Morning AB, All,

Warm as summer here in the swamps of Delaware.

Joe Biden...ah. Seems this fellow's been out and about and pontificating.

This coming week ladies and gems, Joseph Hairplugs Biden, his official name, will be in his glory. It will be as if he ascended into heaven, met 72 virgins and had on hand a fistful of Viagara.

For Biden, now head of some important committee, I forget, will commence the "hearings".

There will be, go with me here, TELEVISION CAMERAS all around.

Ahhh. Better than the 72 virgins per Biden's brain.

He will be in his glory and, of course, he will tell us all about it on MTP.

Nothing much new here except my beloved Belgian shepherd got attacked by a loose dog as I took her on her daily walk. This is the SECOND dog to attack her, all while she's on her leash and tethered with the harness and walkinig innocently upon a public street.

First one was a Pomeranian, I'm not making this up. Thing weighs about ten pounds. Last week it was a cocker spaniel. Both dogs bolted out of their yard and ran right up to my BIG Belgian Malinois...big, folks. She's a BIG dog! Big teeth!

She's not vicious, not at all. But go with me here, when a dog, ANY dog attacks her, well, hey, THEY DO NOT WIN.

The people with the cocker think I should pay for their dog's vet bill. Jo-Ann did a number on the cocker, folks. I got my hands tore up trying to break them up and precious granddaughter watched the whole thing, screaming in abject fear as Mom-Mom rolled around in a ditch trying to break up the two dogs.

Of course I am not paying their Vet bill and for God's sake, they OUGHT TO PAY MINE. Jo-Ann DID get a bite, just a small one as the cocker had but one shot at the big dog and after that, the cocker was Jo-Ann's to destroy. But the cocker's bite was significant. The cocker attacked her underbelly as these things go with a small dog going after a big one. The cocker got some kind of vein and it bled profusely. My Vet had to put her up on the table rightaway and stitch her with no anesthetic.

THOSE idiots called the SPCA (I did not because hey, two dogs got in a fight, their dog was loose, I did nothing wrong). The SPCA guy got here, he talked to us, he told me he could talk to me all day because hey, I can talk now. Jo-Ann was a big puppy when he asked to see her.

I asked him "Just what is Jo-Ann supposed to do when a dog attacks her? She should just sit down and take it?"

Hey folks, we do live in a la-la liberal hell anymore and such as common sense self-defense seems to have gone out the window.

So yesterday the cocker's owners stop me as I was on the road and ask if we can settle this Vet bill. Translation, will you give us money for OUR Vet bill? I'm perfectly serious here, folks, this is the kind of stupid America we live in now. No one has a single shred of common sense anymore.

I was nice about it and these folks, their dogs are always running loose.

Oh and did I tell you about the butcher knife?

Let me stop and gather my wits. Between Biden and the Cocker...well what's the difference, really?

Send the Cocker nuts a letter from your lawyer. Beat them to the punch. Include a copy of your vet bill, tell them to cease and desist.

I agree on the vet bills, screw those idiots.

A neighbor's larger dog came into our yard years ago and attacked our very young mini-Doxie who was leashed. The neighbor immediately came over after our return from the vet and paid all expenses while offering profuse apologies.

You know, Fish, in my long sad life, it's nice to know I've done somethings right. When I was stationed in Germany we lived in a little German town that was like that. The neighbors were alway bitching about our dogs, my big American truck, and how often I didn't clean the street like they did. We made some very good friends there, too, so don't get me wrong. But I saw the problem mostly as having neighbors.

When I got stationed here in Alabama we deliberately looked for a place with land way out in the country. We found our dream and I really have no neighbors to speak of. We've had a few loose cows to contend with, a wild dog or two (which get shot by most folks here), and the a lot of gun fire on weekends and during hunting season, but all in all I'm glad we don't live near others imposing their ways on us.
