		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off of their record-breaking 6th Super Bowl title, and as was the case after the last victory in 2005, the face of the Steelers is changing during the offseason. They've already lost Nate Washington, and now there has been an agreement reached with a division rival. This move may send Steeler Nation into an uproar, but it is a done deal nonetheless.

In a trade finalized a la the Colts' move from Baltimore to Indianapolis in the middle of the night back in 1984, the Steelers and Bengals made a deal that nobody ever saw coming. Cincinnati needed a new WR after losing TJ Houshmanzadeh to Seattle. They've landed the hard-hitting, always happy-go-lucky on the field, Hines Ward, Pittsburgh's all-time leader in every statistical category for wide receivers. In turn, the Steelers get, coincidentally, Cincy's 2008 first round draft pick, linebacker Keith Rivers the man whose jaw Ward broke with a vicious hit in the first meeting between the Steelers and Bengals last season. This is also a good thing for the Steelers to land a young linebacker, as their linebacking core is aging fast. James Harrison is over 30 even though he just had the best year of his career, Casey Hampton is sometimes overweight and out of shape, and James Farrior is nearing his end, and signed a contract extension that will no doubt keep him in Pittsburgh until he retires, which could be in the next couple years for all we know.

The deal is a good move for both teams, but I must say that I will certainly miss Hines Ward. On the other hand, I look forward to seeing what Rivers can do. Until nex time, this is The Blitzburgh Pit Stop reminding you that nobody on your team is safe from the trade block, even your all-time greatest WR.

		<title>Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh</title>

		<description>Pittsburgh, PA. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles,  ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Pittsburgh, PA. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be losing half of those trophies. After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadel and President Barack Hussain Obama, Obama decided to redistribute half of their Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league. 

"We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl." said Obama "We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times." Obama's plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. "The Detroit Loins are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well." Obama explains in his plan that he has imposed on Godel and the NFL. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches and excellent community service and commitment to their fans, has prospered greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies. But President Barack Hussain Obama's plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL's less successful teams. Obama went on to further proclaim, "In these difficult times we are all in this to work together. We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city and for every fan." 

"My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league." Obama assures. That's over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about loosing any Super Bowl Trophies. "The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can't seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title." Obama promises. "We are a country and league of hope. We all need to make a change. It does not matter the color of the teams uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league." 

The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again. The redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler's division rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals who also have fallen on hard times have never won a Super Bowl. This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate. Finally, one of the Steeler's two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and provide hope in the face of uncertainty. This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper. 

All hope is not lost for Pittsburgh fans, Barack Hussain Obama has another plan in place. Obama has met with MLB and commissioner Bud Selig on a similar plan. The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their world series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their loosing 16 straight seasons and counting. This plan will help stimulate the Pirates and enable them to regain the American Dream. Barack Hussain Obama will be meeting with the NHL and Michael Phelps in the upcoming weeks as this issue is high on his agenda for "Hope and Change." 
Steelers must now share their wealth and fruits of their success and hard work 
Obama provides hope to NFL teams.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A Steelers game is a holy war, a fight for what is virtuous and right. To live here in Pittsburgh, where Heinz Field sits like a fat temple bursting with kielbasa-loving believers, is to know all there is to know. Unflinching, unconditional, ours is a faith handed to us from Grandpa or Great-Grandpa, the guy who first got the season tickets and passed them down through generations. (The waiting list for season tickets is ten years long- you have to wait until someone dies.) Divorcing couples have been known to wage custody battles over season tickets; ex-husbands give in and sit with ex-wives, sharing nachos and a cold Iron. Hey, it's the Steelers. 
We are born into our religion, and we are baptized, and we receive our Communion. A Steelers fan never strays. You move to Denver, or to some fancy Sunbelt place, or even to California, you stay a Steelers fan. People say the Cowboys are America's Team, and we think that is so adorable. So very precious. Listen, people: The Steelers are God's Team. Hometown boy Bill Cowher having passed along to sainthood, we embrace a new messiah, Mike Tomlin, trusting in the guidance of our holiest family, the Rooneys(because they're from Pittsburgh). And now, of course, we have big Ben Roethlisberger, who can make us more than a tiny bit nervous , and Hine Ward, with his eternal smile(he smiles, we think, because he gets to play for Pittsburgh), and Troy Polamalu, who embodies the sort of humanity we expecte of our Steelers. Good people. Good people. Hey, they play for Pittsburgh- a rusty promised land where there is so little left to be proud of. So we will sit and wave our terrible towels and battle the gray chill that cuts to the bone, wave that towel, wave that towel in praise. We will do this because this is our life's work. We will continue to give birth to baby Steelers fans., and we will continue our charge to take over the world, to convert you and you and you. We are missionaries charged with leading you towards the light of Steeler Nation. It's probably a rule in the Bible Somewhere. Oh, it probably is...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Unlike the Bengals & Browns fans, we Steeler fans are getting poor  real quick, Why?

 It seams every time we turn around, we are buying AFC champ hats,  shirts, Super Bowl hats, shirts, terrible towels, DVDs, Flying home  to watch the game.  Calling in sick the day after the super bowl victory, missing work   to go see the super bowl parade, betting on the game, $20 blocks,  $10 blocks. This is big $$$ people !!!! So? The next time you run  into Bengal or Brown fan, ask, if they can help a brother out?   Because we will be needing more money for next year !
 We as the Steeler nation should be asking our government for a bale  out ??? I know we will put it to good use and God knows we need  it !!!!!!!!!!!! !!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ GO STEELERS! Superbowl bound! 
Tampa - Feb. 1st ! Here we go, Steelers! Here we go! 



âTwas the Night Before the Super Bowl 

âTwas the night before the Super Bowl, when along the gulf shore, 
Steelers fans were praying for âjust one more;â 

The players were nestled all snug in the sack, 
With visions of the first NFL Six-Pack; 

Coach Tomlin was young, but wise for his years, 
So I drifted off to sleep without any fears; 

When at the stadium there arose some strange chatter, 
The Cardinals feared, what was the matter; 

We heard âOkel Dokelâ, we heard âDouble Yoi,â 
We jumped from our beds, our hearts jumped for joy; 

He stood at the fifty with a grin ear to ear, 
Steelers fans everywhere started to cheer; 

Then in an instant to our surprise, 
This little old man had tears in his eyes; 

He went to the booth and there took his chair, 
While Terrible Towels waved in the air; 

Then over the airwaves came his shrill voice, 
The Steelers Nation began to rejoice; 

He said, âI am back, but you know I canât stay, 
I just had to see my Steelers play; 

From my home up above, I have a great view, 
But I wanted to celebrate here with you; 

So bring on the Birds, weâll send them a flyinâ, 
On the way back to Phoenix , they will be cryinâ; 

Ben, Hines, Troy , Jeff and all of the rest, 
No matter the outcome, to me youâre the best;â 

The airwaves went silent, the stadium still, 
Was this just a dream, it seemed so real; 

In our team we have faith, in our team we have hope, 
But the gameâs not the same without Myron Cope;

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hut one..hut two...I got the pigskin handed off to us by our good pals Rhiannon's Ragdoll . Here are the rules: we are gett'n our "team" together and we're gonna cross that line and make us a touchdown! Before the ref raises his boney little arms to signal the 6 points we gotta spill the beans (pffht..excuse me!) about ourselves and then pass the ball to 5 of our furiends who will each do the same. Don't forget to leave us a bone to let us know you got our hand signals and you're in the "game.

Are you ready...I'm going out for a long pass.........

1) I loved to kiss Daddy to make him laugh and the more he'd laugh the more I'd do it

2) I loved to play with my Little sister Jan and would play Chase her all over the place.

3)I loved to be close to Daddy and would jump in the chair with him even though there was no room

4) If Daddy was watch tv I'd lick him to get her attention. 

5)I would never bark in the house 

Okay, who is gonna run it in for a touchdown...hmm...how about:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A Steeler fan in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and 
 says, "Wanna hear a joke about Ravens fans?"
 
 The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke you 
 should know something. I'm 6' tall and 220 pounds and I'm a Raven 
 fan. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2" tall, 240 pounds and he's a 
 Raven fan, and the guy sitting next to him is 6'5", 280 pounds and 
 he's a Raven fan, too. Now, do you still wanna tell that joke?"
 
 The Steeler fan says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it 
 three times."


Ozzie Newsome, after living a full life, one day passes away. When
he gets to heaven, God is showing him around. They come to a modest
 little house with a faded Ravens flag in the window. "This house is
yours for eternity, Ozzie," says God. "This is very special; not
everyone gets a house up here." Ozzie feels pretty good, and he 
walks up to his house.
 
On his way up to the porch, he notices another house just around 
the corner. It's a three story mansion with a black and gold
driveway, a 50 foot flagpole with an enormous Steelers banner and a
Big Ben "7" on it. And in every window, there's a Terrible Towel.
 
Ozzie looks at God and says "I don't mean to be ungrateful, but I
have a question. I had a great career, I'm in the Hall of Fame, and
I built the Ravens into a Super Bowl team."
 
God says "So what is your point Ozzie?"
 
"Well why does Ben Roethlisberger get a better house than me?"
 
God chuckles, and says with a smile, "Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie. That's 
not Ben's house. That's MY HOUSE."]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Blowing His Own Horn  

Buffy goes almost everywhere with my mom, except work and (unfortunately) restaurants. Mom and I were meeting for lunch about two weeks after she got him.  I arrived first.  I told the hostess that I was expecting my mother, and was seated.  I heard a horn blow once ... then twice ... then again....

 

The hostess came back to our table and said, "Your mother and her dog are in the lobby."  Buffy had been expressing his disapproval at being left in the car alone even for a short time. 

 

On another occasion, I picked up Buffy, then went to pick up my mother at her church.  Buffy must have thought that the sermon was too long, because after ten minutes, he blew the horn.  I was horrified!  I calmed him down, and he was sitting there like an angel, but then he decided to really lean on the horn!

 

The amazing part is that Buffy is all of 17 pounds and an Outback's horn is not easy to blow!  But you-know-who has it figured out, all too well! This is a picture of him blowing the horn. We were watching from the window.

Dog Swallows RFID Chip, Starts Car

A woman in Surrey, England couldn't figure out why her car wouldn't start. An Automobile Association patrolman arrived on the scene and the two realized that the woman's dog had swallowed the car's immobilizer chip fob. The immobilizer contains an RFID chip that must be within a certain proximity of the steering column for the key to work. According to a BBC News report, the patrolman put the dog in the front seat, turned the key, and the car started right up.
 

 

How Many Dogs Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll fix any wiring that's not up to code.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my toys in the dark!

Collie: Wait right there. I'll go get Gramps. Should I ask him to bring a 40-watt? An 80-watt?

Doberman Pinscher: As long as it's dark, I'm going to take a quick nap.

English Pointer: There's a new light bulb there. Right ... there.

German Shepherd: All right, nobody leaves until I find out who broke the light bulb.

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're worried about a light bulb? 

Jack Russell Terrier: Put that ladder away, I can reach it on my own.

Mastiff: I am not afraid of the dark. I am NOT afraid of the dark. For the love of God (sob), will somebody please change the light bulb?

Standard Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it for me. By the time he's done rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Pug: Is this light bulb edible? Then forget it!]]></content:encoded>

Keep those sugarless treats out of Fido's reach. Veterinarians 
warned on Friday that a commonly used sweetener might cause liver 
failure in dogs, and perhaps even kill them.

Their report in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical 
Association appears to strengthen the suspected link between the 
sugar substitute xylitol, thought to make dogs sick, and possible 
liver failure.

Xylitol, a naturally occurring product, is found in many sugar-free 
chewing gums, candies, baked goods and toothpastes.

Researchers Sharon Gwaltney-Brant and Eric Dunayer with staff at a 
poison unit of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to 
Animals in Urbana, Illinois, gathered information on eight dogs 
treated between 2003 and 2005 after eating products containing 
xylitol.

Each dog became ill, and five died or had to be put down because of 
liver failure, possibly from ingesting xylitol.

One dog who had to be euthanized had eaten four large, chocolate-
frosted muffins containing about 1 pound (0.45 kg) of xylitol.

"People don't think sugar-free gum can kill their dog. I didn't 
before I got into this. But this is something people should be aware 
of," Gwaltney-Brant, who co-authored the study with Dunayer, said in 
a statement.

Gwaltney-Brant said for dogs, ingesting even a small amount of 
xylitol can trigger significant insulin release, which drops their 
blood sugar and can be fatal.

"A 22-pound (10-kg) dog who consumes one gram (0.03 ounces) of 
xylitol should be treated," she said, adding that further studies 
were needed to definitely establish a cause-and-effect relationship.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Daddy's Girl Lacy

On Nov 5, 2005 we got Lacy from Tara House a rescue group in Maryland. We always had a dog in our house till I moved out. Lacy come to us from NC where she was going to be put down if Tara House did not step in and rescue a few dogs. Lacy is a 1 yr old Lab Whippet mix. Lacy loves to be petted and give kisses. Lacy was house trained. We take Lacy to the Dog Park to run and meet other dogs. Lacy was attacked in the dog park by a Rottweiler the owners did nothing to stop the fight, I steped in and got Lacy out of harms way. Ever since then Lacy and I have bounded. When I take Lacy out in the morning before I leave for work, Lacy will be in my bed waiting for me to come out of the bathroom. Then I take sometime to rub and play with her. When I came home at night, she is waiting at the door with her tail wagging. I guess I never had a dog of my own till Lacy. Lacy will always be in my heart and soul. She is something special to us and always will be. All my love your Mom &D ad.]]></content:encoded>

Reluctance to cook
Reluctance to perform housework
Reluctance to wear anything but jeans or sweats
Reluctance to work except in support of a dog
Physical craving for contact with dogs (may be an addiction)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ To my dog loving friends....


  

Dog peeves about humans
 
1. Passing gas and blaming it on me... not funny... not funny at all !!!

2. Yelling at me for barking... I'M A DOG, YOU NUMBSKULL!

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly
whose  walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose... stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew
your  stuff up when you're not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog!
Woooo-Hooooooo!  Oh, what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I 
freak out every time we go back!

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I 
haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9. Dog sweaters. Hello???  Haven't you noticed the fur?

10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the
truth,  you're just jealous.

Now lay off me on some of these things, We both know who's boss here (you 
don't see me picking up your poop, do you?).]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Best Friends Weekend: June 23 â 25, 2006
All across America, thousands of people will commit
acts of kindness toward animals during this yearâs
Best Friends Day and Best Friends Weekend. United in
their determination to make the world a better place,
they will show their cities and towns and communities
how these acts of kindness to animals can make a
difference.

Ninety-six percent of Americans now say that animals should never be abused. Could we be at a classic
tipping point? 

Animals are our best friends, and 89 percent of Americans believe we have a moral obligation to
protect them. Even more â 96 percent â say that animals should never be abused.]]></content:encoded>
