Two comments:

1. Last night, someone stole our 24 ft. flagpole and the American flag on it which was in the front of the house not far from the front door. A neighbor across the street rang our doorbell this morning and told us his flag pole and flag were stolen and he knew we had the same and ours was gone, too. Sure enough, ours was gone.

That neighbor called the police and a policeman came to our house as well as his. The nice cop was going to check the entire length of the street which goes for miles in this subdivision, to see if other poles/flags were taken or still there. If some are still there, a number of officers will be patrolling the street during the night to try to catch the thieves.

The feeling you get when your property is stolen is overwhelming. I started to tell the cop that if I had the thieves, I would stomp them to death. I didn’t say that but told Bob that is what I wanted to say. He said he is glad I didn’t say that. He said he could tell I was furious over this theft.

2. My vet’s office sent a link by email about what regular foods should not be given to a dog and what regular food was good/okay to give a dog. I never gave Yorkie Prissy regular food, but Bob does it at every meal and Prissy loves that he does that. I didn’t know if some foods shouldn’t be fed to a dog. I knew chocolate was a no-no, but didn’t know about other foods.

I made a list of those bad foods (and why they are bad) and good foods and will post it. Seems to me, one needs to know what foods in your garden (or foods not in your garden) are okay or not to give your pet.

I’ll get that list posted today.

I’m assuming they wanted the flagpoles to sell for scrap metal..which would mean the flags got tossed or if in good condition are headed to a flea market.
At least you didn’t go out to see your flag gone, and an ISIS flag had replaced yours.

What a shame! What kind of idiot/ass steals a flag and flagpole. Too cheap to buy one so let’s break a law to get one?? Or is it flagpole redistribution? Entitlement to someone else’s? Our civil society is going all to crap.

Violence solves some problems. I've had a lot of stuff delivered recently and everything stayed on the front porch.

Nothing like years of conditioning the neighborhood to understand that theiving will be met by violence.

That would be helpful. We only give our dog the pedigree dog food that the shelter recommended. Lately, though she doesn’t seem to eat as much of it, and is constantly going through the house looking for any crumbs that may have dropped on the floor.

She also grabs treats like she is starving rather than kinda taking them daintily like she used to. I started to give her vitamins, but she is still acting hungry, and the dog food bowl always has some dry food in it.

I know she has lost some weight - she was too fat, but now she doesn’t need any more. I was thinking that maybe she needed some real food like chicken. Actually she is my grand daughter’s dog, but she could not take her with her when she got married.
