The server I run, RiverCity, went down tonight after a valiant fight with a Lab. The Lab went for the kill by targeting the black thingie (also known as a power cord) attached to the box. The box resisted, but alas the Lab's power was too strong and RC went to the dark side.

Never one to submit easily the box is once again emitting a humming sound of satisfaction and a blue glow is now visible. The Lab, she is banned at least until her master pleads her case in the court of mom and dad. Dad is known to favor extreme measures in this case. Mom on the other hand is a mom and is known to negotiate in an unfair manner to moderate measures.

Seriously, sorry to the players that got bounced. I know it isn't good.

Lol now I know why I could not reconnect.

Seriously, I can relate. Wife and I got a new puppy, Blue-Heeler/Austrailian Shephard. She was upstairs and all of a sudden my livingroom lights went out. She ate the cord for the lamp.

Fortunately for me, the cords for our computers are hidden

The flooring I have stacked downstairs... well that is another story. 8 boxes and she's managed to rip open 4 of them, chewing on the wood. Wife and I are hoping the new flooring pattern with millions of holes from razor sharp teeth will look good. The good thing is the hole-filled flooring will match the section where she chewed through two door trims and a wall.

Dogs.... oh man my great goldie use to chew on my wifes underwear, pants, shirts. Nothing of mine or course. Then he decided to see what a wedding ring tastes like. nothing like following around your dog for a week waiting for it to take a crap. A few items thrown at him seemed to cure him of his "problem". Little crap is lucky he is still alive.

My parents have a blue heeler. Friendliest dog you would ever want to meet, but they are smart too, and if left to their own devices... well they make their own fun. I love reading in their breed description, that they may have a tendency to herd small children

Funny you mention that too. We have two 9 yr old daughters, a 7 year old son, and a 16 year old. Our dog herds them around when they are geting ready for bed or school. Will even nip at their heels if they don't move fast enough.

I've always had blue-heelers. Great dogs.
