My favorite pet - your story
#72
When Bear and I lived in Atlanta, we had a Briard (large semi-shaggy French herding dog) named Rocky. Rocky had the run of the house and was a great companion. I was in the habit at that time of stuffing single dollar bills given to me in change into my front pants pockets. At the end of the day, I would toss that day's dollars on top of my oversized nightstand. When enough dollars had accumulated, I would use them to buy pizza or some other treat.

At some point I noticed that there weren't nearly as many dollars in the night stand bank as there should be. I asked the Bear if he had used some of them for something, and he hadn't. I couldn't figure it out until a week later when I saw Rocky coming out of his hidey hole in the forsythia bushes. He had this place hollowed out in there where he kept his toys and a couple of bones. I crawled in there and found my money. Rocky had his own bank.

Well, I quit putting my pocket dollars where Rocky could get to them, but that wasn't the end of the story. That winter, when the screen door wasn't accessible for Rocky to exit the house on his own, we had a houseguest. One morning Rocky was scratching at the back door to get out. I was about to open the door when I noticed something in Rocky's mouth. It was the houseguest's wallet! He had laid it on the nightstand in the guest room. From then on we had to warn guests to keep their money somewhere Rocky couldn't get to it.

Cheerfully remembering Rocky 1992-2003,
Jerry
