Poor skinny puppy girl!

Interestingly, she has a small white patch on her chest which is a genetic throwback that pops up now and again, much like the longer hair coats do.

Her body language is heartbreaking.

She needs a secure home and someone to trust *now*.

:(

I think that we were all too busy admiring Magnum to notice anything missing from those dogs. The other day I saw an old Rockford Files where Selleck was the guest star. He was half a head taller than Garner. I was astonished.

Oh my! That poor dog. And what did they do with its coat?

He was dusted with corn starch to give him that cheery undead-Dobe look that I assume vampire dogs all have.

While I can’t weigh in on Selleck’s beefcake bonafides, I’ll say he is a gentleman and all around good guy. My father owned a limo company years back and he personally drove Selleck around one night on a Dallas visit...said he couldn’t be any nicer. This was crica 1990.

His dad was a UDC national champion and on his mother’s side there was a European champion I think but not sure. All Schutzhund or IPO.

I’ve always heard that about Selleck too. I’ve also heard that Garner is not so nice. At least he seemed un-nice when he’d appear on programs like Johnny Carson. He seemed very angry at the studios. He claimed that he injured himself filming varous stunts. Probably true, but he was just all around angry.

But, they both were handsome guys in their youth. Selleck still is. Haven’t seen Garner since that movie he made with Sally Fields where he was a sour puss too,

Dobies are great dogs.

That’s a start but their *names* would be helpful...even if it’s only kennel prefixes

PA is lousy with adoptable Dobes just waiting to mend somebody’s broken heart.

This is just one place

I'm prejudiced towards German Shepherds.........My experience with Dobermans is that they are high strung and stupid.

Of course having been bitten by a roommate's doberman certainly affects my opinion of them.....

I would love a Min Pin but I can’t imagine it surviving The Moose clomping around my living room.

Wouldn't a Min Pin be potential snake food around your house?

Nah.

The snakes don’t seem to perceive the dogs as ‘edible’.

Bob T Boa used to watch the cat intently when he was perched in his climbing tree but never tried to grab him.

Jake slithers over Odin on the sofa all the time and just seems interested in smelling him.

Odin ignores him.
