There were a few other dogs that I was cautious of - a huge Boxer that was just playful, and a couple of big Golden Labradors that were never walked so they were a bit nutty. We had quite a few street dogs who were let out in the morning and went home at night. These tended to be very friendly, more interested in finding the nice smelling female that was not far away...Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-28321848782540012702013-10-18T07:39:37.157-06:002013-10-18T07:39:37.157-06:00I admit that even I liked Fred.
