Re: [Amc-list] The dog ate my

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My Airedale Pup ate the box fullof rubber parts and plastic clutch bushings back around 1990.

He learned to duck and run when I yelled certain words...

I managed to salvage enough pieces to put the clutch together!

When I finished the porch railing I placed the front door outside the dogs domain so that this would not reoccur and it has not!

The dog is 10 1/2 now and getting old and creaky, I get misty eyed when I watch him hobble around in the cold. I know we don't have a lot of time left. I'd gladly feed him clutch parts for days on end if it would make him young again!
