And yes, for leaving it outside (even without chains) where it could get attacked by mountain lions or coyotes or whatever. Definite a$$hole. Neffi - I hope that your buddy finds a way to scare off the big kitty, for its own good. Needs to go off in the hills away from people. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56818 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56818 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 23:24:22 -0600 mmmmm... sorry, Beth- no dog of any size can survive when a puma comes calling- size and breed means nothing. These cats kill and eat every day and no domesticated animal can cope when confronted with a wild carnivore like this... nature at it's best. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56817 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56817 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 22:43:59 -0600 Only a year old and *already* with bad habits. We had family with a largish spread near Castle Rock. The coyote/canine mix they had (simply the coolest dog) they kept chained in the backyard at night. He lost his fight (he was coyote-sized, it wasn't a fair fight) with mountain lions. But they at least paid a blood price. Me, if I'd been there, I'd have decked the a$$hole for leaving him outside in the foothills. But that's just me. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56815 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56815 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 21:54:33 -0600 Big Kitty's cousin, the supposedly long-extinct Appalachian mountain lion, may be staging a comeback. The local biologists flatly state that there are no confirmed sightings of "painters" east of the Mississippi, but a few years back, we found pug marks of what was either an AML or the world's biggest lynx on Range 35 one wet spring morning. The local biologists *used* to flatly state we didn't have lynx down here, either, until a kitten turned up roaming around the Driver Training Course... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56812 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56812 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 21:04:27 -0600 one, mebbe a year old...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56810 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56810 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 19:36:40 -0600 Uh-three!]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56809 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56809 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 19:29:50 -0600 Try again...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56808 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56808 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 19:25:30 -0600 Big Kitty just looking for a tender, juicy Kiki....]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56807 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/dogblogging.html#comment-56807 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 19:19:54 -0600 *Her* cohort, Neffi. *Her* cohort.

Sooooo, she should actually flop prone, tuck her forepaws -- uhhhh -- hands between floor and sternum, then open her eyes *REAL WIDE* and stare fixedly at some point just off-center of the post.

You have to hold your head just right (think RCA puppy) while balancing on one foot patting your head and rubbing your tummy.
