Geno, regarding your pack displaying interest in Sir Stubbs? See pic #3 in the 1st post of this thread My girls LOVE it when I pull out one of the many scatterguns around here. More often than not it means one thing: Daddy's taking us to play wif' birdies!
Two out of the three here get concerned with the spring piston air rifle when I am trying to snipe a starling.
Probably turn inside out if I lit off the gauge near them.
Wife told me they didn't look too pleased when I shot the fox in the Gulag with my .380 one night.
Now, they get downright excited when we go for walks at the refuge and a peasant comes out of the bushes and crosses the path. Problem would be, they don't hold them until one walks up on them. They want to hunt birds at 25mph.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
