Here is a picture of Barney , the older one . He's about 15 in the picture , getting grey in the face, and the puppy is Rocky .
They were both Border Collies . Like I said before Barney lived to be 18 years old and Rocky now gone , last August , almost 17. And I had a Shetland Sheepdog , a (Sheltie) , named Nicholas, Nick for short , he got sick and only made it to almost 9 years old. They are truly missed, past family members !

You know I got Barney when I was 19 years old ! And I'm now 50...lol . Barney was the first dog I had on my own that was really all mine. I mean, I had dogs growing up when I was a kid , and what not , but they were really my parents .

Three years ago I took a job that was 4 hours away from home. For a whole year, I lived away from home 4 days a week. Rank has it's privileges though and I gave my wife a choice of me getting a girlfriend or another dog as I wasn't going to live alone during that time.

When I woke up from the anesthesia from the frying pan removal operation, I went and got Duke. His mothers milk had dried up and I got him when he was only 4 weeks old because the breeder didn't have the time to dote on him. During the last three years, he has been my constant companion at home and at work. He actually has his own chair in our board (spelled bored) room. He has his own business cards as VP of Security and bringing a dog to work has had miraculous results in the company morale. I took over an ailing company and old Duke became the mascot that pulled everybody together.

Dog spelled backward is God and there is something to that.

Duke says hi by the way

 

[dspin]

Awesome Torque, just awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'd get rid of someone else before Duke - thats my opinion though. Dogs always come first with me.

A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that she is staying home because she is not feeling well.
"What's the matter?" he asks.
"I have a case of .... glaucoma," she says in a weak voice.
"What the hell is .... glaucoma?"
"I just can't see my ... coming into work today."

Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble
"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."
She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along..

*****
A husband gives his wife a ring
And you have to declare the donation to the tax authorities.
*****
The same state, for an unduly tax of a worker
takes three years to correct the error.
*****
In the most problematic areas of urban areas there is 1 police to every 2,000 inhabitants;
The government says it needs more police.
*****
A teacher takes a scratch of a student
And the government says it is the fault of social causes.
*****
The cafe on the corner closed because it had no toilets for men, women and employees.
Forum Montijo WC Pizza Hut is 100 meters and has no place to wash hands.
*****
The government encourages people to seek energy alternatives to oil
And then fine who puts vegetable oil in cars because ISPs do not pay tax (petroleum products).
*****
In prisons are distributed free syringes by HIV,
But it is forbidden to consume drugs in prison!
*****
A 14 year old kills an adult, not old enough to go to court.
A 15 takes a slap from his father, for stealing money for drugs, domestic violence is!
*****
A family who's house collapsed and has no money to buy another, the state has no money to make a new one has to live as they can.
6 Prisoners who killed and raped the elderly living in a cell of 4m and without private bathroom, are not to live in dignity and human rights association makes a complaint to the European court.
*****
Soldiers who fought in Africa at the behest of the government of the time in defense of national territory is not recognized them no cause or right of war,
But the prime minister praised the troops who are defending the homeland in KOSOVO, AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ.
*****
You start out on January the IRS and you will only receive the surplus in August of next year,
Unpaid finance on time after a day they have to pay penalty and interest.
*****
Closes the window of your balcony and a work to do these illegal
construct a slum and nobody sees.
*****
If your child has no head to school and you put the 14 years to work with you in a respectable profession, it is exploitation of child labor,
if you are an artist and your child with seven years participating in recordings of operas eight hours per day or more, the child is very talented, goes to the father or mother!
*****
0:50 a pharmacy paid? by using a syringe to give a drug to a child.
