Bye Bye Kitty Cat.

My dog Roxie is a full blooded AKC registered Boxer. She has a severe under bite and is the runt of the litter. Many people say she looks like a bull dog, but that's because after many years of breeding Boxer's begin to shrink. She's still my dawg. One thing for sure she's smart. She knows a couple of words like food, hot dog, and bacon. But she also knows the word CAT. If anyone says that around her she immediately lunges toward the backdoor (which has a large panel of glass) and begins barking and looking for the furry thing she knows as CAT. Well this weekend I hear what sounds like person being beaten to death. I run to the back yard and what do I see, Roxie has captured her a cat. She was on top of it like white on rice and it wasn't going anywhere. But then the cat retracted its claws and grasped onto Roxie's nose. Roxie gave a loud weep and tossed her head in the air and with it the cat. 3 feet, 5 feet, 7 feet. I have never seen a flying cat until now. It didn't last long. The cat was falling back to earth and Roxie was ready she was waiting in a perfect "I'm going to get you" stance. She had her again. I was screaming " Let it go, Roxie let goooo!!!" Ya right like that was going to happen. Luckily the cat found away to get away... with some of Roxie's nose. We knew the cat would not make it after Roxie had it. So we set out on a cat search but turned up empty handed. The sun went down and we came in. Hours later it was time to let Roxie out to use the grass. I waited a couple of minutes then went back to let her in. Ahhh!!!! What do I see. Roxie with a lifeless cat body in her mouth; with a look on her face like " Can I bring it in? " Poor cat. I felt bad but I guess all the cats in the neighborhood should know by now that behind that tall wood fence theres a smart brown and white dog that knows all to well the word CAT.

Hot wire and sun glasses

Have you ever touched a cattle wire? Well they have electricity running through them and from what I have felt and heard its alot. I was in a class at my school called Animal Science: Large Animals. We learned all about cows and had lots of hand on training with them on a local farm. We made many trips to the farm in class and I loved the hands on dirty work. One day we were standing out side of the fence watching the men and some class mates feed the cows. It was very sunny this day and I had a pair of sun glasses on the top of my head. I was the tallest person in the class me being 6'1". No one knew there was a hot wire or cattle wire above all our heads. Well I went to put my sunglasses on. When I pulled them of my head I heard a little humm sound in my head. All of a sudden it felt like someone had hit me with a car or my heart had turned in to a giant drum and some one had just hit it hard. I fell back and the first word out of my mouth was, well its not very nice so ill just say it was another word for what was on the ground all around us and it smelt really bad. Every one was looking at me and my teacher, who was ear tagging a calf, had heard what I yelled and came to check to see what happend. I was shaking and soo embaressed. Lucky for me I didnt fall in the cow pies on the ground. My teacher didnt really care about what I yelled he just wanted to make sure I was ok. I had to act cool because all my lady friends were near me. " James, James are you ok?" Of course I am that didnt hurt Im a man. On the inside I was thinking Crap that hurt im shure glad im not a cow. A couple of hundred volts to the heart nope that dosent hurt at all. Well at least now I know to look up when at the farm and that metal conducts electricity.
