You have the inner monologue down pat. I once had a labrador who brought down an eight-foot Christmas tree. When I walked in the door, she was sitting in the middle of the living room with a piece of icicle hanging down the side of her head with the most innocent "wasn't me" look on her face.

Ours chewed the corners of Sandra's dressing table when she was just a bit more than a pup. When we came home she sat, glancing at it out of the corner waiting for the world to collapse - which it duly did. The vet reckoned it was separation syndrome, but that's twaddle - she was bored and she pushed the envelope to see how far she could get. She was happy once the hiding had been had and forgiveness had been granted. She's been pretty good ever since because she's out with one of her friends for at least part of the day most days. We sometimes don't know who's got her! These days when she misbehaves, we just ignore her for a couple of hours. It's the worst punishment of the lot for a giddy socialite ...

Acshully, "Pearl," a 13-year-old, Bichon Frise, allows me to co-habit with her, if I behave myself, open doors when required, take rides with the window down to an appropriate level for sight-sniffing, provide food to her liking, keep all her four foam-filled fleece beds fluffed, and drop everything when massages and scratchings are required. In my lifetime I have been provider to : Irish, Gordon and English setters, a Doberman Pinscher, a Dalmation, three French poodles (two minis and one standard,) a standard Collie,three Mixed Breeds, a hairless Chinese Crested and now, Pearl. I also had three brothers who would ask me to "mind" thier dogs "awhile." (Yeah, right!) Oh, and I have "minded" the odd cat now and then, too, while friends were on vacation. Very odd cats : they all liked to play with dogs! Even with the Vet bills, cost of shots, licensing, grooming, medicines, extra housework, etc. etc. I wouldn't have missed the love, friendship and protection each one of them has given in return. wow Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: canines #18935 02/25/2001 4:43 PM Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,146 Northamptonshire, England Capital Kiwi Carpal Tunnel Capital Kiwi Carpal Tunnel Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,146 Northamptonshire, England Owning pets in the semi/quasi-socialist NZ with subsidised human medicine is good for the soul.

Mercy! My hairless Chinese Crested was a "rescued" dog. I got Pepsi from the breed rescue (great folks who dedicate themselves to the breed). Pepsi had been in a puppy mill where she produced litter after litter, when she got old she was left tied outside the local shelter, no food or water. The local Breed Resue got her through the Shelter. She was six months with Rescue Lady I got her from. By then, 10 years old, terrified of strangers, afraid to be touched, homely as could be but ... those eyes! After about six months of love and care she was a happy, loving great companion for the three years she lived. However, it took $2,000 the first year to get her healthy ... in Vet fees and special diets and for various miscellany like collar, leashes, licenses etc. Don't let anyone tell you that a Rescue Purebred dog is free! T'ain't so! But I would do it again in a minute for Pepsi. Who needs a newer car? Dogs love you for you! wow P. S. Pearl is also a Rescue but she was given up because her former owner died so she is just happy to have a good home again.
