I was only armed with what my dad taught me in self defense and spiked heels. It was a bloody mess.

WOW... what a mind image that is. I hardly ever wear heels. As I am tall enough without to be intimidating people as it is without standing over them.

[Boxsford]

Wow. Great stories. I often wear heels and will remember your bloody mess. You are some brave lady!! Good for your dad for teaching you those skills.

I do have one decent dog story. One night, out in the country visiting family, I went outside to get something in the backyard when I heard a big dog's bark not but a few feet away. Before I knew it I was sitting on top of the shed. Someone had to get me down. (I'm only 5') Next morning I tried and tried to get back up on that shed and I couldn't. It was too high.

Thank you! Yeah I figured you were being sarcastic. :) I love decent advice, so thanks again!

[Elixyveth]

Can I second that?

[Elixyveth]

[Salamander]

OMG.....whattaya amean “What dog”?

She didn’t “just shoot it” instead, did she?

;-D

[Salamander]

I had to put *something* silly in there to lighten it up a bit.
[~and~ see if anybody would notice it]....:))

You’re welcome.
I hope it works quickly and you’re always welcome to write if you run into a problem.

Most dogs are pretty psychologically predictable and run “true to form” but once in a while, you get a “brainiac” that will attempt to outwit ~your~ outwitting of *it*...:)

*They* may take more effort but wind up being the brilliant, “thinking” dogs you’ll never forget.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Somebody SHOT A DOG???

Let me at ‘em!!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!

/s

Ha! ;)

[Brad’s Gramma]

OK. So. Like, nobody asked me for my opinion....

That said!

but once in a while, you get a “brainiac” that will attempt to outwit ~your~ outwitting of *it*...:)

I LOVE those kind of dogs.

Slithering away again....

[Brad’s Gramma]

GREAT dog!

I've been “blessed” with two of them and I *suspect* God has just favored me with a third.

The first two are long gone.

The third is just now ‘showing his hand’, so to speak...:))

There are dogs you will always remember and then there are dogs you will NEVER forget.

Those two [and this potential new one] fall into the latter category.

If I wanted a pet who slavishly, constantly, robotically obeyed me as if it had no mind or will of its own, I'd just get a goldfish.

Those “smart @ss” dogs ][LOL] were the ones who had so much personality it was almost supernatural.

How I loved them for the sake of their “own selves” and miss them still.

[and we're talking 8 and 26 years gone, here but not a day goes by.....]
