Harley (a.k.a. Marmaduke) and Uno Update

Dan kept saying that Harley looks like Marmaduke.
I guessed Marmaduke was a dog, but didn't know what he looked like.
So I finally Googled the word Marmaduke and up came Wikipedia came up with this cartoon......

According to Wikipedia he is a Great Dane.
Harley Boy is a seven month old Mastiff that just thinks he is a lap dog, just like Marmaduke. He has no idea how big he really is. We know this because he tries to sit on Dan's lap and thinks that when he jumps up he isn't going to knock you over. This has been a real problem with little kids and Uno just eggs him on.

Ever since Uno got run over by the Tap-Tap in front of our house we have been trying to think of a way to "calm" him down. We have been talking about getting him "fixed". We thought this needed to happen since he thinks screaming children with arms flying in every direction are play toys he should be tackling.
No harm meant, he is a dog. But it lost it's cuteness months ago.
Our second clue was when Corrigan used our dogs in a sermon. This would have been a honor but the message was about the Lord not giving us "the spirit of fear", like happens at the Lynches house when you are three and come in the gate only to be pounced on.
We could get it.
Pretty soon our hand full of friends would hate us.
The writing was on the wall and Uno's days as a stud muffin where numbered.

Maddie says, it is just wrong to have a dog with a bucket on his head.
But, for the next week, until he gets his stitches out, he is lovingly going to be called "Bucket Head". I am sure the Haitians think we have lost our minds using a perfectly good bucket on a dog like this.

Oh, just in case you are wondering.....
No, it didn't stop him from running out the gate!
His first day home, he was out the gate checking things out, that was after Harley Boy pulled the bucket off.

Yes Harley does look like Marmaduke but he has that pointy bump on his head.
Uno is an amazing dog. He is such a pest as he goes through his day getting in trouble and enjoying himself. Man, I would like to be like Uno.
