Casey was half Jack and half traveling salesman.
A great companion, she was MY dog. She liked my wife, learned to
tolerate our kids.
Nothing came into our yard on her watch, nothing!
I can still see her running our neighbors Lab mix home.
Right on his ass, taking a bite of it every few feet. It's over 300 yards, she never
slowed down until they were in his yard, then she strutted home.
The bad.
She cost us hundreds of dollars in shoes and library books in the first few months.
Came home one day and my 45 Vacquero was on the floor by the bed post.
She had eaten the holster.
Got a crate and used that when we left her home alone, couple years age and
she was ok left alone.
She bit....rarely.
No nonsense, we watched her around kids. She would show her teeth multiple times
before she bit. But it wasn't a game, she was pissed and getting madder.
Never really drew blood, she pulled her punches.
My wife was the one who got it most, maybe 2 or 3 times over 13 years.
I'm not tolerant of that, and was close to taking her for a walk on a few occasions.
But I'm also a realist. If you are going to play with aggressive dogs, they are
going to show their bad behavior. Just like Beagles can't help following their nose.
She only ever bit one person bad...me.
A gash that revealed tendons in my hand.
By then she was old, deaf, going blind, and crotchety.
We put her down soon after.
