Our dog (as in the avatar) is a Jack Russell - Chihuahua cross. Hence the oversized ears and the undersized brain. However, all his farts are of gas mask proportions. He was 8 yesterday. Shame he has no idea.

Our family dog back home was always a Jack Russell - last one got diabetes, went blind and was forever chasing its tail under the dining room table. Paddy was its name - don't recall the quality of the farts.

Bernie take note: The mad dog was called Paddy.

Fruit bat...yes quite likely. His legs are too short, his head is too small and his ears are too big. BUT, somehow, he learned to be a real gent. He cost $20.00 and gives that much and more back every day!

If anything is comfortably numb, he is.

You should have put it in a circle and told it to piss in the corner. Wouldve been dead in minutes from brain strain. Couldve saved a hundred bucks.

It was me old man who had brain strain from the daily insulin injection trauma - he was delighted when I told mum I was just taking it for a walk...

Tank you very much, I confirmed to the boss I was off as of Friday and it still felt the right thing to do ... some people/environments don't work and the sooner this is identified the better ... next stop Cabbie

At least you'd be a cabbie that can speak English which is a rarity in Brisbane these days!
