Man's Best Friend

Ricky sits down and then so does McGillicuddy.  McGillicuddy is actually a big cuddly bear, who we also call "Tractor".  He walks around the yard with 30-40lb logs or pipes in his mouth.  He can get through many a man-made barrier, we know.  He has a fearce deep bark and has been party to running many a'varmint away from the place.  We've seen Marmaduke and McGillicuddy deal with vultures, hawks, skunks - stinky business,  and sometimes we never figure out what they're up to.  As a matter of fact they just had two vultures up a large dead oak tree a few minutes ago.  Second time this week.   They're very loyal and have become part of the family.  Funny how Ricky and I weren't so keen on dogs in the city.  Everything is a'changin'.   For the good.  If you see McGillicuddy running at you - hold on to something or best, get out of the way - he won't mean to hurt you, he's just a tank!*
