FLASHBACK TO MY YOUNGER DAYS

JACK THE DOG

In April 2011, when I was just 3 months old, I took my mates Jack (the human), Matt, Sonny & the boss camping at Corny Point. Sonny taught me heaps about chasing & catching mice & we had a competition with Matt & Jack to see who could catch the most mice. They cheated a bit because they left their bottle & bucket trap set over night, but Sonny & I needed our sleep after chasing mice all day.

Sonny showed me how to catch & smash a mouse with my front fangs without getting that yucky mouse after taste in my mouth !!!!

Jack & Matt fried the mice they caught on the campfire, but some ran away before they were cooked properly !!?? Actually, medium-rare fried mice taste OK, as long as all the fur is singed off !! Sonny liked eating them too, but Matt & Jack reckoned they tasted FOUL !!

Jack told me to cock my right leg to do a wee & Matt told me to cock my left leg ?? Problem is they didn't say front or back legs ?? So I worked it out for myself .... I soon found that if I spread all my legs & lifted my tail, I didn't get my white socks wet with piddle !!!!!

Jack & Matt said "Let's go fishing". But they didn't tell me they had taken sea sickness tablets & didn't give me one. So it wasn't my fault that I spewed all over the floor of the boat & Matt's feet !!

Talk about wimps .... they compained heaps as if I had bitten a hole in the bottom of the boat !!??

And did they go off when the boss used one of Jack's thongs to scoop up my spew & throw it overboard. Didn't stop wingeing until the boss washed Jack's thong in sea water !!

And they didn't catch any fish either, so I told them that maybe dog's spew is no good for berley !?

Sonny taught me heaps about camping & catching mice ..... Sonny & Wild Dog are my heroes !!

Wild Dog had already left for dog heaven & Sonny was starting to slow up a bit, so I had to look out for him on this camp & make sure he was comfortable & had plenty to eat & drink.

After I was sea sick on Jack's thongs in the boat, he made me sit in the back with Matt. And if Matt thought I was going to be car sick, he would hold my mouth shut tight ... just in case !!!!

Talk about wimps!! .... I told them that dogs often spew up & re-eat it because it tastes better the second time !!?? Actually, I think I was being sick because of all those medium-rare fried mice that Sonny & I ate !! Which is Jack & Matt's fault .... they probably didn't cook them right !!??
