This is apropos of absolutely nothing, but in light of our discussion on enlightenment I believe I'm free associating. So you have a Great Dane? My wife and I were about to get one from a breeder friend two years ago when we were adopted by a runaway Border Terrier, who now controls our lives and brooks no competition from other dogs, no matter how large. Many years back, a former girlfriend had an enormous black Great Dane that she called Satan. For some reason, he adored me and made a habit of bringing me the small game, squirrels and such that he killed in the woods behind the house. I would wake up to find a dead squirrel laying on top of the covers at the foot of the bed. Another endearing habit he had was to jump the fence and go about a mile to the local Burger King where he would stand on his hind legs and extort Whoppers from whomever was working the drive through window. After their initial shock, they got to like him and would feed him, then call to let us know he was there. His best trick, the one that made him famous in the local community, (Cheyenne, Wyoming)was that if he arrived at the Burger King and there was a line of cars at the drive through, he would take his place at the rear of the line and slowly work his way to the window without ever breaking line. On a good day, they could get a bark out of him by calling his name through the two way outside microphone. Sadly he was hit by a truck on one of his Burger runs. I still have a video (Beta max) taken of his entire performance that folks say that I should send to America's funniest home videos but that feels too much like trivializing a good dog. Enough free associating, back to the fray.
