Growning up with a horse trainer for a father made certain we grew up with lots of animals around. One of the more memorable animals from our family was the first dog my family had - a little yipper dog named Jackson.
(This isn't Jackson... But he looked similar... Except if you ask my mom the real treat was smelling him. Yum!)
Jackson was the dog my dad had, and when my mom came into the picture, he was a little jealous. He got kicked out of the bed when Mom and Dad got married, but he wouldn't miss an opportunity to get back in. He was especially zealous when my mom was pregnant with me and had to go the bathroom. She would come back and Jackson had taken her place... Growling at her as she tried to regain her space.
Dad and Jackson had a special bond shared with my uncle, Dad's twin, Mike. One day my mom came home from work, and the boys (Dad and Mike) were so proud of the trick they taught Jackson. They taugh Jackson to hock a loogie on command. Yup - they would say, "Hock one, Jackson!" And he sure would! Here's a how to if you don't know how to do it yourself. It's up to you to figure out how to teach a dog to do it - those Bowers boys sure were talented trainers!
Now, it's my turn. Discousting, I know, but back to coughing I go. I just bough allergy medicine and some magical cough drops that should help. Wish me luck! And stay back - you never know where some of these things could land.
On a side note, this lady takes it to a whole new level! Wow! http://news.yahoo.com/video/oddnews-22772304/chicago-reporter-chris-derose-interrupted-by-spitting-woman-29192880.html#crsl=%252Fvideo%252Foddnews-22772304%252Fchicago-reporter-chris-derose-interrupted-by-spitting-woman-29192880.html
