Have you ever been ashamed of your dog?

We've had a little chihuahua for a couple of years (named Gnat). Weighs about 4 lbs. She always chases the squirrels in our backyard, but has never even come close to catching up with one. Anyhow, today was her day. I was watching her play when all of a sudden she cornered one up against the shed. Both animals were so surprised that they just stood there for a second. Then the suirrel jumped on my dog and absolutely whipped the tar out of her. Took me a second to beleive what I was seeing. Then I went and chased the squirrel off with a broom. No real damage, but all day my dog has been yelping and cowering at even the slightest flinch around her. Doubt she'll be chasing the squirrels again.

George,
So your dog just had a bit of trouble letting the squirrel go.[:D][:D]

We stop in front of a cafe with outside tables, and the dog squats down and drips out a diarrhea mess. Someone had feds it some kind of meats scraps somewhere before we could stop them, and it sure didn't agree with the dog.

Because the first time I read that story, I honestly laughed myself hoarse.
A little tiny yap-dog constantly picks fights with the squirrels, until one day it meets a squirrel that knows better which proceeds to whip the living crap out of him.
Oh man...priceless. I'd pay money to see a video. [:D]
I was never ashamed of my pup until I met Wundudnee's big pup. Damn his dog is TALENTED!! Hey Scott, got those 10MM's yet? Or should I say have they THAWED out yet?[:D]

I bought a couple of boxes, but I'm a wimp. Come on over the first warm day you can and we'll see if that thing is all it's supposed to be.[:D]

Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
DBV: I really hope you're not fishing for sympathy here or something.

Not looking for sympathy for my little rat-dog. If you knew my dog you'd probably laugh even harder. It was probably the funniest thing I've seen in a long long time. Priceless.
If you passed gas your dog wouldn't be embarrassed in the least. He'd just lick your face and still love you. And look at the size of his nose, if anybody should be embarrassed and offended, it should be him.
A squirrel and a rat are pretty closely related. You'd chase a rat away and not put it in your mouth. Why should he? And you'd probably flip out if the rat jumped up on you too.

You get out of life what you put into it. If you put nothing, you get nothing.
If this isn't a reason to be ashamed, I don't know what is.
Ohmygod....I laughed so hard I cried. The looks on their faces are the best. "My parents are home!"
My girlfriend brough her parakeet over to the house. It was a pretty kewl bird, and she used to leave the cage door open so he could fly around. He talked and everything.
My lab was about 5 months old. She had instinct beyond your wildest imagination. I wound up naming her "moxie", but my buddies used to call her "fetch". She would retrieve ANYTHING.
Well, apparently, when we were out, the bird started flying around, but as usual, he got tired. Normally, he would fly over and land on the curtains, then crawl back up and jump on his cage and go inside. Sometimes, he would get tired and land on the floor. Well, that's what he must have done on this occasion.
I walked in the door and my dog had this CRAZY look on her face. She kept blinking her eyes and looking at me...INTENTLY! I asked her what was going on and she just stood there, blocking my way, tail straight out..and eyes blinking.
I bent over and gently pinched her mouth back by the jaw muscle and she opened up. Low and behold, "Mr. Bird" (that was his name) was sitting there on her tongue, FREAKED OUT, but still okay, soaking wet in Lab slobber!!! He was fine. FREAKED completely out, but fine!
The bird lived for another 11 years, and Moxie for another 14. They were the BEST of friends! Mr. Bird used to ride arond on her back, and she didn't care. When Mox would lay down, he would nip at her feet and she would give him the look like..."remember that day when I almost ate you?" He would back off.
I don't know, but I raised Labradors for years professionally, still have them...and that, to this day, is a pretty amazing thing!!
Only a Lab (I think) could have that patience, instinct and skill. How she didn't kill that bird on that day, I will NEVER know.
The gene pool needs chlorine.
