some dogs just wont stay where you put them
papa decided he had had enough of going duck hunting and shooting ducks that fell into the water and he couldn't get them. so he went to the pound here and found this Chesapeake golden lab retriever mix. dash was about 6 months old when he brought him home. now mind you this is a gal never grew up with any animals at home. never a pet one. so when he brought dash home Pauline and I freaked out big time this is one huge dog and he is all teeth as far as were concerned. ira got along with dash right off though. isn't that like a man though? Pauline and I spent a few days avoiding dash as much as we could though and eating our meals at the table with our arms lodged around out plates and our faces as close to them as we could LOL things calm down and we all got friendly. and time moves on. dash becomes a major part of all our lives and papa has him well trained. dash becomes our friend and is one loving member of our family and a well trained duck dog. he goes every where with papa and papa likes it that way. only thing is papa is driving this old beater truck and the shell on the back is something made out of plywood and has actual doors on the back that you can open up . that is where dash does his traveling at.
papa and him went some where and well dash seemed to know once that truck stopped it was time to jump out and maybe go home. there were no windows in the back so he couldn't see exactly where they were at. papa is on the free way and he had to stop suddenly and get out of the way of something going on in the middle of the road. like a box or something. all papa knows is it only took a few seconds and he drives on. only what he didn't know was dash thought it was time to jump out and he did only when he finally does papa is back to moving and well the lady behind him said all she saw was two doors open up and this big yellow dog jump out into mid air at her and then she put her breaks on as fast as she could to avoid hitting him as he flew towards her and went ass over head tumbling onto the road LOL papa brought poor dash home after a quick stop at the vets and dash had road burn so bad on his bottom end the fur was warn away LOl needless to say dash never traveled in the back of the truck again nor have dusty and evy.
we had to give dash up a few years later we couldn't keep him because the owner of the trailer park said dog goes or you do. papa was never so broken hearted over doing this but he found him a good home and made sure the new owner was good to him as he was. I guess dash has puppies all over town still and we are reminded of it once in awhile when we run into someone that knew him and says this is one of dashes kids.
he was one heck of a dog and sure made us all dog lovers too. :)
