I was at a friend's apartment yesterday. When leaving, my baby Great Dane told me he needed to go potty. Well, at 8 weeks, when his body says now it means NOW. So, I stop at a grassy area over to the side away from any apartments and let him do his thing. A Jeep with two men pulls up and they get out. "oh, what kind of dog you got there?" says one. I smile and say he is a Great Dane. So he proceeds to say "Ummmm....no, I don't think so. I had one once and that doesn't look like a Dane to me." I think "what a moron" and politely say "Well, he has natural ears"(and will continue to, BTW). He says "Yeah, but what color do you think that is? Looks like he might be part Harlequin?" I simply look at him like he has had tapeworms invade his brain (or is it roundworms that do the brain thing???) and say "Ummm.....OBVIOUSLY he is a Blue Merle." *SIGH* So for those who said there would be some not so smart who would accuse him of being mixed because they just don't know their colors.....It has begun.
