So true. When my oldest girl started dating, I would watch her dog, a gentle lab, react to a new boy. He was an attention whore, loved people, very docile, and yet some boys were growled at. Not one was allowed to go on the date, for their safety, if you know what I mean....

Back in the covid days I would leave Farmington, NM at 5pm and drive all night (15 hours) to go home, check on the house, and see my kids. The normal route took me through Clovis. The stretch between Tolar and Cannon AFB is pretty straight and very dark. About 1/2 of the time the ceiling is low, 100' or so and on a couple of the trips I could see a slight glow, moving, in the clouds, usually off to the left (south). Every time the glow would start a turn to the left, circle around, and line up to cross the road. Que Close Encounters of the Third Kind music. Every time the aircraft crossed directly overhead. I rolled the window down to see if I could hear it go over. Nope. No engine noise, no prop noise, nothing. It was a C130 but not like the old U models that my son worked on.
Would you let a man borrow that dog on Friday afternoon?
Sadly, he passed years ago. She still misses him too. On another website, I have read of too many youngsters being unable to spot "red flags" and I often ask, "Where is your family, best friend, dog?" Anyone unwilling to run the gauntlet, that's a red flag. My dog doesn't like you? Please, stay away. The backyard is getting so full.....
This brought back a memory from 40 years ago. Was hunting public land with 2 buddies and we trekked deep in the area as too many nimrods to feel safe. We scouted a ridge, then went in 2 hours before first light, sitting 30-40 yards apart. The guy in the middle missed the bobcat den entrance. She wasn't happy, and let out a scream 15 feet away from him. Second scary part? For almost 2 minutes, our "remote" ridge? All you heard was people kicking off their safeties, up and down the ridge. We left.
Creepy boyfriend detector. Nice, good dog.
As I was climbing the tree to my bow stand in the dark early one morning in northern MN I had a porcupine descending the same tree. Thankfully he turned around and climbed back up the tree. He sat on a limb about 8 feet above me all morning. He left me alone and I left him alone.
Ahh, the "U" boats. Deadly. Their capabilities are unbelievable! Nuff said.
When my son was in High School we went for walk in the bottom of the property (ranch) slow walking to see if we could come across some pigs. It took about an hour to make the round and we circled back to come across close to where we started. It was then I noticed tracks on top of our tracks I followed back about twenty feet and realized they were mountain lion tracks. I quietly told my son to back on out and get to the truck. When we were about a hundred yards from the vehicle I mentioned to him that all I had to do was outrun one person! He looked at me and laughed and took off running. He was in track at the time so all he had to do was outrun one person. It is a joke between us now.

Have you ever seen one that has been raised by people?
They are the funniest thing you ever see.
It's like a super happy dog wiggling all over and they make this squeak sound. But you have to wear thick gloves to play with them
