Me: Do you wanna hear about the dream I had last night?
Joe: Sure.
Me: Well. I was looking through all these dogs that needed to be adopted, right?
Joe: OK.
Me: And there was this one dog. I don't know what kind of dog it was but in my dream I kept calling him a Norwegian Elk Hound.
Joe: WTF? Is that even a real dog?
Me: I think so? I don't know what they look like but Mulder talks about one in an episode of The X-Files.
Joe: Oh, of course.
Me: Anyway, it was just one of those really big dogs with really long legs and a kind of a pointy, fuzzy face? Like, if it put its paws on your shoulders, it'd be taller than you.
Joe: Like Marmaduke.
Me: Sure, whatever. Anyway. This dog's name was Mutt.
Joe: OK.
Me: And he only had one eye! So I wanted to adopt him.
Joe: What?
Me: And we were really worried about Max not liking him because Mutt was a boy dog but we introduced them to each other and Max loved him!
Joe: Aww.
Me: So that's what I dream about now. Adopting one-eyed dogs named Mutt.
Joe: I love you.
Me: ANYWAY. I'm going to get on Petfinder today and see if I can find a giant, one-eyed dog named Mutt.
Joe: Um...
Me: COME ON WHAT IF I FOUND ONE WE'D HAVE TO GET HIM.

OK, after Googling pictures of Norwegian Elk Hounds, I can safely say that is NOT the kind of dog I'm looking for.
I'm not Mutt BUT I'M SO PRETTY. |
This dog looks more like Mutt, only Mutt only has ONE EYE, remember? Please remember, you have to help me find him.
This could be Mutt's relative, who knows. |
For your reference, here is what Mutt probably looks like currently. Be on the lookout!
Arrrrrrrrrr, matey! |
You make me laugh Jennie...I can also point out that one of the dogs my mom had looks just like "Mutt"...well, without the eye patch anyway...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am STILL laughing...P.S. I will keep on the lookout for Mutt! :)
I expected...not that from a Norwegian Elk Hound. (But it's super adorable, so I think you should get one anyway.)
ReplyDeleteMom, thank you! I look forward to one day owning a dog with an eye patch.
ReplyDeleteGretchen, I'm not going to lie to you...I was sort of hoping that with a name like ELK hound, it maybe had horns or something.
I bet you could get on a waiting list for one-eyed dogs at your local shelters. They probably also have waiting lists for three legged dogs like Champ, because who didn't want a three legged dog after seeing Champ? Everyone, that's who.
ReplyDeleteOh man. Champ is THE BEST.
