I had a friend who had a shitty little walkup studio apartment on the fourth floor of a building in Chicago. Inside the one and only door he put a little kiddie pool, like 3' in diameter, and filled it with dog kibble. It said "Spot" on the side. Once or twice people came in while he was gone. Nothing was ever taken.
I've come to the unfortunate realization that Chester's replacement isn't a Rottweiler. He's a lab with a fortunate color scheme. I love labs, but this one is loopy and disobedient. I don't know whether to train him harder, or buy him a rebel flag for his vest.
I started this blog for family far away and to share my life and writing with friends. Comments are welcome but please treat this place as you would visiting any friend. I want everyone to feel at home here. If you post advertising for a business or service and I do NOT know you, it will be reported as SPAM. Don't even bother.
And BITES too!
ReplyDeleteHis barking gives you time to make sure that you have a full magazine ....

Eric - thanks. I tell everyone that I'm not noted for spelling or grammar after a 18 hour work day (not often, but it happens).
ReplyDeleteMy dad was a big, burly redneck. The sign my mother put up said, "To hell with the dog. Beware of the owner!"
ReplyDeleteTheir property was never bothered.
Perfect Brigid.
ReplyDeleteAhh yes, be afraid, be very afraid!
ReplyDeleteBarks, bites, and bullets. What a combo!
How do you know that Barkley isn't barking for something yummy to eat? There are Thanksgiving leftovers in the house, don't cha' know!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful holiday season.

The burglar saw the dog. He turned around and walked home, in the rain, alone.

Sublime!
ReplyDeleteI like that very much.
ReplyDeleteEnter at your own risk!
Dog has teeth...Owner has gun.
ReplyDeleteJust one more post that makes me ponder getting my own Black Lab.
My 125lb Rottie is afraid of everyone, so if anyone comes nearby she barks...a lot...really, really loudly.
ReplyDeleteOddly, no one has gotten up the nerve to try and break in to my apartment.
