Video Test--see my dog on Regis!
I'm testing blogger's new video feature. Here's hoping it works! (This video is from 2001).
And to be fair to the big guy, I was egging him on with bagels and food from the green room. They usually only drool when they're thinking of food or just after they've had a drink.
That was Justus, who weighed 275. He was a big boy, but not really overweight.
Justus is now in doggie heaven and my new mastiffs, Charley and Babe, are about 180 and 200 pounds, respectively. Charley is naturally thin and Babe is naturally a tank. But she floats (and she loves the pool!)
Thank you for getting DSLN, Suzanne! I'm a little concerned about people not picking it up because of the funeral aspect--but trust me, it's not yucky or depressing. :-)
And yes, I have "scoop poop" scheduled on my calendar two days a week. I go out with a little shovel!
I didn't realize how big Justus was until I saw him standing next to you and Gary! I work in a restaurant and I had mentioned you tonight, in fact,about Justus and you being on Regis with the largest dog when we were talking about large pets. How funny,I get home and you have this clip on your blog!!
Comment: I'm with Bonnie. Hearing you tell the story at OCW made that video even funnier.
Question: Did you use a personal video of the show? Are the any copyright laws involved? We have a video of us winning Family Feud that I'd love to post, but I'm too lazy/busy to find out if I can. :-)
That was fun. I guess you can't make those guys do a thing they don't want to do!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with all the, umm, moisture they produce?
How fun, Angie. And what did yours weigh? And, Kay, we all carry towels around all the time.
ReplyDeleteI used to store my towels in the linen closet until we got an Emglish Mastiff. Now I just toss them all over the house. You need them constantly. LOL
We keep "drool rags" handy. :-)

But yep, the drool rags do come in handy!

lol that was the funniest thing i've ever seen. a doggy scale! the poor dogs are probably wondering why they keep going up and down in the air.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this! my poor pug looks so miniature now.
Crazy! I don't even want to think about cleaning up the yard after a dog that big! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey! Guess what I bought at the boostore tonight? Yup...Doesn't She Look Natural? !
Can't wait to begin reading it!

ReplyDeleteAngela,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video and for the laugh. What fun, especially after hearing you tell the story at the OCW Summer Conference.

I saw stills of Justus (except I was mentally spelling it Justice) at Oregon Christian Writers. What fun to see him in person, as it were!
ReplyDeleteJust added a link to this blog to mine--spreadin' the joy around!
Right now at www.liveregisandkelly.com
ReplyDeletethey are looking for suggestions by viewers of favorite moments.
Everyone go vote for Angie and Justus!
Christina, did you really win Family Feud? You never cease to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteBonnie
Boy, I'm glad they don't weigh me on TV!
ReplyDeleteI collapsed with laughter, watching you try to get Justice onto the scale. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, would I lie to the entire universe on Angela's blog? Of course we really won Family Feud!
ReplyDeleteSo I really, really need to have Angela answer my copyright question. :-) Really!
