    A friend had a pile of 40 or 50 nine inch Ford rear ends he'd cut out while in the salvage business and told me to go pick out any I wanted because they were going to the scrap yard. We've used up most of the shallow (2.75-3.25) rears so I went to check what was there. He said there was a female German Shepard in the fenced in lot that would just bite the heck out of you but to not worry cause she has no teeth. It sure was edgy to offer ones leg for the first test gumming. Found if you left her get a good mouth full it's just pressure but if she gets just a fold of skin or so it still can make a dummy smart.

    Was it worth it? If you knew someone was walking by the area, you could really play that up. Scream out in pain and let the dog jerk you around a bit. Maybe even let it get you around the kneck just to see what the passer-by would do. ;^)

    Dogs

    I'm askeert of most of 'em :( .

    My son , when he bought his house , brought home a Pit Bull puppy with feet about the size of my hands :eek: I know enough about dogs to immediately stop and go make *VERY* good friends with it , now it loves me as much as it loves him because he knows a belly rub is coming whenever I show up...

    He's a sneaky cur tho' ~ he waits in the shadows 'round the corner of the house
    then come's a running full tilt boogie right as people are passing the gate .

    All the neighbors now walk into the street because he looks so scary .

    I do love dogs though , just not the mean ones .

    Wow, a dog who's bark really is worse than it's bite:rolleyes:

    Get to meet quite a few dogs visiting houses, one was a Chinese fighting breed, shar-pei, the owner showed me around and then as he was going to leave me get on with things I asked about the dog that had been shadowing us, he should be ok was the reply, no no no I said, should don't cut it with me, can you lock the damn thing up! Should, that's a word that builds confidence!! Another place has 3 ridge backs, in a pound with a 5ft fence, they don't act happy to see you when you drive on to his land, and I always work with one eye over my shoulder, you just know one day ones gonna leap over that fence an the other two would follow, funny but I work at a different pace at his house!

    Being on a dogs territory always makes me twitchy if they are loose.

    Wise Words !

    Indeed .

    I discovered (guess how ?) that little dogs , like my Chi-mutts , don't rip out big chunks of flesh , rather they bite a whole buncha times really fast so you're leaking all over the place......
