Getting Thai

Tales from the Backyard…Every year our oil company sends out a calendar with pictures of puppies on it.  On that particular years cover there were 5 little puppies, all brown and silver, with their little feet over a log and just their heads and noses sticking out.  My wife said, “How Cute, I could have one of those”, wrong thing to say.  I went on line and found that these particular pups were St. Usuge Spaniels and one of the rarest hunting breeds in the world.  I happened to find a breeder in East St. Louis and he would only sell to a hunter, Dah.   We hit it off and when I went to pick up the pup in early April he only charged me $200, rather than the $1,200 he was charging.  (I did this on the sly, my wife not knowing a thing).  I continued west to see my brother and his wife in New Mexico and I remember the first night after picking Thai up, after I had stopped and got the camper all set up, I started to feed the dogs.  Since Thai was only 12 weeks old, I had special food for him and set it down right in front of him, first.  Wrong thing to do, I should have known better, Chip just walked over and grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him about 15 feet.  I thought whoops.
