  Dear Hounded by the Hounds,

  When the dogs came rushing toward the two sisters out in service, the scaredy-cat sister got behind the other sister for protection. Her reason? Apart from not wishing to be mauled to death, she knew Sister Shield was a dog-lover and would protect her. So how was it for you out in service? Did the dogs love you or hate you? That's why I call 'em bark-calls. If only their bark WERE worse than their bite.

  And thank you so much, Sad Emo, for that lovely list of pooch names. It always helps to know a cur by name. Taking a personal interest in man's best friend sort of acts like an anti-bite venom. To see that great list of names for your pup-in-waiting, click on:

  G'day coco,

  I had a few close calls with dogs and even dog packs. Nowadays JW's are most likely advised to avoid putting their person in jeopardy (real agenda: we don't want to see the society sued do we But back when Armaggedon was just weeks away we had to give everyone a warning or risk carrying the 'bloodguilt' forever! (when one of Jehovah's angels mercilessly beheads the dog lover at the big A.

  Eh, mon petit coco

  I used to walk boldly into the dog's den yard, having been the maucho type brother. I think i faced em down pretty good. Since leaving the wt services, i have lost my need to deal w unfriendly dogs.

  careful if you ever need to visit a house-load of feral hippies satanus. I was attacked by malemutes last year and lucky to survive (fortunately I was only a few paces from a caravan door .. my legs were badly bitten and bruised and I was shaken for days).

  Just seen your dog name thread. Names must reflect breed and their relevant popularity I suppose. An American Pit Bull Terrier gets to be called Tyson while a Lhasa Apso is Tricky Woo or Fluffles. If you reverse it, it doesn't work.

  Uncle Bruce those mamelutes sure are bad ass doggies. Like big huskies on steroids and crack. You were lucky to get away. They must get so hot down in Australia. Maybe that makes them extra narky.

  I don't remember any dog related problems in FS. I'm a dog lover but don't hesitate to put the nasty ones in their place. However I don't think a good witness would be given if a householder saw you booting their Jack Russell up the arse, as you stride up the drive with your book bag.

  Ouch, unc. I hate to imagine that. Were you doing some animal rescue work? National geographic has a program about how to deal w dogs, the dog whisperer. He says to never look em in the eye, cuz that mean fight.

  I was in a hippie nudist colony, once for a few days. Would that count? Fortunately, they all stoned, all of the time. I don;t think that they noticed me.

  Hi CoCo

  Looking back, I have admit - cats and dogs were the highlights of my ministry. They sustained my children through boredom. Every street had its share of dogs and cats and they always seemed to come to our rescue. Thank goodness for house pets and strays.

  Well Clam and Satanus these dogs were just very poorly trained (hippies aren't too good at discipline and not knowing who's top dog can turn their dogs into nervous wrecks. I was visiting a distant neighbour and these two just suddenly went for me. I should have had them put down by the police.

  Dear Friends of Little Brutus and Wag-Wag,

  Quelle joie to awaken to your delightful stories of risking limb and life [WT backward lyrics?] to bring the good news of eternal life in the Kingdom of the Beasts! And Bernadette -- yes, the lil' beasties that followed us about in service! More joie! I was remembering having forgotten about Malemutes. Would so many of us have tails-to-tell if more of the elders had been mute males? If they had been struck dumb during a humiliating announcement or judicial committee meeting. Then had to resort to facial gestures and charades to make their point. We respond to their muzzled and frustrated attempts at communication: "I'm sorry, Brother Dumbstruck, it may be easy for you to say, but you are not making yourself clear -- I'm outa here!" If we couldn't laugh, then we'd have to cry and we've all had enuf o' that!

  A grateful whelp,

  CoCo
