Is this what the mean by "shakedown"?
Had a German Shepard that would play football with us like this.
During the war, the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry had five officers and 55 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded. An additional two officers and 232 enlisted men died from disease.Over half of the men that died from disease died in Confederate prisons, and almost two thirds of those that died in prisons died at Andersonville

The conditions at Andersonville were horrible. I didn't fully appreciate how bad it was until I was there.

I've been there, to look at it now it is not hard to imagine how horrible that place was. No buildings, very little cover for prisoners, only a single stream thru the prison you drank on the upstream side and crapped on the downstream side. Lousy food and very little of it. The entire area was covered by cannon and if trouble or an escape was brewing they blasted the camp with grape shot.
A thousand people a month died on average. Imagine digging 30 to 50 graves a day. They are buried side by side in rows, no space between the men.
In the lower portion of the picture are guys crapping. Imagine the conditions in Georgia during the summer or a thunderstorm.

Spike Milligan had that quote on his headstone.
'I told you I was ill...' Spike Milligan's gravestone quip is nation's favourite epitaph
Milligan’s (pictured) words of wisdom beat Oscar Wilde’s ‘Either those curtains go or I do’ and Frank Sinatra’s ‘The best is yet to come’, in a new poll.
Guess what it means if you noticed the mouse.
I know a guy who has Border Collies which could likely do that!
Some people just don’t get the sarcasm. (About the mouse)
