Don't forget to feed them this time.

Did I get it right Becky?

I knew I would get teased for staying at a Motel 6, but whenever I have attempted to stay at nicer places with Ed we have ended up getting hassled. The last place we stayed at that was a non 6 called me up two hours after checking in , and suggested that I put a muzzle on Ed because he was scaring the other guests.

The Motel 6 was one of the first chains that was dog friendly now they are all doing it thanks to the bad economy, but the 6 did it way back before they had to.I love the Motel 6 while it is not a place I would ever bring a client to I love staying there for road trips.You could keep an Elephant in the room, and no one would notice, or care.Plus I love to travel cheap It is more of an adventure, and I figure the less I spend the more often we can travel.

This concludes my advertisment for the Motel 6

I use to have an autographed photo of Lassie as a little kid. She was my hero.As an adult I found out that Collies are not the brightest lights.It appears that they breed the brains right out of them.All that time we thought that Lassie was attempting to tell us that Timmy was in the well what she failed to mention was that she was the one who pushed him in when no one was looking.

I know that we'll never get you away from the wolf-type breeds, but I would be remiss if I didn't suggest that border collies are brighter. They are a tad smaller, but are working dogs.

This collie was a pure-bred that somebody pawned off on my grandparents. Dog was smart as hell but bat-shit crazy & it was manipulative as hell! Definitely capable of shoving little Timmy down the well & making it look like an accident. Hannibal Lechter enough to bite the hell out of me & then have me plead for his life when the old man wanted to shoot him for doing so!

Great dogs, I was partially raised (well at least primarily baby sat) by a border collie, I've never seen one as big as him since. Even as a child I could simply tell him something and he would do it, " go to the other side of the house and wait," for instance his response was immediate and he would wait until I told him it was ok to move.

FWIW I happen to thinck that this is an absolutely captivating topic.


It also is a big help in the process of editing my 2011 "provider wish list"

The ones that I have known Charles are actually very bright, but I have two rules when adopting a dog . The first is the dog has to be male I just prefer their mentality over the females. The second is the dog has to be beautiful, because when he gets me up at 3AM, so he can go pee on his favorite bush I can not get angry , because he just looks so damn gorgeous even when I am half asleep, and frozen.The arctic breeds just do it for me in the looks department. The personality is an extra bonus.

You are very kind Sis. I think that after something like that most people would have sent Lassies evil twin off to that great dog beach in the sky.I would like to think that I would have done something similar to you, but the only dog to ever attack me was a Jack Russel.

Thx! I don't know about kind...it more about "justice" & a "totality of the circumstances" situation for me. Evil Lassie was high-strung & petrified of loud noises. It was the 4th of July holiday weekend & the dog was wigging at all the firecrackers & such. I was trying to calm the dog down & it freaked.

I was just a young kid. The dog probably would have killed me if it weren't for my 70-something Grandmother beating him off me with a frying pan. Thirty years on...I can still see it in my mind's-eye...and it looks pretty funny now!

My GrandDad was a bit of a hot-head. I'm not joking when I say he was gonna shoot the dog the minute we got back from the hospital. Grabbed his M-1 & headed for the backyard. My Dad & I managed to talk him out of it but it wasn't easy.

The really goofy part is that dog & were pretty tight from that point on...even though I only saw him once a year or so. He wasn't a "bad" dog, per sea...just bat-shit crazy!! THAT might be why we got along so well afterward....

Funny you should mention your run-in with a JR! Once upon a time...before my time...my family owned one that bit my much older-brother. So the story goes...he had it coming. While the dog was asleep...my brother used to get down on the floor & put his face about an inch away from the dog's face & then make a loud noise. He though that was the funniest thing EVER until...the day the dog woke up & bit the crap out of him!

In the legend of the re-telling...the dog then calmly put his head back down & went back to sleep...

LOL, oh no your brother should have known that you never tease a JR.They can, and will get even. My JR attack happened because I was not giving the dog treats out fast enough. He flipped out,jumped straight up in the air , and locked down on my thigh ( why couldn't he be an ankle biter like all his relatives?) it took his parents a few seconds to get him to unlock his jaw (the little shit.).He is a close friend of Ed's so I still see him all the time, but he is the only dog that I refuse to dog sit . I am afraid he will try to kill me if he ever got me alone, and then just like your brothers JR would most likely settle in for a nap after the kill.

Even Ed is kind of afraid of him.We think he has anger mangement issues.
