Arrival Story: My brother had a St. Bernard/Lab mix named Fazer. Fazer was diagnosed with a rare cancer at the young age of 6. He was my brothers ears (he's deaf) and his guardian angel many times. I had grown very close to Fazer, my brother allowed him to spend summers with me. When the time came to let Fazer go my brother couldn't do it so the task was left to me. It broke my heart to lose him and such a rare breed I would never see again.
6 years later my sister called from Idaho and said there's St. Bernard/Lab puppies in the paper. She got two and there were none left. I was devastated. A week later she called saying a man had returned one of the males. I grabbed him that day and I will never let him go.
Quinton is very special, he has one white paw and a white mark on his chest that looks like an angel. What a blessing my Quinton is.
Bio: My mom adopted me for $35.00. SO far, with all my vet bills, mom has invested thousands. She says I've been one expensive boy......she wants a return on her investment.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
Mom had to run me to the emergency room at 11:00 pm. I was so sick, running a fever and vomiting. The doctor said I probably ate something I shouldn't of. As we were leaving the hospital I threw up again so the doctor made me stay in the hospital for 3 more days. I spent all my time sleeping next to the doctors desk because I was a bad boy in the kennel, I chewed up 3 IV's, two catheters and ate one Elizabethan collar. My belly is better now and I'm back to my ol' self again. Still a mystery as to why I was so sick.
Love,
Quinton
My Tail of Devotion for Quinton (Irish: Fifth Child)
Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?
Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the "Chrysler Eagle" the " Chrysler Beagle"?
Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog.
1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.
!
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying "hello".
8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table .
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing
P.S. Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?
