Ah, yes, who can forget the Reign of Terrible??

 

Frisky the Terrible, the intelligent untrainable dog, whom Ma tried to let out and who came scratching like mad at the door only to lift his leg and show her who's boss? Certainly, not her!

That was the year shag carpeting was the rage and Ma had it in thelivingroom, tv room and up the stairs. I can even remember it in the bathroom...(come on now! that was extreme) ...remember the colors, 70's vintage harvest gold!! I know because I had to vaccuum it...I used a rake it was easier!!  It was his house and no way, no how was he going to LOWER HIMSELF  to go outside to do his business.

And you know what? he didn't..... 

One day, Ma opened the gate and just kept reading the paper and when Daddy ask where is the dog...she replied in her sweet way, "I have no clue..." wink wink...

It didn't take long for fate to step in and a screech of tires and
Voila!!..No more Frisky...

Ma did a skip for joy ...Daddy cried like a baby for days and sure enough on Sunday took another drive to the kennel and guess what he got??

You guessed it...another Frisky!!

Ma could have clobbered him!!!

The reign of Frisky the terrible lives on until Daddy brings home a German Shepard named Ben. We do have a Frisky then also...the last Frisky....

 I have to divide the Kennel Ration between Frisky and Ben.

I put the bowl on different sides of the kitchen but Ben gets greedy and one day got sick of Frisky trying to steal his food every day. Ben got pissed off when and growled at frisky and they had a fight...Ben had frisky's head in his mouth and frisky was so scared he (you know what) on the floor...ever since then Frisky leaves Ben's food alone!!

Ben and Frisky never did get along but one day Ma open the gate again and frisky got out of the yard and got hit by a car...wink wink...and Ben leaped over the fence and circles around Frisky three times and lets out a mournful moan that I can still remember. I don't think that i have heard such a sound before or since...that Ben was crying!!!! I didn't know he loved Frisky!!

Daddy cried for days!!! but there were no more frisky's after that and Ben lived to age 17...then there were no more dogs!!!

The reign of Frisky the Terrible was over....

The untrainable dog who bit me when I tried to get him out from under the bed to get a bath...ouch!!

Don't try this at home kids!!!
