I agree..I don't like how some people dress up their pets-if the pets could talk I bet they would be using colorful language :0

I was watching bits and pieces of the dog show myself, Hallarian, but I didn't catch that part of it with the Working Group.Hallarian said:
I didn't realize that Cody was a Great Pyrenees! I didn't really know what they looked like and found some pics. What beautiful dogs! Most of the ones that came up first were white. Is Cody white?
Still welcoming you back and licking your ice pack?
Cody is Blareau!
He is mostly white with a few pale patches of very pale carmel like the dog in the first picture. He's 150 LBs, 9 years old and very good health according to his Vet. Pyrs don't live long past 10. When the Pyr I used to have died od a tumor I was a bout to buy a puppy (very expensive puppy) when a shelter on Kodiac Island called to tell me they had a Pyr aho would have to be put down if no one adopted him. I sent for him and we've been best buddies ever since.
Pyrs are tough to manage. Very loyal to one person. They are guard dogs and can be fierce. Cody has also been a rescue dog, something he's very good at except when he found a little lost kid he wouldn't let anyone touch the kid til I came and he released the child to me.

Cody is miffed today!
Today we walked in the woods BUt, Sammy walked with us. He's a beautiful persian tom cat our family rescued last year. Cody hates cats and has to reminded he can't growl or chase Sammy. Sammy knows this and teases Cody when ever he thinks I am not looking.
Sammy was sick and skin and bones when we found him. He's really fat now and I am amazed that even with his little short legs and tubby tummy he can walk a whole mile. He loves the walk and seems to sneer at Cody when he thinks I can't see to yell at him. Cody will have to learn to ignore the cat somehow. Cody is sleeping on my feet right now but he's letting me know he's definitely miffed.

The Indo-Chinese Tiger is really the Tibetan Himalayan
Look above. The Indo Chinese tiger is really the Tibetan Himalayan Tiger and is really rare. I met one when I was where i should not have been and she didn't eat me. She did growl at the Chinese soldiers near by which upset them a lot. Saved my neck though.

The Tibetan Himalayan tiger is getting very rare because is you have enough money and wwant to shoot one the Chinese government will sell you a license for about a 1/3 of a million US$ and give you a platoon of the PLA (People's Liberation Army ) to help get your trophy tiger to hang on your wall. The soldiers often end up being bait so don't volunteer.

Poor Cody..has to put up with a walking ball of fur
Bubba the lobster dies after being moved to zoo
Thursday, March 3, 2005 Posted: 6:28 AM EST (1128 GMT)
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- He dodged lobster
pots for decades, endured a trip from the coast of
Massachusetts to Pittsburgh and survived about a week
in a fish market. But a trip to the zoo proved to be
too much for a 22-pound lobster named Bubba.
The leviathan of a lobster died Wednesday afternoon at
the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium about a day after he
was moved from Wholey's Market, said zoo spokeswoman
Rachel Capp and Bob Wholey, owner of the fish market.
"They're very finicky. It could have been a change in
the water. You have no idea," said Wholey.
Bubba died in a quarantine area of the zoo's aquarium,
where he was being checked out to see if he was
healthy enough to make a trip to an aquarium at a
Ripley's Believe It or Not museum, Capp said.
Bubba will be examined to try to figure out why he
died, although Capp and Wholey guessed it may have
been the stress of being moved.
Based on how long it typically takes a lobster to
reach eating size -- about five to seven years to grow
to a pound -- some estimated Bubba was about 100 years
old. But marine biologists said 30 to 50 years was
more likely.
Other large lobsters didn't fare well after they were
caught, too.
In 1985, a 25-pound lobster that the New England
Aquarium planned to give to a Tokyo museum died when
the water temperature rose and the salt dropped in its
aquarium. In 1990, a 17-1/2-pound lobster named Mimi
died just days after being flown to a restaurant in
Detroit. Last year, a 14-pound lobster named Hercules
that was rescued by a Washington state middle school
class died before it could be released off the coast
of Maine.
