Duck Pond Redneckery

[Rigjockey]

Next time you go you will know if he likes the water if he goes in on his own or follows you.
Some dogs really like the water and will jump in on their own or like my friend's dog gets into a panic when my friend goes into the pool. Standing on the edge barking like get out of there are you crazy?

 

[Duck]

My dog used to follow me wherever I go when I leave the property on a slow enough vehicle he can keep up with. Especially Sarah's minibike which only goes 18 mph.

But now he doesn't. He'll stop a few feet in from the property line and wait for me to come back, then he'll resume the chase.

It's like there's one of those invisible fence things but there isn't.

He got old and wise.

He got old and wise.

Could be the fact that it's gravel everywhere except in the yard or on the street. And I've shocked the shit out of him with the training collar for running into the road.

 

[389 Hood]

You trained him to not leave the property and he won't unless you lead him with a leash. He has some memory retention, you need to work off of that.
Mine knows that he can only go out the front door when he has a collar and leash on. Every other door is free access. No collar, no leash? He just stands there at the threshold.

 

[Duck]

When the dog is in the van, he NONSTOP goes back and forth between the window right behind me, and inside of his cage. Back & forth, back & forth. At red lights, he rocks the whole van a little bit. (Actually he's rocking it the whole time, it's just not noticeable unless the van is stopped.)

I tell him to quit hopping around like an idiot but it doesn't work.

On road trips he eventually gets tired and lays down

Mine hates trucks and diesel bikes. Any make but a Harley and he ignores it. If he even walks up to a Harley he'll tear the tires off of it. No clue why other than the original owner must have abused him and had a Harley. He has the whole back of a Crew Cab to himself with the windows down just enough to stick his head out.

If I was a dog I'd attack Harleys too.

Dogs have way more sensitive eardrums than we do.

My dad has a Harley. Almost never rides it but almost always starts it up idles it and revs it to impress me.

I don't care about Harleys but I love my dad.

That reminds me....

A few days ago my friend Ron was over with his fugly new girlfriend, on his Harley.

He parked it by the shop but when he was leaving, he said he was too drunk to maneuver it through the yard over to the driveway.

So I did it for him even though I was drunk too.

I never hit the throttle at all.

I did it all with the clutch like you do in a big truck. Nice torquey V-twin. I forgot the displacement but it's a big road king ultra glide bagger whatever they call their version of the Goldwing.

I was surprised to find out that it's actually possible to operate a Harley without revving the engine up unnecessarily and making tons of noise.

Who knew?

They're kinda like a Honda Civic at idle.

Don't get me wrong I think they sound good but they're just so expensive and it seems like every trucker has one so as a trucker I refuse to get one even if I actually would like to have one.

I refuse to be the stereotype.

That's why I drive a CR-V. Makes me an anarchist.

No such thing as a fugly girlfriend. You're married so you wouldn't understand.

Well,.. She's probably our age or older. Fat, like at least 200-225 lbs. Looks like meth destroyed her face. Her head never stops moving, it's constantly moving around, like a crackhead..

Unfortunately she instantly latched on to Sarah like everyone else on the planet, and she has been sending her voice texts every day since then. (Like little voicemail messages, audio instead of words.)

Today she was whining that Ron isn't answering his door, his phone or texts since Monday.

I'm thinking "well I wouldn't either"

I don't know what Ron was thinking.. He can do better than that.

Ron looks just like the actor who played the clown guy in the Rob Zombie movies. House of 1000 corpses and Devils Rejects. Just a tad shorter and balder.

If he just practiced & rehearsed this scene, he'd get all the chicks

Our dog is terrified of our quad the motorcycles basically anything with a loud engine. I think we failed him and didn't raise him right. Some will jump on and ride.

Ron's previous bike was an Indian. I forgot what model but it was faster than the Harley he's got now.

He sold it to buy a car for his tiny little 90 lb daughter.

No thanks. I'd rather use my own.

I saved a squirrel yesterday.

It was stuck trying to get through the garden fence, which is a wire fence, with its openings about 2" wide x 4" tall.

It got most of its body through, but then it's hips wouldn't fit because the wire fence was too narrow for it's hips. And it was too stupid to back up.

It had been there for a while, guessing by the bald spots where the fence wires were squeezing it's lower abdomen.

My dog alerted me to it. It got freaked out by the dog, but after I put the dog in the house, the squirrel remained calm while I carefully rescued it from the fence.

At first I tried pulling on it's tail, but I wouldn't had to pull hard enough to injure it, so plan B..

I squeezed it's hind legs so they'd slip through the fence, one leg at a time.

When it was free, it moved only a few inches & just sat there, hiding under a peona plant.

I figure it was either dying or it was just in pain.

It was a hot day and having no idea how long it had been trapped there, I set an empty, clean tuna can full of water right in front of it, and used my finger to put a few drops of the water on it's nose and on its front paws so it will know that it's water.

I didn't try to pick it up, because being a wild animal, obviously in distress, it would be too terrifying for it. And I've heard they'll bite. But there was a feather on the ground. I used the feather to gently pet the squirrel's head.

Then I left it alone for the night.

I just checked on it and it's gone, but the tuna can is empty. I think it drank all of the water.

I'll remember it if I see it around. It's tail was not bushy like the other ones. And it's got those bald spots from the fence.
