Are you sure it's not a lion trying to pass himself off as a dog? ...... Like the weird take of this song. It works! ( much better than my jam which is rubbish...I don't think my critics have been harsh enough, really.... ) ;)
Btw Phil, sorry to get off the subject of dogs but something happened today & I thought of you. ...I saw the biggest spider I've EVER seen in England. Actually, I HEARD it first, its' feet pitter-pattering across our kitchen floor. What's happened to our climate to produce monsters like this? With leg-span, it was as big as my fist, it's body like a mushroom. Well, I went straight to our "emergency spider kit" which included a sturdy mug, some flat card & a mini-torch in case it hides..(CONT..)
...Well, you wouldn't need a torch with THIS beast. You could see it about a 100 yards away. Anyway, I slammed the mug onto it but he was too big & fast & I crushed half of his legs & part of his beefy body. I tried to revive the poor fellow but it was too late. But don't worry, I'll be giving him a decent burial in a matchbox......then again, looking at him, I think I better make that a shoe box..........
nice deep dark version - loving the liondog too. @debutch - that story reminds me of a Phil Jupitus sketch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n-kUOZk0A8
I think you've been involved in a nasty spider murder - tut tut!
@debutch That's got me scared now......the size of your fist?! Surely not! I'm in a panic now...please tell me you're exaggerating...
I was just reading a story the other day...well, I started reading it and then had to stop...they've apparently found a new spider somewhere or other ( I think The Amazon) ...the size of a puppy!!
@philipnareike Yer actual puppy-sized spider would be the Goliath Bird Eating Spider. Apparently it clip-clops like a tiny horse as it moves, hisses when threatened and has fangs an inch and a half long. Enjoy all that sleep you won't be having.
@crawtonleek Ha! Yes indeed. I once worked on a fruit and veg stall and when we opened up the box of bananas a huge beetle that was in there from Costa Rica or wherever jumped out!

@debutch . . . are you sure this wasn't a money spider?
debutch
@lindatee ...Never, Linda!... men may exaggerate about "man-flu" but when it comes to massive spiders, we have to man-up & face our fears.....
BeeBee

philipnareike
@BeeBee I'm glad we've an expert here to confirm it
