When i was in college I was a nanny for 2 doctors. they had a 7 yr old AND an Irish Wolfhound just like these. That dog was a show dog and He took ME for a walk.
He towered above me when he was on his hind legs.
OH and i did have the pleasure of scoopin his poop
There was so much of it i had a shovel and at the back of their property they had some underground toilet that you put the poop in. I hated that part.
you stepped on a lever and a lid opened and you just dropped it in the tank.
I had to hold the food bowl in my lap for him to eat because he couldnt reach the floor.
I microwaved the can food and mixed in the dry kibble.
I used to think they were crazy but now that i am a yorkie mom i totally understand..lol
