There's the real Koda with Sara. See? I told ya. I don't think that's a dog. I think it's an elephant in a dog suit. My St. Bernard had the same size head, but, with a St. they have long hair, so you don't see all those muscles. It makes them seem less scary. Not that Koda is scary, I was more afraid of scaring her actually. What a wimp that beast is. I want a portrait of my face with hers, that way you can see it's not perspective here. She's a beast. You notice how she won't look at the camera, even with them? She's terrified of cameras.
Grandpa Catfish pulled out of the river. I don't know that guy, but, I've seen 'em this big. This is what they call 'Noodlin', where you pull them out of a dark underwater hole with your hands or feet. My cousins are daring me to do it this weekend on our camping trip and I told them to fuck off. I value my extremities, plus, who the hell could fight that thing and not drown? They forget I'm female sometimes. They actually called me a pussy. Duuh. This is the stuff of nightmares.

Woh! I think I would stare at him - which from what you say is the absolute wrong thing to do. I do wonder how Koda will do when the new baby is in the house. Sara is lovely - very pretty! That is kind of a Beauty and the Beast photo.
I've only been fishing off a pier and nothing like that catfish is in these waters! Holy hell! Whats in the waters there?
It's such a f'g shame, big dogs live short lives. They are precious too. But that damn catfish is probably 40 years old and still going. How is that even fair? A catfish doesn't love you back and kiss you when you come home or want to snuggle. This is a sad picture to me. Your friends dog is a doll. a big one. But looks very sweet. I wish they could help her overcome her issues. Can they see very well? Maybe she can't see? So she's scared. I dunno. We think our white/wheaten Scottie has a vision problem. He needs glasses. Your friends dog would sure be hard on the furniture!

Awww Koda...you can tell she's just a big baby. I hope she lets you be her friend.
That's a cute dog. Like Fang in the Harry Potter series. Fang was supposed to be a big chicken, too. Harley is very social, but he doesn't like to face the camera, either. Most often a side picture is the best I can do.
How in heck does a catfish get that big, and how did someone catch it. Seems to me that if you are grappling with something like that, you are just as likely to be dinner for the fish, as wind up successfully bringing it ashore.
I admit to being a chicken. Seriously. Once, when I was in my early teens, we went out in our little boat, on Tillamook Bay. I had my bait in the water, and something bit. No warning, it took the end of my pole about 1 1/2-2 feet down into the water. About scared the pee out of me. Then it was gone. I am not sure if a seal grabbed my bait, or a shark, or big salmon, or killer whale, or what, but it scared me so badly, I quit fishing right there. I admit to being a little anxious just looking at that picture, and getting a brief flash of what it must be like to battle something like that. Unbelievable.

Connie, thanks, I think Sara is so cute. She's as sweet as she looks with lots of love for all the kids and animals. I think Koda will be afraid of the baby too, but, like Gabe and Lis, she'll warm up. There's zero danger there and that's what I was relieved about.
I don't know about those fish. We have deep dark water, undiscovered here. They hide there and get as big as a bus. I hate them. They make me sick.
Briezy, it's my challenge. I can make friends with any dog. I'll get there.
Rox, it isn't fair, is it? Anyhow, I watched Koda out the sides of my vision. She seemed to see fine. Who knows why she acts like that? Maybe I can find some reading on it.
Oh, their furniture is HUGE. Now I know why.
Christina, I never noticed that in Harley's pics. That's funny.
Those big catfish bite. Most of the serious hand fishing buffs are missing fingers or worse. My cousins have big scars. They've accidentally pulled out muskrats, beaver, snapping turtles and water moccasins. And they've nearly been drowned in tight places. It's fucking creepy. It's for crazy people.
ps..I forgot the big gar fish, they have serious teeth. There are nasty things in our rivers. We're going camping at the quarry. They're already scaring me with stories of the deep bottomless dark water and what lurks there. I'm pretty sure I'll get pushed off a boat. Little do they know, I am great at not drowing and I like deep water. I'm gonna go rock hunting.
I asked the guy that I work with about his Mastiffs. They are intimidating but harmless. He said they are so saggy and their skin is so heavy that it makes their lids droopy that way and doesn't affect their vision. They are just droopy. And it shows that pink or red lid tissue.
