Many of you older folk may remember our Paddington Bear- he was a senior guy that was a house fluff and not much of a watch dog- well Frank was at home down stairs on the computer one night when Paddington started non-stop barking-Frank was annoyed - after five or ten minutes that Frank decided that Paddington had gone senile but finally went to check on him to shut him up-when Frank got upstairs he found out why Paddington had gone berserk- Frank had started a fire in a pit we used for that purpose- the winds had blown a spark and the hill below our house and the neighbors house was on fire headed towards the two houses- I don't know if Paddington could see or smelled the fire-they are truly smart-Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: <ELG440@xxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 10:40 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] memorable K-9 stories > > > In a message dated 12/17/2004 5:25:13 P.M.
