North Dakota Woman's 7-Foot-Long Dog 'Boomer' Could Be Record-Holder Friday, October 09, 2009 CASSELTON, N.D. — Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world's tallest living dog. Owner Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family's eastern North Dakota farm house. Boomer stares into car windows eye to eye with drivers. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound canine a couple of weeks. Weber says her furry black and white dog "comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around." Weber plans to send Boomer's measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 4-foot-tall Great Dane that died this summer. At 7 feet long, Boomer, pictured here with owner Caryn Weber, might be the world's tallest living dog. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,563122,00.html?test=latestnews

I went out to dig sweet potatoes and discovered this little guy. September and October is the mating season for tarantulas. I’ve seen 23 gather together doing the tarantula thing. That’s my hand and foot they climb up my arm, but I’ll relocate them when they get to my neck.

They must be inquisitive if they are checking you out. Wow! If you see the 23 + can you snap a shot?

Dolphie, that is one big ass dog. Amazing isn't it! He appears to be a gentle giant though! Look at his face. Can you imagine keeping him in food? Forget having food on the counters - he probably appreciates that he does not have to reach down to eat!

It was a few years ago I saw the gathering of 23, I walked in the middle to see how friendly they would be, and they continued doing the tarantula thing and paid me no mind.
I think they like the warmth of the human body they keep crawling around, I draw the line when they try to crawl up my sleeve or down my shirt

Can you imagine keeping him in food? It's the exit of all that food that would concern me, but he does look like a gentle giant.

Maybe this is the best thread for ugly animal pictures. Sorry about the quality, but my new point and shoot camera doesn't have an optical viewfinder and that makes it more difficult to hold steady. I also didn't want to get too close to the ugliest squirrel I've ever seen. For size reference, the squirrel is about two feet from the half inch pipe with the white cap that's in the foreground.

That's the ugliest frigg'n squirrel I've ever seen. Shoot it, pickle it and sell it to a circus. But one must wonder what's going on in your yard. Anyone in your family loosing their hair. Maybe your house is radioactive.
