“What a beautiful dog. Is that an Irish Wolfhound?”
“Yes,” he answered, seeming delighted.
“Can I come say hello?”
Heartily encouraged by the man, we two had a lovely nose to nose meeting with me scratching behind those soft floppy ears. Unfortunately I forget the three year old pup’s name and also failed to ask if he’s a show dog. I hope we’ll meet again.
Don’t even the healthiest and well cared for dogs often receive too short a life span? Did you know commonly bred pet store ferrets suffer the same fate, often succumbing to cancer?

Yes, their lives are too short, especially the larger dogs The dog seems to have a very good stance, so maybe it is a show dog.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful dog!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute dog. It seems like the larger the dog, the shorter the life. Sadly, all pets have too short of a lifespan. xO
ReplyDeleteIrish Wolfhounds are lovely doggos.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to go nose to nose with this cutie pie. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a fabulous day and week, my friend. Hugs. ♥
In the condo complex where I live, everyone knows the dogs' names, but the people's names... When I'm walking Buttercup, she's greeted by name by so many people. Me, not at all. Yes, you need that doggo's name. but after hearing it a couple times it should stick.
ReplyDeleteI wish all our pets could stay a hugely longer time.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a good looking dog! I didn't know that about ferrets, that is so sad.
ReplyDeleteYes, so sad that an animal's life isn't longer. I've lost two cancer. The longest any of my dogs lived was 12 1/2 years, it goes by so fast.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we recognise the dogs and not the owners? #AwwMondays
