Yeah. I don't need a sign to tell me that. (Anymore)

But I did have another chili dog incident. My friend and I went to Wienerschnitzel. (I know, I know but I can't help it) I ordered a chili cheese dog and a kraut dog.

So anyway. I go out to the garage because I have a package out there and my German Shepherd is with me.

I walk back in and my buddy is eating my kraut dog so I ask him what he's doing?

He says that I owe him a hot dog.

I ask. How do I owe you a hot dog?

Because your dog ate mine.

No. He was with me.

Not Duke. That one. He points at my little Havanese.

So I asked where did you leave it?

He says. On the table. I had to use the bathroom and when I came out it was gone.

I have no idea how that little dog got on the table. But he obviously did because he had chili on his face.

GUILTY!!! CHILI DOG THIEF!!!! Here's the mug shot.

Paul- I had a 7-pound Maltese dog that could jump high enough to end up on the table. If I let her hair grow long enough, she wouldn't have looked much different from your Havanese. I bet your Havanese jumped up on the table and stole you chili cheese dog. <.< >.>

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I seriously don't know how any of these things can happen with chili dogs. I've never known one to last much longer than when it was handed to me. Isn't that the idea? Take dog from vendor put in face?

Indeed. Though I did recognize the guy running the local Cupid's and finally got to where he used to work at the local Home Depot. I had to bail, that dog was getting cold.

I buy them by the bag. I don't get over to town too much so I stock up. They microwave nicely.

Or you could just leave them in the car for 3 days.

That Havanese is sneaky. This isn't the first time he's done something like that. He got bacon off of the island in the middle of the kitchen and it's pretty high. But when it comes to food that little dog doesn't mess around.

My GSD Duke always gets blamed because he's so big. He can reach anything. And he has a record of stealing food. He stole an entire rotisserie chicken right behind my wife's back. We found what was left of it all ripped apart in the backyard. And don't leave butter out to soften up. It won't be there long. He likes butter. I have to put it in the microwave to keep him from getting it. He'll probably figure out how to open that though. He knows how to open doors (and lock them) He's locked me out a few times when he gets mad at me. I think my wife taught him that one.

Oh great. Now I'm getting Oscar Meyer banner ads. No thank you. My brand of hot dog is Kunzler

All these nuts/bolts/fasteners and they are all fake. But at least they hid the lug nuts . Can you count them all?

Gotta love dogs! That reminded me of what my old wolfdog did once. My wife had partially unwrapped a cube of butter and set it on the countertop.
Turned away for a moment and heard his feet hit the floor. Dante was standing there with the wrapper stuck on the end of his nose. The butter was gone.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Years ago, we had a Maltese (sister to the jumper I previously mentioned) who would eat anything. One day on poop pickup patrol, there was a bill (paper money) in one of the dog squeezin's. That had to hurt!

My buddy had a Samoyed. It stole a pie and ate it. And it ate the pie tin too. It was pooping out metal. Ouch!

Gotta love dogs. I love mine. Except for the cleaning up the poop part. I could live without that.

Be careful what you wish for. I once said if we ever got another dog, it had better be self-cleaning so I wouldn't have to pick up after it. Then we got Dante, the wolfdog. When he was young, he would sometimes eat his own poop. Not good. I got some stuff to stop that nasty habit. It was supposed to make dog poop taste bad. Are you kidding me? You mean it didn't taste bad already?? Anyway that stuff didn't slow him down much. He finally outgrew it (mostly) and I stopped wishing for a self-cleaning dog. At least we knew where his bad breath came from.

Bad breath from the butt...er.

Our beagle/dachshund mix eats the other dog's poop, then comes in the house dry heaving. I was eating lunch one day and she came in and blew chunks under the table. I went into the garage so I could finish my lunch, then went and cleaned it up. Yeesh, poop-scented vomit.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I was following the wife through Hobby Lobby a while back and strolled down the model kit isle where I found about $30 is the average price for 1/25th scale model cars now. I kind of hate to say it but I remember when I paid $1 to $1.50 for one and that was for an AMT 3 in 1 kit meaning you could build it stock, drag or custom or a mix of all 3.
I've got a '70 Chevelle SS kit in the closet I've been saving on for 15 years or so and figure I'll get around to it this winter, maybe.

THIS is why I don’t like pets.

Unfortunately…

I’m married with 3 kids.

So we have a couple.

I don’t clean up a thing, that’s a hard line.

If I did, I’d be blowing chunks right next to it.

Then never get a German Shepherd puppy. They are great dogs but the worst puppies. A year later and they are fine. You just have to get though that first year of chewing and crapping in the house. (Maybe 2 years )

But he is good security. Nobody that doesn't know him gets near. If I didn't know him I wouldn't go near that little fence either. He goes psychotic with strangers. But my dumb friends can walk right in and drink all my beer. He could care less.

That's where the term shi-teeter originated.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

When I first moved into this house I had steaks on the grille. I had to run inside real quick. That's REAL QUICK, since I had steaks I didn't want to burn. I dart back outside and no steaks on the grille. Out neighbor's dog stole them both that quick. I hope she burned her nose. I got to know what my neighbor was all about that early when I told him what happened. "You shouldn't have left the steaks on the grille". What a genius? I had never thought of that. Since that day I have always taken my steaks off the grille during cooking to carry them inside if I need anything

I wouldn't sell my Jimbo kit for under $100... but it's a sealed original 50 year old kit. I think the re-issue licensing adds to the cost of these re-issued kits. It's a new company formed to do it. It's great to see them come back but in today's world it shows how expensive life has gotten. Back in the day they were made to be sold to kids, now they are an adult specialty hobby so bumped up a bit extra. An old guy told me when I was young that I'd see the day a hundred dollar bill will spend like a twenty. Seemed so impossible, but I think we've passed that point. That $30 for a kit is about in line with what I used to pay in the '60s. But a dad could flip out the 2-3 bucks back then easier than the 30 bucks today. I used to combine multiple kits to build one. Then add the cost of all the paints. I wonder what those little Testors paint jars would cost today? You could have $100 into building a kit

I'll never buy any of these kits. I have some spares (newer re-issues) to build one day.
