screaming and yelling thinking my dog was being torn apart

Yeah Raven it was really dark... couldn't see where the coyotes ran to, cause I just kept my eyes focused on my little white dog, he's only 22 lbs. they could have easily ran off with him. Glad that your dog put up a fight, mine thought they were there to play.

This is My Rifle

Mark Maysey

Back in 69, I didn't have a care
Before they called my number, I chopped of all my hair
Said goodbye to mamma, dad and uncle Dan
Boarded an airplane and headed off for Nam
He called us to attention as we stepped off the plane
Checked us off a list as he called out our names
Then he picked up his rifle and raised it in the air
Grabbed his crotch with his other hand as we all stood and stared
He said...

Chorus
This is my rifle
This is my gun
One is for killing
The others for fun
So until this war is over
Or until your time is done
This is your rifle and this one is your gun

Thirty years have passed since I stepped off that plane
The nightmares haven't ended and neither has the pain
I've drank my share of liquor and smoked my share of grass
But I can't unload the memories or these few words from my past

Repeat Chorus

Well, a dear friend of mine finally called it quits
They found him one cold morning laying in a ditch
A bullet through his brain, his rifle at his side
And one old rusted dog tag from 1969

When they turned his body over they found his written note
It wasn't but a few lines, but the last he ever wrote
And when they laid him in his grave on that cold December day
I took those words he'd written and I began to play

Repeat Chorus

Back in 69, I didn't have a care
Before they called my number, I chopped off all my

One on one, a big dog will tear a coyote apart. But it's often not one on one. One yote may try to bait a big dog back to the pack.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

my dog wasn't big.... only 60 lbs
but she was a Mountain Dingo (Australian cattle dog- black)
i got her @ 6 1/2 weeks old
@ that age they have stout little short legs
that stick straight out and down

Knowing she had to be tough as nails to survive the coyotes
i would hold her with one hand while watchin TV
and tap her four feet repeatedly on the floor
non stop.... to increase her tactile response

this daily routine toughened her up real solid
like she was made out of oak
she could spin like the turret on a tank
ready to Rumble.... real FAST

after that i taught her martial arts
and i would pull sneak attacks on her
bringing out her toughness so she was all about self defense
and not something to fool with as she was Very Adept.

i remember running her to the bathtub to wash off all the blood
i was covered in it and she was too
trying to discover her wounds to stop the bleeding
but never found even one cut...

she had kicked major ass and i was never so proud
