The fluffy one is maybe a Bernese mountain dog and the other a mutant Labrador?

I have a 120lb, extra-tall, yellow Lab. And an 80lb black one too. I cannot live w/o Labs or Collies. They only bark when necessary too.

Never owned a GP but my good friend has a house full of those beautiful critters. I love their huge heads. Bet your Mixed kid is especially smart & sweet.

They're the biggest, doofiest dogs on four paws. Sweet-tempered, loyal and highly protective. And yes, BIG. We had two big girls, Breena and Ruffian. They were the best!

Dyna (Moe Hum) was the sweetest, most gosh-darn dog I’ve ever had. She was medium smart but had a heart as big as the world. They don’t live long though. She only made it to nine. I miss her.

I know he is a proud conservative, but as a human being he seems more like us than most Republicans. I feel the same way about all the other never Trumpers on MSNBC, and Anna Navarro too.

He seems so... normal and trustworthy

Too bad he's not a Dem-- I believe he's registered as an Independent currently.

They're way too smart and discerning.

My granddaughter's rule? Never date a guy who her beagle doesn't like. If the guy doesn't pass muster, it's a no go.
