy, they were almost that size, REALLY! I've never seen a Rottie with a tail, so I tend to wonder if they might not have been at least part Rott. The OTHER part must have been GOAT! Actually, as I remember NOW, (and you know MY memory) they looked more like giant Black Labs, tails etc, except for being so BLOCKY through the body. Their haunches and butts looked VERY Rottie. I assume the Lab you saw was able to sucessfully lose some of that flab? ^..^ --- FidoPCB v1.5 beta-'j' * Origin: BOO!

Someone in one of my writing echoes who is very knowledgeable about authors just posted a note to me that what I received as an "author unknown" untitled poem published in the 1940s on which I put the title "The Piddler" is really "The Piddling Pooch" by Robert W.

One specific point: The cost of the I've noticed that at least one dog food is now being sold mouth to mouth so to speak, and the sellers of that dog food tend to say anything they can against others to sell theirs.

Right now it's raining and she's decided she's a Bouvier de la mer. Or maybe a Merbouv. Oh well, the puddles outside are keeping her from swimming in her water bowl. Gee, I've always wanted a pool. Maybe this summer I'll get one. (Of course Leo will consider it for the dogs and I will get to be their lifeguard ) --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Chas Co Sheriff's Ofc wants *YOU*!

(And he might not even stop then) Put Bailey and Dot together and Rosie (Bouv that'll be 4 on Sunday) just leaves the room in disgust. It's a ZOO around here. And it's abolutely wonderful.
