I posted to this thread on 1/20/09 and sent a check for $50.00 TO MAX AND THE ONLY THING I;M GOING TO SAY NOW IS EITHER MAKE A DONATION OR SHUT UP AND QUIT RUNNING MAX DOWN OR HE IS FINALLY GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT AND TELL US TO BLOW IT OUT OUR ASS AND SHUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WAS GIVING THE PEOPLE WHO USE THIS SITE FREE ACCESS TO A GREAT PROGRAM AND I DON'T MIND SIGNING MY NAME LOUIE ROY

OK, so if Max (who knows we love him) gets his dog a license and names him after a well-known novelist and screenwriter, what do you have?

My dog is legal, but I named him after the greatest guitar player to have ever been killed in a tractor accident.

My Merlee, who gets called "Merle" is on the cutting edge of the Canine Layabouts At Large Brigade, an adjunct to the famous Fielding, Patterson, Lane & Swan Layabouts for Hire(not sure i got that in right order:-) He can't compete with the cats, though; they are the Originals from whom, I'll bet, all those Layabouts learned their craft!

Okay, I think the whole hoo-ha was a con job from beginning to end.

Max PM'd Sorcha, and mentioned that he was gonna ask for some money;

Sorcha PM'd him back and said that she'd help by starting a controversy where everybody would immediately leap to defend Max's honor (something he'd never think of doing, to quote Groucho) and send in money just to prove her wrong.

Then everybody jumps in and assails Sorcha for her post, all the while making donations to Max.

Then when Max notices Sorcha taking a bit more flak than she bargains for, he jumps in to defend her and end the turmoil.

Well, by golly, it worked like a charm. My cheque's on the way.

Good one, guys!

My candidate for Canine Layabout resides in Corvallis, Oregon, where I used to visit my mother. In a local shoe shop, the owners had a photo of their dog, another beagle, taped onto the cash register. He was lying on his cushion, fat and contented, curled up like a giant doughnut. And underneath him they'd written the caption: The Round Mound of Hound.

My bro was stationed in Germany with the RCAF... before my beagle was born. He came home for a visit and arrived while we were out. Walked in the house and Duke, near the heat register under the kitchen table, opened one eye and then went back to sleep.

Great watchdog, Gnu! If a thief comes into the house, Duke will sit there and watch him.

A friend of mine had a beagle that once lay down & went to sleep on the yellow line of a 4-lane street. Neighbors saw him and told the guy so he could rescue the dog.. (It was named Pantagruel)

He used to sit with dry dog food & dip each piece in water to JUST the right degree of softness & hand feed the dog as it lay half awake on the porch.

Leave it to a cat to get it wrong about a dog, or about layabouts. First off, you know it is LFPS. Second, no one checked with us, and you are ordered to cease and desist in this lame attempt to profit from an association with our firm (well, .... flabby firm)name. Dogs cannot be layabouts. Not possible. ..... They chase cats, they chase their tails, and they run to food dishes. Most importantly .... and this is the ultimate disqualifier ..... they lick their "stuff". Spaw, Swanno, and I all tried this one. The amount of exertion required would absolutely disqualify any applicant. Swanno, that limber wee man, got close, but his moustache got beyond the point of equilibrium and swung him too far. He ended up lickin' his own behind, barfed, and was in bed for a week.

So, no canine version. Any further incursions will result in a visit from my favorite gorilla.

My two pooches are tucked into their hay-filled dog houses in their stall in the garage next to the oil radiator heater as this ice storm moves over the top of us. I'm lucky they'll do as much as wag their tails at me when they want to stay in to stay warm. But the rest of the time, they're flying around the yard like bats out of hell. Their behavior today is deceiving. No layabouts there!

Now the cats, that's where you get into supreme languor. Torpid. Stupor. Catatonic. There are some great words to describe that kind of sleep.

Hmph...*mutter, mutter*....malign a brilliant McNab's intelligence AND insult his pet cat? I'll have you know he chases nothing, not even cats nor his tail. Only daft, dumber dogs do such things and while he is not averse to a full food dish, he prefers to layabout and watch what transpires when his da is in the kitchen than to be so gauche as to run to a dish. In fact, Sir, I would venture to guess that LFPS/LFSP (research will show it both ways!) most likely are copycats of his superior techniques for which you may expect notice from his legal representatives. As to his nether regions, well, he is too polite to discuss such things publicly; far be it for him to bring up LFPS's failings.

I AM talking about the beagle. A dog that will roll in fresh cowshit and chase rabbits and deer until it dies of exhaustion. Call that dedication if you want. My old man called it DUKE YOU DUMBASS &*#&%*&!!

Sorry guys. My Freddie is the ultimate layabout. He has been known to scratch my face in the middle of the night and when I jump up in a panic he rolls into the warm spot.

Max, not complaining and maybe it has already been noted, but the advanced search is not working. Here's what I get:
