Our son wants to take Clifford back to California after his present 28 day hitch is over. Needless to say, we have bonded with the dog. So have all our friends. We don't want him to go so we are "protesting". I decided to have a little bit of fun guilt tripping Josh before he actually takes the dog. Incidentally, Clifford is a rescue pup. ![[Linked Image]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/3201822560_b3c0925898.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/3200972859_a851f8d772.jpg)

Kenneth, he's the best baby boy in the world. We have him spoiled rotten.

Tricia,
I just have to say that I have a cat (THAT THINKS he's a puppy, and acts like one) that is the "best baby boy" in the world... my wife will back me up on this one, she calls him that ALL THE TIME!!!.. so could there be TWO?!?!?! actually Clifford appears to have the same expressional attitude that my Thomas "the Mitz" has!!!!
I love ALL Animals ... harder to say that about people (I do but it's harder!)

I'm with you on that, Kenneth! And, yes, I believe there could be two best baby boys in the world. Clifford just loves to be loved.  He is the sweetest dog. He doesn't jump or chew or bite or lick people but he will give you a nudge so you'll pet him or give him a treat.

I thought Cliffords had to be red.

He has baby pink skin. Does that count, Joe?

Not hardly, Joe! Clifford weighs in at 90 lbs.

Tricia, compared to what I saw in my daughter's "Clifford the Big Red Dog" books (still got 'em, after nearly 20 years), if your Clifford is only 90 pounds, he's definitely "Clifford Light."

Joe, he's a big old sweet baby boy. He keeps things "light" around here, that's for sure and he attracts attention wherever he goes.
Josh got a big kick out of our picket signs! He says they aren't going to work. He's taking "his" dog home. I say we make more signs.

Could try a newspaper article Heartbreaking Story as Grandpa and Grammy try to avoid contacting Judge Judy in family court...as a family is split on what is best for Clifford, a beautiful dalmation mixed breed. Both the Owner,Josh, and Grandpa and Grammy love Clifford..and the family is in tears. Clifford takes the situation into his own paws, and decides split custody might suit him best...... Poorly written but you can fix it...Tricia hugs..to Clifford......(and you) kk

Kaley, I'm going to make the most of the next 3 weeks with Clifford. He did ask me to contact an attorney today while we were hiking in the woods. He said he didn't have a preference as to which one I should use, though. I really LOVE this dog.

He destined for the big time, yes Californ - i - a,
But Tricia is a beggin' dear Josh please let him stay,
Yes Tricia really loves him and just can't say goodbye,
She knows that he'll be happy under a Louisiana sky.
Oh Clifford, Oh Clifford,
Your torn between two states like tug of war,
Oh Clifford, sweet Clifford,
To say goodbye is too hard to endure.

Oh, Lynn! How CUTE! Clifford was born and raised in Californ-i-a.
