Liam!!!

[lars]

walked into my tying room this morning to see a pile of feathers on the floor. our dog, liam, who has never touched any of
my materials decided to strip two nice necks. there were a pile of materials out, he chose the nicest necks. i salvaged what i could....

ironic that it was his 10 year anniversary of his adoption.

I think the word you're looking for is , "Thank you". 🐕

 

[nfrechet]

dont blame the dog

 

[lars]

funny, kind of, i was in a fly shop yesterday bragging on what a great dog he's been. never runs off, doesn't bite, get's along with other dogs, doesn't chew anything up. ten years he never touched a thing. oh well, he's still a great dog.

 

[tomgamber]

Hey, he's been watching you pick those darn things off that chicken one by one for 10 years! He was just trying to help. Saving you some time.

 

[Bamboozle]

Did you buy him an anniversary present or do the necks suffice...?

If not, the decade-long anniversary gift is traditionally tin or aluminum so you could always get him a packet of some high end, fancy dog food packaged in foil... 😉

That reminds me of a post a guy made a few years back on another fly fishing forum that I’m a member of. When he got from work he found that his young daughter had scratched this into the side of his new pickup truck.

It said “I love you” 🥰

He went inside a told his daughter “I love you too.”

You know, there’s a lot worse things that could have happened, and I bet you still love Liam too.

Dear Lars,

Not long after I got my lab Sidney my parents were watching her. Not used to having a dog around my mom set 2 pounds of butter to soften on the microwave table in preparation for baking Christmas cookies.

Mom moved on to other chores and came back a while later scratching her head and wondering what she did with the butter. Sidney might have gotten away scot-free, but she unfortunately suffered a "reversal of fortune" like they say on the competitive eating circuit.

When the Land of Lakes boxes and wrappers magically reappeared, the jig was up. 😉

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂

That's much more endearing than when my son scratched his full name into the passenger door of our Outback.

Many, many, many years ago, my dad set out the fan and wings of a turkey on the closed-in back porch to dry. A few days after my mom banished our new dog to the porch, we observed crosshatch constipation. I would say "poor dog", but that mutt was horrible - and I love dogs.

so around 3:00 AM this morning a good portion of feathers were returned. not quite usable.

A variation of the Cow Dung fly may be a possibility...

Lost 2 silver Whitings the same way last year. I was pissed until somebody pointed out I left 2 dead bird wings sitting out on the table. What did i honestly expect a dog to do.

Salvaged most of the feathers and now I’m a lot less careful about only using them on nice flies.

What I love most about dogs is that you can sit with them and talk for hours it seems and they'll act like they're listening until they fall asleep.

I talk to my dog a lot and he very clearly lets me know when he understands what I am saying by raising his ears and tilting his head.

Of course he only understands eat, bone, walk and pee.

He understands a lot more than that. He's just playing dumb so that you won't get high expectations on discipline.
