Defining "big"

We have a big dog. Abby is golden retriever/black lab mix... 70 pounds.. big enough to leave us little room when she sleeps on the bed. Yes, she sometimes sleeps on the bed. However, I've always said that if we got a second dog, I'd want a "big" dog-a Great Dane, a malamute, something like that...



Enter Entropy. Entropy is Abby's new foster brother... an Anatolian Shepherd, 150 pounds... gorgeous. He gives a new definition to the word "big". Now we know that Abby is actually small! Anatolians are from Turkey, where they defend sheep from bears... thus their size and strength. Entropy belongs to a family from church, who are from MN, but attending grad school at UW. Entropy had been living in MN with family, but the family needed a break, is getting older, and tired. So we have him for awhile. How long is awhile? Who knows, who cares! He's adorable! He's a giant teddy bear, he thinks he's a lap dog... he's funny. He's a mush, and Abby seems to be doing ok so far. So now we have a big dog!
