[Today’s run 6.7 miles in Starkville]
I made my way home from Colorado on Wednesday and Thursday. The wife had scanned the world for what kind of dog she wanted next and settled on a place in Arkansas that produced big dogs. Lo and behold, I just happened to be driving through Arkansas. So now we have a big dog… really big.
Actually, I attempted to slow this process down hoping for maybe a week of interim no-dog time. But it seemed kind of silly to have her drive back to Arkansas in a week or two which she was determined to do. So I volunteered to stop in and see the dog. And the dog rode on home with me.
The dog looks like a lion. It’s the color of a lion and that big head, small body look. It’s head is bigger around than it’s waist. Well…. maybe not quite. It is a retired momma from a breeder of mastiffs. All I know is that she put up with the trip OK and we’ve been getting along OK at home. The cat is not so sure he likes having a XXL dog in the house but the last dog was XL so he isn’t completely awed either.
I had to do some serious vacuuming of the back seat of the rental car before I returned it. She is a bit slobbery and she shed quite a bit, probably accelerated because of nervousness
