Back a few years ago, a good friend of mine went to Ireland and came home with 6 jack russel terrors(oops terriers) and three Irish wolfhounds. She was setting up a breeding operation. The breeding venture was a great success! Her sister was working at a local petting zoo and brought lion cubs home to feed them over night. I had a good time feeding those big babies. Guess what dogs rulled the roost ...the terrors all 6 of them. It was cute watching 200 lb dog let a 10 lb dog eat his/her food. Even funnier watching the LION cubs let the dogs eat their meat ... My current K9 is a lab/huskey mix. She is sometimes ok around the ferrets, but I don't trust her since she "shook" Hershey once. Another friend of mine has a lab that cannot be trusted with anything smaller than he. That includes kids. The dog killed two cats and nearly killed a ferret. The dog has not been abused, was professionaly trained for obidence and came from a quality breeder. The dog is a field trial champion. there are exceptions to every rule (except the the rule that says "there is exceptions to every rule") Nan and SuperSnooper [Posted in FML issue 2408]
