They'd find it in my trunk, too. It's in many brands of fertilizer.

Say, Grumpy...

You don't happen to own a tractor do you?

TheBuddha ago

I do! I love my tractor.

TheBuddha ago

I'm not even kidding. I love my tractor, almost as much as I love my dog. I get more work out of the tractor, however,

So you are a modernist trying to compensate by owning a traditional pet?

I see.

TheBuddha ago

LOL He's a working dog. He points, retrieves, and can track so long as I keep his attention on it. He's a Golden Retriever, he sorta, theoretically, maybe earns his keep.

HotelCalifornia ago

Hehe. That's cool, what is your dog called?

TheBuddha ago

Sam but I call him Stupid. He's not smart, but lovable and well trained. He will train his replacement this coming spring.

Basically, this sums up why I call him stupid...

He will chase a ball until you're tired. He can fit two tennis balls in his mouth, but he can't fit three. So, when I'm done working on his retrieving, I'll throw three balls. He will then spend hours trying to figure out how to put all three in his mouth at the same time.

God bless him.

I have a friend (just one) and his family adopted a little dog on holiday and called him "wee stupidy". On some level it makes me feel guilty but on another, it amuses me.

TheBuddha ago

Stupid doesn't mind that I call him that. He responds to anything. He is not a bright dog, no.

HotelCalifornia ago

It's worth a shot right? With training season coming up.

TheBuddha ago

If I whistle, or say it in the right tone of voice, he will come when I call potato.

HotelCalifornia ago

Potato from which planet exactly? Would that be mars density or earth density?

TheBuddha ago

Maine density. Maine is actually potato country, once you get up into the flatlands after the mountains. The whole north of Maine is potato, tees, and furry woodland critters. There are a few people, but not many.

Oh I think my friend Patrick might disagree with you there Buddha.

To be sure, there is but one potato land I know of. The leprechauns aka agents of Satan will replace your crop of potatoes with moon rocks if you don't appease him in Autumn.

TheBuddha ago

LOL I think Maine produces more potatoes than the entirety of Ireland.
