Dog days of fall
Meet my new friend, Tobias.
He's a Leonberger, a breed named after the city in Germany.

It seems the town wanted a dog bred
to resemble the animal on its flag -- a lion!
Does he look lion-like to you?
Tobias is 180 pounds of pure snuggles and love.
Not surprisingly, he's a wonderful therapy dog.
His paws are bigger than my hands and he's quite fond of acorns.
He also enjoys checking out his good looks in a car window.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch . . .
Ms. Charlotte had herself a little pout and took up residence exactly where I was trying to sit to get some work done.
She wasn't thrilled that I came home
with telltale kisses from Tobias on my face.
But in the end, her visit to the dog park got the better of her.
And everyone's resting now, except me.
But that's about to change.

I think Tobias does look lionish in a Chinese temple lion/dog kind of way! He looks cute anyway. No wonder Charlotte was a little miffed!
Now, what about this photo meme you asked about. I suggested doing it one week today. Do you agree? Then we can send out the invites. Please let me know.
Both have very expressive eyes. Both make me want to coo and give belly rubs.
And yes, Tobias looks remotely like a lion - mostly in those mammoth paws, but his face has the sweet look of a St Bernard. Kinda sorta. I love him though. I'd totally snuggle with him!
Feel free to email me directly. My address is in my profile.
Here's what I emailed this morning:

Oh, brave Derrick!! You accepted! I love you all the more now, if that's even possible! =;^D
Yes! Let's do the 21st.
I suppose we need to get our invitations posted today, no?
Thoughts on how to word it?
Couple ideas --
"Give us your worst shot"
"We dare you!"
"Nobody's perfect. So prove it!"
Shall we give our kind readers a chance to post the better shot, too?
This will be devilishly fun!!!!
Cheers!
