The vet technicians named him Albertus-Magnus which in Latin sorta translates into, Fat Albert. I personally don't think he was a stray. He is way to affectionate and on top of all that, I don't care how good of a hunter he is, there is no stray that can get up to 32lbs on his prowess alone (unless he was eating all the small dogs in the neighborhood. ha-ha).; ▶ Reply to This

The second I get home they spend the night just messing with me. Of course my mature response is to constantly threaten to make hats out of all of them - they simply roll their eyes at me and continue to raise hell. It a battle of wits and I not proud to say, I am always at the losing end.; ▶ Reply to This

Panda isn't show quality, but her pedigree includes "Josh", who won Westminster about 5+ years back.

4 Cats, 2 indoor, 2 out...Lord Oedipus Such, Shotze, Angel & Crystal....WOW again on the 32lb cat, most one of mine ever weighed was 18 lbs, maybe?

I'm an IT Production Analyst and work for the largest mail order Pharmacy in the US. Quite boring, but it pays the bills.; ▶ Reply to This

He also is 100% convinced he is a lap dog. Bogart's parents, Kayla & Sampson, were extra large for Newfies and he came from a small litter (only 7 pups & he was the only male) -- I think he was destined to be huge. He is starting to she his winter coat, so I am currently battling tufts of fur everywhere. Albertus-Magnus, my big 32 pounder is a character -- he likes to head butt everything (especially furniture). Bogart and Albertus are best buds.

Bogart recently was banned from doggie day care (AFTER ONLY ONE DAY). When I went to pick him up, the owner had a list of his indoor and outdoor offenses. Apparently my precious angel loves to sit on the other dogs. Yup, sit on them (I have no explanation). The minute another dog lies down he goes and sits on them. And he likes to hold the little dogs down with his front paw (according to the owner, the little dogs don't appreciate it.) His outdoor offenses are, he purposely aims for the smaller dogs and he likes to run over them (he thinks that is great fun). With the large dogs, he apparently likes to run at warped speed towards them and at the last possible second, turns and body slams them. I guess there was an incident where a husky went flying (until I actually see aerial photos of a husky flying through the air I consider that accusation highly suspect). Finally, he likes to grab a hold of the other dogs collars and tries to walk them. Have I mentioned that my dog is a brat? The owner of the doggie day care sang his praises about how sweet and loveable he is, but that he doesn't know his own size. That is when I was promptly told he was no longer welcomed.; ▶ Reply to This

She sleeps on my bed with a king sized pillow, one arm/paw over, one under and puts her nose to my nose and huffs like I'm invading her space.

She is very co-dependent...I work until 1am and when I get home around 1:30am you'd think that I was gone for a year, even if I leave for 20 min. it is the same.

She is very jealous of stuffed animals, but loves my 2 bouncing Tigers, she bounces with them and barks.

We have a stripper pole, that I'm not allowed to use, if I do, she chases me, and pulls me down, I have more pairs of ripped pants because of this. She hangs out on the stage when my husband, Kevin, and his friends play (loudly)! Yet, she can still hear the crackle of the Doritos bag...I can't even take the sound level.

The 2 indoor cats have her pegged, she's a Pussy at heart. Loves bath and shower water, hates the rain and snow...oh, and she's never gone swimming, she doesn't seem to want to get her paws wet...weird for a water dog.

So many other things, I can go on and on and on, I'm sure you understand...I love her, she's the best dog, make that hairy daughter I've ever had:); ▶ Reply to This
