dodger dog

kudos to senator mc cain for saying nice words about senator obama and also chiding his audiences for their anger. he said that senator obama was a "decent man" and that people did not have fear an obama presidency. (he was booed by his crowd however).

the shock family has added another dog; while working in the yard yesterday (a rare occurrence in and of itself...as any of my friends can testify.) this little shepard looking puppy comes running by and when he sees me comes leaping into my chest. he was underfed and obviously lost so we took him in. we then took him to the vet where we had him checked over and given shots and then back to the homestead. as most of you know who have been following this blog over the years, i already have two dogs, a great dane, maverick and a pit bull/shepard mix, annie d. dog. they were quite excited about the new one but the new one was not quite as excited about being faced with a 160 lb dane and a 65 lb yellow mutt; matter of fact you could say he was scared. the old dogs, however, were very friendly and though the puppy growled and snarled at them all they wanted to do was play. since i was wearing my dodger hat when the puppy came into my life we have named him DODGER DOG. he looks to be part australian shepard and something else with a narrow nose...maybe a dobbie but he is, in my mind, too little for that. black, white and tan he weighs maybe 20 pounds at this time and looks to be about 8 months old. this morning i got to see annie walk under maverick while dodger walked under her. funny. i will try to get picture of all this and post it.

when i lived on a farm in california i had 9 dogs, 8 of which were rescued so i am used to a pack. dogs have always been part of my life and i could not imagine living without them. they provide protection (NO ONE fucks with a great dane) and companionship and, of course, unconditional love. i also think dogs are very funny and i know great danes have a sense of humor because i have seen it in all four of the ones i have had in my homes.

i have secured ticket for sunday's game for the dodger/philly game. it is a "must win" for the boys in blue. go dodgers.

oh well, dat's all folks.

peace to us all.

We have two dogs that the pound claims are aussie mixes--great dogs as long as they get enough exercise. The older one has made the newspaper 3 different times, mostly for carrying 5 foot long sticks home.

Good on you Ron. Both of our dogs, a heeler/aussie mix and a yellow lab, were both rescues and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The more people I meet, the more I like dogs.
