My Irish Wolfhound, "Grinch" was the best dog I've ever had. He was funny and kind, and had a huge heart full of love for his family. He was 7feet tall when he stood on his hind legs, and he weighed 165 lbs. They have no clue that their body is huge, and insist on being a lap dog, even when they have grown as big as the couch. They are rough on furniture and breakables, as they have a whip tail that can fling a glass vase 20 ft. Other than that their only flaw is that they only live to be about 7 years old. My beloved Wolfhound has passed on, but someday I will find another that will touch my heart and I will be proud to call him "friend." facesthebadger@uninets.net
