Ping!
Thanks for posting that, I laughed so hard the tears were streaming down my cheeks.
thought I ought to ping ya
Invisible Dog Historic Marker ! .... so true, we use to throw a treat at a certain spot while cooking, now he choms his his teeth together at us and runs to the same spot. sometimes we find him at the same stop sniffing and waiting. Kids taught him to say "mom" (yes ! he does say what sounds like mom)and he does it every time and runs to the same spot. Wierd dog.
Fun doggie read ping!
Gotta love Dave Barry!
Our very own thackman had a dog that had a real secret life.
I don't remember all the details so maybe he will post them!
We had a visitor day before yesterday. This cute little black and wite border collie waltzed up to the front door and followed my husband into the house. (!!) She didn't know, sit, but could definitely flop down, and roll over to have her belly scratched. She was wet and smelled like "dog". (Obviously outside most of the time). She had on a collar that said her name was "Dixie". She responded to her name but she also responsed to hey you. Very friendly dog. I put her in the garage with water and everytime I opened the door, she rolled over. LOL We located Dixie's daddy through her rabies tag and her vet. He came and got her, said she was supposed to be in the fenced back yard with his other dog (that one was waiting on his front porch, LOL). I said to him "Dixie definitely has a way out!"
We had a Brittany Spaniel one time, no way could you keep her confined. She went over a 7 foot electric fence. You could hear "psst!" when she went over, but she went anyway. She was also fond of jumping on firecrackers which would blow her ears up and leave her face singed (I never thought she was the sharpest knife in the drawer)
My dog Snoopy, that's him to the right, spends most of his time transcribing my thoughts. Which means he works very little :) In which case he's sleeping.
ping for a good read!
My old dog, Sandy (who died a couple of weeks ago at 17 years of age) was so into the Al Gore thing that whe did the same thing each morning that we do when we get up, drink coffee and check our email. She had a slightly different twist however, she would go outside, walk up to our mailbox by the road and check her "PEEMAIL."
She was able to read whatever came in the peemail overnight and spend much of her time sniffing (reading) it.
Our half Australian Shepard, Misty, also took a dim view of squirels and cats. She killed three of the latter, two by using our other dog, Maude, as a blocker, but fortunatly never could catch a cat.
He was a trainer for trainers of greyhound racers.
He had so much heart they didn't want to give up on him.
He had so little talent, they eventually did.
Can you imagine, six different trainers, and last in every race?
Later we learned his secrete plans. Retire Early!!! He takes retirement from the track very, very seriously. Most people mistake him for a lumpy rug.
True except in my Maddie's case its a spot anywhere that a very lucky varmit somehow managed to escape her "jaws of death". She will return to that exact spot loking for the one "who got away"
squirel up a tree? I live in Cent. FL on 5 acres. Several winter ago we had 4 black bears in the backyard eating acords from the oak trees. My Doberman took after all of them (scared my wife and me to death), but she's fearless. She treed all of them in the oak trees. Now these are 400 lb. bears. They scramble up oak trees like squirells. We got her back into the house.
I give. That story trumps my little squirrel tale. Wow! Bears in my backyard would have sent me packing.
