Doggie-land

I have 2 dogs to play with each time I go for 2 particular lessons.

One is a Beagle and is extremely noisy. Last week, it dragged my bag from the chair, by its handle and took my tissue packet from it. I had to wrestle the tissue packet from it but I had a near-scare when it got entangled with the bag's handle. I feared more for its life than for my bag. If it got strangled by the handle, I wouldn't be able to live it down. I tried to gently remove the handle but I couldn't . Thank goodness, the maid removed its leash so it was free of the bag.

Another is a snowy-white and furry Maltese who likes to play. It jumps and wags its tail with its tongue hanging out of its mouth. It is extremely adorable.

I also pass by dogs on my way home. I see a Siberian Husky, a sausage Beagle and two Alsatians among others. :)

My student had to do research on the unusual. She told me about the world's biggest dog Gibson, who lives in USA and is a Great Dane. He's absolutely adorable and well-behaved when he has to travel by plane to talkshows or radioshows in different states. He's actually taller than Shaquile O'Neal, the basketballer when he stands on 2 legs.
