my friend growing up had one, named Shaunacy, when we drove into there driveway he would come to the car, and if the window was down he would lay his head right on the windowsill to get petted, he was beautiful.
my little Homer, would love to play with him, he doesnt care what size the dog is so long as he wants to play

Ah, HE Paddy...not she Patty. Couldn't tell from the pic if he was a he. Guess I should of known since you spelled it with a d.

OMG, I just love the pic looking down the end of his snoot! That is just too cute. How are you bringing him with you on the plane? Don't they require animals to be in carriers. That's gonna be one big box!

He'll have to have his own first class seat for the extra room! A boating buddy of mine used to have an irish wolfhound that pretty much took over his 34' boat. Massive! Very friendly though.

Holy smokes Batman! So where do they put him? In with the luggage? In a box by you? Does he have to have special vaccines and is there a quarantine period?

mr&mrssunshine · 04-12-2009, 01:33 PM

he goes in the hold though for that price he should get free booze and a first class meal.

he has had all his rabies jabs so no quarantine

Yeah, he should have T-bone steak dinners and free booze, instead of crackers, peanuts, and a soda! I hope your luggage doesn't get lost!

At low tide, especially at the end of the canal during the summer.

Actually with the well dredged canals in PGI, you are very unlikely to have to deal with exposed earth which is where any odor will come from during a low tide. Plus extreme low tides normally occur in the winter during the extreme cold fronts when most people are spending less time out doors.

If there is a smell issue that comes with waterfront living, it comes with a fish kill. While not frequent they do occur and the dead will pile up at the end of the canals. You could expect a fish kill about once or twice a decade.
