Know the feeling, my family room looks just like that - 7Ft. MH w/ a jig on it in the corner, and the AAAHEM... ER... Cat staring right at it for hours...
My wife has a cat that got into one of my crankbaits that was hooked to my fishin' rod one day while I was at work. Came home early luckily to go fishin' and I see the cat layin' in the floor and everything in the utility room looked like it had been ransacked. Well I roll him over slowly and..Uh OH! That's right..he had both front paws hooked together with one set of trebles, he broke one set off and had em' hooked THRU his nose and his back feet were shredded from tryin' to get free(that took some strength). Well needless to say that was one sore pussy for a while True story...and the feline now is a huge Tom and healthy.
BJ, my cat would have a blast with your dog! I used to have a sheltie and The Tigger would chase him around, swatting at his tail or laying underneath him and batting the feathers with his paws!
