The name is a portmanteau of "velocipede" and "dog".
Well, who'd have guessed that? |

because dogs are more intelligent than pigeons
That is debatable IMO, for many or most dogs. My favorite is a combination of capsaicin and cat feces; the former for the dog, and the latter for the owner.
And, no I am not a dog hater. Fellow dog lovers can watch this short and very heartwarming dog video. A blind little dog is rescued from a garbage heap; it has a happy ending. Everyone I know goes for the kleenex after watching it.

That's not a tiger - that's "Biggles"(*) and he lives with us.
(*) well OK, perhaps only in his dreams! |

As an undersize paperboy, I only had one dog problem. "Arky" was a good-old-boy on the route, but one of his several dogs would follow me around nipping at my often bare heels. Generally, Arky's dogs were quite friendly and never caused me any trouble. One day, the silly little thing clamped himself on my knee.
I pulled up my pants leg, and Arky found some spray in his fishing gear. I wasn't much hurt, smallish dog and heavy overalls. "I'll tie him up and call the Sheriff," Arky said.
After the watch period was over and the Sheriff had examined the dog, Arky asked, "You don't need him for anything now?" Nope, Sheriff Scofield replied.
"Good, I'm tired of this mean dog," replied Arky. Picked up a concrete block, the 50 pound kind, and smashed his head. When I came by that afternoon, he took me back and showed me that one wouldn't bother me anymore.
Ok, concrete blocks might not be practical on a bike. |
