I am bored out of my head, had a second hernia operation and feeling sorry for myself Can't wait to be back on my feet and out with the dogs If alls well I might take Murphy next Sunday on his first visit to the Northern Pedigree Whippet rasing club and let him meet up with the rest of his clan :lol: I believe his dad, nan & aunties and uncles attend, lets hope he is on his best behaviour .

Anyway thinking how to stop the bordom I thought, us all being dog lovers there must be lots of funny stories to tell about are best friends...So the the challange is make me laugh as I'm already in stitches :clown: :-

Many years ago in my youth I had a Jack Russell called Kim, my parents had got me her for company when my brother left for a career in the forces,,sad as i was to see my brother go? :teehee:

The word had got out :- to a couple of lads at school, that I had a half decent Jacky, I was invited out for a days ratting, at the time the nearest Kim had been to a rat was Hammy my sisters pet hamster :b

The arrangements where they would call at my house on Saturday morning, then we would go onto the River Alt.

Friday night, I put my rope on the top stairs ready for the early up and out, the rope, I would be using as a lead on Kim instead of her lead and collar? well you have to make the effort don't you,Looking the part and all that :-

I asked my mum to wake me up handy before going to bed.

My mum woke me the next morning and said there was some lads outside waiting for me, I jumped out of bed grabbed my rope while runnning down the stairs and met the lads at my frontdoor, they had with them a pack of hardbitten terriers with attitude and lurchers all shapes and sizes

(Thinking to myself have I got time to rub some dirt in Kims coat before they see her?)Naaaaaaaa,, leave it.

I shouted for mr mum to let Kim out of the livingroom, the door opened and Kim came running

My little sister had been up before me and been playing with Kim and had put her in a babygrow and woolly boots & hat :rant:

Do I need to say any more, Things were not that bad, my parents where of great support to me, they let me change schools although they would'nt sell the house and move or put my sister up for adoption. :teehee: :thumbsup:

:clown: COME ON FOLKS YOU MUST HAVE LOTS OF (TAILS) TO TELL

My mums just phoned, checking on how I'm doing, told her about my post regarding Kim, a much loved and missed friend,

She told me quite a funny story about my auntie Joan, who is nolonger with us but a very funny lady without knowing it,

Eg. one of my cousins was a fireman, a fit looking bloke, who was in the firemans calendar the hole family very proud of him,none more so than my grandma, now my grandma still held onto her victorian values, on Sundays when she came for her dinner, Kim my dog who loved the old woman,would suffer to get close to her. My grandma because of her bad leg, would grab Kim by the scruff, telling me to leave the dog, it'll calm down now, while proceeding to wack it with her walking stick :wacko: the dog would then submit to her, Grandma,I thought in those days was just being the Alpha Bitch o Kim would be on her back, my grandma would have another go at her for showing her bits (w00t) .

Back to auntie and the calendar, She got mixed up, This time while around my grandma, My auntie thought she complement my cousins sixpack and said to my grandma, You wont to see the lunch box on him :teehee: meaning sixpack, My grandma went for her :rant: , we all fell about the floor. :teehee:

My auntie Joan loved dogs with a passion,One day she was out collecting, for the provi, on a horrible wet day and she noticed this poor dog soaked through to the bone standing out side its garden gate,my auntie stopped and let it in, some time later she was passing the same house and this poor dog was back outside the garden gate, My auntie thought she'd help the poorthing out but being in a hurry she opened the gate ran down the path with the dog, rang the doorbell ran back up the path closed the gate and carried on her way.

The following week a lady ran after my auntie giving her a ear bashing :rant: the dog waiting at the gate was a horny old devil waiting for some old bizzy body to open the gate and ring the frontdoor (So he could run in the house and have his wicked way with her pedigree pooch. :- :teehee:

Hi, can't think of a funny animal story at the mo, but you'll recognise what I'm on about.....

we used to go regulary to Dovey baths through the summer hols, it should've been 3 d on the bus but we used to always try to get away with 1 d and save the 2 d for sweets from Dovecot shops on the way home when we were starving after a few hours in the baths, the walk home in the old fashioned summer sunshine was blinding due to the large amount of chlorine they put in the water when it was busy.

Our dog, Carlo always tried to get on the bus with us and we had to pretend that he was nothing to do with us so we didn't get chucked off !

hope you get well soon !

I'm from the Aintree area of Merseyside but can't relate to your experiance of Mersey travel, honest o :lol:

I love a good story and always try to see the funny side of things, My grandma could tell a good story, we would often listen to her stories, God, she could talk and most of it was fact, she could go back four or five generations of family all pased down by word of mouth about the old country and the potato famine of the 1840s , the Black and Tans also her own experiance

of 1s & 2

I've enjoyed reading this thread so far and wish I could add to it, but I never remember things off the top of my head these days :wacko:

I'll ponder a bit and see if I can remember any stories :thumbsup:

Hope you heal up soon :luck: My husband had a double hernia op about 3 years ago - he wasn't a good patient :lol:
