A dog named Sex
Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Spot". I
call
mine Sex. Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the
City
Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a
license
for Sex. He said, "I would like to have one too!"
Then I said, "But she is a dog!" He said he didn't care what she looked
like.
I said, "You don't understand.... I have had Sex since I was nine years
old."
He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy."
When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to
have
Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was
over. I
said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world
revolves
around Sex." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and
would
not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex
at the
wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My
family
is barred from the church from then on.
When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When
we
checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me
and my
wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the motel
is a
place for sex. I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at
night."
The clerk said, "Me too!"
One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began,
the dog
ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I
told
him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should
have
sold my own tickets. "You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have
Sex on
TV." He called me a show off.
When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of
the
dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married but Sex left
me
after I was married." The Judge said, "Me too!"
Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A
cop
came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in
the
morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." --
My case comes up next Thursday.
Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more troubles
with
that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my
first
session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the
trouble?"
I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left
me
for ever. I couldn't live any longer so lonely." And the doctor said,
"Look,
mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend, so
get
yourself a dog."
Bull Terrier story
To: Jnjgentle@aol.com
Add Addresses
I have had Bullies for nearly twelve years. I had had no major
incidents
prior to this. I attribute this to my professional training. I have
been a
police officer for 17 years. During my jail tours I developed skills
in the
handling the unhandlable; such as serial killers; Randy Kraft, Charles
Bonin,
and even Richard Ramirez ( The Night Stalker ) So with the experience
I
gained in keeping these guys under control, I have always done the
same with
my Bullies. Never an escape nor a major destruction of property.
Then came the new dog... Kingsmere Casanova... AKA Cosmo. He is a
maniac.
The wildest, most hucklebutting dog I've ever owned.
It happened a few months ago when Cosmo was about 6 months old. I woke
up
that morning feeling down, but being the dedicated employee I am, I
went to
work anyway. (I hate using my sick time when I'm sick!) When I got
home I
was looking forward to going straight to bed, as by now I had a fever
and
body aches. But, to my dismay I had forgotten my daughter's Softball
practice. I could not press my wife Laurie into taking her because she
was
already taking my son to ice hockey practice.
So I left home with my daughter and returned some two and a half hours
later.
The first clue something was wrong appeared when I opened the garage
door.
The garage was flooded. "WHERE DID THAT WATER COME FROM?," I asked my
daughter.
I walked to door leading to the house from and garage and opened it. I
heard
the sound of running water coming from my daughter's room. WHAT IN THE
HELL,
I thought. I lurched into my daughter's room, and was met by the sound
of
water squishing in the rug under my feet. I peered around the corner,
to her
85 gallon aquarium which houses rare and exotic Rift Valley African
Cichlids
from Lake Tangayika, ( and Yes - of course...expensive) the tank was
nearly
empty. The water had all escaped, wet the rug and seeped out through
the
drywall into the garage. MY GOD, MY GOD, I yelled, MY FISH! My daughter
followed me as I went to open the equipment cabinet under the aquarium
to see
what kind of mechanical defect caused this tragedy. I OPENED THE
CABINET
DOOR, AND TO MY DISBELIEF THERE WAS COSMO INSIDE THE CABINET, he had
the
aquarium water out-flow hose in his mouth, the last few ounces of water
drinking from it, as he shook it like a madman. He looked up at me,
with a
look of surreal satisfaction. His little, black, beady eyes glinting in
the
dark cabinet. He had a strange look , almost a smile on his face. A
million
thoughts ran through my head. ..... How did a dog get inside a closed
aquarium equipment cabinet, how did he get inside the house... It did
not
take me long to place the blame.... ON MY WIFE! She had forgotten to
put
Cosmo away when she left for hockey.
I picked Cosmo up, and walked him to his crate. My feet squishing in
the
soaked carpet. As I walked I surveyed the destruction. He had been in
the
house over two hours, by himself.
He had systematically clipped all the electrical cords from their
plugs,
leaving the plugs sticking out of their outlets with little piggie
tails. Why
he didn't get electrocuted, I don't know.
Cosmo also chewed up my son's brand new hockey helmet, and in an
attempt to
get a toy out from under our couch, he ripped most of the fabric off
the
lower portion of the sofa.
He emptied the kitchen trash can and had strewn the trash throughout
the
house.
But the Coup De Grace, The Piece de Resistance, That little touch that
only
the evil mind of a pigdog could think of, hit me last, and sent me over
the
edge.
As I walked through my bed room I began to smell something, and notice
stains
on my walls, leading from my bathroom to my bedroom, through the
hallway and
into the kitchen. I entered the bathroom and the full realization sank
in....... One of my children, one of my precious, lovely children, whom
I
love... But who have the bad habit of not flushing the toilet, had gone
"NUMBER TWO" (defecated / had a bowel movement - for our international
fans
not familiar with American colloquialisms) and did not finish the job
by
flushing, nor were they troubled by closing the lid.
Cosmo had found this interesting object floating in the John, and
plucked it
out. He then ran hucklebutt through the house, throwing it in the air
as he
did, as evidenced by the streaks on the wall.
That was it, I lost it..... Just as my wife came home. I began to cuss
and
couldn't stop. I never yell and was now doing so at the top of my
lungs. My
neighbors came out in dismay...... I finally calmed down, nearly cried,
mentally and physically wrecked, and spent the next four hours cleaning
the
mess up. A professional rug cleaner was called (Extra $$$ for late
night
emergency), and my children forced to clean the "art work" off the
walls.
Late that night after I had fallen asleep, I awoke with a start, I had
a
sudden realization of what that mysterious look on Cosmo's face was
when he
was in the aquarium cabinet...............
IT WAS A SHIT EATING GRIN.
But,
I still love my Bullies.......
Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep...
I sleep right in the center groove
My human there can hardly move!
I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight
And here is where I pass the night
No one disturbs or dare intrude
Till morning comes and "I want food!"
I sneak up slowly to begin
My nibbles on my human's chin.
She wakes up quickly,
I have sharp teeth- I'm a puppy, don't you see?
For the morning's here
And it's time to play
I always seem
to get my way.
So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs and holds me tight
And shares her bed with me at night!
Smart Dog
A Dog walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there until it's his turn to be waited on. A man, who was already in the butcher shop, finished his purchase and noticed the dog.
The butcher leaned over the counter and asked the dog what it wanted today. The dog put its paw on the glass case in front of the ground beef, and the butcher said, "How many pounds?" The dog barked twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds ground beef.
He then said, "Anything else?" The dog pointed to the pork chops, and the butcher said, "How many?" The dog barked four times, and the butcher made up a package of four pork chops.
The dog then walked around behind the counter, so the butcher could get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate amount of money and tied two packages of meat around the dog's neck.
The man, who had been watching all of this, decided to follow the dog. It walked for several blocks and then walked up to a house where it began to scratch the door to be let in. As the owner opened the door, the man said to the owner, "That's a really smart dog you have there." The owner said, "He's not really all that smart. This is the second time this week he forgot his key."

THANKS FOR NOTHING
Driving down a winding country road, a man came upon a youth running hard, three huge dogs snarling at his heels. The man screeched his car to a halt and threw open the door. "Get in, get in!" he shouted.
"Thanks," gasped the youth. "You're terrific. Most people won't offer a ride when they see I have three dogs!"

"LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE" didn't sleep with dogs.
The first thing you discover when you bring a dog onto your bed is the striking difference in weight between an alert, awake dog and a dog at rest.
Rule Number One: The deeper the sleep the heavier the dog. Most people who sleep with dogs develop spinal deformities rather than rent the heavy equipment necessary to move their snoring canines to a more appropriate part of the bed. Cunning canines steal precious space in tiny increments until they have achieved the center position on the bed - with all covers carefully tucked under them for safekeeping. The stretch and roll method is very effective in gaining territory. Less subtle tactics are sometimes preferred. A jealous dog can worm his way between a sleeping couple and, with the proper spring action from all four legs shove a sleeping human to the floor.
Rule Number Two: Dogs possess superhuman strength while on a bed. As you cling to the edge of the bed, wishing you had covers, your sweet pup begins to snore at a volume you would not have thought possible. Once that quiets down, the dog dreams begin. Yipping, growling, running, kicking. Your bed becomes a battlefield and playground of canine fantasy. It starts out with a bit of "sleep running", lots of eye movement and then, suddenly, a shrieking howl blasted through the night like a banshee wail. The horror of this wake-up call haunts you for years. It's particularly devastating when your pup insists on sleeping curled around your head like a demented Daniel Boone cap.
Rule Number Three: The deeper the sleep, the louder the dog. The night creeps on and you fall asleep in the 3 inches of bed not claimed by a dog. The dog dreams quiet slightly and the heap of dogflesh sleeps breathing heavily and passing wind. Then, too soon, it's dawn and the heap stirs. Each dog has a distinctive and unpleasant method of waking the pack. One may position itself centimeters from a face and stare until you wake. The clever dog obtains excellent results by simply sneezing on your face, or they could romp all over your sleeping bodies - or the ever-loving insertion of a tongue in an unsuspecting ear.
Rule Number Four: When the dog wakes - you wake. So, why do we put up with this? There's no sane reason. Perhaps it's just that we're a pack and a pack heaps together at night - safe, contented, heavy and loud.
Clean up tip
A minister was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners who was known for being a poor housekeeper.
When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes were the dirtiest that he had ever seen in his life. "Have these dishes ever been washed?" he asked his hostess, running his fingers over the grit and grime.
She replied, "They're as clean as soap and water could get them."
He felt a bit apprehensive, but blessed the food anyway and started eating. It was really delicious and he said so, despite the dirty dishes. When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside, whistled and yelled, "Here, Soap! Here, Water!"
