Get a retriever. They don't know the cat toys aren't for dogs.

Whens' the last time you heard of anyone taking their cat to the duck blind?

I really want a dog, but the DW refuses on the grounds that they terrify her. She got chewed up once as a young child. frown

Did she not see what a cat did to you? Seems a bit selfish to me.

Oh well, get her another cat then, and (try to) teach it how to fetch. That ought to get yer blood flowing again.

Either that, or since you've now had a similar experience with a cat, you can both do without. Won't win you any popularity points, but fair is fair.

I had to relinquish my Chocolate lab when I came to the realization that I wouldn't be around enough to take care of him, and the wife wouldn't do what needed to be done for him either. He went to a happy home on a ranch and last I heard is enjoying life with a 16 year old boy.

Shortly thereafter, we found a house in Florida that we wanted to rent that had a no pets policy. The wife's mini dacshund went to a new home. Now we have no pets, no messes to clean, and we save money on no more pet food and supplies. Kinda sucks, but quid pro quo. She didn't want to take care of my pet, and I no longer wanted to pay for hers.

I'm sorry to read this, Blast. I was just thinking about Shine when I came across this book and remembered your own misadventure (for a second I even thought the cover photo had been lifted from your site). Such sad news.

Thanks Christina. Wow, that book cover really does look like a picture of Shine after The War.

Do it, Shine would approve. Better, get the Siamese and a young retriever. Nobody should be afraid of a Golden Retriever pup -- it ain't natural.

I'm sorry, man. I know he was your nemesis, he arched you. What would Spiderman be without Doc Ock? Superman without Luther? He was kinda like your Joker.

And don't count the war won yet- we live longer. He'll be back in a new body soon enough. And once they've got the taste, they never let go. Even in the next life.

Sorry for y'all's loss Blast.

Sounds like he was a worthy adversary and trusted friend.

So what you are saying is another unkillable creature hungers for my flesh? Great.
