[nagdu] dog uran getting the shoes

[Larry D. Keeler]

I don't blame Nicole for not wanting to be a fire hydrant!  I've heard of 
many marking stories!  One, the woman was getting her first dog and out on a 
run,, her leg was the target!  and, it was rather warm outside!  I've known 
many male dogs and have one now.  They are great but they can do that aim 
and shoot thing!
