Drover

Drover - big, black mutt. We gave him away once, but he came back. I would give him away again, but we need an outside dog all night. Dover is the son of a dog we took in when the owner died. He is just over a year old and weighs around 70 pounds. If you don't know him, he can be scary. He is mostly tied up, but I let him off to run while I do outside chores in the morning and evening. If the state road yard next door is open, sometimes he goes in there and runs up and down their big gravel piles. He is fast. Drover is obedient when it comes to the command of "come". Many other things he just doesn't understand. He wants to play with the little kitties, but they think he is too big. Drover likes eggs, and has been caught helping himself to them. Now I either pick up eggs before I turn him loose, or keep a real close eye on him. Drover also likes to catch chislers (ground squirrels) and that helps the neighbor if he doesn't dig in the alfalfa field. Drover's name was Dribbles when he was little, but we were hoping that he would outgrow the reason for the name - but he hasn't.
