I get an email anytime someone “follows” this blog. There’s not much info in these emails: just a user name or email address. But most people use an email / user name that tells you something about them, and I’ve noticed that a lot of my followers are dog lovers. I presume these folks are lured in by my occasional posts about my Great Pyrenees, Bear. But I feel like I haven’t written about him much for quite awhile. So, I’ll just say this:

Whenever I’m out walking Bear, people always ask me about him. How much does he weigh? How much does he eat? Who’s walking who? But nobody ever asks if I get used to such a huge dog. And yes, I have gotten used to his size. He may weigh 110 pounds, but I’ve still got a 90-pound weight advantage over him. And after three years of seeing him every day, he’s no longer my giant dog, he’s just my dog. And I’m still his landlord.
