All Kinds of Dogs!
What a great day at the beach. Buster and I had another date but I also fancied a couple of others big boys. First, my favorite picture of the day. Me and Buster!
I got it away from him once, and he didn’t like that very much!
Here’s Buster and his mom.
We met a Newfoundland, Beau, though he wasn’t always on his best behavior. Here he is with me in the surf. Can you tell how big he is? Mostly, I ignored him and played fetch because once that retrieving toy goes in the drink, my entire being needs to get it. By the way, Beau weights 145 pounds.
And then we met Grog, a French Mastiff or Dogue de Bordeaux. I’d never met one before and I learned that they are descended from one of the Ur-Dogs, the Roman Molssus. In the Middle Ages, they were used as hunting dogs. Wow! And to think the me and my other Goldendoodles have only been around for about 5 years.
Grog was so cool! He setup guard and protected the entire Pacific Ocean; well, until Buster and I ran after the kong, and then mostly, he wanted to play. “But not too much water,” he kept saying to me.
Do you have any idea how big that mouth is?
He didn’t seem that big to me, but his dad said he weighed almost 140 pounds. Wow! Two dogs bigger than Buster in one day. I swoon…..
Maybe someday, we’ll see him in a show. He’s only 15 months old and has a great career ahead of him.
What a day!
