Mad Dog Attacks Teahound!!!


No, we're not perverted here- My dog Billy is crazy about teahound- He barks, yelps, cries,drools and yes, attacks her whenever she comes over, but even a friendly attack by this canine could be dangerous- He weighs more than she does and doesn't realize the power of his love-
Okay, the truth is, Billy was not always MY dog- when we moved from the "city" to the country, I promised Jennah she could have a dog- (she really wanted a horse) -thinking it would be a small to midsize cute little lovable critter- She chose Billy !!! He was first on the SPCA list for the "big sleep" having been there six months- We weren't happy! He was big, ugly, and not child friendly, and a runner- I won't go into all the details, suffice it to say, the inevitable happened- Guess who ended up taking care of this monster--- well mostly Frank, because he's much nicer than I am, but I was forced, frequently, to take the dog for walks, feed him, etc. My angst grew, I became resentful, and decided Jennah needed to be taught a lesson- so I cajoled,threatened, and finally gave him away to a nice home in the country- There, I thought, that will teach her!!! Keep in mind, I have already told you my learning style is to do it wrong first- As I watched him being dragged into the truck, with leash, dog food, dish, the strangest thing happened- he looked so cute and lovable- searing pangs of guilt and remorse, first sign , tears second sign, missing him looking for me out the window after school, missing our walks, and missing his unconditional love- So how do I always get out of the messes I create??? FRANK TO THE RESCUE!! Tears help- please call them I say, and just ask how he's making out- He calls because he loves me and knows how impulsive i am- Billy is not eating and crying- now for Billy not to be eating, you know something is wrong!!! After calling twice a day
for three days, the new owners ask, would she like to have him back?? YES YES YES YES so Billy is now MY Dog- and I love him- The once runaway, now has to be practically kicked out of the door every morning, and barks at the door to come in= Oh yes, he even sleeps with us!!! Don't you think he's cute?

Yes....hmmmm....very cute, although, I must admit, I usually reserve the word 'cute' for smaller animals or people. But, I will say, he sure knows how to clear a room!! Remember the puking incident...when all the Jim's left the room and only the women were left? I swear to God, if it weren't for women, this whole world would be covered in puke and poop!!!!

Let's face it...we are the puke cleaner-uppers! When Tuffy pukes..Jim just puts paper towel over it and leaves it for me to clean up.

Tuffysmom, do you remember who cleaned it up???? It wasn't Suzie or Marsha, or any of the Jims- Frank

Billy is pretty cute, even when he's sitting on your lap, crushing the very air from your body. Does he still say "Mama"? Wish I could teach the dogs here stuff like that. Come to think of it, wish I could teach them to stop peeing everywhere!
