I've been thinking about a dog for a while. Right now
my brother has two and they are quite enough. I
was shrink wrapping the boat up this weekend. My
brother was helping today and he brought the dogs along.

Both dogs were literally born in the wild. There dame
was run over, just after they were weaned, and they lived
on oranges and geckos in a wood pile in an abandoned
San Diego County orchard next to my brothers orchard. My
brother bought the house and the other parcel with the working
orange grove when it was subdivided. He spotted three
owild puppies one day, gave one away, and kept the other
two. These are not little dogs. Both have weighed over a
hundred pounds at one point. The bigger maxed out a 118
lbs.

When he moved back east, it was three years before they
would let me pet them, and I'd feed them occassionally. So
needless to say, they alert and bark when anyone approaches.

Anyway, it is fun to have the dogs around, but the barking
got old--it was such a nice day, everyone was walking or
driving by scoping out the activity and prepping their own
boats for the winter.

We were up on deck moving shrink wrap around when
Herman, the former security guard came walking by with his
buddy and a couple of ladies friends. They are all black.

When the dog starts barking loudly, Herman says, "They
like dark meat." We all started laughing. Then my brother
commented, "Being that it's Thandsgiving". And everyone
errupted again.

It was a fun day. I'm waiting for a calmer day so I can finish
shrinking the film.

Actually my puppy is one of the best chick magnets ever!
Great conversation starter and I've actually had dates with two ladies
I've met while walking my dog!

So when are you getting a dog Bart? :-)

Just Kidding! :-)

Well bud..... I just finalized a deal for a Schipperke with the
kennel....
a 4mth old pup. She'll be arriving next week. I'll keep you posted.

Pets are nothing more than substitutes for a woman. You wouldn't need a
dog if you were a heterosexual male with a decent sperm count!!
