black. i had two friends with chocolate labs, and thought i'd get a black one. well i'm at home one day and the local news would have a pet of the week. so one day i see this black lab puppy that was up for adoption. knew right there that would be my dog. the shelter nicknamed him mister wiggles, because he doesn't wag his tail, he shakes his whole back end. he was about 6 mos old. the first week i had him was eventful. i was working nights, and my roommate worked days. when i went to work dallas would sometimes go apes*&t. well we tried to put him in a crate at night or when i was gone. i told my rooomie to cover the crate with a blanket or something, maybe that'd help. well, dallas managed to pull the entire blanket throught a maybe 2"x2" square hole, and proceeded to shred it. he also developed a tendency to chew anything wood. to this day i think his favorite toy is a log. not a stick, but a freaking log. if i am picking up dead limbs, or cutting down some lumber in the yard, he thinks its a toy. i will take a maybe 2-3" diameter piece of wood, good sized limb, and he have it in pieces soon there after. that and a frisbee. i think i could walk him anywhere off the leash as long as i had his flippy flopper frisbee. that dog lives to chase that thing.

i don't have any pics handy, maybe i'll dig one up.

 

Is it just me, or does Scott's dog have that look on his face that reminds you of Wil-E-Coyote when he has just come up with a new plan to catch the roadrunner?

 

Hey Mark! Dude! Your advice (I'm certain) is appreciated, but you came off a bit harsh in this one! Cris has 2 children that I'm sure rank as significantly more important than this dog - priorities, ya know? So if she's not doing what you suggested, well, it's her house getting pissed on anyway... you seem a bit worked up over this, more than necessary... have you been the the Club lately? no hard feelings guy, just direct it where it's more deserved; here's to you

 

I was thinking it was more along the lines of "get that camera out here or you'll be showing the next group of pictures to your proctologist"

 

Oh man, sure did not mean to. Maybe the Club is my problem. I spend far too much time there. I've a brand new moniker there just awarded to my today. "Village Idiot". Mucho apologies if I upset anyone.

 

I'm not sure you did or didn't, your response just made me say "Wow! what's eating Mark?" don't let 'em get you down, or too worked up either!! Maybe you should 'borrow' this dog and send it to some of your 'friends' from over there!!!

 

Would really like to see a pic or two if possible. Your Dallas sounds like our Dallas. Doesn't like to be kept locked up. She was also pretty destructive through the puppy years but is a very good dog now and VERY protective of her family and our property. She has jumped through the front window of my house twice going after the UPS man. COMPLETLY through the window. Chased him all the way up onto his truck. Here is the end result of one of the jumps:

 

If you want to see what's eating me, read my edit above, or venture into the snakepit of the Club.

 

heck no brother!!! i get a "whiff" of it from you... don't want any part of that crap. I admire fighting the good fight, but ya just can't fix stupid!

 

You got that right, Brendan. It is hard to understand their way of thinking but that is because they don't think.

 

Man, I wish I could comment on this in here, but I've been warned and am going to pay attention to that. But when stuff like this happens I refer to my analogy of "the rat backed into a corner". When confronted, it will bare its teeth and come out snapping at you.

 

hahahahahahahahahaha LMAO

 

I understand that analogy, and I hope you didn't think I wasn't referring to you as the stupid one, because that's certainly not the case.

 

So Brendan, you've at least been reading it and for that I thank you very much. The fact you have not jumped in may say much for your intelligence. I sure wish I had never gotten involved.

 

mark what you should do is drop a whole lot of f bombs just say what you want to say and only go to the club to see their reactions
