Originally posted by Merv-O Thanks: he is a big boy and I felt he needed an "adult" name...friends and family came up with names like 'Tiny', 'House', 'Cujo' (really? he's docile as a kitten), 'Biggie', etc....I chose Howard because thankfully, no-one in our direct circle of friends were named that (I borrowed my friend's baby book). Anyway, thanks for the appreciation of St. Bernards. he's my buddy.....
Haven't seen Howard for a while; how's he doing?
We had a big black dog that was half black labrador, 1/4 boxer, and 1/4 English bullmastiff. Double the size of a normal black lab; he looked like a lab on steroids (with a drooling habit). When he was a puppy, everyone said he was "so PRECIOUS!". (Funny how so many different people use the same adjective. Our present dog was "adorable".) But when Ruger was a big, scary 120 lbs., jet black with huge white teeth, I was thinking, "we should'a named him 'precious".
