If dogs could talk to each other, you have to wonder how the story would be told by the dominant pit bull to his dog buddies later that day …

Now I know why the end of an ASP is shaped the way it is.

I give this thread a big "Thumbs up". And kudos to you sir. I don't think I would have done that unless it was a human being attacked.
Amen! I do not see how this issue could have been resolved without someone getting seriously hurt without Big Cholla stepping in. Those two owners definitely had some luck with someone right there with his thumb on things.Talk about taking one for the team

I guess this thread deserves a thumbs up.
That'll cure anyone from sucking their thumb...I guess!!!

Outstanding -- there will not be a finer pun on this forum today or anytime soon.
Way to keep cool under, ahem, pressure. (I'd wink but you may stick a thumb in it.)

Learned Something New
Thanks Salty: I had no idea what you were referring to until I Googled "finger cots". Never heard of them before this. ..... My wife after hearing this story told me to start carrying a Dr's. exam glove. I suggested that the time factor would probably negate the chance of ever getting it out and on the hand. ..... Back to the 'finger cots'. When I lived and hunted in cold and snowy Alaska, Washington and Colorado I would take a standard condom to place over the muzzle of my rifle to prevent getting an inadvertent plug of snow in the rifle barrel. Of course the condom had to be taped on to make it stay in place. It looks to me like these 'finger cots' would be ideal for that purpose. I love standard production items that have cross usage.
I think it's time you buy some finger cots.

Penny ballons
Long ago I used a penny balloon for barrel protector on my muzzle loader. Tight fit.

If this was your entry for the most unusual post of the year, Lee would give you the trophy, declare you the winner of the century, and retire your jersey number.
If we ever meet, please forgive me if I don't turn my back to you.

I had an arm lengthed glove I wore oncet upon a timer. My friends dad was trying to teach us how to check a cow to see if it was pregnant. Arm went in all the way to the pit, displaced processed food in the process. I did that once--once, learned my lesson. Don't know if I could do the thumb thing on a vicious dog though. You sir, are brave.
BTW after checking that cow, I had to go home and take a shower and get fresh clothes. One lesson I was taught, was to never go over to Shane's house on an early Saturday morning when his dad was home.

My G'Pa told me of the times the circus came to Baltimore (downtown)..He and some other kids would get paid to put on a long rubber glove, climb up on a stool (no pun intended) and reach up the elephants butt and remove any manner of digested hay, so the elephants wouldn't drop it on the street during the parade, or in the ring in the tent.. My G'pa wouldn't tell a tale tale?? would he..??

Of course it wasn't a tall tale - he needed a stool ...

Common Vet Procedure
Ringo: Back when I was raising Morgan Horses, I was taught by my Vet how to do that procedure on my bred mares to check for signs of being pregnant (in foal). I got good at it and kept a supply of those long latex gloves used in doing the job. I got so good at it my neighbors would ask me to check their mares too. It is not difficult and is not messy if one uses a little caution. I was never kicked or even stepped on. ....
