[Dailydrool] Big Feet and More

[Jill Beniak]

Cyrus's, the 8 month old bloodhound I co-own and lives part time with us, 
his feet measure 4 1/2 x 4 1/2.  That was with him lying down and struggling 
to pull his feet away, he thought I was going to dremel his nails.  He's a 
big boned boy and I'm sure they are larger when he is standing full weight 
on them.  I'll measure a paw print the next time we are at the beach.

Floyd says "yeah, tell me about it, somebody help me I have been out 
numbered"

Breaking up a dog fight:  a hose or a big bowl of water if there is no hose 
available is what I use.  I'd rather clean the water up from inside the 
house than blood and there is usually a filled water bowl handy.  Once they 
break up from the shock of being doused I grab the closest one to me by the 
scruff and drag it to a crate or seperate room.
