I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture. And take that shade off if ya wanna keep it. &rdquo;<br /><br /><strong>Old English Sheep Dog:</strong> &ldquo;Ummmmm. Light bulb?

So, the real question is, how long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?&rdquo;</div></blockquote>Okay, if that doesn't lure Barb out of the woodwork...<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[Criket,<br />
My late cat and I had to share a nice big comfy chair for 7 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;He thought it was his and I knew it was my favourite chair.&nbsp; We had to run for it and he would make a genuine effort to get to the chair ahead of me (he was a very fully and elegant Hymalanian and usually floated not walked, seeing him making a run for it largely accounted for me losing to him in a race).&nbsp; If I got to the chair first, he would jump on the back of it and we would be sitting/sprawling there together. If I left the chair even for a 1/2&nbsp; minute, he would slide down on&nbsp; the seat and claim it ...&nbsp; then the chair got thrown out and we got 2 smaller ones. Even though we inadvertently claimed the same chair as &quot;favourite,&quot; again, this time&nbsp;I acted as a&nbsp;grown up and used another one :o)]]>

        We had a rather large Belgian Shepherd who would not bark. He also would allow you into safe portions of the house. Safe to us, but not the intruder. Then he would not allow the intruder to leave. This is a 160 pound dog who just loved to play with a manila rope tied to a large limb of tree. He would grab the rope with his teeth and with all 4 feet off the round and just swing. Then one night in the summer, we heard this blood chilling growl. It&apos;s about 1AM, Dad and I are getting up and dressed. We both walk out to the front door of the house. I think that dog had every tooth in his mouth out on display. Dad had already called the police. Dad turns on the light and says, we&apos;ll call the police in the morning. He told me to walk away and he turned off the light. We both had small bore revolvers. The police arrived with the chief about a minute later. They took him away. During that dark minute, I&apos;d swear you could hear that dog lick his chops.

        Loved my German Shepherd(s) (three over the years). Loved my cats (four over the years). Loved my fish (broiled, fried, grilled. heh.) But I tell you,  there is some sort of freedom to being pet free, picking up and just going without worrying about leaving a pet behind or what kind of reception the pet will get if taken along.

We had a 100-lb German Shepherd military dog with his handler at the USO yesterday. &nbsp;He was a riot!&nbsp; He was very enthusiastic and motivated--wanted to sniff the facility for explosives every chance he got.&nbsp; His handler said he &quot;flunked bite school&quot; (refused to attack people) and so was only a sniffer dog, not a patrol dog.&nbsp; It soon became obvious why: he was a total lover, not a fighter. &nbsp;When people came over to greet him, all it would take is a scratch on the ears and he roll over on his back for a tummy rub!&nbsp; Awesome dog...&nbsp; Gentle Giant who loved to play.<br />]]>
