You would have been very proud of Joe Lieberman the other day.

When he and McCain were giving their speeches re: Iraq, it was Joe that pointed out that "we musn't separate the war in Iraq from the wider war on terror"...

Which is EXACTLY what the dems want to do...because to do otherwise makes them in favor of letting the terrorists run the world, but they can still blame Pres. Bush for HIS nefarious war.

My little Pom was such a mellow, mild little thing until she started getting "goofy" in her 14-16th year.

For what it's worth, the Pom that attacked Jo-Ann was very old, or at least the owners told me. They too told me they never expected this behavior from the Pom.

They said they regularly let it run around loose and it had NEVER left the yard before like that. Much less attack a big Belgian Shepherd.

I have owned two great dogs...Molly, a very loyal Sheltie mix who was my best buddy for over 10 years...and then I owned the famous Cassie the Coonhound, who grew and grew and grew until she weighed 160 pounds. She used to try to sit on my lap and I would be trapped in the chair! LOL! Cassie was well-known in the neighborhood for her "Great Escapes" in which she would run about 20 mph for long stretches of time and could NOT be coaxed home. Once I caught her INSIDE a home in which remodellers had left the door open and she was ambling around inside!

A great dog, who got cancer and died too young at six.

I am about ready for another dog but won't be considering one until after we go on vacation tis summer.

I actually watched that get together with Liberman and McCain the other day.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how resolute they both were...and how much SENSE they both made.

Well go to hell.

This cocker spaniel looks EXACTLY like the one that attacked Jo-Ann!

I forgot that Bush had a cocker.

Spot wasn't a cocker spaniel, she was a Springer spaniel.

Consider another Sheltie...perfect sized dog as I see it.

Or a Lab. I've grown very enamored of these dogs.

When they wag their tail the entire bottom half of their body moves.

LOL

Seeing her in the cam fighting for her ball I do not think I would have wanted to get the wrong side of her.

Very cute and loyal to her master but I doubt she would let you muck about with her like Barney allows people to.

.......I love all dogs this is a fact......

So does the wife and I. While living in Tennessee and then in Florida the wife constantly "rescued" unwanted and/or abandoned dogs. She always found homes for these unfortunate animals and many, many are still alive and well. We hear from the "owners" quite regularly.

We are now retired and live in a remote part of Georgia yet she still rescues the occasional stray, I run ads and ask around, but we usually just find them a new owner and all is well.

No one has yet to come to us and ask "did you give my dog away". They would not like the "dressing down" Cathy would give them for allowing their beloved pet to run loose and especially for not putting out an "all out" search to find them. The little wife can be quite verbal when it comes to mistreatment of any pet.

I wouldn't use a food processor to slice tomatoes.  It's too likely to make tomato soup out of it.  I'd use a mandoline, instead:

So long as you use the knuckle protector it's just as safe as a food processor, it's easy to set up and store and it makes great slices (or juliens, etc.).  This one is by OXO and sells for around $70.  OXO is the brand of kitchen gadget's the Alton Brown uses a lot on Food Network. 

The big thing I'm coveting now is the Cuisinart Griddler.  It's like a George Forman grill, but also works well as a panini press and, unlike the Foreman ones, it can open out flat and be used as an indoor flat grill.  It also has flat plates to swap for the grill plates and can do things like pancakes.  It's about $130.

Oh.

Looked like a cocker to me. Still, that cocker did look like Bush's dog, same brown and white coloring.

One time these same cocker owners had yet another dog loose. Do you know that I actually opened my garage door for them and allowed them to chase the loose dog into the garage so they could catch it?

I have never been anything but kind to these people when everyone in the neighborhood hates them. They're black, by the way, was hesitant to mention this. The only black family in this neighborhood. With three dogs that they can't control and I never even mentioned to the SPCA guy that they sicced on me about the butcher knife, my own beat up hands, or how their dogs are constantly loose.

I've been fair is what I'm saying here and yet didn't one of the people in that car yesterday say to me, when I said I wasn't paying their Vet bill as I had a $186 Vet bill of my own, that "You should get your dog out of Deerwood (my community name)as it's attacking little dogs."

No, I'm not making this up.

"No Good Deed Goes Un-rewarded".

I'm a bit heart-broken, being raised in America and everything. I STILL think there's such a thing as fairness and decency but when it comes to money, it all flies out the window.

How much does PRIDE cost?

Didn't you used to refer to Cassie as the Designer Coon Hound? I remember reading your delightful stories about her.

I now have 2 Yorkies named Bo and Toot...fun inside dogs who serve as my 27 lbs. (collective) Warning System for anyone or anything coming near my rural home.

I have had 3 shelties and they are lovely dogs but they are yappy and sometimes can be rather nervous especially if you do not have them from a puppy.

We had Lassie from a puppy and she was so different to the 2 we had a grown dogs though Ziggy was not that nervous he was not the adventurous type that Lassie was. Bluebell was so nervous that if this was your first experience of the breed you would never have had another one.

We had a friend who had one from a pup and that was quite nervous so I think it is a characteristic.

Here is my beautiful ziggy

Did not know you need a quorum to speak or is that just to vote? We often only have about half a dozen member in either of are chambers unless there is an important debate or vote especially late evening.

A quorum is required for any substantive business, but talking on the floor is pretty much open.  A maneuver to force attendance or delay proceeding is to make a "quorum call," suggesting that a quorum isn't present and forcing a roll call to see if they can proceed with business.  The link goes to a Library of Congress article on the topic that lays it out pretty well.

What a beautiful dog. Loved, content, and well cared for. That's about all they wish for.
