Pets are what makes the world a better place, at least they do at our house. Surprisingly we are now down to just one pet; our dog Copper who will be turning 11 in November. He isn't one of those fluffy, fru fru dogs. He's just a mutt our daughter insisted we rescue from the Pound. Over the years he has learned to earn his keep. He has been a great help around the house. Since he lives out side he barks to let us know when any strangers are near. He keeps an eye on the lawn guys ...makes sure they do a good job or he nips their heals! He even kills any vermin that are so bold as to enter our yard uninvited. He has disposed of: poisonous snakes, a rat, lizards, possums, an occasional bird and bees. He loves to chase squirrels but they are a bit too fast for him. He is the first one to say hello and welcome us home after a long day. He is also great to take any leftover food off of our hands ...a dedicated recycler. He loves the grandchildren and will keep them entertained with his numerous tricks. I recently saw a link to a dog on utube that I will post here in Copper's honor and for the grandkids entertainment ...though I have to say I have never seen our dog run in his sleep. Enjoy!Tuesday, March 17, 2009
Crazy dogs!
