Gino, the Rottweiler, and Janie, his walker and I had a play date.
I had the pleasure of accompanying them to the park, and what a good time we had.
Gino and I played ball, walking to Bethesda Fountain to say hi to the angel that sits on top, while Jamie manned her phone, the one time I didn’t mind.
Gino is not only a magnificent athlete, he’s also quite the gentleman.
When a chihuahua called Pepino, got in his face yapping up a storm, he didn’t move a muscle. He was calm and collected, ignoring the tiny shit’s rude outburst. At one point, he did finally give him quite a look as if to say, don’t you know with one good swat of my paw, you’d be one sorry tortilla?
I was so impressed, not to mention charmed.
All I can say is…
what a guy. And he’s single…:)

I always think it’s so funny how little dogs act really big with all their barking until you actually make a move towards them and they run away and shut up immediately…but then start barking when you walk away again. A great metaphor for some people, I think.

I don’t think small dogs even realize they’re small. Talk about egos.

Look at that face….someone once told me her Rotti was the nanny. She was dead serious, and I couldn’t help but believe her.
One sorry tortilla indeed ….hahaha…so funny!
My little guy is always barking his face off at these big docile dogs. This is when I refer to him as Donald. “Donald! Stop with your big mouth! I get a lot of satisfaction from screaming that line.

Just love “one sorry tortilla”. Still laughing at that.
Smudge won’t go near black labs, due to an episode as a pup, when she stole the ball of one and he bit her bum. They all have to learn the pecking order.

He was a Rot but black as can be. Poor Smudge. Can’t say I blame her.
