"... 180-pound 11-month-old red Tibetan Mastiff known as Big Splash, or "Hong Dong" in Mandarin, just earned the title of the world's priciest pooch.
The breed can grow to be 285 pounds, and according to the breeder, Big Splash is such a perfect specimen that the eyeball-popping price is justified.
It is believed the breed descended from wolves 58,000 years ago. ....In time, Big Splash might fetch $15,000 a pop to breed with a female.
Nothing like earning his keep."

*I recently read a story about Pet Names &
There are some 'No Nos'.. 1.) Never name your Pet Lucky.... because something
bad always seems to happen to Luckys
2.) Don't recycle names- Fluffy 1, 2, 3.. so on
3.)Be Careful about Pop Culture Motivations for Pet Names Example: Simba after Lion King/ Pug... or Hannah Montana/Lab
4.) Don't be dull: 'Snowball' for a White Dog or 'Smoky' for a Gray Cat
5.) Don't name your Pet after a something the FCC could fine you for...
*It's good to name your Pet after something they may fit or works for them..
That's what Ted & I did w/ 'Huey'..
*It wil be the 8th Anniversary coming up when we got Huey in Tampa, FL
over Memorial Day Weekend. Huey had a Brother, but we couldn't afford both.
They were called Bert & Ernie, I believe Huey was Ernie. I wasn't digging that Sesame
Street Name. Ted & I were driving over to sign paper work to get Huey, discussing names.
I wanted a Rocker name like Izzy or Ozzy! Ted said let's wait & see what 'He' Fits..
Well, while I was signing the paperwork. Ted was in a room w/ him sitting on a
plastic patio chair. Huey was underneath it trying to Jump in his lap.
He didn't make it to far kept bumping his head cause he didn't & wouldn't clear the
Chair. Ted was laughing & told me..Hey Honey, we need to name him Huey..
after Baby Huey-Cartoon Character...
HUEY FIT!!
... Huey has been a Big part of our family ever sense...
 It's been a Great 8 years w/ Huey, even if he's stubborn as all Heck. Good thing he's Cute.
Huey is getting ready to have surgery next Wednesday 5/26. He has to get a bump removed
from his eyelid so it doesn't affect his sight. Of course, I'm nervous. I want everything to
be okay for our 'Baby Huey'! So Good JuJu vibes are much appreciated! :)
Huey will send them back to ya!! :)
