Huge Ferocious Mutt

This morning, Tanith, the 18 month old tiny terrific terror, ran off into the bedroom after breakfast.  I caught Tanith sprawled across the floor, face to face with Alcide,our gigantic evil 50 pound German Shepherd-Husky shelter mutt, having a conversation.  She then stuck a Cheerio up his nose and laughed.  When I went to get it out, I found a White Rabbit wrapper jammed up the other nostril.  He sighed and laid back down. 

We got him two years ago from the animal shelter.  He was underweight, dehydrated, and very sick.  He was afraid of everything and let our toy poodle boss him around.  It's amazing to me how many people have remarked that he's a big scary dog.  He barks when people walk past his fence, but runs in fear when they approach.  This is a dog who has hurt more people while running from a thunderstorm than by biting them.  Someone even let him out of our chain link fence and called animal control about a big wild dog with a green collar.

2 years ago, Tanith and Ronin.  "Naybe he wikes me!"
