A half Golden/half yellow Lab is a terrific dog. My cousin had one.
That dog had a very, very good day!
My two mini-dachshunds have 'built-in' clocks! When it's dinner time for them at 5 PM - they let me know - loud & clear!
Thanks for that story, I’ve never heard it before and I love it! I’ll be sharing that one! Thanks again... :)
Magslinger posted a link to a Twilight Zone episode, which I thought was interesting! I had got that story in an email a couple of years ago, and when I saw this thread, I was able to go back and find it.
Yup, my three doofus’ have barreled through that screen door a time or two.
They just kept smiling.
