Yeah, pony stories.

I had to keep the back door locked because Beau Jest would open the back door, come into the kitchen, open the refrigerator, and help himself to whatever was in the crisper.

He never gave up hope. Several times every day, he would rattle the door knob, hoping I'd forgotten to lock the door.

I got one its been 2 years I still cry over it.
We had this SPECIAL dog we had many dogs THIS one was SPECIAL,she all but talked.WE called her Mickey She was a 4 yearold jack russell.She had a spot on her back perfect mouse head ears,long snoot with a little nose on the end,so we called her Mickey,My daughter and I would come home shed fuss us.It was funny,Well it was Nov 2, about 2 years ago hubby went out to his office.He took both jack russells .Mickey was short hair long legs the other patches was a puddin,short legged long hair total opposites,.They loved to go to the office.I watched them follow him,I went to get ready I was going away.I went to go my hubby said the dogs are gone.He came out they were both gone.I got home about 3 the puddin was at the office,no Mickey.Mickey was a hunter we dug her out of a many a ground hog hole,she killed ground hogs bigger than her.We could smell a little skunk on patches nose.We think what happened she chased a skunk in a hole,a tight one,she got sprayed under ground.The breeder said thats probably what happened,she died quick,we yelled in ever hole we could find .We never found out sweet Mickey.Just the thought of her under ground waiting for us kills me.
My hubby was on a walk in woods with her once she ran ahead till he got to her she was sprayed by a skunk ,she came out of the hole he said she was throwing up already,its lethal underground.
We have 40 acres it was somewhere here.We never found her,

I'm so sorry for your loss of Mickey. She sounds like she was a wonderful friend. Animals can get into the biggest messes, kind of like people.
By coincidence, my first dog I had as a child was named Mickey. She was a black cocker spaniel dad got from a farm. She was a real character, and now my granddaughters love to hear "Mickey" stories.

Do you still have just one dog? Patches probably misses Mickey, too,if they were pals.

No we got another JR to keep her company,I go for dialysis 3xs a week,I need a kidney.She was home allday alone,THIS ONE SURE DOES KEEP HER COMPANY.Shes addicted to patch.
Anyway shes cute shes tiny,when we brought her home she was so small she'd crawl in your pockets.So we call her "Joey" shes so little.A JR when born is about the size of a mouse.
