And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Take one afield. Mine was the smartest dog I've ever known and with zero training, he was the most intuitive bird dog I've ever seen. Racking a shotgun in autumn with the front door open was akin to voluntarily sacrificing another screen door. "HOOOOOMAN!!!!!! I'll meet ya at the truck!!!!"
I cannot do ANYTHING down low to the floor without being attacked by my mutt Shannon. If there is something that absolutely must be done, then I have to put her in another room. She's lying here on the spokes of my chair right now.
golden retrievers are great for a lot of stuff but mostly for just being a dog

ReplyDeleteThe love of a dog. Nothing better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fine line between helpful and annoying. Fortunately, said line is invisible to Goldies. Wouldn't have it any other way.
ReplyDeleteNow if only Goldies could train girlfriends to do that.
DeleteI had a big old male cat that would do that.
ReplyDeleteYou've got dog memory...like me.
