The bird and the dog both make burrows and share the same color; the third egg is supposed to hatch into a red and black tazi.Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-21590776400983922552012-01-11T16:16:11.701-07:002012-01-11T16:16:11.701-07:00Ummm-- he is a Chessie; motto "MY way." ...Ummm-- he is a Chessie; motto "MY way." <br /><br />Just as Ataika is queen of Kazakhstan- Lib once told someone who asked what her name meant that it stood for "My shit doesn't stink" in Kazakh.*<br /><br />Some odd temporary couple, a cowboy and a New Age woman, got one of those dog psychics to read their blue heeler, known around here as blue anklebiters (or, shades of Firesign Theater, "tirebiters"). It started out badly when the guru conflated "heeler" with "healer" and went downhill. apparently he bit because he had been mistreated in a pevious life. actually both Wade and I suspected he bit because he was a BLUE ANKLEBITER.Steve Bodiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434597061701369867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-72750007293860149582012-01-10T21:21:38.656-07:002012-01-10T21:21:38.656-07:00Darrell, I never actually saw the psychopomp bog, ...Darrell, I never actually saw the psychopomp bog, and I don't trust my memory about what breed she is!Chas S.
