Since many are admitting to their own pet mistakes and near misses I'll state mine. Years ago we had a small dog that loved to stick her head over the side of our bass boat into the wind. One day she was on the bow of the boat "playing masthead" as we rode up the Allegheny River. When I pulled back on the throttle, momentum caused her to fly over the front of the boat and into the water. The boat was still moving and we drove right over top of Molly. Luckly our boat has a jet drive instead of a propeller and the dog only got a Jacuzzi bath but I still got a severe tongue lashing and "I told you so's".
Incidently my screen name, that I also use on fishing forums, = Allegheny River + Jet Boat, shortened to Allegheny Jet

Black Night - a down market jug wine made of anti-freeze, MSG and glucose syrup. Nah.
Crumpet - yes thanks, alongside a good cup of Sumatran tomorrow morning
Woop yer git - not my saying, and I'd counsel you to audit your acquaintances. 'Orright? Not too bad' is as warm as it gets in my native quarters
Anyway, back with normal service

Thank you so much for the kind thoughts, but I'm not sure that what you wish is what I want..

I'm sorry, but since this thread had gone to the dogs long before I entered it, you all deserve this tale of the Dead Dog:
Dead Dog
Dead Dog
A lady awoke one morning and discovered her dog was not moving. She called her vet who asked her to bring the dog in. After a brief examination, the vet pronounced the dog dead.
"Are you sure?", the distraught woman asked. "He was a great family pet. Isn't there anything else you can do?"
The vet paused for a moment and said, "There is one more thing we can do." He left the room for a moment and came back carrying a large cage with a cat in it. The vet opened the cage door and the cat walked over to the dog. The cat sniffed the dog from head to toe and walked back to the cage.
"Well, that confirms it." the vet announced. "Your dog is dead."
Satisfied that the vet had done everything he possibly could, the woman sighed, "How much do I owe you?"
"That will be $330." the vet replied.
"I don't believe it!!!", screamed the woman. "What did you do that cost $330!?
"Well", the vet replied, "it's $30 for the office visit and $300 for the cat scan."

[QUOTE=wobblyoldgeezer;10635667]From the mirror hangs a boxer with his dependency displayed,
And he shows his rash decisions to every bike he passes by,
That ignore him 'til a kind one stops and intervenes, though I don't know his name,
"Ooch my back hurts, take your dog back"
But the back pain still remains
Not bad, but you might want to consider changing the second to the last line to read, "Ooch my back hurts, take your pooch back" so you'd have an internal rhyme. Happy Birthday, by the way.
