...mz ribit is the best fetcher I ever had. There was a poodle who would fetch a toy for me to throw, but the poodle was a lousy sammich maker. She (the poodle) would bring me an old moldy end piece of bread with some really limp lettuce in it. Dog had spam and cheese on her breath though. I had her fetch me a beer once and about 15 minutes later I found her laying in the kitchen floor with her tongue hanging out. Empty beer can on the floor beside her. Anyway, that's why I kept mz ribit.
...on the other hand the dog would climb up and sit in the middle of my back and protect me and simultaneously kee my back warm. Mz ribit would put her feet in the fridge til they reached near freezing and then come stick em in the middle of my back. So that is why I kept the dog.
