He's a GREAT dog, Al, but he's also a big pussy...
He's a "play" dog -- not an attack dog, not a hunting dog, not even much of a watch dog (he RARELY barks). But if you want to get your game on, Stash is a tireless advocate of fetch and tug.
Our friend Jeff's cabin (on his eighty acres of land backed up by the Shenandoah nat'l Park) is built on stilts, protecting it from bears. It's got this very cool wrap-around porch, about half of which is screened in -- fortunately, the half over-looking the waterfall.
Stash liked to hang outside of the screened in area, and was forever banging the door open and closed as the went back and forth (opening the screen door was the new trick he learned this time there).
Late Saturday night, he came flying into the cabin, tail between his legs and jumped up on the sofa between Eric and me, literally shaking like a leaf. He crunched himself down into the tiniest little ball and shivered while Eric soothed him.
Naturally, we all grabbed the flashlights and ran out to the porch, but didn't see anything.
It was probably a bear -- but I prefer to think it was Sasquatch.
