We have dogs, don't we? LOL!<br /><br />Sid's favourite is a double whammy. He'll settle down to sleep on the floor as near to my head as he can get, but with his tail towards me (I fondly imagine this is a 'must protect Beloved Alphabitch' kind of look-out position) and then he'll produce a cloud of the most obnoxious gas and look at his bottom and then at <i>me</i>, accusingly. THEN he proceeds to lick his bits in the noisiest way possible, with the gloopiest sounds I've ever heard coming from a dog. He does it with relish and obvious enjoyment, and even my ear plugs don't block it out. LOL!<br /><br />By the way, he does exactly the same 'look at the problem and then at me' thing with flies too, should they dare to land on his beautiful golden hide.Jayhttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-36947593168518168072010-08-06T22:13:44.922-05:002010-08-06T22:13:44.922-05:00oh yeah! me and asa both love catchin' and ea...oh yeah! me and asa both love catchin' and eatin' flies!! asa also likes to hunt bumble bees outside...she's not even scared of their stingers one bit!<br />*woof*<br />the booker manthe booker manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492621421326726384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-19671010651297673632010-08-06T21:43:40.189-05:002010-08-06T21:43:40.189-05:00I do it too.

What I was going to say is that before my time, the family had a string of 3 fly catching dogs that spanned about 20 years, the first one teaching the next and the next one teaching the last. This was during the years when there were always kids in and out letting the AC out and the flies in all summer, so it wasn't a bad deal, they say. I don't catch flies myself and I don't think Franklin is going to either, but apparently the flies they ingested didn't seem to hurt the dogs and the house remained a no-fly zone so it's not such a bad thing.<br /><br />lotsa licks, LolaLola and also Franklin, toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972548673590973882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-28756695245923046082010-08-06T19:35:27.841-05:002010-08-06T19:35:27.841-05:00I'm raising my hand to that question!
