...Dogs... :)

When we were living in the CA foothills, we adopted an Akita dog named 'Buck'.  We were on 5 acres, and figured that we needed such a dog for security.  We couldn't let him in the house, I am allergic to dogs.  So, he lived outdoors, but his doghouse was under our patio cover, so he didn't get wet, and we had blankets in the doghouse.

Buck did watch over our property, I would see him watch any cars that entered the dirt road that passed by our lot.  He was probably hoping that the car was...MY PARENTS CAR!!!!   :)  I didn't know that dogs could recognize a car...

When he saw it, he would run down the driveway, and run beside it, barking as my Parents entered our lot.  He wasn't angry...

My Parents ALWAYS brought him treats!   ;D...

My Mother said that they always stopped at a place on the way to our house, and would buy Buck a nice bone, or something else.   ::)

...You got that right, Nate, cats are smarter, or more sneaky.

We had a semi-feral female cat that hung around our house on five acres.  We fed her, after my kids pointed out that she was catching and killing gophers.  I kept saying that we needed to catch her, and get her neutered.

 Nobody listened to me!!!   >:(

She was away for a while, (We called her 'Rita', after a cartoon character).  One day, I was at the side of our house, and looked at our back door, and Rita was sitting there...WITH FIVE KITTENS!!!!  I went into the house, and said, "Rita brought her kittens to us!"  My two children raced out, and captured the kittens.   :P

So, we had to buy more cat food.  The kittens got to trust us, it was kind of nice.  Rita would lay down in her bed, and the kittens would swarm around her, and she would bat them away.   >:(

My daughter arranged for 'adoptions', she would take a kitten to school, and give it to a friend who wanted it.

We did get Rita 'fixed'.  We kept two of the kittens, they were males, with jet black fur and huge yellow eyes.  They were tame, since we fed and played with them.  But... :)

They were ALSO HUNTERS!!!!

We didn't have anymore trouble with gophers or ground squirrels...

Cats smarter than dogs?

Tell that to my pit and shepherd... they had a name for cats... LUNCH!!!!!

SO much for cats being smarter and better hunters, especially when they become the hunted.

...*LOL*...you have a point, Rags, but cats are 'sneaky'... ::)

Our Akita, Buck, was chasing a cat across the dirt road, and my kids and I started cheering him on..."GET THE KITTY" we yelled.  Buck stopped, and looked back at us, and the cat jumped on his back, clawed him...and then took off.  Buck spun around, confused, and then took off after the cat, but...he didn't seem to be putting as much effort as he had, before.

The cat jumped a fence, and got away... ::)

...Izee' sings to the memory of Marcus Hrolfson... :'(

...https://youtu.be/VG84qrx0oMg

...He was such a good r/p'er.  He made me laugh a lot, and a few times I just logged off and cried.  (I knew that he was dying of an illness). We had a lot of fun, we roamed all over Gor, and did our best to amuse typists, and to get the players involved.  Once, at one Home, the Jarl assigned me to plan and supervise a Festival.  I thought that I had it all worked out, but Marcus had been working behind my back.   ::)

...The Festival was a DISASTER...NOTHING WENT WELL!!!    :o

...I got 'caged' for three days...but I was laughing my ass off in r/t.  Marcus had gotten the other typists in on the plan.  The Jarl grabbed me by my hair, and THREW me into a cage, and scolded me for not planning, better.  I just held the bars, apologized, and crawled into the furs in the corner.   :o

...*S*...I was his 'Companion'...but, during the next three days...he r/p'd having fun with the bonds...as I sat in the corner of the cage and ate oatmeal...and watched him.   ::)

...We would pm during those times, talking of r/t issues...

...I miss him so much... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
