I can be intimidated by large dogs. I trace it all back to that early morning run in with a huge German Shepard while delivering papers. He got his teeth into me good! A few years back, I was introduced to my friend Gary's shepard up country. That dog came tearing down a dirt driveway at me, spiting up all kinds of dirt and rocks. For a split second, I didn't know, if he was just glad to see me or if he envisioned me as his evening meal. Luckily, other than his hot, barking breath on my fingers all was for naught. This wolfhound, yesterday, looked friendly enough, and if I had any issues I'm sure this little gal, decked out in her greenery, would have come to the rescue.
As you can see too.
I was a rather brisk March day.
Happy St. Paddy's Day to all!
Oddly, I think all of our local St. Patty's Day festivities have been canceled due to nearly a foot of snow. But I have no doubt many of my neighbors have nonetheless laid in ample supplies for the occasion. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are right, that little girl would have saved you if she had to.
ReplyDeleteIrish Wolfhounds are gentle giants; no-one has anything to fear from them!
ReplyDeletehe's beautiful!! i'm a big dog kind of girl!
ReplyDeleteSometimes one wonders who is airing whom!
ReplyDeleteCute dog and kid. That is a loving dog, though. Not to worry. Shepherds can be unpredictable. We had one years ago that was so protective we couldn't have anyone other than family in the house. Eventually, we gave him to a horse farm.
ReplyDeleteSt. Paddy's Day is a perfect reason to have a parade. MB
ReplyDeletebeautiful, giant dog!
ReplyDeleteOoh, an early dog bite can linger long in the mind -- ack.
ReplyDeleteWe had the same weather for our parade yesterday!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's an Irish wolfhound. A magnificent looking fellow!
ReplyDeleteThat dog is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteAn Irish wolfhound is the best sort to march in a St. Pat's parade. I'd guess that the little girl might have been able to ride him not so long ago.
ReplyDeleteBut the roads look like they were clear of snow. That is progress.
ReplyDeleteThat's one big pup.
