 A thread on the politicker board got me to thinking about some of my old friends. I had a Dalamation that would swim underwater to pick up rocks, a Shepard that absolutly hated UPS trucks,and a Chesapeke that was so scared of water that she would hold the Sheperd by the tail when he tried to get in. Old mutt that would bite at the outboard when the kids used to ski. All good dogs and friends until the end. The dumbest damn dog I ever owned was a Husky. The SOB field stripped my neighbors cat, ate my other neighbors turkey, and finallly stood right in front of my kids truck and met his demise.

 I have a Springer Spaniel that swims under water and looks for rocks. He stays under a good long time, has actually worried us a time or two. And he doesn't swim vertically like most dogs, he swims horizontally all the while trying to touch bottom with his back feet. His names Gunny but we call him Goony, that name fits better.

   Yeah but, can your dog walk on water?... from Gridleak  11/6/2009 2:16:58 PM
 

Big D's can, heh haha. Gridleak

 When I was a kid I had a mutt named Skipper. My neighbor kept chickens and when Skipper was a young pup he liked to go play with the neighbors chickens.
He would chase them and when he would catch and they would try to get away old Skipper would chew on them until they quit fighting. Since they were no longer fun he would run catch another, same outcome.

The neighbor needless to say was not happy and told my dad if he killed one more chicken he would shoot him. Scared the hell out of me.
My uncle had a grocery store and in those days some grocery stores kept live chickens out back in a chicken coop.
My uncle told my dad to bring my dog down to the store and they put Skipper in with two old big roosters. They kicked his butt, it wasn't pretty and they scared the heck out of him. After that you could lay a chicken next to him and I swear he would turn away. Never another problem.

Skipper lived to be sixteen years old, and when the day came he had to be put down, I had to ask my dad to take him to the vet I didn't have the heart.

Had an Aussie that was overly protective of family members. I would have to take her outside if I was going to spank my kids, she would growll and get between me and the kids when I got after them. Good dog!

My youngest son was 5 years old when he came up in the yard with this flee bitten little bitch in his arms. Neal is 24 now. Continued.......

   Of course I have cared for the dog ever since I told Neal he would have to if we kept it. from Wackoman  11/6/2009 4:36:52 PM
 

She sleeps on the foot of the bed most nights and follows Maryann all over the house and yard. Mare luvs the mutt. She will be 20 years old in January so...well y'all know. Wish me luck.

P.S. That should have said "Flea" as in circus you know.

   Now that's a dog! from Spinny  11/6/2009 5:23:51 PM
 Every breed has it's traits.

A mutt doesn't know anything but love.

Thanks Wack.

   Got one better than that Grid.... from ButchT  11/6/2009 6:31:18 PM
 We have a Lab that can walk on water and swim on "three legs"...just don't have a pic. Yet...LOL

Sam is doing great,,amazing animal and will get to hunt next week once again. She lives for it even after being shot. Never missed a beat as I've shared on here before.

I finally figured out how to post pictures. You might wish you hadn't told me;o)

 Your old girl is just precious. We had another Springer that made it to 17 years old.....20 is really old. Just goes to show she's had a very good home and life.

   Heh haha, BettyBoop is so cute when she jumps up and down with such glee... from Gridleak  11/7/2009 2:58:12 PM

At a girl. Nice dog too.

   I'm sure we'll enjoy them BB... from ButchT  11/7/2009 3:02:57 PM
 I know you take a lot of pics and with your artistic ability I'm sure they are quite good. Looking forward to them. Nice dog and obviously very well taken care of.

   I love Springers. Nice pic. Good job BB! from Wackoman  11/7/2009 3:06:35 PM
 
I am going to send you one of me and my Pointer in action this fall. Who knows I might get J Todd in a snap shot.

well fed ButchT? ;o)

Looking forward to your hunting pictures Wacko. Gunny doesn't hunt or fetch and he's a lousy swimmer. Thats his "I've been a bad boy" look in the picture. He has that look alot.

   That poor dog... from Funky  11/7/2009 4:44:11 PM
 looks like he thinks he's in for an azz whoopin'!

You been beatin' that dog Boopsie?

   Wouldn't think of it Funky from BettyBoop  11/7/2009 5:09:54 PM
 
He's my best friend and the only one I can get to walk with me.

   Blue met me at the door from Beartrap  11/7/2009 9:45:35 PM
 

been off duck hunting a week where they ain't no internet access and Blue met me at door....soon as I got through petting her,she ran back and jumped up in chair in front of computer and commenced barking......I knew she had been reading BFHP while i was gone and I figured she was trying to tell me Bucket had insulted me again...when I pulled this post up,it was obvious what she wanted....her picture on this post too.......

   Me and you and a dog named Blue from Wackoman  11/7/2009 10:19:11 PM
 

Actually it's a dog named Boo but every time I hear that tune I think of Blue and the Beartrap clan.

How was the duck hunting? Good enough for an ESPN journal?

   not too good wacko from Beartrap  11/8/2009 7:35:33 AM
 hunted 4 days and had one decent hunt....was hunting southeast corner of North Dakota and they have had abnormal amount of rain...potholes were over full making it difficult to hide plus I think we timed it too late and about half the ducks had left and started south....always fun to go off a hunting trip with your buddies though...

   She was from BettyBoop  11/8/2009 10:06:31 PM
 
lookin at that handsome devil on the screen, wondering who he might be.

My Dad had a beagle named Blue, best little deer dog that ever ran the Glades. He got stolen twice but he found his way back home (180 miles away).

I like your Dog Beartrap. Bet shes a sweetie.

   Betty-that might be but she ain't promiscuous from Beartrap  11/8/2009 10:35:56 PM
 don't know why she's like that but if another dog sniffs her the wrong way it's an instant fight... I have to watch her around other dogs especially large dogs because she is a lot braver than she is big...she's been fixed because I was traveling a lot at the time and one litter of eight puppies was enough to cure miz beartrap from raising anymore puppies......

she is a little mischievous sweetie.
