There will be no christmas this year due to a small "airspace separation error" between two flying craft.

Default X-Mas Activity Update

Hey Vets,
Christmas Eve the Shadman(Shadow the golden retriever) & I have a project.I dug out the toboggan f & his reindeer ears which he wears over his floppy ears plus his red clown nose to look like Rudolph & we're gonna visit all the male veterans on my street with a 24 case of Molson Dry beer secured to the toboggan.He's in training as I speak.Only problem is I have to carry a half pound of doggie biscuits to entice him to move forward.The only hitch in the program is he gets cold only half an hour after we do the test run,he turns around & heads right back to the house one half a block away spilling the empty case all over the place.As an update,I can only report that with my boss Debbie,I may be sleeping in the doghouse outside on X-Mas eve while that golden reindeer sleeps inside>Women ruin all the best laid schemes of men(&goldens).I think she's reporting me to the SPCA.

Merry Christmas to all

That's funny...

I once had two 100+ lb Goldens, and together, they could pull a toboggan with two kids on it about 25mph! Especially if they saw a coon or skunk. What a hoot. The kids loved it...

BTW, you can address "Vets" as "VD"... works for the rest of us, and so far we're still without chancres...

Hey VD,

"Get LAID"-Heck there's hardly enough room for me & a case of 24 in the Doghouse unless you include the golden & a skunk he may befriend as Sunray eluded too!!Update on the test runs-went quite well if I include me pulling the toboggan home late last nite with the whining golden reindeer laying on it with his head flopped down on the empty case of 24 & his reindeer antlers askew sideways on his head plus his cold paws(memo to self-get large dog booties for a 110 lb reindeer )for next test run).I think I gave him too many milkbones.Now getting harder to convince him to go for late nite walks especially when he spots the toboggan.

Default X-mas Activity Cancelled

Hi VD!!Sorry to report the Xmas beer run cancelled for tonite.As I type the Shadster is sleeping comfortably on my college daughter's bed.Anyway,went out drinking with my Prez & VP yesterday & it carried over to late last nite's test run.The cops were very friendly when they let us return home,We'd only gotten about 25ft from the house when they pulled over next to us,The friendly lady constable suggested the Shadman shud be arrested for impersinating a reindeer,while her face was being licked.I think that's what saved me.Luckily the beer case was full of empty bottles.They asked if the bag of milkbones was my late nite snack!!Learned that there's a law here in Quebec that beer cases,when being transported must be out of sight.

Anyhoo!!Merry Christmas from me & the Shad,if he ever looks at me again

Gary,
Does that mean you have to drink the beer BEFORE transport?

Default Thanks for asking JD

Nope,the beer case was empty.I was tanked up from our Xmas lunch.As I type this. the golden is laying beside me here in the basement den.As a matter of fact each time he rolls over to another position,he moans & looks at me.What did I do?.At least he(and I)weren't arrested!!My wife is on her way home from work.Hasn't talked to me today.Must have been the red & yellow flashing lights on the police cruiser that caught her attention last night

Merry Christmas from the DOG HOUSE-need any milkbones-have a bag full!!

Default Xmas Eve Incident!!

In closing out this troublesome Xmas thread,forgot to mention last nite's incident.duing my nightly duty walk or shud I say, staggering along with the retriever ,on his nightly walk.Had him on his leash,minding my own business,watching out for the local constabulary with their pretty red & yellow lights on top of their squad car,when lo & behold,a lump of snow hits me on my winter touque.As I look up this fat guy in red lands on the street,and as he does so, I see snow falling off the sled runners.So I yell ,asking, who the H-ll does he think he is-So he retorts ,laughing at me."Ho Ho Ho"!!.Sooo,not wanting to be arrested by our local enemies,I told him that, because he had thirteen golden retrievers with fake antler horns,pulling his sleigh,I & my faithful retriever,being outnumbered, would just go home.Also told him to watch out for the cops, what with that big bag of ,probably Milkbones, in the back of his sleigh,as our cops are wary of such things.Showed that guy!!
