    Walkin' the DOG

    So I walk the Ol' Girl down a side road along the creek with a few abandoned houses on it, no street lights and doesn't even get plowed when it snows. And I gotta tell ya; To the underage or the guy who can't drink at home, I appreciate all those 16 and 32oz cans you leave for me on the side of the road. It's a fresh batch every other day!

    I know how that is, it seems like each spring there are hundreds more on my gravel road which isn't traveled that much.

    New business plan. I am going to train labs to retrieve aluminum cans and sell the dogs on SMF. Retirement at it's finest. Scrap dogs for sale - scratch and sniff guarantee.

    Oddly enough, I do know a guy who did just that. He trained his dogs to pick up cans near his farm as he walked with them. Retired bachelor with time on his hands. Colorful feller !!

    Smart man. My son trained his lab to get him a beer from the fridge. The dog got so excited when he brought the beer, my son had to wait at least five minutes to open it. Shake, rattle, and roll.

    Wouldn't want to do this any more up here as the meth cookers throw their expired trash in the ditches

    There was somebody who would throw there Icehouse cans on the side of the road next to the woods. Every time i would walk the dogs, the cans were there. It stopped for awhile and then it was 16oz miller high life cans. That also stopped and now its shot size canadian club wiskey bottles.

    Canadian Club is great with sprite, just saying.

    An dude needs better taste in beer. Yeesh. Ice house, an High Life..now I won't lie, I've enjoyed both in the past, but glad I've upped my standards. lol.

    I need to train my dog to mix a drink..now that'd be a trick!
