Dingos are great looking dogs.

FRANKC, I haven't had a Dingo yet, but I'll put Dingo's on my short list of dogs I might want to get in the future. Looking back, I've only had these breeds as my best friend: Cocker Spaniel, Dachsund, Collie, and Old English Sheepdog. My lady friend has had many more dogs over the years. Her most recent is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He is perhaps the smartest dog I have ever known.

Bed bugs better look out...



I thought the radio commercials I was hearing were a joke. Dogs that could smell out and find bed bugs...? No way I thought, so I asked my good friend and exterminator, Ralph Hall (Watson) if it was true. Ralph told me that it was, and these trained dogs can actually smell and locate something as small as a single bed bug egg. Ralph also told me that what he had learned from the exterminator conferences that he regularly attends, was that this infestation of bed bugs that the United States is currently having to cope with, has been brought here by illegal aliens from south of our border, who unknowingly brought the little devils with them.

BGTUNA, I was befuddled by your post, until I did some research. Now I know that it was a humorous reference to the movie "A Cry in the Dark" (1988).

Here's a link to the movie's trailer:

p.s. The original title of the movie was "Evil Angles".

p.p.s. I'm going to add it to the "Obscure Movies You Like" thread.

A car chaser par excellence...

Years ago, before leash laws deprived dogs of their constitutional canine rights, our family had a collie that loved to chase cars. I guess cars must have been the closest things to sheep that Kelpie could find to round up, so she went after them pretty much every day, until the day when a car got the better of her. She came whimpering home, dragging her broken back leg behind her. A trip to the vet, a cast on the leg, and she was back, where everyone smothered her with affection as she limped around with her cast.

One would think that her car chasing days were over. Nope, she would limp up to the highway, and continued to chase cars despite the cast.

She never got hit again, and lived to a ripe old age (somewhere close to 20). Though she never learned her lesson not to chase cars anymore, she did learn one thing. For the rest of her life, whenever she wanted to get affection, she would start faking a limp as if she still had a cast on to get people to hug and pet her.
