He or she might be a malamute or part malamute, or a Siberian husky or part Siberian husky, or a German shorthair or part German shorthair, or an Irish setter or part Irish setter, or a Targhee hound or part Targhee hound, or a cross between a random black-and-white dog and a junk yard mongrel.
Whatever the case, this dog is the essence of all that is best about the 49th state:
Nepal has just been through an 11 day festival called Dasain.
On one of the days, they pay their respects to dogs and cows.
Garlands, food treats and forehead spots called tika are called for.

I know, I know, big dominate dogs make folks think male, but she's just a female with attitude. Just like me. "Giggling." Don't worry, she does get submissive towards the correct males.
Our two dogs form a "dog committee" that often walks into the room together, goes up to a human, and stares expectantly. The dog committee has decided that it is now time for dinner, or a walk, or for you to take them on a ride in the car. They don't care where, the ride is the thing.
Yup. Mine do the same. They make you feel shame for not taking them out sooner.
Oh boy....I do fostering for Golden Gate Lab Rescue. When I get home I will be fostering Toby. Toby was rescued from a back yard and had been forced to wear a tight muzzle because of barking (primarily because of being left alone). The white marks on his muzzle are white hairs because of lack of oxygen caused the hair follices to die. The vet is not sure if it will grow back black. Why don't people just surrender their dogs to rescue organizatons sooner, rather than later?
Good for you Susan! I once had good luck teaching my dog not to bark with a barking muzzle, but NO WAY did it get left on him unattended. It was a training tool! Not a torture device.
On a lighter note, check out this video, it is super funny and cute.
