I have been blessed with a gift from God. This gift came in different packaging. It came as a Mike. Some of you are wondering; what the heck is a Mike. Sometimes I wonder what a Mike is.
Let me tell you what I have learned.
A Mike is always there when you need him.
He is willing to let you vent at him.
He is willing to take abuse because he loves you.
He will drive to you in a minutes notice if you need him
He will open his house if you need a place to have a long chat
He loves you for who you are and does not judge you when you are an ass
He gives and gives and gives to those in his life
He loves Jesus Christ, his wife and daughter, and his friends
He talks to much, eats to much, drinks to much, smokes to many cigars
He is a Mike.
I love my Mike. I wish you all had one.

True, the mike can be an elusive creature.It is not recomended for the new collector. The training is time consuming and the impataint nature is not for the faint at heart. Better to get yourself a chris to begin with. This species is more predictable although like any masculine species must be treated with respect. Chris,s are known for their tireless attempts to please the master. A chris will not be the fastest learner. This will more than be made up with heart and effort. Both the animals have the rounded belly so common in the genus. Other like traights include loudness, pressure issues and strong opinions. Should one ever come in contact with either species you certainly must consider yourself blessed.
