Carbon Pawprints (Save The Earth -Eat Your Pet)
Investor's Business Daily ^ | Ocyober 23, 2009 | IBD Editorial Staff

Environmentalism: As polls show belief in global warming is dropping, a new study suggests that dogs and cats, like people, are a plague upon the earth. They say people should have edible pets. Here, kitty, kitty.

A new Pew Research Center study conducted Sept. 30-Oct. 4 says the number of Americans who think there's solid evidence the average temperature on earth has been getting warmer over the past few decades has plummeted from 71% in April 2008 to 57% today.

Over the same period, there's been a comparable decline in the proportion of Americans who say global temperatures are rising as a result of human activity, such as burning fossil fuels.

Just 36% say that today, down from 47% last year. Part of this decline is perhaps due to the increasing number of scientists who have come forward to say that while the earth has been warming, it has not been dangerously so, and that in the past decade it has actually cooled. The people don't need to be told that — they can feel it themselves

She is not your average “sit like the good French Renaissance lapdog you were bred to be” type Papillon.

We call her Minnie the Maniac for a reason.

PETA’s not going to like this.

One of the few times I can remember that thinking of PETA made me smile.

Thanks!!!!

She tries really hard to be a good dog. Well, she’s a better cat, but when Baron, our big orange lump of cat, gets up from his place on the couch and smacks her back into reality, she realizes that she is only a cat wannabe.

The Whoopee Boys (1986)

Barney: [at another Party, Barney sees the same old lady, now holding a Shar-Pei in her arm] Hey, its my favorite dog lady again! How you doing? You have a new dog?

Woman with Dogs: Yes, this is a Shar-Pei; its a Chinese dog.

Barney: [Barney pulls on the dogs wrinkled skin] Damn, you need to iron this dog, lady. Look at this!

Woman with Dogs: No, stop, thats just how the dog is!

Barney: S*@t, you could fit two dogs in here! [he continues to pull on the dogs loose skin]

Woman with Dogs: [Slapping Barneys hand away] No! Please, stop abusing my dog, you horrible man!

Barney: You have any Vietnamese neighbors?

Woman with Dogs: No, I dont think so.

Barney: Well, if any ever move in, and you go on vacation, believe me, youre going to want to take Fluffy with you! You'll come back and your dog will be missing its hind leg, saying where were you?

Woman with Dogs: Oh! Thats horrible! You terrible, horrible man!

Barney: You go next door and talk to your neighbor, and he'll be standing there, picking his teeth, No! We no see Fluffy! What your dog look like? Your dog have big, juicy hind leg?

Woman with Dogs: Oh, you awful man! Please, go away!

Barney: Fine! I guess this means we cant be pals no more?

Let them eat their cats & dogs with ice-cream and watch peta pitch a adolescent fit. Then watch the demo's weasle their way back into their dark soul-filled hatred of the human race. This U.S.A. that I now live in is filled with saggy-titted old ass hippies, roman the rapist, and race-baiting news reporters who have done nothing but contibute to the demise of this country-a 3rd world cesspool. D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, used to be the cradle of our nation but are now run by thieves and unusefull politicians and crime ridden welfare state sponsored retrobates. That includes the sisters who thinks it is fine to have a clild that the state pays for. The day will come when these misguided characters will find themselves without the dole, and have to redeem themselves, or sink. I hope they sink. I want my country back, and hope that when Obama flees to Kenya, the rest of the P.O.S's. In Washington leave with him; the whole lot of them are useless.

Close...probably somewhere in the breedline. The foreground, is Beaux (1 year), a flame point Birman. In the back, is Stella (6 yrs), a flame point Ragdoll. They sorta love each other...maybe “like sometimes” is a better way of putting it...kthxbai

They’re very pretty. I bred and showed Siamese for years, and of course we were in the Shorthair Division so I’m not as familiar with the longhair types.

They are good dogs and true, and they never met a duck they didn’t want to bring home to Mother.
