The Great Dane Social Register of AZ.

Since Zoie has become the social butterfly, I find myself meeting a lot of new people, both at our local park as well as online. At our park there is Leslie, Bella's owner. Leslie doesn't wear a wedding ring and is extra friendly to both me and Zoie. Bella is a Chocolate Lab and is a submissive female. Whenever she sees Zoie, she comes up wagging her tail and immediately flips over onto her back. I just wish Leslie would follow her example.

This morning, bright and early a lady friend called me to see if Zoie and I wanted to go for a walk in the desert. We did! I quickly showered and drove over while Zoie felt she was ready to go sans the shower. We arrived and my friend lured me inside with coffee. After a few sips of heavenly brew, we readied the K-9 patrol to get into the Expedition. With a a flying leap, Bob was successful on his first attempt while Zoie needed a little assistance. After lifting Zoie into the car, bumping my head to where I believe I saw the North Star, I climbed into the driver's seat while Zoie whined her complaints about being forced to ride in the car again, not her favorite pastime. The desert is pretty close to Marsha's house, maybe 5 minutes or less. Parking, we let the dogs out and we were off. Marsha warned me that people aren't too friendly to unleashed dogs around there, but they are both so well behaved, I didn't see it as a problem. The four legged crew took off and were having a ball and it was only an elderly couple that seemed a little intimidated by the loose duo, but since the dogs completely ignored them it was fine. Most people grow big grins on their faces when they see a Standard White Poodle and a Mantle Great Dane as couple. When Zoie and Bob see another dog, they approach and sniff the other dog's nose and go about their business. It seems to be K-9 etiquette. As we walked along, we chatted and Zoie and Bob were happy as "two loose dogs in a desert". Suddenly, without warning, we approached a couple of women walking a dog on leash and our 2 approached the friendly female Golden Retriever, who immediately flipped over on her back to admit submission to the two larger dogs. That's when the "old bitch" lost control and screamed, this is all your fault! With that she jerked her leash and pulled the leash over the Golden's head and totally freaked!!! Now picture this. A woman in her 60's is bent over with her over sized ass shooting up towards the moon, wearing Kulots and a sun brim visor thing, with over sized sun glasses and an attitude, yelling at us, "if you'll just leave...."? Marsha obeyed the command, while I turned and told her in plain English that she ought to rethink her outfit! Exasperation is the only word that comes to mind, as she stared on, as we exited the scene.

I just got a call from Dawn, that I met last night online when I noticed that she owns a pet shop here in Scottsdale and was pretty attractive. We IMed for awhile and then when that got old, I gave her my phone number and it took about 3 1/2 seconds before my phone rang. Now catch this. She not only owns a pet shop, but is owned by a female Great Dane named Zowi! What were the chances? We were on the phone for a full 4 hours last night and we're meeting in about 30 minutes for a Great Dane play date, for she and I. We'll bring the dogs too.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet
my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away
your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you
could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Hi! I hope you don't mind but I decided to post your weblog: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2958539800206731902&postID=8529499628391904081 to my internet directory website. I used, "Blogger: Things I've Left Behind.
..." as your website title. I hope this is okay with you. If perhaps you'd like me to change the title or remove it completely, email me at jonimccurdy@gmail.com. Appreciate it.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post
to let you know. The layout look great though!

Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks

Hey there. I noticed your site title, "Blogger: Things I've Left Behind...." doesn't really reflect the content of your internet site. When composing your site title, do you believe it's best
to write it for Website positioning or for your audience?
This is one thing I've been battling with simply because I want good rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for my website visitors.

Exploring delicious.com I noticed your site book-marked as: Blogger:
Things I've Left Behind..... I'm assuming you book marked it yourself
and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a bunch of targeted visitors?

I've been looking at doing some bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't sure if it would generate any positive results.
Appreciate it.

When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to
start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this
site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and
I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it
can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
