My former chiropractor told me about a time she had gotten a Leonberger (not sure of the spelling) puppy. This breed grows to the size of a small pony. Ike was getting under foot while said chiropractor was preparing food for a wedding reception. She had put a cake out on the porch to cool off. Forgetting that she had put the cake out there, she also put Ike out there to keep him out of the way. A couple hours later, she realized Ike and the cake were in the same space. There was a very happy Ike with icing on his muzzle, tail wagging, and a cake now decorated with a couple of dog furrows. She also couldn't scold the dog. It's hard to get mad when you're laughing.
