"...sitting on my anonymous friend...."
Lol, whether people here say you're hot or not, you're definitely a DORK! ;)
Dang, you're going to hit me again, aren't you? :o
Heheheh, was it a Brazilian Mastiff that was the dog in the old disney movie "The Fox and the Hound"? Yeah, apparently I'm a dork too, lol!
So yeah, I love dogs. Animals in general actually...but dogs especially. If someone in the neighborhood found an animal in need, they'd bring it to the Blalock household. Hummingbirds crash landed, little birds who were sick...they all got the royal treatment.

I'd say I grew up on a farm if it wren't for a couple reasons: 1) there wasn't any crops, and 2) they all were 'pets' -- our animals weren't for a livelihood -- they were family!

We had everything but pigs and cows -- horses to chickens in the barnyard, dogs to rats (wonderful pets, I swear --every bit as charming as Fenris!!) in the household...and even a salamander named Sally (as in Sally the Salamander

).
In my early undergrad coollege years I volunteered at a veterinary hospital for a while to see if it might be the career path for me. Despite my loving it, at the time I didn't think I could handle that much schooling...yet here I am years later about to finish grad school, lol -- DOH!
Anyway, back to dogs! Well my absolute favorite breeds are German Shepherds and Dobermans Pinschers, since the ones we had were so wonderful. Oh yeah, I got pics too.
Hands down our best dog, Sheena...a plump but dearly loved Dobie. She was truly part of the family. I can't tell you how many times I woke up at night to find her face about 2 inches from my own, scaring the poop out of me! (she partrolled the house at night checking on everyone

). Of course, as the picture indicates, she loved to jump in bed too, lol. I still remember waking up with her taking up 9/10ths of the bed, me trying to force her off the bed with my feet: "SHEENA -- you're taking up the whole bed, fatso!"
Lucky was my dog for a looong time. I got her from the pound...2 days before she was to be put to sleep -- hence the name Lucky. Full size in the pic, she was some type of beautiful Shepherd mix. I always loved her "built-in" Cleopatra eye makeup.
And just because I love the pic, here's me waaaaay back with our old dog Red:
I also really like Akidas, as the have a lot of the beautiful qualities of Shepherds, have that awesome curly tail, and tend to bark very seldom.
I think greyhounds are extremely sleek and beautiful animals -- I just love the build of their rib cages [which of course your Great Dane shares as well] & their ears.
Lol you're crazy -- trying to keep a dog big enough to practically sit at the dinner table in an apartment complex?!?! Boxes or no, wouldn't barking give your little game away? And yes, you can tell he's a youngin' ... though already the size of Frankenstein! :p
