The camp that I bought hasn’t been used in over a year and I’ve had a lot of outside cleaning and work to do, going twice weekly.

For the past 4 visits I’ve had a young gator that’s about 3-4’ long come up and just follow me around while I’m working. He’s not a problem, he’s not aggressive, just seems curious and is almost like a dog following me around. It’s the same gator as he has a chunk missing off the top tip of his tail.

When I go under my cook shed and turn on the floor fan to sip a cool one and rest a bit he comes and lays about 2-3’ away from me and then follows when I get up and go back to work.

I know they’re curious but have never seen this type behavior before.

If he comes back Friday I’m gonna name him Gator McCluskey.



Dog?

Reminds me of an old joke.... Guy goes into this biker bar where the patrons love their pit bulls and rottweilers..... He has a short legged yellow dog on a leash and the bikers immediately start in on him and that "stupid yellow dog" of his....

Guy says wait a minute, "He's tough, bring out your best dog and $100 and we'll see......"

So the bikers bring out this big mean ole Rottie and say "sic'em"...... well, that little yellow dog gave the rottie one big bite and the fight was over..... the bikers are amazed.. they want a dog like that...."What kind is it?"

So the guy collects his $100 and says... "Well, before we cut his tail off and painted him yellow, he was an alligator!"




Good one.

Had a throw away we fed called Buster. He was almost like a 30 lb weiner dog but had a head like a pit but longer normal dog nose. 15 inches high and thick of head and body and he could climb a chain link fence in the blink of an eye.
Had to keep him in the house when my sweet young first pointer Suzie was in the pen in heat.

Big tough mean airedale from down the street kept trying to get to her. Once i, 5th grade, went out to run the bastard off and Buster got out too.

Well, i near died of fright as the fight was on and then over just as fast with Dale hauling ass in a cripple manner.
Didnt see Dale for a week and when i did he was limping around down the street with both front legs bandaged all the way up and over his shoulders.

Dale never came around our place again.

RIP, Buster.
