My Puppy is a Moron

I was going to comment on that Curt....and you made fun of me for keeping an AOL email as my main email address!!! Ha Ha! What was it you said...."that it is so 90's'" Do they still make cassette players? :;D

 

the best yet though is when your animal brings "presents" to share with you. Luckily now my dogs are all litter/pad trained so I dont get presents anymore, but one day I was getting ready for work, I had my pugs outside and went to let them in and my youngest pug (who is box trained just went out to be seeing eye dog for the old pug) came back in with something in his mouth. I am still half a sleep and reach in and grab it and pull out this mass. He must have ate the other half, and was bringing this in for me, but he had part of a birds wing with what I assume was its heart on the end. Woke my butt right up as I was gagging (yet another trip to the vet for worm treatment....)

Then I was sitting for my nieces and nephew one night, and they had 2 goldens. The one golden came in with something in his mouth. He always carries in and out his tennis balls, so I reached in to grab the ball to throw it and in the back of his mouth, he was carrying this little day or two old bunny in his mouth. He never bit down, was carrying it just like an egg. Of course the kids see it (3 and 5 at the time) start screaming and crying. Well I know what is going to happen, it is going to die. I have tried to save babies before, I bred baby lovebirds and even have an incubator at home, but I knew this was useless. No hope for the baby. I told the kids it was dead. They banished the dog never to speak to him again. They wanted to go outside and see if there was a nest, and I tell them no leave it alone. I go to try to figure out what to do with this bunny (I CAN NOT KILL IT MYSELF EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROBABLY MOST HUMANE) and parents will be home in about an hour, so I wrap bunny up in blankies to keep it warm and place it in garage. Kids come in screaming, they went outside and found the nest. Jake was just too full to kill this one, he was just saving it. He killed every bunny out there. Kids are balling, dog is wanting to get back outside and find more bunny stew, I have a bunny out there that is starting to see the Pearly Gates...... So we have a bunny funeral for the ones that are outside, kids never understanding why the one he brought in could not be burried with their brothers and sisters remains. That stupid bunny was still alive when the parents got home a couple hours later. I took it to the ER clinic and had to have it taken care of.....

Most traumatic memory of my childhood was a pair of chicks we got for Easter. Big mistake. These little chicks grew up to be ducks but they were awesome (for little 4 and 5 year old kids). They grew up around a terrier mix dog named Andy. Andy never hurt them until one day, we were all outside together and Andy being the dog he was turned and killed both ducks right in front of my brother and me. Dog was banished, duckie funeral (above story made me remember this again ). Mom finally had us forgive Andy and let him come back into house. So I went to let Andy in, and here Andy is standing there with the duck in his mouth....so we had another duckie funeral this time on the other side of the fence. Dont remember how long Andy was banned at that time.

Awe, what animals teach kids about life and death and the circle....

 

Had a cat once that liked to eat tinsel off of the Christmas tree. Made for a very festive litterbox
