This story made my day--I came to work whistling after I heard it on CNN. Not that I don't come to work whistling every day, James and Anna.

You put it out--you get it back. I never like to wish anything bad on anyone,but those that I despise,I just wish that they get EVERYTHING that they deserve!!

He sure did.

Here's the latest update on this puppy that I just read in the Pensacola News Journal (the poor pup had to go through Ivan right after almost getting shot... do dogs have 9 lives too??).
Barb

Trigger the dog loses two brothers to canine virus

Troy Moon, Pensacola News Journal

Remember Trigger, the avenging puppy who shot his owner as the man was about to turn the same gun on him and his three siblings?

Trigger survived Hurricane Ivan and is faring well at the Escambia County Animal Shelter with a sister and mother, Sadie. But two of Trigger’s brothers died Sunday of parvovirus, a viral disease that usually affects puppies, said shelter director Bruce Rova.

Rova said Trigger’s dead siblings caught the disease from a litter of puppies left at the shelter just days before Hurricane Ivan hit early Thursday morning.

Trigger attracted national attention earlier this month after he saved himself and his siblings from being killed by Jerry Bradford of Bratt. Bradford planned to shoot the seven shepherd-mix puppies because he couldn’t control them and keep them from neighbors’ yards. He shot three puppies and buried them. The others survived because 12-pound Trigger, wriggling in Bradford’s arms, yanked the trigger of the gun with his paw, sending a bullet into Bradford’s wrist.

National news outlets from across the world followed the dog-shoots-owner story. So did Pensacola, until Ivan.

Hundreds of people from across the county inquired about adopting Trigger and his siblings. (Trigger was named by shelter staff. Remington, Winchester and Colt were chosen for Trigger’s siblings, but the names hadn’t yet been distributed among the dogs.)The adoptions couldn’t go forward without clearance from the state attorney’s office, which might need the dogs as evidence. That was supposed to happen last week. Then, Ivan hit and most governmental action in Escambia County ceased. The clearance never came.

On Sunday, Rova sounded hopeful he would hear from the state attorney’s office in the coming days and Trigger and his sister and mother could have a good home.

I think animals somehow sense alot more than we hive them credit for. One of my old college buds in Dallas has a cat named Nigel that we found in a dumpster in 1985... well last year , Nige got real sick , lost alot of wieght and Brian was sure he was gonna die within a few hours... so he figured he'd take him in and have Nige put to sleep, but first, he wanted Nige to at least roam the backyard ONE MORE TIME... opened the door, took Nige outside, set him down and Nige bolted across the backyard, over the 6 foot wooden fence and was gone !!! he came back later that nite for food and has been doing fine since.... I believe his 20th birthday will be this coming March !!!

Hardy would be a pretty good description... in Nige's earleir years, he would walk past snarling dogs witout even lookin at them.... kinda an "I'll come back later and killya, but right now I'm gettin laid" attitude... one mean cat, he endured living with about 15 college guys and was often the center of attraction at the ... ummm.. bi-monthly
