I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO START TODAYS DD WHEN... IN THE BACKGROUND I HEARD A FAMILIAR SOUND....

IT IS AMUSING HOW THE SOUND OF A DOG GAGGING WILL WAKE EVERY DOG IN THE ROOM... NOW TO APPROACH THAT SCIENTIFICALLY-- IT MAY COME FROM THE FACT THAT THE MOTHER DOGS WILL BRING HOME FOOD FOR THE PUPS AND THROW IT UP FOR ALL TO EAT...

LET SOME STATISTICAL NUT MAKE NOTE--- ONE SMALL GAGGING PUP JUST WOKE 14 SOUNDLY SLEEPING DOGS.

 ***********

THERE IS A CERTAIN PRACTICAL ASPECT TO OWNING ANIMALS THAT ESCAPES THE IMAGINATION OF PEOPLE OFFERING OPINIONS. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE READ BAMBI TWICE DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN ANIMAL EXPERT--- BUT THANKS TO THE INTERNET- THAT DOES NOT STOP OPINIONS FROM FLYING

INCLUDING MINE.

THAT GUY "JACK" ( FROM... MAYBE THE COLUMBUS ZOO?? ) WOULD HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT WOLVES THAT WOULD BE WORTH LISTENING TO. I WOULD BET HE WOULD NOT APPROVE OF THESE WOLF CROSSES BEING BRED IN THE FIRST PLACE... WHICH IS MY BASIC POINT.

I CERTAINLY HAD SEVERAL RESPONSES TO THE WOLF DILEMMA .

ONE INTERESTING ONE ABOUT OWNING A FEMALE 1/8 THAT WAS A LOVELY PET--- DIDN'T BITE EVERYONE-

MY QUESTION THERE IS HOW MANY MALE 1/8,1/4,1/2 BREDS WERE PRODUCED IN THE PROCESS- AND NOTORIOUSLY THE MALES AS THEY MATURE- GET INTO MORE TROUBLE IN HUMAN SOCIETY.

SO WHY BREED THEM?

I HAVE HANDLED MANY INTHE COURSE OF MY MOVIE HANDLING CARREER.

***************

I REMEMBER,.... HERE WE GO....

I HAD A CALL?20 YEARS AGO ---FROM SOMEONE IN IPSWICH - THE MESSAGE "THERE IS THE BIGGEST DOG I HAVE EVER SEEN WANDERING AROUND THE TRAIN STATION IN IPSWICH"

IT WASN'T ONE OF MINE ( I QUICKLY COUNTED) BUT I FIGURED CHANCES WERE THAT IT WAS A DANE AND I BETTER GO HELP CORAL IT.

I HAD A VW BUG AT THE TIME......

WITH DOGGIE COOKIES IN HAND I WENT DOWN- IT WAS A HUGE HUSKY LOOKING THING-.. AND WITH OUT TOO MUCH TROUBLE IT JUMPED IN THE BACK OF MY VW. THEN I LOOKED IT OVER....

AT THAT POINT I REALIZED - THIS WAS NOT A DOG-- IT FILLED UP THE BACK OF MY VW AND WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN ANY DANE I KNEW-- AND IT HAD HAIR.--- I WAS NOT SURE IF I WANTED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THAT THING IN THE BACK...

IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME -TO DECIDE TO DRIVE- BUT I GOT IT HOME-- THEN I CALLED THE ANIMAL CONTROL- AND WE DECIDED IT BELONGED TO A GUY WHO HAD JUST MOVED IN FROM CALIFORNIA-- AND IT WAS INDEED A FULL WOLF- NOT THE NORMAL KIND-- DARN THING WAS THE SIZE OF A BEAR. IT DWARFED MY DANES.. EVEN IF IT WAS 1/2 HAIR.

 ANY RATE HE SHOWED UP AND COLLECTED HIS WOLF -HE EXPLAINED HOW IT COULD GO OVER OR DIG UNDER ANY FENCE HE HAD SO FAR CONSTRUCTED--

HE EXPLAINED "IT IS ONE OF THE JOYS OF OWNING A WOLF"

I ASKED WHAT THE OTHER JOY WAS.... AND HE DIDN'T KNOW.

HE MOVED OUT OF IPSWICH AND I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN...

 MY POINT BEING.... JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A DOG- YOU DON'T PUT A WOLF BEHIND AN 8' FENCE AND THINK IT WILL STAY THERE. AS ANY SELF RESPECTING DOG WOULD.

**********

I HAVE ALL 13 PUPS LOOOSE AND LOOKING FOR ATTENTION-- EVEN THO I ALREADY GAVE THEM A FLOOR SNACK... IT AIN'T WORKING..- PLUS I HAVE TO FIND OUT

 WHO GAGGED??

WAY TO START THE DAY !!!
