A Little Fable - Page 25

Actually, Char, the infusion therapy place gave me a wig, it's pretty cute, but I'm not used to it yet, so I'm collecting scarves. My brother & his wife bought me some gorgeous scarves....I just have to learn how to tie them!!!
Blitzen, Ansgar has inherited Kali's abilities to sniff stuff out, so she has it out for that port. And Carl said the whole time I was in such pain, she whined & whined; she's my nurse-dog! Funny thing, she has no interest in our replaced knees!
Sunsilver, I'm looking for a Cancer Sucks baseball cap, lol!
Thanks everyone!

Jackie, I have never had dog that is so intrigued by human scents. It gets embarrassing when she "examines" all the neighbors; everyone here wears shorts most of the year LOL. One of her previous owners told me that she caused quite a scene at the desk of a hotel when she gave a complaining  woman wearing a skirt a complete rectal exam while she was leaning over the desk yelling at the clerk. The woman screamed that dirty dogs should never be allowed in a hotel,  but the people who were waiting behind her for 20 minutes listening to her irrational  complaints cheered and the dog received a round of applause She just loves laundry day when she can sniff all the dirty laundry as I sort it out in the shed. There has to be  a way to make money with her, I just haven't figured it out yet. What would we have to laugh about if we didn't have our dogs?

The gal in my sig never learned the meaning of 'no sniff!' either. Everyone who came into our house got a crotch check.or butt sniff at some point!

She was constantly poking my husband in the crotch too. I didn't realize until much later she was probably trying to alert him to his bladder cancer.

One day, Roger wasn't paying much attention to her after he let her out of the car, and she went up to a passing woman and stuck her head up her skirt.

Roger was alerted to the incident when he heard her exclaim, "Oh, I love dogs, but THIS is TOO MUCH!"

Turned out she was an off-duty cop, and she gave Roger a bit of a tongue lashing. "You need to teach your dog the meaning of "NO SNIFF!'"

Well, we did try, but were not terribly successful. When we took Tasha into a motel room, she wouldn't settle for at least 20 minutes. Every inch of the room had to be checked out by that nose of hers!    Sometimes she jam the nose leather up against the carpet, and take a particularly deep sniff, as if to say, "AAHHH, 1978 Chianti...that was a very good year!" 

If she hadn't been a rescue, I'm sure I could have earned quite a few tracking titles with her! (No titles for non-pedigreed purebreds in those days. This was before the PEN or ILP numbers.

Lol! Too funny! Ansgar was always very polite, until that day she shoved her wet, cold nose into my belly up to the eyeballs! Until then, I was pretty sure she was fairly UNtalented, tho ' oh-so-pretty!

LOL, Ansgar's a doctor!  You'll both be ecstatic when that thing comes out, party time.  

Drake has to sniff everything that comes through the door.  Link used to sniff candles that I'd be getting ready to light  I used to ask him if he approved... he always did, we had the same "taste" for scents   Man, his life was way too short, I only have 18 months of memories, I cherish each one.  I often think about what he'd be like as an adult, he was such a good boy.

All I know is, we feel good knowing your loyal GSDs are there for you, no matter what.  You're in good hands 

Philadelphia's channel 6 just had a segment about the University of Penn working dogs being trained to detect ovarian cancer!!
I get very excited about this!!!

I wish I'd have seen that, Jackie.

How's it going?

I wish I would have seen that too. As someone who lost my precious mom to ovarian cancer, I'm especially excited about this as well.

Please let us know how you are doing, whenever you feel up to it. Xxxxx
