This Is
MY DOG REX
He Knows Many Tricks.
He Can:
1) Fetch... (The Children)
2) Roll Over... (The Car)
3) Play Dead...
(Poor Mr. Jones From Next Door. Wrong Place, Wrong Time).
and
4) Beg... (For Mercy Everyone).
Isn't he cute? We got him from the Inhumane Society.

He is eating me out of house and home. Oh wait. Right. He ate the house, too! But I do have a nice tent I live in now and REX hates the smell of mosquito repellent so I just keep spraying it all over the tent and my sleeping bag. (And me). SO FAR SO GOOD.
I'm sure things will calm down soon and all will be fine.
HEY! What was that blood curdling scream??? REX! NO! STOP! (That silly dog just loves chasing the postman. Glad it's a young fellow. Good runner that one!)
Now, to order more trees for the yard. Let me see.......

Pommy, you need to hire the Dog Whisperer to bring Rex's roar down to a manageable level. However, that won't keep the mailman, et. al., from screeching their lungs out as they set a new record for running a mile...

I don't mean that I slept well, I mean that I had to pretend I was a log so Rex wouldn't see me. He seems to be turning on me a tiny bit. Thank goodness for brown clothing and woodsy perfumes. (And that insect repellant!)
I am so happy for your notes of advice here and I am going to rent a 63 foot long flat bed truck today and this puppy is going to obedience school. No more of this bad attitude nonsense. Not with any dog of mine!!! No bones about it except that big bone Rey was talking about. We live in Alberta. An area with one of the largest dinosaur finds in the world and I had a few bones excavated yesterday.
Yippeeeeeeee! We are making headway.
Rex seems happy this morning. I cant even hear him.
Uh oh. Wait. He's gone. I better call the fire department again. Little Rex doesn't mean to but he takes down electrical wires when he leaves the yard and it gets tricky with the neighbors when the wires dangle in their yards.
I will keep the generator going so I can keep reading your handy notes.
Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great day!!! Ha!

Can we borrow him for the Rex Parade next Mardi Gras down in N'Awlins?? As you must realize, it is the most respected and prestigious parades in New Orleans society! Don't respect this Rex, and it's the LAST thing you do! #10449122Mary K. Robison December 04, 2012
It's 7 AM, Doozie-Pom, so I won't be spilling any bons mots this morning...Just a reminder to wear rubber-soled boots when Rex is out amusing himself by trashing the electrical wires. Rain is NOT your friend at that time!Kirsten Kiki Kjaer December 04, 2012
Oh, Sister. Giggle Giggle Laughing of loud!! You are so funny.Now I'm looking into the future. Let me see... yes - I see GOLD!!! #10450494

Rex is missing. His tracks were easy to see until he left the grassy areas and hit the highway heading east towards The Drumheller Badlands.
I hired 200 people yesterday to look for him out there in the badlands. It's nothing like the Canadian Rockies that are plush and green. Why in the WORLD would REX want to go there???
Here is the footage. At the end of this tape that one of the 200 people took, to my shock, see something very very odd. Does REX know something we don't know???

It's good for us to ham it up. Life can be just so serious otherwise. :)
You come on back any time you need a good laugh. Many of my thread are hilarious and it's the BPers who get crazy at times. Ahahahahahaha! :))))))
Come on back to Canada. I'd sure love to meet you.

You know, REX was pretty nice to the trees. It was the house he demolished. Darn it all anyway...
HOWEVER he chewed off all of the tree-tops. Don't get near him or you might be in the market for a tree toupee. (So they even make them?) hmmmmm......
Oh wait..."Top a tree and watch it fill out at the bottom". You'd be looking at weight gain. Ha!

Irene - He's great at shoveling snow..or was that digging ditches?? I will send him your way if I ever see him again okay?? I know you need a hand down there.

Jill be sure your hubby see's this one. (But be sure he doesn't head to the pet store afterwards....as there was only ONE T-Rex dog. I suspect the T-stood for thunder. Read this thread for the rest of the story! Lol!)

I was so thrilled that Rexy got a FINALIST. It does show that the judges have a sense of humor. Either that or they really thought we have dinosaurs here in Canada, (for pets!)
We DO have dinosaurs here and I live in an Igloo, so don't get that wrong!
Okay see you great folks later. My dog sled needs oiling! I only need one dog. Guess who?
:D
Great fun and Thank You Again!
