Man, it would take me forever...
My OL picked up this junk yard dog from the pound when I was on the boat (we had decided after the last dog went bad that we not going to get another dog for a while) and I consented to it after she said that the pound let her 'test it out for a few days' before buying it... and the kids loved it...
Now, I'm not trying to bash my wife or give her a hard time. I did say it was ok.
So, anyhow... this punk starts peeing in the house all the time, come to find out, he has bladder stones, 1500 bucks to get him fixed. Soooo... I tell the doc to go ahead an give him the bullet. But, when the I go to get the dog to give him the bullet myself, the old man (nice guy
) says that he talked to my OL, and my kids, and how it would break their hearts to see Cletus die, so he was going to do the surgery for free, and I'd just pay the stuff for the x-ray and medicine. (about 500 bucks). Sooo....
We get him fixed and at home, and then he pees on the floor a few more times, then craps on the rugs that my OL had just got done steam cleaning all dang day. So, now Cletus is out in the yard on a chain. OL wants to off him now, and I told her that if we kill him, we're eating him after what I paid for him.
So, now I'm building a fence. I've done it all my life, so no biggy. What's the first thing that old Cletus does? Diggs out. So... I try a few things that probably are not a good idea to make public. Then, I got an electric fence and installed it just on the side that he had been digging out on. Diggs out on the other side. Run the fence all the way around.
So far, so good... but I'm waiting for him to dig under the house to get out!
Told ya it was a long one.
