SPENCER NEWS AND WORLD REPORT    
   SPENCER
For the week of ...
Spencetember 2nd 2014
I noticed that I had an unusually large amount of photos of a yellow lab named Spencer in this weeks newsletter. Why fight it? I renamed this weeks newsletter for him! I even have an Facebook photo album of Spencer drinking from a water bowl!  
 
There are more Facebook photo albums from last weeks activities. Besides Spencer at the bowl, there are, Agility, and Saturday Additional dogs. The Additional Dog album made me proud of Dogman Nation. I only have three dogs in my 10:00 am Saturday basic Class. (next week there will be only two!) I put out a call for friendly dogs to come fill out the class. Three dogs came to make the class more groupy. The additional dogs really were good for Dude a rescued Puertorican street dog. Dude was afraid of the other dogs the first week and hid under the chairs. Last week he was running with dogs. This week he took the new dogs in stride. He especially liked the look of Louie. It turns out Louie looks like Dudes brother. If Dude's owner can send me his photo of Dude and his brother I will post it next a picture of Louie. Dog's brains work by association. Louie looking like Dude's brother made a positive association. Click below to see albums:

Sandi and me went for a romantic sunset stroll in Lowell Holly Conservation lands. I park outside the closed gate a quarter mile down a dirt road. There are only three parking spots. We return to the Dogmobile to find my window smashed and her pocket book, phone and keys stolen. Turns out there is a Conservation Criminal. He has struck at conservation parking lots in Sandwich too. He pried my window in to break it. He damaged my window track and door frame. My truck will be in the shop three days. It is going to cost a lot to fix.....just under my $500.00 deductible no doubt! Take this as a warning. When you park in a nice secluded place to walk your dog....lock you valuables in the trunk!
 
Dogboy caught a bunch of striped sea bass on a all night fishing trip. He gave me a fillet. Bauer (the black lab i.e. the anti-Spencer)'s Grand Parents gave me some cukes and some of the best homegrown tomatoes I have ever tasted. I made caprese salad with the tomatoes for an appetizer. I made a lemon/caper sauce for the striper and served it with risotto. I finished off the tomatoes in an omelet for breakfast next day ...so good!

Puppyboy went skydiving! It was one of those face your fears things. Once when he was a little boy we were driving over the Mystic River Bridge, he pipes up from his booster seat. "Did I ever tell you I am afraid of heights?....and we are on one!" It was so cute and funny. I hear from him when he needs money...so at least once a month!

 
MOVIE WARNING
  
I saw a very powerful movie that goes by the title CALVARY. It is a dark film that deals with very serious issues. Suicide, murder, Irish pedophile priests, arson, sexual violence, adultery, and felching (I had to look that one up...don't look it up if you are squeamish about human sexuality) are some of the merry topics covered in the film.....but that is not the worst part....at least not for me. If you see the film, and I do recommend it....don't get attached to Burno the priests dog! I felt that some of dog nation had to be warned, so they could make an informed decision as to weather or not to see the film or at least be prepared for the scene. This warning is not as much of a spoiler as you might think.
 Forewarned is forearmed.

Ty is now home safe and sound in his tackily decorated house after spending 18 hours in a Texas Golf Course drainage pipe. 

Ty had chased a raccoon into the pipe but could not get out. The K-9 Einstein had to be dug and cut out the next day. Billy Bob Williamson,Ty's owner accused the raccoon of tricking his dog into the pipe. I do not think it too much to "trick" Ty....and remember not all raccoons are like this.....


 

 

 

Oregon City, Oregon (what a great idea name a state after a city...that won't cause any confusion!) 8 year old Jesse was walking with his sister and some friends, when one of the children stepped on a rotted log that contained a bee hive. The frightened and confused ( I swear to God that is what the original reporter called them) bees unintentionally repeatedly stung the children over and over again. Jesse was in so much pain he could no longer move. Hades his pit bull ran over to him. She dragged him away from the misunderstood bees. She then let him climb on her back. Hades carried Jesse to his Mother. The children were taken to the hospital including Jesse's Sister whom is allergic to bees. She was saved by have two eppi pen injections. Doctors found at least 24 stingers in Jesse. Hades was stung too. She was brought to the vets. Children and dogs are doing fine. The bees are reportedly taking anger management classes.
