Thought you dog lovers might find it funny.




You... dog... lovers...

That is a great piece.
Thanks

Thanks, that was great.


Wheels

As Wheels said, great.

Love it!

That was great, then I got to the last bit and now I'm sad.

excellent

Absolutely true, and the reason they're afraid to make eye contact with cats is it usually leads to paw/nose contact LOL. Just like they learn very quickly that when the kitty wags its tail it's not looking to play LOL.

Lol, funny bacause it's true

so very true... about 30 years ago I had a Nfld cross who was a "slow learner"....had his nose shredded about 20 times by the neighbour's cat before he figured out the "tail wagging" thing

Since then , I've had greyhounds for many years...owned them, fostered them, "dog sat" them. They fall into two general groups.....1/ typical dog group....no eye contact with cat ...and

2/ stand back about 10M and stare at cat .."I DARE you to run...'cuz then you're gonna die" group

If you'll pardon the British colloquialism, this is indeed the "dogs bollocks". A funny, poignant, moving tribute to our four legged, genital cleanliness fixated, furry friends.

Made me a wee bit sad at the end too. Reminded me of 'Trixie', me auld faithful Jack Russel, bless her wee paws. Awwww. They are such stuff as dreams are made on, and their little furry lives, are rounded with a sleep.

'So it goes'. Perhaps the 'Eternal Kennel Lord in the Sky' *TM* has prepared a place for them; Elysian, Idyllic fields where they may randomly bark at and p*ss upon all manner of things for no apparent reason ; chomping upon neverending DentiStix till their hearts are content. For is it not written in some book or other that there are "Many Kennels in his Fathers House"?. Or something. *shrugs*.

"Whatever".

Our ACD definitely falls into the second group, except she does not stand back and stare at a cat. She takes off after it the very second she spots it. Eventually she will get the cat that keeps defecating in our backyard. Fortunately for the cat it does it near the fence. Seems the cat is a fast learner about doing it the middle of the yard after almost losing it's tail.

Hi C2.

ACD - Australian Cattle Dog ?


Wheels

Hi Wheels, yep you guessed it. Fast little booger too. Here's a pic of her, not to good, but what I have available at the moment.

ACDs Rule!

On my wife's truck we had a sticker that said "My Australian Cattle Dog is smarter than your honor student". This our second one. She rocks! Our mailman has told us that he can sneak up on every other house with a dog in our neighborhood without the dog barking except ours. I swear she can hear a gnat fart down the street.

My Shelties and Collies were the same way when it came to announcing a visitor. Of course my most recent one, a Samoyed, would allow you to steal everything and just want you to pet here while you were doing it.

Jack Russells and Border Collies fall into the same category....I find that most herding dogs are "scary smart" That's why I like hounds ...they are dumber than me
