riiiiiiiiiiight...
 

Don't get me wrong, but Ridgebacks can't fade the king of dogs...just my opinion though...I like the fact that regardless of the circumstance, my dog won't be fazed, By another dog, human whatever, and he knows it so he's completely mellow...

Not fazed by ANY dog?

nevermind..
 

any non-rapid, or possesed dog...

If I didn't know that Bean was smaller than the infamous "round thing" (notice, I didn't type it either in case I was overheard ;)) that would be an extremely intimidating picture.

It is a very COOL picture, nonetheless.

Have you ever, just for your own (and ultimately our) amusement ever considered purchasing a rawhide bone intended for a much larger dog? I'm not saying get the one that's sized for Maximus, but one that would be to scale for, say, a German Shepherd?

We are not allowed to use the words Frisbee or cat in the house or type them in a color Merlin can see. This dog is mental.

Ball. Whaddya know, the color thing works!

Actually that's Pearl as the rabid/possessed beastie; we have two of 'em, one's mostly black and the other's mostly white. (An integrated household.)

Gorgeous animals all. I'd say in a tight spot the ridgeback is the best wing man here but I'm partial to my boy. I can almost hear Pearl working her chewey, nice pic.

Merlin is beautiful!

My Idol is also beautiful, and he fears nothing (he would like nothing more than to chase and catch one of those pesky SUVs he sees on his walks), but hopefully he'd be wise enough to leave Maximus alone ... hopefully ....

Good lookin' pup!

Oh and Wolf, yes! There is a Maximus-sized bone that is available out there. Bean is really excited when he sees it.

And for a while both of them gnaw away.

By the late afternoon, the excitement wears off.

Wow! I bet Idol is Speed Racer eh? Sharp looking dog. An aquaintance of mine has a borzoi, she is probably the loveliest non-human creature going.

fantastic pics all!!! (I particularly liked Bean's look of Wonder at the big bone ... "ooooh, I get to chew on ALL of that. I'm king of the world!!!")

I have really got to move into a place that allows pets. :( I miss fur.

Clean-shaven, eh? I knew a girl that we used to have a codename for.

"Sir, the Bald-eagle has landed, sir."

Wouldn't YOU like to know ... ;)

Griff,

Yes, Idol is in fact a retired racing greyhound. His racing name was All I Can Be. Was in ~150 races in Florida. He's the great nephew of another greyhound we had who died back in 1998, rest his soul. Roman was the best dog ever. I miss that old guy.

When I inquired about adopting Idol the lady running the adoption program asked me in a very suspicious voice why I wanted him. I explained the above, and she suddenly became much friendlier. Turns out she was afraid I'd seen him race and just wanted him for his looks. It's a good thing he is so handsome, because he tries our patience on a daily basis. ;)

Undertoad,

Those big bone/little dog pictures are hysterical! Those guys must be so much fun to live with.
