Technically speaking, a labradoodle is the small quantity of poo scared passers by evacuate into their trousers before they realise that the lion is, in fact, a closely shaved dog.

I did this to my cat but then forgot about it and then called the police because I thought I had turned into a giant and didn't want anyone to be hurt.

I had a reddish chow chow growing up, and thought he looked like a lion. So much so I tried to change his name to Aslan, but it never took.

I miss that mutt.

I hate dogs. My kids ask me to reconsider my anti-canine stance daily. If they knew that there was such a thing as a labradoodle with a lion cut my constant rejection of the dog idea would be way more difficult to maintain.

I'd totally train it to kill the zebra cut Yorkshire terriers the neighbours next door have.

Well talk about your half measures; he totally failed to train it to walk backwards.

If that dog wants me to call him a lion I'll call him a lion. Doesn't bother me.

"I tell people he's a Lab-a-lion, and half the people believe that."

I worry for the level of intelligence within my community. Then again, given the proximity to the zoo, weird things sometimes happen. Years ago when I lived in that neighborhood, I once watched from my front porch as an escaped emu ran up the street followed by zoo personnel.

For some reason I read that and could just imagine the zoo personnel chasing after him, "Oh come on Todd! Don't be like that!"

I'm not certain if Todd is a culturally, or species appropriate name to be honest, I'm pretty much just winging it on this one.

You should be ostrichsized for that pun.

Go ahead and have fun. Know what happens when you cry "Lion" too many times?

You could post a picture of your dog in your profile. (hint, hint)
