Far be it for me
to anthropomorphize a dog, but...Larry does have a rather unique personality.
Even if Larry could talk I doubt he would go for the cutsie quotation marked
messages. It is a stretch for him to wear his Halloween costume.
So this is simply a series of true stories that only another dog or cat
people would enjoy. If you aren't a pet person - don't bother.
This is Larry. His nicknames are Sir Lawrence, Monkey Butt, Sweet Baboo,
and "you little sh*t"
Racing Name: Curly Larry Moe
Born: April 1994
Retired: 1996
Adopted: December 20, 1997 by Annette Simmons
One ear sticks up and one lays back. It gives him a "Robin Hood" look
that I think is rather dashing.

 Two
ears up at the same time is a sure sign that someone has said either "walkies"
or "eat" his two favorite words. We have to spell. Now he has learned
"want." So to indicate to another person that I want to go for a walk
goes something like, " Do you w-a-n-t to go for a w-a-l-k?"
 Larry
endured his devil costume only because he discovered that trick-or-treating
children loved him in it. Larry loves to be loved and is shameless about
that fact.
He is equally shameless about loving to sleep.
 When
visiting my friend Pam in Atlanta, Larry was allowed on the couch. (not
like at home) One evening Pam and I were on either side of the couch with
our feet tucked under us. There was no greyhound-sized room left on the
couch. Larry put a paw up, indicating his desire for us to move over and
waited. We didn't move. He put another paw up. He is a very polite dog.
We didn't move. Politeness wasn't working. Ever adaptable he went to the
door and whined. Pam got up to let him out. He let her get to the door,
went straight to the couch, took her place and curled up self-satisfied.
Typical of Larry, he avoided eye contact for long enough to see if his
ploy worked.
