The morning dog frolics in the ice wave...
No, that's not my dog. Not my dog, not our dog, and not our neighbors' dog. I don't know who that dog is, other than that he decided to break away from his people and join me at the lakeshore.

That dog likes you because he senses your playfulness.Smart dog.
Can't tell if he's a black lab or a flat coated retriever from this picture.
Dogs always know who the soft touch is.
I wish I had a dog. I had three dogs - two black labs and a mutt. Then two dogs. Then one dog. Now zero dogs. When I see the neighbor's black lab chasing a ball in the park behind my house, I think: I wish I had a dog.
"Baboon escapes vasectomy op at testing lab and flees with two female monkeys"
That dog is me.
This is a link I forwarn isn't for everyone.
Today's Jo Biden Gaffe"
Biden says he negotiated climate deal with long-dead Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping
This is a link for all. Lynyrd is the best. The very best.
We had three dogs then one died of a seizure at age 17. Of the remaining two, one has diabetes so we shoot him up with Vetsulin twice a day. He looks peaked. Don't know how much longer he is going to be around. Don't get a dog unless you're willing to take care of them for a long time. And it hurts when they die because they become a part of your family.
In 1738, Alexander Pope gave a dog to Frederick, Prince of Wales.
Engraved on the dog’s collar were these words:
“I am his Highness’ dog at Kew;
Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?”
Dog of Dawn
Who Frolics on Mendota's frozen crest
Surely You cant be Sirius*
*Sirius, also known as the Dog Star or Sirius A
The name means "glowing" in Greek
Dog's pick up line: Hi, what's your name? My name is, "No, No Bad Dog."
You just don't speak Canine. The dog was trying to tell you his owner fell through the ice.

"Askim"

I tell our dopey dog to "Go get Lassie!"
Your locution is telling: ...who that dog is...” NOT “...whose dog that is...”
Because dogs have (ugh, hateful but useful word) agency. They decide for themselves. Thank God most of them are so tolerant of humans, and sometimes humor us or even adopt us.
Cats also, but differently.
Unlike San Francisco, where the morning fog may chill the air. I don't care.
The dog's got good taste.
How 'bout to *whom* that dog is...displays taste and good breeding on the part of the once and future owner. Have owned a number of dogs and cats, and am convinced that the process of adopting a pet is as much in their paws as in our hands.

Barack Hussein Obama thinks that dogs taste great.
Running on the ice. Obviously a good time girl or boy. Dogs have a pretty simple view of life--they're mostly happy.

LOL!
My wife is not a dog person. Our bigger dog, Slush, to my wife's great annoyance, will put his head on her knee at least a dozen times a day. She shoo's him away and admonishes him, but maybe once a week she pats him on the head.
He lives for that moment.
And for food. He likes food, too.
"Barack Hussein Obama thinks that dogs taste great."
Less filling!
Do you know this dog?
A poem I wrote about our dog.
Dog, Dying
He lies on his good side
Half-asleep under blankets
We draped against a chill
This Indian Summer day
Fourteen and some of our years
Gives him a hundred plus
In math that is harder for us
Than ever before
Every day of his life here
I have asked him
In absolute seriousness
What do dogs think
And he has always
Answered me
In his own language
Wagging his whole body
Owen: Nice. Thanks for sharing.
