As Aunty Jack used to say ... "I'll rip ya bloody arm off!"

The neighbour's Staffy looking up at me as I lean over the Colorbond fencing while standing on a brick.

He does? He looks like he's ready to ..... waaaait for it ..... rip me bloody arm off!

(But you're right ... he is cute). 

And you should see his half-grown puppy-daughter. She goes NUTS every time I lean over the fence about twice a day. Makes loud noises of frustration as she tries to scramble up the fence to lick my face off.

The owners don't even know the doggies and I have a group hug or two every day. It's at the back of their quarter acre property. They think they own a couple of fierce guard dogs that'll .... rip the bloody arm off anyone who leans over the fence...

I wonder if the reason is that Staffies are wonderful with people, but tend to be aggressive towards other dogs, and so taking them for walks can be a bit of a hazard.

What surprises me about these two Staffies next door is that despite them never being taken for walks ~ they don't bark, and they're all lovey-dovey with me at least.

That's unique to my experience. If you want your dog to be a backyard barker, then never take it for walks.

There he is with the rubber ring in his mouth for us to have a tug-of-war with. And there's the daughter that never stops nipping and biting him.

Well, not lately anyway. Fell down a tall ladder not long ago and snapped a tendon in my shoulder. My whole arms hangs loose now just like my censored.

What is amazing to witness is how this dog puts up with the constant ragging and harassment from his growing puppy-daughter. It's a wonder to behold.

His brute strength and potential for killing within 30 seconds is all being held in check for love of his delinquent and naughty daughter.

No. One day I saw this female running around the backyard with him, and then a week later she was gone. Then just recently this pup turned up ~ and the owner said it was his dog's daughter.

Oh heck yes. I'm assuming they have distinctive smells that they recognise as their own.

No cataracts.

Another neighbour last week showed me her three puppy Boxers. Cute as.

I knew their mother ~ we had a secret love affair over the fence for a few years unbeknown to the owners. (Scrap food off my table).

She died giving birth to these three. Caesarian. Sad. Had a beautiful nature. A real loss to human kind.

there you go ... it's already halfway off ... just give to him you tightar$e

Sprint ~ Saying 'Just shoot them' doesn't cut it here.

If you back up that statement with a reason ~ then okay.

But otherwise we don't do mindless graffiti in this thread.
