Yeah, I don't believe either you OR Ed would set foot in a Motel 6.Originally Posted by charlestudor2005
{Answering for Becky} Edward had set up an in-call there. It was short notice and he needed to get a room quickly. It was one of his regulars that he arranges long term engagements, so that's why he went with more modest accommodations.I knew I would get teased for staying at a Motel 6, but whenever I have attempted to stay at nicer places with Ed we have ended up getting hassled. The last place we stayed at that was a non 6 called me up two hours after checking in , and suggested that I put a muzzle on Ed because he was scaring the other guests.

* A pure-bred Collie...of all things...bit the bejeezus out me when I was a kid. That's right, boyz & girls, Lassie damn near tore my arm off!Originally Posted by Sisyphus

Even as a child I could simply tell him something and he would do it, " go to the other side of the house and wait," for instance his response was immediate and he would wait until I told him it was ok to move.

The personality is an extra bonus.

I think that after something like that most people would have sent Lassies evil twin off to that great dog beach in the sky.I would like to think that I would have done something similar to you, but the only dog to ever attack me was a Jack Russel.

Once upon a time...before my time...my family owned one that bit my much older-brother. So the story goes...he had it coming. While the dog was asleep...my brother used to get down on the floor & put his face about an inch away from the dog's face & then make a loud noise. He though that was the funniest thing EVER until...the day the dog woke up & bit the crap out of him!
LOL, oh no your brother should have known that you never tease a JR.They can, and will get even. My JR attack happened because I was not giving the dog treats out fast enough. He flipped out,jumped straight up in the air , and locked down on my thigh ( why couldn't he be an ankle biter like all his relatives?) it took his parents a few seconds to get him to unlock his jaw (the little shit.

In the legend of the re-telling...the dog then calmly put his head back down & went back to sleep... Originally Posted by Sisyphus
