Neko is the first dog i ever had that didnt smell like a dog. He never stinks. He grooms himself like a cat throughout the day.

He loves the water, I walk him to the park and back every day (but not inside the park anymore because he is really aggressive) and the city open the fire hydrants in the streets for the kids to play in when its hot, and Neko loves that. Same with a hose, he just likes water all together... But even right now, he played in the fire hydrant earlier and spent a half hour laying in the rain a little bit ago and he still smells clean.

He has only ever had 2 baths since i have had him, 1 i did and another at a groomer. But sometimes his feet smell like fritos after a lot of playing outside LMAO so i wipe them down with those puppy baby wipes, but other than that he keeps himself looking and smelling clean.

He is really a perfect dog for us, the only flaw being his aggression to other animals... Dogs, cats, squirrels, mice, birds, rabbits.... ANYTHING, size doesnt matter he tries to attack it. But he does OK when slowly introduced, he will start to play nicely after a little while.... STILL, i wouldnt trust him alone with any other pet. Luckily we dont have any others right now :) He is great with our family, kids and all, but my youngest is 5.... I wouldnt trust Neko with a baby... Not even for a minute. But my 5 year old son is rough as hell, so they play great together and i STILL watch them just in case.

Honestly in a way his aggression to animals will be beneficial when we move. There is a lot of wildlife down there that eats up peoples gardens.... Neko will enjoy running them off.
 
I hear that man. As long as the aggression stays with other animals that is not a problem. Having a protector is good :)

We had a dog, a shelty. It was great until my son was born. He was a really early mover, as soon as he stared crawling she snapped at him and I smacked her pretty good. It didn't stop and she turned into a bigger bitch and ended up staring down the barrel of my shotgun with my wife pleading for me to not shoot it. I told her it needed to be gone before I woke up and it was :) everybody happy and alive.
 
So, just had a interesting evening. Got to tell you about it. Sitting here at 9:30 on a week night. Im laying in the middle of our living room painting my wifes toenails. (Go ahead and make fun guys, I dont care, do it all the time) Anyway, the doorbell rings, I figure its my old buddy Ralph. So I yell, "come in!" Who walks in you ask? The local mortician. Now, granted, let it be known I live on a small lake, my house is one of the smallest on it, and he lives across from me in a very nice place. "Very if you know what I mean" Anyway. Somebody at a recent funeral told him what I do in my shop that he can see from his house, apparently, he has a young son that just finished some survival challenge and he wanted to reward him with a handmade knife. He asked me what I had for sale right now, tonight. Here's how the conversation went.

Him, I so proud of my son, I want to reward him, he loves knives. What do you have?

Me, everything I have here is sold but these 2 M18s and this Brass Back.

(He picks up the Brass back)............... this is amazing, how much?

Me, that goes for around $2500. bucks,

Him, "I'll take it!"

Let it be known, ive never sold a knife for that kind of money that easily. Frankly, I couldnt do it. As much as I could use the money I told him I didnt think that was the best purchase for him and gave him my reasons. Afterwards, he agreed and he placed a order for a more elaborate Tradewater with a firesteel in the sheath.
Cant believe I just talked a willing guy out of paying me well over a month and a halves worth of income, but just couldnt of done it and felt right about it. His boy is only 15.

Call me crazy!

It's not crazy at all man. You did the right thing. No way a 15 year old needs a knife like that.

We use to have a sheltie when i was a kid. That dog was smart as hell but always barked and needed constant grooming or he just looked ROUGH.

Neko only barks for a reason. Either at other animals or someone coming up to the door are about the only times he will bark... He does need to be brushed a couple times a week when he starts to shed his winter coat though, and there is quite a bit of hair... But not like a sheltie. Which needed to be brushed almost everyday, took forever to brush, and still left hair every where.

The sheltie was definitely easier to train though LOL

That's what I thought, and I think that's why I talked him out of it. Just figuring I'm going to make a shitty business man turning down money like that. Cash don't grow on trees around here. It just didn't feel like the right thing to do.

Lol, hope I dont starve next month. Cant eat the brass back. :rolleyes:

oooh, nice move.
I totally respect that.
besides, who doesn't need a Yumama anyway? ;-)
 
I think you would be crazy if you did sell it to him. Especially knowing it is going to a be given to a kid who is not likely to appreciate it.

Exactly, I'm 16 and can't even begain to imagine having anything even remotely as nice as that brass back, I'm even almost afraid to buy 200 dollar knife for fear of something happening, and the fact that if I want a new price of gear I have to come up with the money myself, there's nothing that a teenager would do that would EVER require a knife like that

Knocked off a 10k run at lunch. Doing another 5k with Christine when she gets home. Heat and humidity have finally subsided. Nice to be training again.

See, I've just always called it "exercise".....recently I was asked if I "trained with tubulars" and I said "no, I only rideOo on them." I haven't "trained" in, like, a decade.

soOo,,,,what're you training for?

Real sorry to hear that, sir. I hope things turn in your favor soon. Dirt time should be a priority (if only I practiced what I preach...) because you need to stay healthy, too, in order to be there for the rest of the tribe.

I am enjoying the 11 you sent me; it's interesting to go back and forth between that and my modded 11 and see which one I use more for certain tasks....

But with a knife like that you could take the head cheerleader in your school to prom, become the quarterback, get a scholarship to any school you want, and graduate top of your class..... all while kicking ass and taking names :D

There are 2 ways to live.... One is boring... the other, not so much :D

That was the plan anyway, and nobody told me I needed a Brass Back. :( Maybe the Yuma will work. Hummmm.
