Parker is our black Lab/Great Dane mix. He is a clown, loves a joke and we love him madly. He plays hide n' seek with our grand daughter (I hide his eyes so he can't see where she went) and he finds her, I swear he is laughing the whole time. He sleeps in DH's lap in the huge recliner and they both snore. :love He watches over my 90 year old mother when she goes outside and is my constant companion when I am doing anything. Today I drove T-posts so I could stake the galloping tomatoes that are reaching for the sky. I got out some hay twine and started the first string. My mother came outside and I heard her laughing. I turned around to find Parker "helping."

Parker was having a HUGE time playing with the hay twine. I called to my husband and he came out to see the Parker Show! He started trying to untangle a strand of hay twine for me and Parker stepped up his "helping" efforts. DH, my mother and I rolled with laughter at this goofy, lovable dog.

parker is obviously a keeper. works in the garden, looks after your mom, and entertains you to boot. now that's a good dog.

Hay Bay, my boss is a fireman big cheese guy, and one time he saw me making a knot. Shoot, when you're an ole neanderthal, never let your fireman boss watch you make a knot, anyhow, he told me that if I was in his firefighting squad I'd be sent to 3 weeks of knot making school, lol! I kind of think Parker would get sent there too!

Good Grief leave to a dog! (Or grandchild) to help in such a fine manner. :)

my daughter was in the Coast Guard for a number of years. she told me, 'mom, if you can't tie a knot - tie alot'. parker has this down pat. i'm also one of the 'tie alot' group
