Daphne, you are a beauty! You look very comfotable on your bed. Congratulations on being DOTD! I hope you have a fun day! :D

[Pam]

Oh what a face! What cute feetsies! (I love to hold my dogs' feetsies in my hand and your big ones would be so much fun to hold! ) Daphne I just love everything about you and your human has taken a terrific picture. What they have expressed in your short note is so true of all of us who love our pets:

As most of us find with our pets, their unconditional love is what elevates them to more of a family member than "just a pet."

Truer words were never spoken! Daphne we'd love to invite your person to join us here at PT because he/she would feel at home here with that kind of thinking. I hope you have a wonderful day, big girl, as you have surely started out mine with a smile.

Yes Daphne, you're right - Unconditional love.
I'm betting you're pooped out after serious day of hard work when this picture was taken.
Congratulations on Dog of the Day :D

Daphne...You are a beautiful baby. ;) I bet you are a joy to have around. You
look so sweet lying there like that. You can come and watch movies with me.
Congratulations on DOTD. Have a wonderful day.
A Dog Lover :p :p :p

Daphne is one of the cutest doggies ever. She just makes me want to hug on her. Love the paws. She looks like such a gentle giant. Thanks for my morning smile.

Daphne congrats on DOTD!! You are a beautiful girl. Have a great day. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Your loving human couldn't have said it better sweet girl. Your bio was written by a person who completely understands you and understands why we all love our pets so much. I agree with Pam. We would love to have your Mom/Dad join us here at Pet Talk as a regular member. He/She has the same way of thinking that brings us here every day. We would reap the benefit of getting to see more of you gorgeous girl. Congrats on your big day and we hope the celebration never ends. Happiness to you always Dear Daphne and please tell Mom/Dad to give you some mega kisses on that big, beautiful mug of yours for us :D :D :D :D :D

Love, Daisy and Delilah in Sunny Florida :cool: :cool:

[mrsbnatural]

Yay for Daphne! Congrats to a hometown girl! Maybe I'll get to see you on the street someday sweetie. :D Here's wishing you a nice looooooooooong scratch under the chin in celebration for being Dog of the Day! :p :D :cool: :) ;)

Daphne you are sooo big and beautiful, i was sooo happy to see your face this morning as Dog of the Day! Congratulations!

I just wanted to share this with you,

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the
distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours
have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel
slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a
dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave
me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably
understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a
promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and
patience that make me a better pern. Because of "just a dog" I will rise
early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and
folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and
dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of
the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my
thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a
dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a
man." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile,
because they "just don't understand."

Daphne, your face has made my morning! I, like Pam, would love to hold your feet in my hands and rub your long toesies!

I would also love to give you a big hug and kiss. What a beautiful, big girl you are. Congratulations sweetie.

[blue girl]

Oh, Daphne, how lucky you are to be loved so much! Thank you to your 'mommy' for reminding us all how special our pets are.....
Congratulations on being Dog of the Day!

[animallovernw]

Daphne:
What a "powerful" photo of you and powerful message :) :) :)
I am overwhelmed by both!
You are blessed to share a life with someone who understands to his/her core the meaning of unconditional love from ALL living creatures including beautiful dogs like YOU. ;)
It certainly sounds like "life is good" for you........ :D
We hope your day is fun and festive celebrating being our Dog of the Day. :p
Have a long wonderul life.

Good morning sweet gentle giant!

Well it looks like you've made quite a few friends here today Daphne, I do hope that your human decides to come to Pet Talk and share you with all of us:) It would be nice having another mastiff on the board (yep, my boy Bon is an English Mastiff also).

I love this part of your bio:

Unconditional love allows her to look past our socially dictated shortcomings as human beings and settle for what is truly important - a nice, long scratch under the chin.
That is so true. We are often talking about our dogs shortcomings, but what we really should be looking at is ourselves.


Well of course I could go on and on all day about love, pets and of course YOU, but I'll end my post now by saying thank you for being the wonderful dog you are!

I hope you have a truly terrific day girl:D


Any of you who would like to hold some BIG mastiff feet are welcome to stop by our place anytime! I'm sure Bon would love to have you (and of course so would we!)

[gjd4ever]

Daphne,
I just love your photo. You look so comfy. Happy DOTD to you. :cool:

What a pleasure it was meeting you today, beautiful Daphne. And what a pleasure it was reading your human's wise and heartfelt words, her touching tribute to you and the true essence of the human/canine connection. Yes, it is all about unconditional love, isn't it sweet baby girl? After many years of sharing my heart and home with dogs, I still am at a loss as to how to repay the unconditional love and devotion you amazing animals grace our lives with. Each and every day mine teach me, have taught me, what really matters in life, living and savoring every moment of life! What a blessing from God you creatures are! And just as your proud person, each and every day I give thanks for the blessing that is "just a dog." Congratulations to you beautiful Daphne, our most beautiful, most deserving DOG OF THE DAY! I too hope that you and your people will join us here on Pet Talk, to share with us her/his deep and abiding, unconditional love for you and canines everywhere! Big hugs and kisses to you, sweetheart! And Daphne, what Anna said...she means it!:)


P.S...Thank you wya4dogs...that was beautiful:)
