Darling Husband and I just got back from our 'dog trip' to celebrate Chester's first birthday (& Valentine's Day!! :)). We went to an adorable little beach town, Cambria, on the Central Calif. coast. There's a wonderful boardwalk that skirts the top of the cliffs so you can see the ocean, and as long as your dog's on a lead, he's welcome. DH had Chester and I was walking Cowboy (a big Newf) and a man comes up behind me and comments on how much pain Cowboy must be in and he hoped I had him on Rimadyl. Now, Cowboy has had a lot of health issues,doncha know, but, luckily, hip problems is one bullet he's missed (whew!!!). I tried, politely, to point out that that rolling gait is typical for a Newf. They all walk that way....with sort of a swish to the rear end. He reassured me that since HE had orthopedic problems (he walked VERY stiffly) he could recognize it in all other animals! Amazing, huh!!! Guess it's just another one for the dumb comment book!
Anyway, we had a great time.....and Chester learned to howl! He did NOT like being confined to a hotel room! It was lucky it was in the late afternoon when he couldn't distrub anybody! :P

Hahahaha! GREAT one!!! Wish you and Jack could have been with us! They could have all nudged him over! ;D

Yep, if dumb was dirt, that fella would cover a whole 10 acres!
(I've been dying to use that one for a while! *lol*)

Now THAT'S a great one too!!! Where WERE you guys when I needed you?!!!

I'm so glad that you had so much fun on your mini-vacation.
And it sounds like that guy is to full of assumptions when it comes animal health problems. Which of course, makes him a you-know-what...

Yep...first three letters of 'assumptions'! :o :o :o

If dumb was dirt and he opened his mouth quite often, that guy probably built the Cliffs Chester and Cowboy were walking on in about 6 months. ;D
God help him if he saw a chow chow, he'd probably have a heart attack at that stilted gait.
