Cur Dog Pups in the House

« on: April 25, 2013, 09:39:16 am »

The mere title to this thread should send chills through you. In case it doesn't, allow me to share my recent experiences.

This all started when co conspirators Cward and Circle C decided that we needed a young, ready to start bmc pup rather than a finished dog to help Chris' dog Ruby. Many of you recall Ruby (Brandi daughter, making her a Tweety granddaughter) from her days as a hog dog. She was too rangey and worked a track slower than you'd want, and it got hard to find enough country to turn out on. So, Ruby had a midlife crisis and was told that it was now okay to bay cows. Well, after a bumpy start, Ruby Sue took to cows like a proverbial duck to water - but she needed a helper to keep the edges down. So, Cward comes up with the idea on this male dog, and Circle C figures he wants a young pup too. A Two-fer.

Young dog ends up needing time to get a second series of shots in before she can be exposed to the kennels. Hate to be such a stickler, but we do raise Aussie litters from time to time, and I can't risk anything getting into the soil. Into the house comes Biscuit. Now we all love the sound of a good bay, but folks I want to go on the record here as saying that squalling puppy baying inside your house is not pleasant. Everything goes as planned with Biscuit, she got her second round of shots, got a great start at being housebroken, and got stolen. By me.

Fast forward several weeks, and a similar scenario played out- only this time it was me who had been wanting a pup out of a certain female for years. Pearl is a granddaughter to my Lizzie through Ben Besch's Chili. Well, Biscuit worked out so nicely, I didn't think twice about inviting Pearl into the house while her vaccines sunk in.....

People, there are some things you just don't do. You don't pee on a hotwire fence, you don't feed a small animal obtained from an asian man after midnight, and you don't invite a six week old serial killer pup into your home. We feel like captives in our home. First, it was the squalling. Actually, that subsided the first two days because Pearl made herself hoarse. Now, our home is filled with low demonic noises emanating from the girls' room. Pearl is a big game dog. By big game, I mean that she hunts humans. I cannot get out the door fast enough when I open the crate door. She latches onto pants legs, shoes, and I swear I almost lost my arm at the shoulder. When she isn't dining on humans, Pearl likes snacking on the bullhide rug in the livingroom. Apparently, hair on bullhide tastes better to Pearl than dog food does, because she prefers it. Pearl works the system. At dinner, she invites herself by scratching, clawing, and climbing your leg. No amount of pushing her away makes her stop. I accidentally pushed a little too hard the other day. She flew across the room and landed on her head. Have you ever seen a really ticked off great white shark with PMS? Well, she hasn't got anything on Pearl. Nothing is sacred with Pearl. She equally hates leather couches, fancy bed pillows, and garden plants. Last night, she assaulted my rare Black Dragon Hibiscus. I sacrificed myself in order to save the plant, a regrettable decision in hindsight. Pearl eats your daughter's boyfriend. Okay, there had to be something positive to this creature. Now I have to find a way to explain his disappearance to the authorities and do something with that darned femur she was too full to eat.
I just want you all to think twice before you invite a cute, cuddly cur dog into your dwelling. The cause may seem just in order to perpetuate that sacred pedigree, but folks - it isn't worth your life. If nobody hears anything more from me, please don't come checking on me with anything less than a 30.06. Even then, be careful. Pearl is fast.

Cheers
M

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.
