Good morning dripdiver.

I see that you have chosen to mix it up with two other longstanding, credible and knowledgeable dog loving FReepers.

I write to let you know that you do not need to copy me with any of your posts. I no longer care about anything that you might post.

You do need to read this very quickly, as I very much expect that the continuation of my sarcastic attitude, directed at a person that attacked me, without cause, about a very well mannered and loving dog, will result in this post being deleted.

I don’t suffer fools well and I have never liked ignorant and arrogant liars. I do accept that there are some in our society whose brains failed to evolve and I accept that this is not their fault. I liken this mental deficit to that of the poor folks that ate paint chips when they were kids.

I do want to take the time to thank you for yesterday. Between you and the moderator, I now have about $45 a month that I get to spend on other things....THANKS.

I accept the fact that you and I will never become pen-pals or bbq buddies... I know, it’s sad, but sometimes that’s just how life goes.

I don’t know if this news will sadden you as much as it does me, but I lost one of my ducks last night. Her name was mini mom. Mini mom and her life-mate have been breeding, so they would have had a family this Spring.

Having studied the crime scene, I have determined that the killer is a vicious Raccoon. This heartless creature didn’t even eat her, it just killed mini mom and left it’s remains. I have set a trap. Your learned guidance to me has made me rethink what I had planned to do to dispatch the Coon once I trap it. I was thinking of simply shooting the Coon in the head while it was still in the trap.

Now I’m thinking of taking advantage of having such a vicious child killing dog. Perhaps I’ll just wing it and let it crawl out of the trap, allowing my Satan dog to chase it down to finish it off.

Please know that I fill my posts to you with wisecracks, crude jokes, sarcasm and mostly nonsense because you have proven to me that you deserve little more.

Please know that I love and respect you just as much today as I did yesterday.

I do wish you to have a good day, or at least the kind of day that you so richly deserve.

OMG!

I’m SO sorry about mini mom!

I used to have ducks [five Pekins] and they can get to be just like little weird looking dogs.

Mine followed me literally *everywhere* I went...even on walks up the mountain, me with 5 ducks and 2 Dobes trailing behind....what a sight that must have been.

We’d stop on the way back and they’d play in the fish pond until I called them back out.
[they were very obedient and bright]

I’d sit out on the sidewalk in the summer, playing a Casio keyboard and they’d hop and run me like they were dancing.
They were such fun.

My Prestone-poison loving neighbor complained about them quacking and rather than have them meet some agonizing fate when I wasn’t there to save them, I gave them to my cousin’s wife.

That was over 20 years ago and I still miss them.

What kind of duck was mini mom?

Gosh.
I’m just SO sorry for your loss.
