Angry Eating cars

My late, lamented Chow Chow ate the armrest of my old Celica. She got her intestines all plugged up with chunks of the vinyl and cost me a fortune at the vet.

BTW: I used to work with a guy named T. K. Chow. When we got the Chow Chow, we just naturally named her Tei Kai Chow. He found that out later by accident and never was very friendly after that.

A elderly lady at the pay desk told me she was DEAF...but could hear my Toby BARKING...so I said you AINT deaf then...
her Daughter told me she was LIP READING....Mmmm next time Your dog BARKS...put your fingers in your EARS...and LOOK at your dogs FACE...see if you can tell weather he is barking or not....What he was doing was...IF that ruddy CAT wags it's TAIL in my face agn...I am going to turn it into a BOA....LOL....
Pets you either LOVE 'em or LOATHE 'em...
A young lad had a HUGE S P I D E R in a plastic box...it looked like a T - ran - u - la...thingy...toooooooo...close 4me for comfort....kept on cleaning his eyes with it's big hairy legs...maybe he could'nt believe how UGLY I realy am...says the WIFE...lmao....B-Good ALL...Chris.....

I have to say I have loved all my dogs, cats, and other pets. We currently have a Turtle named Spike and a Schnauzer named Freddie. My son who is 8 has seen 2 of our cats and one of our dogs leave us. He has learned that is the way of life. I believe the highest show of love for a beloved pet is to find another to bring into your home when you lose a pet. So many animals need good homes. If you check out the GIF on th left you can see Freddie between my wife and myself. Freddie Is the only small dog I have ever had own me and I must say he changed my mind about small dogs.

BTW I believe that cats go to heaven also.

story

Thanks for posting the credits to that story. It has circulated around some working gun-dog digests I have been on and I didn't know where it originated.
I have always had 'bargain basement' dogs. The last two are real challenges. Wirehaired pointing griffons. Scruffy, smart you name it. They can open doors, car windows, car doors, cabinets, crates (both kinds). The good news is that they match my airstream in colour, but they are not allowed inside.

Have to thank Edie for pointing me in the right direction.
After the lead, I went out and searched thru the numerous "The Twilight Zone" websites until I found the Credit lines that I posted with the story. Like Edie's pointer, I really like to give credit were credit is due.

Regards;

Our travel companions

I posted this picture somewhere else I think, but any time I see doggie posts, I have to jump in, right?

Our Jack Russell Terriers are the main reason we purchased our Bambi. We take them to terrier trials all over the place and have met some wonderful people and dogs so far. The JRTs sure make themselves comfortable, wherever they are!

For the 4th time, thank you Lord, for letting us be the care taker of another one of your fine animals. (One of the better ones)

Bobby,

I am so happy for you that you had the opportunity to have Nikki in your life. Likewise, I ache for the grief you must feel letting go.

Edie, if I watched that old show, I'd squall all night. . .Taffy and Licky Nicky and Black Pearl and Heidi and. . .and. . . Now we have nine year old Wally, our Weinaraner, old and stiff like we are growing to be. We are all a good match! We talk about getting a pup, just to have, company for Wally, and, well, you know. Somehow we just can't bring ourselves to do this yet. I think Wally would never forgive us for upsetting his princedom in our household!

We had a Cocker Spaniel once. To make a long story short we had to have her put to sleep. I couldn’t bear to sign the papers so my wife had to do that. We both left balling like babies that day. They are truly like a part of the family.

We now have a 13 year old Chihuahua which has lived inside with us the whole time. I dread to think how difficult it will be when we loose him.
