Well this story is about my Ace. It was his first Christmas and he was about 10 mos old. While decorating the tree and house I had put the dogs outside to play. You know how the house looks while decorating? Boxes, bins STUFF everywhere! So we're done, a little cleaned up. I leave the dogs back in...... The other 3 adults, who have seen a Christmas tree before glanced and passed. Ace, stopped dead, looked up in awe, starring at the star at the top and s-l-o-w-l-y down the tree, almost checking out each ornament. He then took notice to the couple of wrapped gifts under the tree. Looking the tree over one more time, he then went over to his toy basket..............then proceeded to take a toy from the basket and put it under the tree. And I mean UNDER, he wanted it tucked just right! As if that weren't enough, he then emptied his toy basket (which is huge) toy by toy and put each one under the tree!!! When he was finished, he looked at it like "NOW it is complete!" Then romped off real happy with him self. My husband even said If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would have never believed it. Just gotta know my Ace though, he is SUCH a character! Such a personality to him, he constantly makes us laugh! Ut ohh that's not a promotion is it? ;0) LOL BTW- 'Ace' is Jolin's Ace of Von Hornberger TC Linda DeLarso Narvon, Pa.

Sheryl Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx wrote: Recounting the story of the bad lab puppy gave me an idea for a new thread: most destructive puppy tales . The most destructive puppy I ever heard of was a GSD puppy that belonged to my attorney, which BTW, I helped her find, so "this" is all my fault : Sampson was a baby and was at home in his crate while all were at work. Sandy and her husband had bought and were in the process of refinishing an old farm house in a rather upscale area. The workmen had just refinished the first floor hardwood floors (polyurethane I guess) and left for the day. The stuff on the floors was still tacky when Sampson got out, ran THROUGH the house over the sticky floors and went upstairs and tore around on the (real) Oriental carpets. Floors and carpets ruined, although the floors COULD be refinished. Sampson wasn't finished; he then proceeded to chew the knobs off an antique wine cabinet and chewed one each (!!!) of the pairs of (expensive!) boots/shoes in Sandy's closet that he was able to reach. Their township had a limit on the height of fences. In later years, Sampson would jump over the four foot fence and go and bother the neighbor's sheep. Now, these weren't normal, run of the mill sheep. These were rare, tiny, "cutsie" sheep the guy bought so that they could graze in the pastoral setting of his rather hoity-toity gentleman's farm and he could enjoy looking at them. Sampson would gleefully make them run and run and some would eventually drop over dead before Sampson ran out of steam. Sandy would go and get her dog, but never without her checkbook to pay for the dead (expensive!) sheep. Boy, do they love that dog. He's older now and not doing so well and I know she'd give anything, even pay for a bunch of dead sheep to have another year:( Kathy visit _Pine Hill German Shepherd Dogs_ (http://www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds/) ======================================================================== ==== POST is Copyrighted 2004.
