OMG .... I have the greatest dogs on the planet. My black lab, Mikey, is 9 years old and the best dog ever. And my chocolate lab, Dunkin (like Dunkin Donuts), is 2 years old and trying so hard to be the best dog ever.

So, let's see pictures of your awesome dog or dogs!

We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

It IS a St Bernard, the short haired version. Also, this is the European (original) version, so they won't get as big as their American equivalents.

I had two bird dogs back when I was an avid bird hunter. My German Shorthair was challenged EXCEPT when it came to all things birds. He was a savant in that one area. My water fowl dog, a Standard Poodle, was smarter than about 90% of my undergrads. That dog made me a ton of money!

When I was a kid we had German Shorthairs ... great bird dogs, family loyal as all get out, but not super smart about anything else.

Yes, The Fine Swine President has a rescue dog. He hated my guts but finally came around. It took a few months of only me feeding him. Now he is Top Gun Actor! He is a good dog now and has one strong stomach for a dog. Tobasco sauce is no problem. He eats everything I cook and pretty much turns his nose up at dry dog food.

Awesome dog .... our older black Lab is a rescue also. We helped take him and 5 other labs out of a house that was so awful I still shudder to even think of it. I've never before been in a house that reeked of dog urine and feces. Ugh

I once had an Uncle in Seattle, he was a hunting, camping and skiing Fool! His Day Job was in the Tool and Die Dept. For Boing Aircraft Co. During WW-2 he and his Partners developed Stevens Pass Ski Slope and Resort that was Ultimately Sold for Boo Coup $ and the 1St Mortgage on the Largest Bank Building in Seattle! Just before the Day he Died he told his 2nd Son Ronnie Quote: "The Only Two Things Needed in this Life is an Old Truck and A Good Dog!"
