So DW and I are thinking along these lines for a tire cover that we really do not need for the Jeep. It is not accurate as to how to shift our gears in the least but sends a message. We also have that EVTS stuff but I doubt many folks in the US can still drive a stick.

My brother-in-law had a aTm tire cover on his spare o. His hummer (hated the hummer) and 1st time they went shopping (in Burleson) someone stole it. He was mad!a

Maybe, will have to look into it. We also go out to San Antonio once in awhile for work. Could probably figure something out. Will respond to you with pix of the interesting upcoming bird parents soon so you can see if they could work for ya. Right now I have one leghorn hen young adult who lays daily and 5 babies at least 2 are roosters at this point if you’re interested in them.

No it was a personal pet from a single individual(dachshund). Not an Army trained animal. I can just tell you it was horrid meeting a bird or rabbit freakishly so. That pup could kill stuff in under 1 second.

Our Mallinios is a freaky scary thing as well. Destroys about 1 Frisbee per week and can for sure fit my appendages into its mouth. I upset him last week by winning the tug toy and got remeasured for bite size. Luckily we will never be on the wrong side of that bite, but for sure I do recommend a German Shepherd over them for ease of training. They are lighter(70-75#) than my last 90 pound GSD, but explosive accelerational power makes for a slight difference. That is why frisbee is the only game worth playing to the dog. Ours can't be bothered with any Kong products like balls and whatnot it has to be frisbee. We never throw frisbees to him he runs them down. The mental calculations that go on in that dogs head are pretty impressive chasing a frisbee if it is going to hit a tree branch he is doing the mental math on it. DW just bought a new frisbee today at Wallyworld. Certainly I see why the Mallinois are favored by the military as they can pretty much hit any moving target, but they take so much work to train and run. Currently we run him 8 or so times daily in 10 to 15 minute sessions. He for sure is not an easy dog to keep.

Not denigrating GSD I would much rather have one, but I am stuck with this guy for the next 10 years.

To finish this out we just wanted him off the neighbors chain out setups. That is why he is ours now. That and barking 24x7. We never wanted a Mallinois but our neighbors were not capable of keeping one. Also down here $100 buys you a lot it got me a dog and a happy wife:celebrateSure it was an additional 300 in vet fees but that is any dog.

Oh man I hear you completely. This dog is a force of nature and also the middle ground between my wanting another mini dachshund to replace the two I lost to cancer and my man wanting a Malinois to replace the blonde GSD he lost to a mountain lion back in central CA. She was and remains a very pricey gal. Between her constant needs and everything she’s destroyed, idk how we’ve managed especially this very challenging year. Absolutely gorgeous but she’s a major reason why lots of things have had to take a back seat. Also why we’ve had to get dog bite insurance despite being mostly deep in the woods.

I gotta say the tire biter toy with the gsd on the tag they have at TSC and Walmart seems to hold up and keep her occupied. She isn’t interested in kong anything and destroys even ‘big dog friendly’ tennis balls and bully’s in seconds. We got those rescue kittens and she’s pretty much besotted with them when she isn’t outside stalking the chicken coop trying to herd the birds to nowhere. Don’t know how the little cats manage being 1/8th her size and having zero chance against her insane brute force but they come out fairly unscathed and everyone still cuddles and grooms one another on the bed with us every night so can’t be too bad.

We really have to get her another dog. Poor things. Tons of gsd at the pounds around but we are torn about the idea that they could be traumatized and snap on our little pack. Either way I’m pushing for a new dog. I feel that having another dog about her size should help her exercise some of her incredible energy and also hopefully socialize her since this year has made doing normal social things with her as a pup like seeing different people very often and being out and about, uncommon. Everyone including my in laws keep bringing up getting goats, sheep or pigs for her to Shepard instead of another big dog but I don’t want any of those! So much more work and I’m honestly just not a fan. We have really vicious wild pigs everywhere here and it’s put me off even cute domestic ones for now. I’d rather just get a dairy cow who will likely maim the dog for trying to mess with her. Compromises will have to be made either way.

That’s great that you rescued your pup! I would never say anything but our neighbors confine their animals in spaces I feel are too small. Its not really my business and they do take care of them but I do wish they’d give them all a better set up. Not like they are lacking space either... I’m no expert but I wouldn’t like those spaces if I was any of those creatures.

Jealous! We only have teenie ones. The best ones ive had were in Dimona, Israel by the Dead Sea. All different color skins/fruits too. I wonder if the gift shop at Joshua Tree National Park has some of their recipes online. They made dozens of different things (mostly confections) out of em.
