Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

The Roo was mostly Dutch Shepherd. Think of Dutches as Maligators without an off switch. We've mostly had GSDs (or German Shedders as we like to call them.) Dutch Shepherds are on an energy level all their own and if they get bored, you will KNOW about it.
I was/am completely enamored by The Roo and was devastated when she stroked out on me. It kind of fractured my bond with Kayda and I am working hard to mend that.
Understood. The bonds created between a man and his dog are serious strong. My wife often comments I get separation anxiety when away from my hound for very long but suffer no ill effects when separated from her! Hah! I fear she may be a little bit correct. As for the shedding, I pay a neighbor girl to vacuum at ten bucks a throw! She is trying to save up for sparring gear. Her and Hemi are hilarious together, Hemi has about thirty pounds on her. Her Dad brings her over and then He and I go out in the shop and sip Bourbon while she vacuums! Everybody wins!
