  I agree with all the lovely thoughts about dogs...but dont forget...dogs are also NOT intimidated by JWs! My little dog Rufus barks like a loon whenever they come to my door to see what kind of life I am leading now that I am inactive. I want to be as brave as him...Maybe next time I will bark, too!

  You bark away orbit.

  On my very first trip out in service, at the very first door I ever approached, the homeowner opened the door and sent two large dogs out to eat me.

  I should have seen that red flag.

  He had a very good sense of humor but I don't recall him laughing at any farts either.

  My dog thinks that farts are amusing.

  I have two labs....one yellow, one black, both were pups from the same litter.

  while i care about my two 'boys' more than most people i know, they do seem

  to cause me as much grief as a couple of wild teenagers.

  Cost for two registered lab pups $600

  vet bills to date including shots $345

  fines I've paid for "dog at large" $285

  fines I've paid for them "barking" $185

  fence to keep them in the yard $1200

  total $2615

  Letting them out of the yard early in the morning so they can crap on my

  JW neighbors lawn......................priceless

  Let me see:

  So he can sniff our guests crotch.

  So he can go into that litter room and eat cat do-do.

  So I can pick up his do-do off the lawn.

  So I can brush his hair, no one does mine.

  So I can vaccum his hair off the furniture.

  So he can take over my bed and leave me with no covers or room.

  So he can sit and stare at me while I eat, and think it is his food.

  I love my pets, cause when they are gone, you have great memories of them, good and not so good.

  But most of all it is that unconditional love they give to you, when you come in the door and they are soooo excited to see you, like you have been gone forever.

  Orbit:

  So where you live, loons bark? Interesting.

  Robdar:

  Maybe because my dog was german, he had a different sense of what was funny. We left him with my mother over night and when we returned it was mid morning and she was still in bed because he would not let her out. Every time she put a foot out from under the covers he would bite it and run around the room barking gleefully.

  When my husband would be in the shower, the dog would stick his head under the shower curtain and bite my husbands toes. He had a great sense of humor. He also liked to sneak into bed after I got up and put his head on my pillow. If my husband told him to get out of bed, he would growl.

  He had a tendency to ear infections in the winter in Wisconsin so I would strap a red hunting hat on him when I walked him. He also had little leather boots because the sidewalks were so cold. So there he would be, lifting his leg on a tree with his leather bootie up in the air and the red hat wondering why so my people going by were looking at him.

  God, I miss that dog!
