What is the one thing that shocks most people when you tell them?

I have a large Irish Wolfhound....who is very social and friendly and as gentle as they come....but it's hilarious to see the reaction of people walking little dogs when I say "Look, Riley....a snack"  as they approach....People rush to pick up their little dogs and dart the other way....

We get asked a lot of questions when we are out and about...like "what do you feed a dog that big?"  (answers we give frequently --  "neighbors that tick us off"...."annoying children"..."pets of neighbors we don't like"... "door to door salesmen"..)

But I think the best reaction ever was when a salesman came knocking at the door...Riley peered at him through the window...and with some hesitation in his voice, the young man asked if he was dangerous...I replied "The only time he has really hurt anyone is a guy that tried to break in our house, and a door to door salesman that ended up with 17 stitches"...the guy turned and ran.  LOL

My age. Most people are shocked to find out how old I am. When asked my age, they usually credit me with about 15 years younger

That, if you and your friends are running from a bear in the woods, you don't have to be faster than the bear - just faster than your slowest friend.
