Hello, and Welcome

Hello! And welcome! My name is Hagrid - I'm a German Shepard. Not one of those fake American Shepards, but a real live German Shepard.

I've decided to start this blog in order to better communicate with my humans, who think that my whining and talking is mostly pointless. Little do they know that I'm trying to have a conversation with them.

A little bit about me: I'm 8 1/2 years old, male (obviously - with a name like Hagrid? I mean come on...) tall, and generally well-mannered. I was trained to be a Guide Dog for the blind, but I was never matched up with anyone. Mostly due to my height, or so I'm told. So I took early retirement, and now spend my days trying to relax. Which is not as easy as it sounds, trust me. I'm a dog, I know these things.

So those are the basics. I'll try to stay current with my posts, but you know how it is. Between trying to type with my paws, shedding all over the keyboard, and needing to stop in order to groom myself, life can get pretty busy. Plus, I'm only supposed to do this when my humans are gone, so I've got to pick my time wisely. But I'll be around.

Yours in sticks and bones,
Hagrid

  1. Hagrid,
    Can you submarine in the snow? Maybe you and Orion can practice and send some pics after the next snow and some well deserved post-excursion rest. Have a broccoli stem from your mom and remember me as I do you when I cook your favorite.
    Play bows and chases,
    Your old human alpha2
