[Reicher, James]

I grew up with a basset that could climb fences.  Once, he climbed onto
the kitchen counter and ate 3 pounds (about 1.5 kg) of frozen ground
beef.  Another time he knocked my mother's best cake plate onto the
floor so he could eat the strawberry (with whipped cream) cake.  He
licked up every bit but left huge swaths of basset blood on the floor
from his tongue (cut it on the shards of cake plate).  If you made him
angry, he'd wet your bed.

Current dog is a wire-haired dachshund, now 15 years old, who used to
jump from the floor over the back of the sofa and land on the floor on
the other side.  A great mouser, even now.  Once took on a Doberman who
ran like a scared rabbit.

Got both dog posts before being drummed out for too many bounces.  Luv
both
stories.

Hee Hee.  Once had a beagle that ate anything in sight, especially
paper.
Known rummage through a lady's pocketbook and eat her checkbook.
Actually
ate one of our kiddo's report card that had to be signed and returned to
school.  Took a phone call to convince teacher it really happened.
Would
steal paper napkin from your lap whilst we ate supper, then streak out
of
room.  One Christmas, my mother gave us a kilo of tea pressed into a
block.
Dog got into it and distributed the damned stuff everwhere.  From then
on,
he got into any present left under tree.

Current mutt is aptly named Pepper, most closely resembling an American
Rat
Terrier - a farm dog bred in early 20th century for pest control.  Has
features of Jack Russell, elongated whippet body and Chihuahua face.
Have
seen Pepper take on a Doberman, not his brightest move.  Pepper's chief
job
here is to keep pink elephants off the lawn and none dare come near.
Chief
hobby is licking his own arsehole.  When he licks you, ask where that
tongue
has been.
