While we were walking on the wetland trail, a bicyclist stopped and she said he was the most, "beautiful, majestic dog she had ever seen". She then offered to buy him from me. She didn't give us a price but intimated that I could name my price. Ha! I told her if she had a million dollars in cash in a briefcase, I wouldn't take it. Some things just can't be bought. She also failed to notice we had been sitting there for at least 10 minutes because he was frozen in terror at taking a new route. Little did she know that beautiful dog is still a handful.
She asked me his breed but I figured anyone who would offer to buy a dog just because he's beautiful is probably not an ideal dog owner and out of fear that if I told her what he was, she would rush out and buy a fluffy white Maremma puppy, I told her I had no idea what kind of dog he was and that I got him from the pound. Yikes - definitely not the person who should have an LGD. He is not a clothing accessory.
I chuckled to myself all the way home. To think I would ever give up my PB! But....that won't stop me from reminding him when he is being a bastard that I could have sold him and been a lot richer and not had to deal with his psychiatric issues!
What idle threats you make.
This photo is courtesy of PB's foster mom. It's one of my favorites because it captures him perfectly. He says you cannot put a price on me, even when I deserve to be returned to the pound.
Cross your fingers for Dexter who is at the vet on an emergency basis because he is vomiting every time he eats. No doubt the little chubster ate a mouse tail or toy and now I will have to fork it out for surgery to remove whatever it is he ate. Monster.
Maybe I should sell *him* instead....

pb's admirer has good taste in dogs... he is the most majestic, beautiful boy ever! and i'm not just saying that 'cause i'm biased and one of his doting admirers!
hope all goes well with dexter. poor little guy.
PB Baby IS the most stunning dog. I know people would stop & cross the road to come see us.....while I'd be trying to run away with him LOL.
I adore that photo too. BHR wanted to use it for their gala poster but it was taken with my old camera & the original is too small a jpg :-( to use for printing large.
It's fab on web sites though, isn't it? The original was color & A is the one who cropped & edited & tweaked it to the final product. Image processing software rocks.
I know Dexter is better now but give him a smooch anyway; just b/e I'm behind on reading doesn't mean he shouldn't get his share of smooches.
