A great book for all dog homes is "From Riches to Bitches ans a Cadillac for your vet." It talks about things that only a dog person can appreciate..but what happens when the non doggy family collides with your household?
Relatives can be total idiots. My girlfriend has two dobes. The female has high ball/frisbee drive. She will leap, run, never get tired. Bea's brother-in-law comes for a week and they tell him to just leave the dogs alone. Well, Bea is in the kitchen and she hears the female barking frantically and here is Joe Smoe in the backyard with both dobermans, where he was told not to be, and a ball and he is pretending to throw it and then tossing it up and catching it. The barking is getting more demanding and Joe is taunting the female...you know the drill. My friend tells him to stop because the barking will disrupt the neighbors AND the female is about beserk AND Please come out of the yard. Joe holds the ball out to the dogs, tosses it above the females head to catch it and yeap!!! she leaps up and gets hands and ball. But wait, just a few punctures, a little cefadri in the wound and it's okay. So Joe goes out early the next morning and starts fake throwing again. My girlfriend says she is laying in bed, hears it scrambles to the window, sees Joe waving the ball , closer and closer and wham female gets his forearm as he is waving it over her head. Five stitches this time. Joe's wife says, "Don't worry your brother's lab got him this summer too." What??? You married him why? What does he do for a living? Anyone want a practice dummy? Alright, anyone have a relative and your dog story??? Anne
