We're Off...Monday, you know what is so bad about Monday, really the only thing is, it makes me hate Sunday..Stems from when I was a kid, I hated Sunday spent all morning in Church..9:15 Mass with my class, then back for the 11:00 high Mass that took well over two hours..From the time I got up until 2 P.M. I was in shock, then naturally Sunday afternoon was spent doing homework..This was not a good scenerio for a fun lovin, and free spirited kid..So, as I grow older, I kinda think, I hated Sunday and Monday because I related them to St. John The Baptist Catholic Prison For Boys..Anyway, here it is Monday, and the DOG Days Of August are upon us...When we speak of the creature we have named DOG, in most cases that I have seen throughout my life, it is with a reverance reserved for the best of humanity..Read the name backwards, GOD, and what does that tell you about this creature..In my experiences with DOG, I have had nothing but love and admiration for mans best friend..When you are down and alone, your DOG would always be there for you..They are a creature that has been with man since the cave days..they would first just come around the caves and scavenge for the bones and other edible substances that were left about..They were more wolf like than the breeds we see today.Man noticed that these creatures were actually playful and quite more low key than a real wolf..they enticed them closer and closer, until finally they lived together, ate together, slept together, and most of all in some early depictions on the walls of the caves of times, they hunted together...They gave early man another weapon to be able to feed their various tribes and they even started to protect them from other animals..As the centuries moved on the DOG became more and more domesticated and started evolving, into the creatures we know today...Today there are many breeds, we all kinda have our favorites.Me my favorite breed is the German Shephard..I shared one with my daughters family, and I swear that DOG (Sabrina) knew every word I was saying to her..She had to be the first one to romp all over me every morning and she knew when it was play time and serious time..I have never met a smarter more loving DOG in my life..I had a DOG when I was a child, and this mother fucker was nuts..but I probably had a hand in making him that way. We wrestled every day, he raced and beat all the kids on the block, and I won a lot of baseball cards..He also ate everything in the house from furnishings to Strebors record collection..My Dad would come home wasted and sit at the bottom of the steps telling Old Chip that he was the only one in the family that loved him, and at two A.M. on a week night he was right again.I also had a GODDOG you can read that backwards or forwards also, his name was Bro Morris,. and he was as surly and tough as a DOG could be, but I know my friend Dave pretty good, and those two had a book full of experiences together..I saw Dave cry a few times, never like the day we had to put his buddy Bro down..I honestly believe DOGS are also, creatures that have a soul..Look into your DOGS eyes sometime and you can see the love, the admiration they have for you..You can throw that DOG across a room, you can smack him with a paper, you can yell and make him cower, and ten minutes later he will be back lickin your hand and dropping a leash at your feet..Time for a walk partner..Yes in our modern world they do present problems, but ask anybody that has a DOG or had a DOG for a companion and I guarantee that they will say it was worth it...So, today here at the Ville we will honor DOGS during the DOG days of August.. We can do famous DOGS or you can tell us about a DOG that was special to you...Doesn't matter no rules, come on in sit right down, baby let your mind roll on...
I think we all would agree that Lassie and Rin Tin Tin were the most famous DOGS, the reason being, they came into our homes each week with new adventures and tricks they performed in their shows..They actually were actors, that is amazing..There were movies about DOGS and I loved just about every one of them, starting with Old Yeller..Turner and Hooch,. and the one with Jim Belusi, as the cop with the German Shephard, I liked it when he let him in the limo with the Poodle..great stuff. WOOF!!! GROWL!!! BARK!!! and run, I am outta here...

My favorite tv dog was Nit Nit Nir, oh wait thats backwards Rin Tin Tin. But the greatest of all dogs was Brandy my lil Daustun that thought it was a Doberman had that lil sucker for 17 years and it never left my side.I told Dave that Brandy would kill Bro and Dave said prolly . Bro would choke to death on her.
Lol I rember when Bro was down margate with us and we walked into Maloneys and Bro is walking right alone side Dave and the door man said whoa you can't bring that dog in here! Dave said i'm blind he's my seeing eye dog! The guy says no your not I know you guy's. Dave said I'll be blind when I come outta here. He goes well he's still not alowed in. Dave said okay but you stop him. Well Bro looked like a friggin wolf and just snarled at the guy and he said head right on in Brother.
Ahhhhhhh......Unconditional love..........I have had two dogs for about 30 years or so........2 Goldens, then one Golden and one Sheperd, then one Sheperd and one Bernese Mountain Dog.That is where I am at now....Sheperd and Bernese. The joy is incomparable......The playing and fun time is special....They are very smart and know what you are thinking before you do.....They are worth every bit of aggravation that you can go through......Good subject, Simple......Dog people are a different BREED and you can pick them out. Never trust someone that is not.........
Yeh, Mc Bark, I agree, a lot of those child molesters and serial killers start out hurting and killing animals, sick fucks..
Funny story about my dog Chip..My Mom and Dad were going to Baltimore for the weekend, and as soon as their car turned onto Valley Ave, my friends cars pulled up with kegs and girls.Well about midnight, we started pouring beer on the tiles and yep, old Chip he started licking it up, and he got smashed..Strebor was yelling down the steps, quit giving that dog beer..Marty Harrity (Mayor of Sanibel Island) yells back we ain't givin that beer any dog...yeah Chip the drunken mongrel..what a trip was Chip...
