Meet Marmaduke!

Okay, so his name is Clyde and he’s an 8 month old yellow lab. He looks more like a Great Dane to me, but hey, he is what he is. Bill had a co-worker ask if we’d watch his 8 month old lab puppy while he worked out of town a couple days. This wasn’t exactly what we were expecting!!

Unfortunately, no one at our house appreciated Clyde as much as he would have like them to. Mad gave him a lot of ‘advise’ to stay away, but he didn’t read it and couldn’t keep his nose out of her ‘private area’. Thus, Mad would hide behind us when they were together.

Seeker was fine with him as long as there was a ball involved. Seeker chased the ball, Mamaduke, um, I mean Clyde would run after him, all was good. He was so much larger than Seeker we just didn’t even try to have them loose together in the house.

Same with Kruz, too much size and age difference. Kruz did end up in the kitchen with him at one time, all we heard was the scream. No blood and the scream was Clyde. Apparently Kruz was a little more forceful with his warning than Mad was.

He didn’t understand that close doors couldn’t be pushed through with his head. He ran into numerous doors, I don’t think he even noticed they were shut. I hope the other puppies in the litter got the brains! G

He would literally hang over the baby gate in the kitchen, which is 36” tall. All our dogs would disappear into the back bedroom. Apparently it’s true, “outta sight, outta mind”!

Last night, Clyde went home. The house was amazingly quite! He’s a nice dog, but HUGE! He’d really benefit from some obedience classes.
