Lol. That’s a great story! They should use you for a commercial.
Find dog. Best friend I ever had. Fight to the bitter end, 14.5 years. On her last morning, she still couldn’t use those back legs that were getting weaker by the day. She crawled across the floor to the water bowl. Bodily functions were leaving her. Saddest thing I’ve ever done was have to put her down. She would be Winston Churchill, or FR Jim Thompson if she was a person. Flew in a bonanza, flew in the king air, flew on a PC 12. Swam in an ice cold River at the top of Donner Pass, sat there squinting in the glare on Bonneville salt flats, got nine bites, mostly warning nips. Had to go somewhere else and lay low from the law on two occasions. Chase rabbits, prairie dogs, a deer, and tried it once on a goose that squared off and charged right back. Saw her wandering in the field about 5 feet away from a coyote and they were both just looking at things on the ground hunting. Two weeks before she died I made her a tomahawk steak, cut it up just right four and left a very generously trimmed bone 2 feet long that looked like something Fred Flintstone gave Dino.
She got to work at the airport with a couple of forest fire planes the last eight years of her life. Learned to walk along the wing tip as planes were getting to put away. Visited nine states in the west. Visited Custers battlefield. She preferred red chili. Chili heat didn’t bother her, but oven heat would make her barf. That dog left a hole in my heart. I guess I’ll go ahead and close this one out, my screen is getting blurry. But yeah, she never met cheese she didn’t like.
I had her before I met my wife. One of the best things she did was make my wife just shake her head in incredulity. She carefully measures her dogs carefully chosen food, keeps her dogs medication and vitamins done just so, follows all the pop-culture rules about dogs. She just took her side and said I don’t get it, how does this dog live to such a ripe old age when I have seen her eat a Hershey’s kiss here and there cheeseburgers on the road, chicken nuggets thrown over my shoulder that she catches in the air, running around with coyotes etc. When the coyote incident happened, she told me to be careful. Coyotes are known for sending one coyote down to make friends, then they carefully lure the proposed victim dog back to a place where all the other coyotes are waiting an ambush. I started laughing, and I thought it defied all credibility. I could just see the group of coyotes getting together and saying OK Rusty, you’ve got a good personality, go out there and make friends with that dog and lure him back over here where we’re all waiting an ambush. For my wife, looking at my dog was like looking at George Burns 100 years old smoking cigars and drinking whiskey. She just didn’t get it.
Great Dog!!
telltale sign is “processed cheese food”
...what is that, like four molecules away from some sort of plastic product?
Let’s just melt some Legos on the sammich!
I try but he likes the fake stuff.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Can’t make a Philly cheese steak with fake cheese singles. Real American cheese is the best.
Aerosol Cheese
Man, I wish I could afford to eat so luxuriously!
(I always thought it was cool to use that on crackers - high-falutin’!)
There is hardly any greater gift from God (for this life) than a good dog.
I’ve had several. Each was an incredible influence on me.
