A Bottle of Wine, a Dog and a Hole

Owning a working terrier without allowing it to work is like owning a vintage bottle of fine wine just so you can read the label.

To have admired the label without ever tasting the wine is to have missed the essence of the thing.

And the fine wine won't eat your house if it isn't drunk. :-)

I hope happy, dirty farm dog at least equates to a fine vintage of say, Boone's Farm.
