    My cat seems to be interested in watching me cast. It keeps its distance however...

    I have in the past, but she has been gone gone for eight years now. She was a rescue and weighed 165 pounds when she passed. She had her own spot in my casting shop.

    She passed the morning of my Mother's funeral. Was a really bad day!
    How's that hope and change working for you?

    i had a chessie lab mixed once that would eat any boolit that come in reach of her mouth if it was on the floor...
    the dog i got now likes to lay wherever i need to stand or walk, she was a bit silver colored once from when i was melting some lino and she moved spots on me.
    she now prefers not to be around when i am casting or in the reloading room.

    While casting? I used to talk to mine all the time.

    Too dangerous with the hot lead for me to chance a bad burn on my Labrador Retriever as he is not old enough to not want to play all the time. Labradors will put anything in their mouths and "retrieve" it to the next county!

    Reminds me of the Irish Rovers, "Wasn't That A Party".....

    "I saw someone under the kitchen table,

    Talkin' to my old tomcat.

    They were talkin' about hockey,

    The cat was talkin' back...

    'Long about then, everything went black!

    Wasn't that a party?"


    Look it up on www. youtube.com and enjoy.

    I dont need to talk to my dog. I have the voices to argue with. My dog has never agreed with me either. If I wanted to get frustrated with a female, I would talk to my wife.
    I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.

    My dog sits in my man cave while I cast and while I reload. Living in my house I currently have SWMBO, 3 daughters, the wifes dog (female), me and my male dog. He and I retreat to the cave for male bonding, on occasion my sons even come over. My dog agrees with everything I say, smart dog...

    I talk to the dog all the time. He is the only one that understands me.

    My dogs refuse to listen to me as I try to keep them in the gate when it's opened. They blast out into the road and try to start stuff with the dogs across the road. I doubt that any of them would pay attention when there is hot lead about! So, aaahhhhhh, no, I don't. My dogs have a K-9 I.Q. of four points under that of a rock!

    Of course. But he doesn't like the shop much.
    Especially if something starts up, like the air compressor, or the sound of a blow gun squirting air.
    But he came out and helped me with one of my garden beds this morning. He likes to be my little helper dog.
    And he rides along when running around being Grandpa Chauffeur.
    He's a rescue, he found me one day.

    My three aren't allowed near the bench in the garage while casting and they have the side door open so they generally stay in the backyard. The 15 1/2 yr old cat is deaf so she doesn't care. The reloading/computer room in the house is another matter. If I'm there, they're there. I listen to "hate" (right wing) radio most of the time anyway. Sometimes I'll have the TV on also while doing chores that don't require a great deal of attention to prevent a bad situation. Multi tasking and efficient time management is very useful since time seems to go faster and faster the older I get.

    My dogs are outside dogs..... I cast in the garage and re-load in the man cave so no, I don't chat while doing my thing.

    No .... but , I did have an old tomcat that came down to the dungeon and made a few suggestions about how to improve the workspaces . Haven't had a dog in there yet that criticized the job .

    Well... yea... why not. She's a smart dog and knows to keep her distance. Look at my avatar, she knows when to put the ear muffs on... Oh, and she know when to leave too. If I screw up and start cursing, she leaves. She doesn't like it when I'm mad and gets out of the way. She also knows when I'm hurting and comes up as if to say "Aw man, are you OK?". How do they know that stuff?
