In 1996 I married a woman and it was probably a mistake, but from every union something good comes. In this case I learned a lot and acquired Bogie, my best friend, confidant and companion. Bogie is a 275 LB Great Dane that possesses a great deal of human qualities. He's sympathetic, understanding, reliable, and a great eater. His nickname, although he gets pissed off when I use it, is Cookie-Boy. Bogie LOVES his cookies. If you've never seen a dog that is almost 300 LB leap in the air at the mention of Cookies, you're really missing something.
When Bogie was young and frankly the years have passed since his days of puppy hood, I feared he would be lonely, so I bought him a dog of his own. An arranged marriage, if you will? Her name is Zoie and he is hopelessly in love with her and has never wandered without her, in the 8 years that they have been together. Zoie is Bogie's girl and that's just how it is. In their 8 and 1/2 year marriage, they have never fought once. They do give each other an occasional growl, but what couple that's been together that long hasn't?
Zoie is a medium height thin girl and she used to do some modeling. Although both Bogie and Zoie have been neutered, Bogie still gets that look in his eye when he watches her trot across a field. With her tail always wagging, she is very light on her feet. Zoie is a black girl with some Boston markings. The Great Dane people call her a Mantle. Bogie is a spotted harlequin and quite a bit larger than his comrades. I used to use a 26" collar on Bogie, but unfortunately it no longer fits. He resembles a small Holstein bull. As the Dynamic Duo get up in years, I often wonder what I'll do without them.
With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up this week, rest assured they'll be close to the kitchen..
