Re: RC: dawgs

My best dog ever was Panda, a Great Dane/Lab/Collie mix female.  She was big 
and furry and sweet as you would ever want.  She broke her hip as a puppy so 
she was never able to do any long distance travels, but she could keep up 
with you for a walk in the woods.  She was great with my kids, who thought 
she was a pillow for watching TV from the floor (well, Panda thought that's 
what she was for too!).  She never got into trash, or would ever consider 
taking food that had not been put in her bowl.  She loved people food, so my 
kids would give her anything.  She didn't like pickles and the kids would 
always put pickles in her bowl.  And she would pick them up, trying not to 
taste them, and put them on the floor next to her bowl.  And the kids would, 
put it back in the bowl.  This game would go on with the pickle until it was 
all shriveled up.  Panda lived until she was 15 and she is sorely missed by 
my entire family 2 years after her death.  My older cat was so attached to 
her that for six months after she was gone that cat walked around the house 
crying for her.
