How sweet of you Lisa! Thanks!

*LisaWhat you say about dogs is true. My dog found a road kill squirrel after three weeks in the summer sun. I've seen some half dollars that were thicker but none that smelled as bad. I had observed this unfortunate animal for about a week when one day, as I turned into the driveway, he was gone! Nothing left but a slight grease stain on the pavement. Walked through the backyard gate and there on the back stoop was "Scooter" happily knawing away on his newly found chew toy. Now this was a wonderment because Scooter was a finicky eater, normal dog food would make him stop in his tracks and he would refuse to eat. Talk about bad breath in dogs!Scooter is dead now...but he died happy in his old age at 18 years. Maybe it was the squirrel!Steve
*I did work for a lady whose mother had a Boston Terrier. The first time I went over to discuss work this damn dog sat near me and peeled off the most foul smelling farts. I'm sitting there trying to act casual, but I know everyone was aware of the smell. I got the work so I think they know the dog was gassy. Anyway, I digress, The daughter told me her mother spoiled the dog and would cook for him. He of course would not eat this food, but when they walked along the beach would find the most digusting thing available and start to eat.My particular dog is very fond of the Kitty Box. It is my wife's first dog and so I got her a book about the breed.(Yorkie) Anyway, one night I'm working late and I got a page from a frantic wife who found the puppy eating poop. She looked it up in her book and it said a dog that eats its own poop has major diet problems. When I returned the page, she was very distraught and wanted to know where I got this defective puppy. I assured her it was a good source, but she was suspicious. When I finally got home, I investigated and found that the dog "treats" were glazed in kitty litter and the puppy was just a normal nasty dog.As an aside, we (me and the dog) make a strange couple on our walks, I'm 6'7" and 245 #'s and she is 7" and 7 #'s at best. Fellow dog walkers have told me how people have commented on the huge guy with the tiny dog. She knows I'm her back and can be frightenly fearless, no dog to big for her to investigate and/or chase off.
*My friend John says he was on a crew once where on the very last day of their remodeling work someone knocked a can of paint over and the lid popped-- white paint all over the brand new carpet. There was a big dog living in the house who had been watching them work every day. The lead man grabbed the dog and stuck his paws all in the paint and all over, the carpenters grabbed all their tools and split fast.

Aah, but the punch list!

Hey, you bastard, that was my mothers house.
*JD,Did you miss reading the posting policy here by just a tad????Nobody here needs that kinda talk do they...Go to time out for five please....J
*Sorry for using a word I hear almost everyday on the radio. It was a lame attempt at humor on my part and I assume since I couldn't find them that the rules say "No sorry attempts at humor."
*What it is, they don't want nobody talkin about no mother.
*I figured it was lame humor...Content Policy...is a folder...near the top.J
*My wonderful life long companion recently discovered the joys of deer poop. Appearently, the stuff ferments in his stomach and he gets wasted. The first time it happened I thought I was watching him die, he couldn't stand up and when he did he would forget that he had two sets of legs and promptly fall down. When the vet told me what was going on, it was kind of comical, now he is a recovering poopaholic. He never gets out of my sight long enough to indulge his new habit.KMH

I like yorkies too. Although for a small dog, a Jack Russell is the best. But I'll always have the softest spots for the monsters - Saints, Newfoundlands, mixed breed herding dogs...
I have been told by a vet that the reason dogs will forage in the cat box is that cats do not digest protien completely. The mutt can smell it, and being a consrevation minded animal, will reproccess free of charge...
*yall need to get a real chat room...this message board stuff is lame..and the worse dogs for gas are dobermans....lol..

HB...Did you borrow a Seattle Band name????
*Overheard two carpenters talking while on break once,they were watching the neighbors dog licking himself.One said to the other"Wish I could do that".The other replies"Don't ya think you should see if you can pet him first!"
