Dogs

[jim]

We are dog sitting, I have a little .... well I don't know what the hell kind of dog she is to be honest, sitting next to me as I type. She is probably 10lbs, little lap dog. She jumps on the furniture, something that Dizzy was trained not to do. But it's not a big deal because she isn't that big and doesn't shed.

But it's been great having a dog in the house. I like this one, it's not yippie and it actually acts like a dog - some really little dogs don't. She spent the night last night, she goes back today. Definitely going to tell the neighbors not to hesitate to ask.

We're watching our Dad's dog - a little roughcoated Jack Russell lap dog. We have a 75 lb Golden Retriever. Rufus is laid back and friendly. The little thing is skittish and jealous. When she gets up on a lap and Rufus comes near she snarls and bites. Jumps at every little noise or movement.

Sunday can't get here soon enough.

My parents have a little dog that is skittish and does that submissive peeing, plus it yelps and is impulsive. This little dog actually acts like a dog, and I could be fine living with that. But I'm kind of like Ron Swanson with dogs in general:

Any dog under 50 pounds is a cat, and cat's are useless.

I think it's time for you to consider getting a new dog, jim.

At college in Hawaii, someone left a pit-bull mix puppy in a broken down car in our driveway, so we adopted her. She alerted us to a septic tank catastrophe by coming into the house looking something like this. It was sooooooo disgusting. I'm getting a little nauseous just thinking about it. Poor thing got hit by a car following one of us to school after six months or so. We really should have tried to find her a proper owner before that.

Mary that looks alot like the dog that passed last January. I still prefer a dog like that to a little lap dog, shedding and knocked over bookcases and all.

Welp, I didn't follow my instincts and went into the tick-infested woods with the Galoot in the summer.
Terrible results.

Running on hot rocky trail and creeks ravaged his paws and required vet attention. So when he wouldn't take the antibiotic wrapped in cheese - I became suspicious. When he wouldn't eat bacon, I knew he was in a world of hurt.

Sure enough, he has a tick-born bacterial disease Erlichiosis. So now Galoot is recovering on another antibiotic.
My stupidity nearly killed Galoot, and cost a lot of money. The cool part is to see him start to recoever. He was a nearly lifeless Galoot. Now he is looking around like a creature with a new lease on life.

Big Galoot in healthier times in Autumn.

And planet is right jim; it's time for another dog.

Not yet. As much as I love dogs, we travel alot. We are gone from our house probably 1/2 the weekends, especially in the summer. It is nice not to have to worry about what to do with the dog.
