DOGSPOTTING: Two Old Men

Well, well, well. What do we have here? A double dog of scragley guys loitering outside a Trader Joes in West-LA pandering for attention and head pats, that's what! I just could not resist their uber-friendly faces! These besties look like a couple of old surfer dudes relaxing on the sidewalk! I just love the personality and fur around their faces-- like little beards and unruly eyebrows. I am pretty sure they are Irish Deerhounds, but I am not totally sure because I certainly hadn't seen any dog like them before. They look an awful lot like Hickory, the most recent winner of Best in Show at Westminster, but they could also be Irish Wolfhounds. They were SO TALL, but lean with wirey hair just sort of tufting out here and there. For big dogs they were very un-intimidating, I think it was the aloof character in their faces. I think the dog in the first picture is smirking, and the one in the second picture is definitely saying "Hey!" Errr, well I mean, if they were people. Which I guess they're not.
