What up, Dog?

By Adam R -
Mom, you'll be happy to know that we didn't adopt this guy:



But Leah, you NEED him. He is an amazingly gentle, 80-pound, 2-year-old American Boxer. And he doesn't pull the leash!

Well, you know how the SPCA is; they didn't have much information on him at all, but all the volunteers consider him their favorite. He never barked when all the other dogs were barking, and he mostly ignored them when they passed each other. So judging by that they say he's great with other animals. He hasn't been around cats. I think it's hard to tell a lot because he was on company manners, although his company manners are excellent.

He struck me as a little bit stupid when he raced after a tennis ball (legs flailing with hilarity) but immediately forgot about it. Although he did seem very kind and gentle, one volunteer told me he doesn't know his own strength (so have fun Jackson).

He likes girls more than boys, sits when you pet him, and does his business outside. They think he's a stray.

Oh yeah, I did the most important test and he passed -- I won the staring contest, so that means he isn't defiant.

if he's a stray, he may have perisites.[sp. -1]

when susan b. brought her sweet, calm dog home from the spca she was docile, loveing, gentle and calm. susan fell in love with her!

got her wormed? she was a different personality all together.
a real hyper animal!
susan strugled with her temperment for all her days.

so.
that's one dog, one story.
just beware.

what i meant to say was, when the dog was sick, she was docile. plumb tired out from paracites. [sp-2]
when she was well again... hyper.


ps. how do you spell paresites?

Did you know: That water boils at 198 degrees up here? Thus, food takes longer to cook cuz the water isn't hot enuf. Breads rise very quickly, but they aren't truly 'proofed' so must rise a 3rd time... Cakes rise so fast in the oven, (because of lack of air pressure above them,)that they will pour over the top of the tin before they can bake enuf to support themselves! Liquid evaporates so fast that two extra tablespoons must be added per cup to produce a product that is not dried out. Hmmmmmmmm... My culinary reputation is at stake!
