One year old…
Still growing?
Wow. Just wow.
What a beautiful animal.
Larger dogs often take longer.
Our Rotti mix didn’t stop till he was 5.
Oy. Don’t let the big dog eat!
At least, not as much as it wants to?
This thread gets two awards, one for Awesomest Dog, one for Accurate Headline of The Week.
Yo Dawg, I herd you liked large dogs… No. You know what? Forget it.
Damn! That’s a big dog!
It’s generally a good idea to regulate a dog’s diet even if they “self feed” well.
Why the fuss? That’s a normal size dog. Anything under 50 lbs ain’t even a dog.
(I grew up with Great Danes and Dane mixes).
He’ll be self feeding right off the kitchen table.
Overheard at the owner’s house: uh oh, he’s hungry again!
The dog in me knows exactly what you’re talking about.
he’s ONE? his poor mother! does he have siblings? how big was he when he was born? how is his human going to afford feeding him? will they be able to keep him in the yard, or will they need to rent space in a pasture somewhere? i have so many questions.
A Very Good Boi.
Dontcha mean ruh roh?
Uh, yes! That is exactly what I meant!
Is she training him to jump up on people?
Are we sure both of his parents were dogs? Maybe one was a great dane, and the other was a horse?
The title was writ large.
This gives me a great idea for a single-panel comic strip, where every time the whole joke can be “that’s one big dog,” with occasional ventures into how the owners’ inability to control him results in further hilarity… Maybe a long, old-fashioned name, something starting with “M.”
