Wednesday Afternoon

[nightdog_barks]

Much better this afternoon after getting out and running some errands, one of which was going by PetsMart and buying a new food and water dish for WHOEVER joins us. Whomever? Eh. Anyway, I found myself petting a sweet and friendly young dog who slobbered all over my boots and seemed to have the head of a MASTIFF grafted onto a slender Black Lab body. You guys, this pup's head was MASSIVE. You could've plowed a field with this dog's head! Cleared brush! Pounded nails! (Actually, Hammer would have been a good name for this dog.) The owner said he was six months old and weighed 58 pounds, and I thought (but didn't say) that it must have been all in his head. Hopefully he will get some ... proportions as he grows, but right now, as Blackmare said, he's Frankenpuppy. :D

Then! Running my other errands, I saw what looked like a cross between a Golden Retriever and an Irish setter, a beautiful brown Siberian Husky, and a yellow Lab. SIGNS. PORTENTS. HINTS AND ALLEGATIONS.

I love Golden/Setter mixes.

It's definitely WHOEVER, not whomever.

Thank you! Is there a rule for usage? Because I can never remember which it is.

The difference is subject versus object. I.e. if you are discussing the subject then it is who, if it the object then it is whom. I was taught that it is simpler to recall by substituting s/he and her/him in the sentence. If one would use "s/he" then it's who, if "her/him" then it's whom.

I looked at some mastiff-lab photos online, and yep, HUGE heads. Hammer would indeed be an excellent name. :D

I am glad to hear that you are feeling much better and enjoying the canine life around you. :)

When the time is right you'll find the right dog, and you'll know it's the right time because it will be the right dog.
