Pictures of Your Pets.

Life imitating art.....

LOL------------indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Lab Harley and the grand pup Murphy

This is Miss Kitty doing her best to stay warm on cold winter days..... Loves to lay on the radiator watching the days go by.

We have had Duchess for awhile now. She has had a good life, but at eight years old, it was time for her to retire.

For 8 years she was out with the sheep, 24/7/365. Whether it was 95 degrees outside, or -25 below zero, she was with her sheep. On her watch, we never lost a sheep to a predator:

(2) Fox
(2) Coyote
(1) Eagle (chased off)

She did her job well. In the end she did contact Lyme Disease, but when we sold out of sheep last fall, she finally came into the house. I call her "Grandma Dog" because all she does is sleep and snore. But she has earned that right. She is retired now.

Then there is our cat from Hell, such a bad cat that even Satan himself would not keep her, and yet here she is!

She is a Korat breed of cat, and lives up to her breed-type. Dumb is she ever dumb. She likes to get right up in the dog's face and make the dog snap at her.

Dog=140 pounds and killed (2) fox and (2) coyotes and the cat is 4 pounds...as I said, not too bright, but a very pretty cat.

Yes, she is a pure-bred Great Pyrenees.

She looks pretty harmless, but she is fierce and loyal. We had a low-life come to our house a few weeks ago at 2AM, and I thought she was going through the door to get to him. The police got him eventually, but if I had not kicked the door shut in time, she would have been all over him.

Being sick, I often do not sleep well, so most nights I move to the couch so that I do not wake Katie. Anyway, a few weeks I ago I am asleep on the couch, the TV on and my dog is outside. She barks when she wants to come in, and was she ever barking. I mean really barking, so I think, "Man, she really wants to come in."

So I open the side door where her kennel is (pasture), and she barrels across the great room to the front door, snarling and barking.

Well I have been woken up out of a sound sleep for about 30 seconds, and go to let her out into the mudroom so she can bark at some racoon in our trash, and not wake the wife or the kids. But as I pass by the window that looks out over the front porch, I see this reflection. So I lean this way, then I lean that way, and suddenly realize it is not my reflection, because the reflection is not following my movements. It is some guy on my front porch at 2AM.

No car.

No tracks in the snow.

And I realize what this is. He has got some friends waiting up the street waiting for someone to step out of the house so they can rob me.

So I yell to Katie to call the police, but of course this guy is 3 feet away and my shotgun is 12 feet away...kind of bad math on that. So I go for the shotgun, but having kids in the house I do not keep it loaded, so it takes me a second to throw some scatter shot in it, and head out on the front porch. The guy hears "call the police" and takes off, front door half ajar from where he tried to open it, so I kicked it shut so the dog did not run out and tackle the guy. My Great Pyrenees has got (4) notches on her collar for confirmed kills; two coyote and two fox. The last thing I need is to put my dog down because she grabbed a guy by the throat and shook the crap out of him. But by now the guy is beating feet down the road...

No one heard me yell, so I find everyone is still asleep, so I call the police.

A gun in the hand is better than the police on the phone, but both is much betterer,,,

So then I hear the snowplow coming up over the hill, so I run out and ask the plow driver if he has seen some guy out in the snow. Well come to find out it is some 20 year old that was running his ATV up the road, spinning and having fun in the new snow. He ended up running out of fuel in the middle of the road, and he was sideways drunk. He was looking for help to drag his ATV out of the road before the snowplows put it in the ditch for him. I guess he never thought about what chances he was taking by showing up on the porch at 2 AM and opening a person's front door.

I am friends with the Sheriff here, and come to find out, he was an undesirable after all. I guess he had stole the ATV, but chose one without a lot of gas in it, so he did not get far.

But running out of fuel on a stolen ATV, he still did not look as stupid as I did. I am standing there, looking out the window, weaving back and forth to see if it was my reflection in the window or not. I must have looked pretty dumb.

Okay, not pretty...just dumb.

And yes, I keep my semi-auto loaded now...and much closer to the door. I probably would not kick the door shut again either, let ole Duchess get another notch in her collar if she wants. The guy opened the front door, the Deputy said it was self-defense of a homeowner at that point.

Kinda Scares The Hell Outta Ya'

No Smoke, I keep access to a loaded firearm. I have five kids that range in age from 9 to 19 and the Wife is pregnant with number six. All of my older children have taken the hunter safety course. The little guys has been through the NRA Eddie Eagle program. We spend time shooting and cleaning guns. We handle them and have an explanation on safety. I keep a Bren 805 easily accessible. Hope to the Lord I never have to use it in anger.

Agreed & a big +1 on all that A

Cz USA says the bren 805 is LE only. Do you have the A1 or A2? Either way, color me extremely jealous.

I believe it's the A2 semi auto. I really enjoy it. Couldn't be happier. It's piston driven so it runs a little cooler and cleaner. And its unique.

Moe is enjoying the comfortmax
