T

his is getting serious.

For my light weight work I use the .223 AR15.

For more heavy work I use the 30.06 M1 Grand.

Then for real rats I use the ol' 45 acp Thompson.

Hey Tombo. How you and Sid doin'.

I have a dog that hates helicopter, planes, cars, boats, lawn mowers. weed eaters and anything that makes noise. He's Shelly's little brother (Ethan). Another Sheltie. We saved him from a breeder. Poor little guy lived in a box for a year. Fortunately for him he got to big and was not suitable as a breeder. So we way over paid for him.

He's dummier that a box of pigeon poop but he's very loveable. And we think he's beautiful.

Come on Guys, give Thombo a break, some of you guys dislike wives more than Thombo dislikes dogs, and he likes working dogs, Heh, that means he ain't all bad. I'm sure he's enjoying the sport and I love the enthusiasium with which you a tackled the issue, but has anybody got a better excuse for crashing ????

Thanks Admiral.

Re: Crashing.

YEAH Exclamation

The wife sidles up alongside and says,
"Hey! You've just got to look at this - NOW!" waving a letter in front of your face. Sad

I didn't even have the floats on the heli Crying or Very sad

. It's drying out nicely though. Rolling Eyes

Tom.

Can't help it - Gotta get my girls in - Someone said they liked Working Dogs - Well this pair are sorta X-Working

The one looking at you "Maya" used to work sheep very well (even though she is an Australian Cattle Dog) The one looking away, if you put her in a paddock with sheep she would look for a pine cone for you to throw for her Razz

Thanks for everyone posting the pictures of your dogs. I love both of mine. They make my life allot better. Lots of overhead but well worth it.

My two legged kids (I have 6) like cats. My body can't handle cats. My eyes swell closed and I can't breath but I do like them. I'm and animal person for sure.

Same thing here Jack, cat hair destroys my eyes, horrible! ...I love animals though too, better than ppl usually.

Maximus. A King Shepard I rescued from really crappy owners who broke his left ear. 1&1/2 yr. old, 108 lbs of fun.

...... Dogs and electric motors .... they don't like the sound that comes from them that is outside of human range .. that's what a Vet told me when I mentioned that my German Shepherd attacked model cars etc.

Anyway ... Dora our 3/4 size German Shepherd cross is now about 9yrs old ... she came with the house. She'd been chained outside since a pup and when we bought the house, owner said he was going to kill the dog as he had nowhere to keep her. I told him straight - Kill the dog, no sale. So I became her owner. First thing - destroy the chain, cleaned her up and took her inside where she'd never been ! She is absolute gold.

She took no notice of the 2 cats we brought with us except for Freddie Krueger ....... named because he decides when and how much you can touch him .. when he's had enough it's SWIPE ... the sharpest quickest claws !

So later wife wanted second dog to keep Dora company. So of to town and look at some dogs from adverts in paper ... we got Ben the bundle in the photo earlier ...
Dora mothered him so well - we never had to bother during the night.

Next we have the 3rd cat ... now this is a terrible story that luckily we put a happy ending to ... Wife with her Mum was in the garden and they heard a weak squeaking ... thinking it was a mouse somewhere they started looking. They found a kitten with head and front paws sticking out of ground crying .... its paws had been scrabbling so much to get out of it's grave - the claws were all broken. Wife dug Tom out of the ground ... all wet. Judging by the ground and his being wet ... it was obvious someone had tried drowning him at the river back of our house, thought he was dead ... buried him at side of our garden. Poor thing had come to buried ... Tom is the most devoted cat ever ... it's as if he knows absolutely his life is because of us.

Last is the Doberman / Alsation cross ... Sherry who to be honest is a loving dog but insists on fighting Dora .. she's only just over 1 year old and already a strong dog.
Wife and I were out in garden and a woman came up the road to us and asked if we were interested to take over a dog. She said - you have such land and everything ... her dog would love it ... To be honest I didn't want another animal ... 2 dogs, 3 cats and a Horse is enough ! But she kept on and then told us that her mother had given a pup to her son and they only had a 2 room apartment .. Deal was - she hands over the dog and doesn't returtn for at least 6 months to allow dog to settle in ... ownership to be mine absolute. She agreed.
Next day she turns up with Sherry - the Dobie / Alsat cross of 3 months old. Scared, nervous and trying to keep clear of womans young son who was with them. So obvious that son had been using the dog as a toy ... probably beating it.

Sherry is the protector of all ... there's no doubt as she has already proven it.

In our still being renovated kitchen ... Ben in his usual lay on the floor position, Dora waiting for Sherry to decide what she's going to do ( sherrys the one nearest, Dora the one looking to right on the left ).

Had to throw this one in as well ... my other hobby !

at end of my back garden ................

Much as we might expect from a guy with "Solent" in his moniker.
Very Happy
