I have a black great dane. Hes pure breed, and black with white feet and chest.  
 
hes very old 8. That is very very old for a great dane. We go for walks every day and every one knows us....but his hip is starting to go and he cant walk as far.... If i can ever get a pic of him and me ill post it...Ha ha man im going to mis him when he gos. Im shure all of you dog lovers know what im talking about.  
 
any way any one else have a dog? I love dogs, and like i say the great dane is my personal favorite breed. If ever you see me ill have a dane with me or near me.  
 
but do any of you have dogs and of what breed??

Oh yeah i guess that some dogs would make a good primitive weapon too.  

I have a dog(Labrador retriever), cat, and occasional mice(until the cat does 'em in). I once owned a registered Tennessee Walking horse(Cromwell was his name). I loved to ride bareback, holding on to his black mane. It just seemed to strike a primitive cord deep in my soul.......

my last dog passed away 3 weeks ago... she was a  14 years old chihuahua named Nena, and sure i'll miss her a lot, i buried her near the place i usually go slinging kayaking and other outdoor activities... she's burried with my other last 2 dogs: Rintin a german shepard, and Sweety a chihuahua son of Nena. (sort of a primitive burial place?) i made sound  my bullroarer in their honour... and shed some tears too (sort of a primitive burial rite?)
This weekend i'll go with my wife 350 kms north east to get an 1 year old female geyhound from a dog shelter.
we can't live without a dog.
i love greyhounds, they are used for hare hunting and i read they were used as war dogs as well.
Other dogs along my life: Megan a female doberman, Reinita, an andalusian podenco, Basi a mix of german shepard, and Excalibur, a spanish mastin (mastin extremeño) they all were nice fellows and i still missing them all a lot.

Yesterday i got my new dog
she's a spanish greyhound named Leeloo Multipass
we traveled 740 kms 2 way to get her from a shelter. This morning we went to Genil river an had a long walk
Here's a pic of us under the sun.
 

Talking about the dog?  I think I like the weather and scenery better.  The weather here is already very autumnal.

I have section-hiked a lot of the Appalachian trail in the north.  I hope to do the whole trail someday, from Georgia to Maine.  And it's free, the whole 2100 miles (or whatever) of it.

yep i have hicked a little of the appalation trail. Not very far just a days walk in then walk out.  I too would like to walk the whole thing. My uncel has a cabben up iin the appalation clear at the top. I love to go there but i havet been there for maybe 4 years...I wish i could go agen but oh well....
