Hi Bob!

It is amazing how they keep things going by their inbred skills. My neighbors 
sometimes squawked, "Hey How come Your garden doesn't get eaten up by the
pests?" We have a lot of squirrels and rabbits etc. The boys go after them, 
never catching them, but they make a sport of it. This keeps the problem in 
other yards which aren't quite as protected. 8-) 

It must be nice for Your little guy to have backup in that 110 pound lab ;-)

I have two pugs, and somebody forgot to tell them they are little dogs. It's 
funny to watch them go around the yard. Kind of stride for stride, We call it 
"Pug Patrol" as we watch them circle the whole back Yard in search of
intruders.

You also remind me, I may have told it here before, but it was a long time if 
so. I had a black lab. It was an early winter morning still dark and I let her
out the back door.  I watched her.  she lazily walked out, looking at me she
turned around and there was a little cotton tail.  The dog jumped a foot in 
the air and ran so fast across the yard.  It was hilarious to see a little
bunny scare the heck out of an unsuspecting lab.  Guess she would not have
made a good hunting dog huh?  8*)

Have a good One!
Mike
