Bowmanville Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 29, 1986-7 For Richer For Poorer VIKI BATES It's A Dog's World, Isn't It??? For years the Funny Farm has known the yelping of dogs, the potholes in the ground, the flowers that were shredded and the tires that were christined. Unlike most places that sports a dog or two, we are fortunate to have four. My own personal' pride and joy for eleven years needs no more introduction introduction than his name "Wolf". Many a human has quaked in his tracks when Confronted by this ferocious canine. But only a select few have know the clamp of those powerful jaws on human flesh, one in particular, a misfortunate jogger who turned up the turf with "Wolf" in hot pursuit and never seen since. It's been said he prefers to deal with moving metal along No. 2 Highway rather than those tusks on the baseline beat. Today Wolf is retired preferring to rule like an overseer on his domain. domain. Lolling on the lawn beside him can be found another pensioner who should have won the congeniality congeniality award for dogs if there was one. And yet even though a wheelchair will soon be on order and teeth are now firmly installed with poli-grip cement people still have an aversion more to their size than,their bite. After all what harm can a dog do that can only gum his way up your leg? If we had left it at those two, life would have been simpler. But there's a sucker byrn every minute and every transient that has ever found his way to ,the Funny Farm realizes there are twd living here. Miska was a Samoyed, But women can be fools and she was no exception. To this -day we do not know the lineage of the father. 1 claim it was George who was found sashaying up the road with a grin on his face and carrying a ladder, a tool necessary on order to do the job right. George was the size of a rodent, and through some freak of nature had no hair except a tuft on his forehead. Miska at age 84 (people (people age) produced Sarah. Here's where the story gets interesting. Sarah was a midget, beady eyes, resembled a weasel and carried the personality of a cockroach. There was nothing she wouldn't tackle, the only thing attractive about Sarah was the tuft of red at the base of her black tail. The kids loved her immediately. Well Sarah soon found a friend rummaging in our garbage and convinced him to stay. Now Captain Nega and Sarah became bosom buddies. They chase, cars trucks, buses, bicycles, people and anything that moves. They attack from behind bushes, dart out from around corners, frightened ' the neighbour's horse while he was exercising him along the track and killed my girlfriend's chickens. Any day I expect to see a carcass of what used to be our dog flung on the doorstep but the only thing to come of all this has been two logical complaints lodged at the police department much to the annoyance annoyance of the Big Boy himself who took the complaints. Since then I've tried to find the fascination of being a tire biter at the same time defending my dogs knowing full well they are in the wrong. It's not easy to admit that what the kids love so much is in reality two mutts that aren't worth a plug nickel, so we're trying the ffsychological approach. For everything there must be a rhyme or a reason. So if by chance you are motoring motoring along the baseline beat, fear not if two people dart out of the bushes and race beside your car. It's only the Big Boy and myself trying out ■* the thrill of being a tire biter and analyzing what makes a dog tick.
