Today’s Blog Post


My new friend at the Mall
He was bigger than most folk nearby him. His eyes were red. And he sat quietly near the door. I felt for him. A big, kind, gentle, and might I say… even lovable guy… was the best way that I could describe him.

I had wanted to invite him to come in my vehicle with me… but some how I knew it wouldn’t work… I had not asked my wife if I could bring a stranger home… and that isn’t cool in our family.

Worse yet I am not in the habit of bringing complete strangers home either. It would break my own value and ethic that I have held close to me all these years. I will help strangers but when it comes to letting them into our home… it is a little over the edge.

But this person might have been an exception. I could love this guy – easily.

Who is he?

Well he is a Neapolitan Massive – grey or charcoal in colour. He is about 4 years old and weighs 208 pounds.

Here is a photo that I clicked on my way out of the Mall yesterday.

(check out the size of the feet of the person standing behind him)

One of the more unattractive things about him is the long drool that hung from his massive lips.

As I touched him he looked at me and kind of grinned, if that is possible with such a big animal?

I know one thing for sure – feeding him would be something else!

I don’t know his name. He wouldn’t answer me when I asked.

Now I know I would like to get one.
