Al, I would have forced that dog under the water up to his jaw and held him until it was off. That was a rash thing you did, driving home with that man's stink on him.
Tuesday with Alfie

I tried to get him to hold him under explaining that He soiled the dog but He would have none of it.It was an outside dog so once we got him home I chained him up and let nature clean Him.If it had of been my crap on Him.I would have done it.Cap is crap but getting your own on you is some how not as bad as someone elses,even if it is a friend.
I have caught a couple black rats when with Guy.They always lay still and try to camo themselves but their shiny black and it doesn't work. Their a slow snake but great climbers.What i went after that day Bob must have been a racer.How any thing without legs moves that fast I"ll never know.
How I also learned about the dog species' interest in the end product of human consumption: several decades ago I dug a hole on the dunes to bury my feces. When I turned around to fill in the hole, it was gone. WTF?
Then I noticed my dog licking his chops. At least he didn't roll in it. Didn't let him lick me for a week.
My turn for an Al story: our first time out we were at the Parker Preserve, having a relaxing hike and shooting the breeze (Myself, Al and Bill). Keep in mind this was, if my memory serves me correctly, at the end of March although it might have been very early April. Nonetheless, it wasn't what you'd call a warm day.
Mid-afternoon comes and we're at one of the bogs and I was surprised to see a turtle basking up on the bank (because, as I said, it wasn't warm). I was curious as to whether it was a spotted or painted, and as we approached it went quickly into the water. So I turned to Al and said "damn, I wish I had gotten a look at that turtle". Al promptly removed his shoes (I initially wasn't sure why), then disappeared into the freezing cold water for about 15 seconds and comes up with the turtle in hand. Yes sir.

I think you got it by feel, I don't remember how much of your body you got wet but the water was cold and you sure as hell brought that turtle back out. It was a painted, here's the pic of it.

Al was so cold doing that it froze his brain and he can't remember the incident.
I can almost recall this but can't quite bring it into focus. I had a best friend when i was 6 and 7 years old named Anthony.He was a year older then me and bigger and stronger.We used to fight occasionally and he would always whoop me.To this day I occasionally run into a guy who tells me (Named Billy) that one day Anthony was messing with me and suddenly i went beserk and picked him up bodily and threw Him over the four foot high neighbors fence. he swears to it and i for the life of me cannot remember it. One thing to forget a fight you lost but I won this one and can't remember a darn thing about it!
Hey Bob. Scorching level burns were random. Huckleberry glowed orange throughout the burn area; it's quite scenic.

some burn areas were covered with fresh brown pine needles,others were black with no needles.I noticed these were the areas the trees were black all the way to the tops,no needles left.
