ROTFL! I have an almost 10 year old Jim x Becky son, BIG dog, outstanding temperament, does the school trips etc. BUT...put this dog in a crate, in a run or behind a fence and he turns into Cujo. It's interesting to say the least when the exterminator etc. comes. I'm on my 3rd exterminator w/ the same company and I think Justin has something to do with it <G>. Truthfully, I could just open the door and he'd be fine, but you'd never think that from the show he puts on, and if you holler it only gets worse <G>. Well years ago, I called him a horse's a** after he terrified the HVAC people, and you'd have thought it was high praise. Now, as a joke, we'll tell him he's been a horse's *** and he'll smile, spin around, wag his tail, ears flat back, the picture of doggie joy.

Pretty soon you can leave out the "Trudy" and "Truman" part.
