If only she knew...

LOL, Shelly!

Hey, you can bookmark this thread and come back to it to cheer you up when you're having a bad day...

Seriously, anyone who'd eat popcorn, so their dogs could dine in style deserves SOME sort of recognition. If not sainthood, at least...um.... what's the rank below that? Beatification?

(Sorry, I ain't Catholic...   )

Okay, I needed something to cheer me (us?) up, after chipping fozen dog poop out of the dog yard today...
I threw my back out last week, so I enjoyed this activity even less than usual!

Saw an advert on the local Freecycle for a 14 year old cat, been with the owners from 8 weeks old and now it has to go because their young children find it too friendly and intrusive!  If those kids learn a lesson from this, I hope it will be to offload their parents when they get elderly and intrusive on their lives and I hope those same parents remember that poor cat when they sit alone and unvisited.

I have the alone and unvisited in the nursing home thing all figured out in advance. I'm going to forge a Service Dog credential so I can have my dog with me. Otherwise I just know I'd spend 10 years in a wheelchair tied to the railing in a hallway somewhere, unnoticed and unloved, boring anyone who passed by too close with stories of my misspent youth, much-enhanced tales of my dog training successes, lost loves... .
Hell, I'm gonna do that anyway. This way I'll have a dog to bore.

Next time you're broke and hungry, dog food looking pretty darned attractive when your stomach growls, too poor to buy margarine, try Tempura Sauce on your popcorn instead. Really. It isn't bad, and the water you drink after all that salt fills you right up!
I still eat it as a special treat sometimes, but now I mix it with the melted butter.

I know I'm wierd.

Sunsilver:

                  I have several freinds that I do lots of favors for over the year these freinds have small children and when spring comes I call up favors owed and borrow children 2 with buckets and 2 with shovels and direct them to the yard of course aterwards I usualley have to stop at Mcdonalds on the way home but it,s worth it. 

I've been chiseling poop-sickles sprouting out of the ice/snow with an ice axe for a week. What I couldn't get up the rain is washing down the hill into the stone as I type this. I pity any person who gets near the dumpster before I pressure wash it for spring if that last contractor bag splits open from the weight when they come to dump it.

Ee-e--u-w!

It has recently occured to me that my Golden Years, not far away, will likely be pretty awful. Neither myself nor my sister had any kids. We are the last of our line. She'll be fine, having spent her life making wads of money and investing wisely since the days when cashmere sweaters knotted around her neck were all the rage in the post-graduate world of L.A. yuppie society.
Me? No. I have $1200. set aside for retirement. I'm thinking that won't be enough for transportation to the city dump to set up residence in an large, cardboard appliance crate.

Will sister share? No. She'll be sitting in her beautiful Studio City home in southern CA with full-time care to help her into the Mercedes for Dr. visits when she finally croaks. Her silly lop-earred cats will inherit everything, no doubt.

Our family makes it to age 78. That's it. Only 19 more years at best for me. The good news is that we tend to enjoy pretty good health right to near the end. I only hope I don't break with the family norm and linger in poor health for months or years, soaking up tax revenue to support a miserable existance, no one to speak up for me when my bed-sores become infected because nobody turned me or changed my chucks.

This is WAY too depressing!
Lets go back to talking about poop-sickles!

hodie,
  being that i am in the military, i understand why alot of fellow servicmen/ and women would want a gsd, maybe not a puppy for protection, but none the less a dog for protection.the name german shepherd implies steadfast and noble,most of us think ''working dog'' when the gsd is mentioned! so what better choice for the family. being that it is in most of our nature to protect others we would just like to know that someone is protecting our loved ones while we're doing our job. also don't under estimate the military wife! we have 2 young girls, 2 & 4 and my wife handles them, the 3-4 dogs i have + a litter each year to raise, the bills, and everything else under the sun, and better than i ever could.
 although not a puppy, i did purchase a ''protection'' gsd on my last/2nd deployment that we picked up 2 weeks after my 2nd daughter was born! was our 1st import/working line dog and the wife does very well with him, sh$t she handles him better than i can. but he was only 12 mo old when we got him and some training from the seller and was a hhandful to say the least. i know i know a dog 1 yr old is not capable of protecting my family, whatever i've heard it before. he's now 3 and if hungary/mnjk will ever get his papers back he will be titled while i'm on this deployment. making it alittle easier for her around the house. my wife loves him to death even know he can drive her crazy most days with all the energy she would never let me get rid of him to make it easier for her! besides i pitty the poor sap that mistakes my home as an ''easy'' target these days.
 
SS- i dream of buying all the best gsd's with my lotto winning, and we will breed selectively and only when i feel there are enough quality homes for them! that way hopefullu the breed we all love so will no longer be the #1 name on the sheltered dogs list ! to go along with your list for the real doggy heaven rescue

sincerely kenny

I will take the male if he is strong and able to work long hours soon :-)  I agree DUMP 'EM.  ( I guess this is why I have TEN German Shepherd and 3 parrots including a very large Macaw and a Moluccan Cockatoo who certainly is a terrible TOO!)  Barb
