Think You've Got A Big Dog?

This is Boomer, a Landseer Newfoundland. He's bigger than your dog. And forget it, he's bigger than your cousin's brother's dentist's ex-wife's gardener's dog too. He's 180 pounds and seven feet from nose to tail.


And that's Monday.

Like my new header? My design team of Sister, In, and Law is awesome. And yes, we know there's an ugly gap at the top but we (she) can't get rid of the title so we (again, not me at all) had to change the font to white and make it as small as possible. And, if you were by on Saturday and noticed all the text on my page had disappeared that totally wasn't me at all.

  1. what, I am first? now that is weird!
    Did boomer bury your other "us" son? You will have to answer to him one day why there is only one featured on the heading! but love the action photo!

  2. I don't believe that is a big dog. I think you're tricking us, it is a tiny dog in a miniature kitchen.

  3. That's a terrier in a doll's house, smartass....

    btw, what the hell is the name of this blog anyway???

  4. Dammit that's right: Us & Them. But only "us" is in the header. Jeez, talk about self-centred....where's "them"? Or did the tiny dog eat 'em?

  5. An acquaintance of mine long ago had a Newfie...it made even the St. Bernard look a bit on the small side. Big freakin' dog!

    It scared me. A little.

  6. Love the header. And that is one big a$$ dog. Is it yours?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I only just noticed the header is animated... Cool! I like. And that IS a massive dog. Saw it in the news the other day. Officially world's largest dog now I guess? I would not want to meet up with him on a dark night. Unless he was my horsie.

  8. Big dog!!!! I like the new heading it is very cute!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I think this dog is owned by someone near me. Which I'm only saying so that you will fill with envy.

  10. wait, that's a DOG??? oh sweet jesus.

    and, the header totally ROCKS.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Does that dog eat dinner at the table with the rest of the family?

    ReplyDelete
  12. That's not a dog. It's a horse in a dog suit. Like the new header!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Love your new header!!!

    That is a huge dog; I'd have to put him in uniform and make him work around the house. For his keep, ya know.

    ReplyDelete
  14. That's more like a pony! (Like the new moving header too!)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Cool header, man! Let's here it for talented family members!

    Dog? Kind of scary big. We had neighbors growing up that had a Newfoundland dog. Big and slobbery are the two words that come to mind. Do the boys try to ride him?

    ReplyDelete
  16. That is a gorgeous beast! Love the new header too.

    ReplyDelete
  17. My friends have a Tibetan Mastiff which, until I saw this photo, I believed was the the biggest dog on earth.

    When I see a big dog I always imagine having to shovel up there crap in the yard.

    Who would want this thing? Why not just get a horse or cow?

  18. Love the header!

    As for the dog, Im with mo.stoneskin ... faker!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Holy moly that's one ginormous dog!

    LOVE the new header! And *whew!* I thought I was going crazy when I stopped by over the weekend to no text. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Sorry, Braja's comment totally stole your thunder. The header is great though!

    ReplyDelete
  21. The new header is really cool. And the dog is downright AWESOME! Really, does he help you save money on your commute because you can ride him?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love the full action header! It's like a flip book.

    ReplyDelete
  23. OMG what a huge dog. What does he cost to feed. lol..

    Love the new header too.

    ReplyDelete
  24. That dog could totally eat the beast as a light snack!

    ReplyDelete
  25. OMG! I think Boomer must poop bigger than my dog. My Maltese is 4 lbs of fury (and yes, he's full grown). Sweet heavens I'd hate to have to clean up after that. My other two are a *slightly* obese (but don't tell her) 22 lb Pug and a 12 lb Pekingnese. Boomer's feet are probably the size of the other 2. Seriously? That's a dog? Is he yours?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Love the new header!! And I am not sure if it is completely sanitary to have a horse (that vaguely looks like a dog) in your kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Who needs a horse when you've got boomer? You could rent him out for birthday party, you know make a few bucks....

    I love the design team. They did an awesome job.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Like the animated picture— kind of reminds me of the old black and white movies.

    I went ahead and changed my design to fit the season. Currently I have Jack O lanterns, but will change my background as the seasons progress.

  29. I think it is you dressed up in dag's costume for Halloween practice.

    ReplyDelete
  30. The header is totally awesome. I hope she charged you a lot of Canadian cash for that. Also, didn't I hear somewhere that you were doing a HeRead/SheRead on Wednesday? Oh, yeah! With me!

    ReplyDelete
  31. LOVE the header!!! Its great the way it is - so no worries about taking credit where its not due *wink*

    That is one frikken big dog - I used to walk on a dog walk in Port Moody and Lynn Collier (from Global) would walk her Irish Wolfhound with us - and that was one BIG dog but this one is HUGE!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. that's a big fucking dog.

    love the new header. LOVE.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have a friend that has two Newfoundlands and a Great Mastiff. It’s a good thing her yard is five acres and totally fenced in. I do not envy her bill at PetSmart though.

    I love the new header, btw.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Please tell me he's getting his own drink of water. I love the idea so much I'm going to have a 2 foot high sink installed in my kitchen for our labradorks. Or, I could just keep leaving the toilet lid open.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I always liked a dog you could saddle and ride into town. At what point do dogs cross the line between canine and dire wolf?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Newfies are supposed to be really gentle, sweet dogs.
    And again, love the header!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh, I adore newfoundlands! They're so big and drooly!

    I bet the owners don't have to worry about anyone trying to break in....

    ReplyDelete
  38. All you need is a Kid, a Saddle and rope.

    The End.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Love the new heading...I see no gap, LOL!

    much love

    ReplyDelete
  40. That header rocks.

    And yes that is a horse. Do you sell trips around the block?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Can't fool me, I know that is just a mini kitchen there.

    You have to get up earlier than that Captain.

    Oh, and that header is way cool.

    ReplyDelete
  42. It's like a horse dog. Great header, by the way.

    ReplyDelete
  43. too bad he doesn't have thumbs - he could wash the dishes...or at least mop the floor....

    ReplyDelete
  44. Q. What does that dog eat for dinner?
    A. Anything it wants.

    ReplyDelete
  45. that is a very very big dawg.

    i cant imagine feeding it.
    take out a second mortgage.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow that itty bitty puppy is so dang cute. And your new header rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  47. wonder how many people have to help carry the poop bag! LOL!
    My oldest son is turning 29 tomorrow and his brother was born 17 months later. I put together a "SAM" photo book for his b'day ... he didnt have many alone after those first 17 months! So your younger son will appreciate the attention!
    Love reading yall!

    ReplyDelete
  48. your new header is like, so TECHNOLOGICAL or something. like, i don't know if i can, like, handle it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. That is one big ass dog. But I bet he's fun to shnuggle with. Yes, I said shnuggle. Love the new look!

    ReplyDelete
  50. The header rocks!
    And we had a great Dane, but he peaked out at 150, but he could eat off the table with no problem!

    ReplyDelete
  51. The new header is (dare I say it?)...tits.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Argh ... I can't see the header ... the photo must be on some blocked site ... I'll check it when I get home.

    That dog is HUMONGOUS ... I'm picking up my canine kids in the morning ... they're little cutie-pie-pumpkin heads. Not big at all.

    If I had a house ... I'd want a huge dog like that though ... it would just be hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Now THAT's an unwelcome house guest...but does he do dishes??

    Yer title is GREAT.

    More unsolicited advice... try looking for padding and decreasing it?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Shit dude! I LOVE that dog. I would totally get one!! He even appears to do dishes. Although, I gotta admit before I realized that was a rug, I thought he had made a bigger mess, which would indicate that perhaps he is not suitable for housework. BUT, it was a rug. I'm getting me one! SOO much better than a dingo - OR, frankly, our local guards. al-Qa'ida would be too scared to try to kill me!!

    PS love the header. That is really cool. It's like a movie. But kinda short.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Love the horse--er--dog. Love the banner. Sorry I've been away so long.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Love the new header!

    That dog is beyond amazing. Standing on his hind legs he'd be two feet taller than me. Good Lord, he's like a small horse. And probably costs as much to feed.

    ReplyDelete
  57. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new header!!!

    THAT is your dog?!?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  58. That's exactly the kind of dog I need. It's big enough for me to ride, and I'm big enough to pick up it's undoubtedly gigantic poo.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Great header. Really love it. And newfies? Are all pretty damn big. My parents have one, and she's so dang tall, she helps herself to whatever she wants off our plates.

    Obviously, she's not real well trained.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Holy fucking dog. That thing is HUGE. I love it. And I dig the new look, it's all move-y and stuff. Cool.

    ReplyDelete
  61. That header is awesome. That dog...seriously frightening. He's bigger than our neighbor's horse!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Holy cow, that's not a dog--it's a MOOSE!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Holy crap, that's a midget's kitchen, right?

    ReplyDelete

Come on, sailor. I love you long time.
