Hey, what's with all the misspelled words?

I had a Newfoundland who lost his tail in this manner. It was so sad to lose that gloriously happy appendage, but the look on people’s faces when they’d ask “how did Otto lose his tail,” and I’d answer “He fell out of a tree” was pretty priceless.
I have to imagine the squirrels who he chased into the tree were pretty darned surprised, too.
Did he fall out of the tree and break his tail? Poor dog! And I want to see how this cutie got up there, and also how he got down.
Yeah, he did. The injury was bad enough, but then he made it worse by continually licking it. We had both an e-collar and one of the collars that looks more like a whiplash brace on him – at the same time. He’d brace his butt on something stationary (like a wall or tree), and contort himself so he could get around both collars and chew, lick, chew.
I bet the dog in the photo had a huge “uh oh” moment when he realized where he was.
My sympathies for your Otto, Curmudg, but it sounds like he was one smart and determined dog. Sometimes we bring our fate upon ourselves, and nothing loved ones do can stop it.
Oops. Lolspeak fail. Sorry.
why do you think they call them retrievers?
Barking up the wrong tree… ur doin’ it… umm… right?
Years ago when I was a little kid they had a dog that could climb trees on Johnny Carson. He might’ve been a retriever – I remember he was a golden color. I think the man who owned him trained him as a hunting dog. However the dog learned tree climbing on his own. Anyway the dog went up a prop tree, starting by wrapping his legs around the trunk and kind of scooting up until he could get to where there were branches. He got down without hurting himself as well.
dear god, yes!
my toller princess (her name’s sienna, and she’s 9 months old) is CRAZY about sticks – totally obsessed!
but right now she’s enjoying seeing snow for the first time in her life, and fetching snowballs that i throw for her.
