Crazy Dog. . .

To say our dog is crazy is an understatement. . .to repeat something my husband said recently:

When he was a puppy, he fancied himself a fish.  He swallowed a spinner bait late one night, making it necessary to call the local Humane Society representative to come and help us remove the bait from his mouth.

When he was a year old, he fancied himself a deer.  He was shot by a hunter with a small caliber deer rifle.

Last week, he fancied himself a possum.  Our chickens had been being terrorized by possums, some even killed.  We laid a live trap for the possums so we could catch them and release them into the swamps nearby.  Our first capture was not a possum, but a Cocker Spaniel.

Today, apparently, he's a stunt double.  And he did a poor job at that.  He's put a huge gash in his back.

Right now, he's laying down on a blanket beside me.  If he planned to never be let off of a leash again, his plan worked.  (I hope he doesn't miss all of that farmland he was once able to run on)
