Title: My funny dog

This is one of my Great Pyrenees "Zeus". He decided to knock the already loose window screen out of this out building, because he didn't think I was looking. Instead he got a little stuck!! If a dog can be embarrassed, he sure was! I had to take these photos before I helped the big goof out.

That's very funny  ;D  ;D  ;D
But he's a beautiful dog - I LOVE big dogs.
I had a german shepherd who used to regularly jump over our stable style back door to get out (never to get back in strangely enough !) he didn't even have to have a run at it, could do it from standing right in front of it - but this same dog could also open doors inwards, even one that had a circular handle  ??? Needless to say, he was pretty much free to go where he wanted - just as well he was well behaved  ;)

Great pics, he looks as if he is laughing at his predicament!

Do you mean he's a Pyrenean Mountain Dog?  How often do you shear them?

Yes, here in the states they are known as Great Pyrenees. I shear him and my female "Xena" two or three times a year. They are such big babies about the clippers, I have to do it with scissors! :o Now that's a big job. Here's a photo of "Xena" watching over a new baby camel.

I LOVE Pyraneean Mountain dogs. There used to be two TV shows that featured them when I was a child - " The Monroes" about a family in the Old West who had one called Snow and "Belle and Sebastian", which used to be on every holidays along with "The White Horses". I don't knwo if I would really like one but I love the idea of them.

I wouldn't like to look after that coat.  My Cocker's were bad enough - 4 hours the night before a show, hand stripping, bathing, drying and brushing.  And they got very hot, but I don't like to see them shorn either so I think I'll stick to my Brits - the old gentleman who brought them into the UK, our good friend, Stan Smith, said, when asked about grooming for showing  "wipe his face, wipe his bum and get in the ring!"

I had a red setter once who used to try and pee in the cats litter tray rather than go outside  ;D
