Irish Wolfhound
Here are a few things I would really like to say when I am walking my Irish Wolfhound and people approach me.
1. No he's not a god damn pony.
2. No, I do not put a f'in saddle on him.
3. He eats 6 cups of food a day, considering he weighs 160 pounds, that doesn't seem so bad.
4. I cannot believe you are asking me about my dog's defecation habits. Gross.
5. Yes, he lives inside; he does not live in a stall.
6. Actually, he does bite. I think it's so much fun to try to control a 160 pound viscous dog in public. No liability there!
There are many many many other absurd comments people enjoy making when I walk Finnegan that I can't think of right now. I know I sound bitchy (shocker), but those of you who own giant breed dogs or unusual breeds will understand.

Nice. My strategy was always to say "Thanks!" (regardless of inappropriateness of the comment) and keep walking.
Nice picture of the Wolfhound. I've got a mix that will probably end up at only 85lbs...I guess he's a miniature wolfhound. I've got pictures of him on my blog.
I also constantly have to make these same responses, plus "No I don't put a saddle on and rider her!"
I had two Wolfies - one of which died yesterday. You can visit my blog at http://angies-grains.blogspot.com/ to see a picturer of her.
