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.

Bowser is nearly indestructible and knows it. That's one tough pooch.
yeah. had a dog that used to bounce off everything when he got running full speed. at least up till he got to 8 years old. that when he started to slow down a bit. honest to God, a few times I thought I might have to take his ass to the vet. but he acted like it was nothing after falling/bouncing off whatever. he was a very good dog too. 12 years was not enough time with him, he always made me smile. big happy ,goofy pup.
Those English bull dogs are crazy. Spuds MacKenzie was an English bull dog. Used to know of one that wouldn't back down from any fight. She'd take the spirit from a Rottweiler in a week. She'd get her butt kicked but just keep coming until the Rotty gave up.
A friend had a dog like that. Also had a shed in the back yard that the dog surely knew he couldn't fit under as many times as he'd tried it. He would chase anything that came into the yard. If whatever he was chasing ran under the shed that dog would hit the opening full tilt and then spend the next couple of minutes trying to dislodge himself. Never whimpered once.

ReplyDelete"WANNA GO FOR A WALK?"
ReplyDeleteCould just be the jangle of keys being put in your pocket.
DeleteOne point of impact on the steps, one point on the first floor, and a bounce on the front wall.
