  • This is Lappa!<br />
3/9/2010<br />
I met Lappa (Russian for "big feet") during a short walk at a nearby park yesterday.  His owner Alexander told me that Lappa is "a rambunctious, teen-aged Saint Bernard", and he was so right.  A beautiful dog, he was bursting with energy, and had no trouble leaping such that he and I were eye to eye (I'm 6'2"!).  Alexander was camera-shy but as you can see, Lappa was not.

Thank you all for the comments on yesterday's "pencil sharpener".  The orange color was a reflection from a stack of construction paper that stood to the left of the sharpener.
