I never planed on bring a dog into my home. The only thing I regret is feeling our walks became a chore. But it was mostly I didn't want my son to be jealous of me taking the dog out over him. Never thought of it that way till now. 5-6 years ago wasn't exactly a happy time for me.
What a dog, legendary! Ask any one... I remember when I first got him placing his teeth on the skin was less noticeable than two feathers. He was a rescue dog found in the streets, previous person who had him abused him. I never put a collar on him but used a choker for walks just till I could take it off. He caught a rabbit and squirrel placed both at my feet. I let him eat them only to discover the next morning he regurgitated them in his room. Got afew bruises on my leg due to his eagerness to great people, his tail wagged so violently it lifted his hind legs clear off the ground both ways.
And if he wasn't seen he was heard blocks away. Some actually went out their way to look for him. Both of us got run over by the biggest land rover I had ever seen, with a trailer. And any fights he got into with cats he came out worse. What a character, legendary!
Do you still have him Arthur?....and what kind of dog is/was it ?....What happened when you were both run over by the land rover?
A grey hound colly mix I would say? A dark brown coat that look black with a white cross on his chest, the tip of his tail and paws where white. He ventured off to the great hunting grounds about three years ago. I only started to feel better late December. If it where not for the leasons I learned while he was alive I would be a poorer dad to my kids. But the greatest lesson I learned was after his departure!
After being run over two of his tendons snapped. So he was in a stookie for two days before I had to replace it. And 6 weeks after that. Only for me to get him another stookie a week after getting the first off. A friend to this day called him skippy. : D maybe I should have called him Cassidy? But like boats I consider it unlucky to change names so kept the name he was familiar with. Blackey, (it amazes me the imagination of some people)...
The only problem is, she really does 'know' that she's a royal princess and has the attitude to go with it! 
, She hates human females! specially if they come anywhere near me!
