Funny Story I found this pic on a web site where people share funny photos. It reminded me of a long forgotten story. Years ago one of my sisters paid a lot of money for a with great breeding, so good that he had a few miss wired circuits. He was extremely hyper. He was a retriever so he retrieved. However he never quite figured out what to retrieve. One day he came home with an uprooted azalea plant, the next day the empty pot it had been in. He brought home the neighbor’s right shoe one day and the left the next. There was no end to his silliness The best was his thing for jumping in cars to retrieve. One day I went to visit and forgot that I needed to close the window before driving in the driveway. Before I even stopped the car the dog, who weighed around 60 lb, flew in the window, over my lap, into the back seat, grabbed an umbrella and ran back across my lap and back out the window then sat there looking at me, umbrella in mouth.

Dogs are great companions and can also be great characters. I often think back to the antics my old black lab Laddie would get up to. He was one of a kind and would bring all manner of things home. One of the most unusual was a young blackbird which fell out of the nest, he carried it home so gently in his mouth and placed it at my feet. When I picked it up, he turned and led me back to where the nest was and I put it back. What a dog he was. Alfie...

Hi Spirit: That's odd about another pic not posting. The little dog I told you about before who used to carry her frisbee in the mouth back and forth to the park was a miniature golden retriever and somehow when we got her she had no tail. She slept beside her frisbee and she became so good at running and catching it that people were standing around in the park applauding and it became her whole life. She even did a backflip once to catch it.

I can't figure out the problems with getting my pics posted either. Nothing wrong with the content, no copy write etc. It came from a photo sharing site so who knows. I could go all paranoid and think someone was out to get me but that is not my style. Spiritwoman ^i^

Misty knew what she was doing. Your comment brought back another memory for me too - smelts. Haven't had any since I lived in Canada. We have grunion out here that you can scoop up when they "run" but they only do it at night. Spiritwoman ^i^

Surprised he doesn't just chew it up. Pits are famous for that. Sometime ago I visited a car restoration business. There in their lot was one of the yard dogs, a pit, peacefully chewing on a car bumper. Forget protecting it, he ate it. Spiritwoman ^i^

And following instinct, even if he didn't quite get it right. No one told him the human companion is suppose to shoot it first. Spiritwoman ^i^

Thank you. I never understand why some things pot and some do not. I've tried everything to per-screen my posts and keep them acceptable but nothing seems to work. Same is true for most of the other stuff including their "statistics". Just something to look good but with no real value or creditability. No wonder so many people become disillusioned.

You are right. The visual we can conger up is probably better than the pic anyway. Spiritwoman ^i^

I always feel that way when I lose a pet and in part it is correct. There is never another the same but, same as with humans I enjoy the "love" so much I always look for another. I do have that one special dog of a lifetime though and her ashes will be spread with mine. Spiritwoman ^i^

That is a nice story, SpiritGirl. This dog knew who his mistress was.  My Uncle's family minus the Uncle were all fond of dogs. Uncle was always chasing the family dogs (4 of them) away from wherever he himself happened to be in the house. Then they got this very intelligent and very helpful dog, (named him Officer), who would run little errands for everyone viz getting the paper, pick up Auntie's walking stick etc. (Because Uncle snored the two slept in separate rooms). It so happened that Officer, on a particular day, was chased out of the family room, the drawing room, Uncle's study and the terrace (by Uncle). The next week, everyday, Uncle would find his bed pooed on soon after he woke up and went to the loo. A week later it was discovered that it was Officer having his revenge. Have a wonderful day, SpiritGirl.  "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra
