I don’t know who she’d sound like, but she has quite a wail on her when she goes into frantic mode (i.e., someone or something is outside that she wants to get to).
She thinks she’s kind of sexy though, so she might sound like Kathleen Turner.
And her eyes are most often saying, “Is it time to eat yet? Is it? Well, is it?”
This is purely speculation on our part, but Guinness’s tail was professionally docked. We believe someone thought they had a litter of either cocker spaniel or rottweiler puppies. When she turned out to be neither, she was put out in January in an upscale neighborhood (a common practice, as dog droppers think affluent people are more likely to take in a stray or pay to get the dog put down).
She has some of the markings of a rottweiler, and the size of a cocker, but to me, she looks like a lab puppy. So while one parent was a single breed, the other parent may have been a mix of two of those breeds. Her ideal weight is around 30 pounds.
The woman who found her is a good friend and former coworker of my friend Lynne. A.U. took her in, but she has a Jack Russell who was NOT amused. Our dachshunds had died in August 2000, and we got Margot in September, always intending to get a second dog. When Lynne told us about the found dog, we took Margot over to meet her. They were immediate friends. I think in the six years we’ve had them, they’ve had one disagreement. They love each other. And Margot crate trained Guinness for us.
They remind me of each other, too. I think because Guinness has some spaniel in her. And also because while sweet, she’s not a genius. I say that, but then again, she seems to get most everything she wants, so she’s not as dumb as she pretends to be.
Our goodboy was a drop. We lived on a farm and we in one year had 17 different animals dumped in or around our driveway.
I saw him walking around in the field and took a lawn chair out in the yard with a book and just sat there. It took him a few hours of circling me to get close enough for him to smell me and let me pet him. He then followed me into the house and we had him for 11 years till his passing a few weeks ago. He was around 15.
She has the best “please, sir…love me?” face ever. If I’d known yesterday was a special occasion for her, I’d have given her so many more skritches last night!
Sweet, glossy Guinness.
If she had a voice, an actual human sounding voice, who do you think she would sound like?
I love those eyes. So sweet but saying, what now?

That’s funny, because I’ve always thought she’d sound like Victoria Jackson.
awww – she’s so sweet!
what kind of dog is she?

ah, a mutt – the BEST kind!
and she’s only around 30 lbs? huh. for some reason i thought bigger. terrribly sweet story too. 😉
Well, she’s SUPPOSED to be around 30 pounds. Right now, she’s having an Elizabeth Taylor “buxom” year…
HAHAHHAHA
well, who doesn’t occasionally?
I know! I’ve had about seventeen of them now.
So sweet!
She makes me think of Phoebe with that puppyish look to her.

She’s adorable! I have a black lab/border collie mix who looks a lot like her.
aaaaaaawwwww puppy!!!

He’s so lucky he found you.
People who mistreat animals (including dropping them) are on the lowest rung of humanity in my opinion.
