Anonymous said...: Best dog I ever had was a 50/50 mix of Basset Hound and Labrador. he looked like a Basset Hound on long legs with a Lab face - basset markings. he had the flaps on the nose and the webbed feet. That dog would swim out through the surf line and paddle around the lineup until someone put him on their surboard for a ride in. Diving boards (remember those?) at a pool? A high dive and Kennesaw the Bassetdor was doing a triple gainer belly flop ten feet below. He lived at the bottom of swimming pools picking up toys off the bottom. That dog could hold his breath for an eternity. i miss him greatly lo these 35 years gone by. Can't say that about many women but I can say it about him...; 10/31/12, 10:42 AM

Meade said...: ed, Zeus is truly post-racial. He focuses only on truth, beauty, freedom and the goodness in all.

And cookies.

He assumes among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle him and he allows for the same in all his fellow creatures.

hawkeyedjb said...: How lovely. I have two black Labs, Gem and Rascal. I'm sure they'd get along famously with Zeus. Too bad we're so far away, we could have a play date.; 10/31/12, 11:35 AM

Zeus seems to have more humble aspirations...like climbing to a mountaintop and hurling thunderbolts at squirrels.; 10/31/12, 1:12 PM

That is one fine looking Lab. I bet he is a champ swimming and retrieving. Just look at the muscles in his chest.

Not as good as a Chesapeake Retriever though...../wink.; 10/31/12, 7:06 PM
n said...: Oh, I'm reminded of my dad's Chesapeake "Big Buster."
Big and oily and stinky. But a fine hunting dog, indeed.
