Oh, Mr. Vick, I can't imagine why
you would cause dogs to suffer and die!
Oh, Mr. Vick, hope to live long
At the end of the road, may you face all your wrongs
Sadly, there's surely more just like you
People who think us dogs are just tools
Maybe someday when it's your time to die
You'll have to look each of those dogs in the eye
Your fate will be to understand what you've done
And each dog will come forward one by one
You'll see in each eye what distress you created
and, perhaps, you'll see your life here was wasted
So, Mr. Vick, enjoy your earthly delights
Enjoy your money, your fame, your name in big lights
For someday you may find at the end of your time
That the universe serves justice that does fit the crime

Grandma and Grandpa are leaving from Southern California today. They are some of my favorite earthly people!
Their dog, Rowdy, came to join me at the Rainbow Bridge a few months back. We were very close in age, I was a few earthly months older than him. We knew each other as pups and I was probably his only doggy furiend there on earth. We both had some socialization issues:( Now we both have lots of Rainbow furiends!
Anywoofs, I was an indoor/outdoor dog in my earthly days, meaning while the peoples were home I could go in and out whenever I wanted. Mostly I preferred to be outside, though. This kind of hurt Mother's feelings, but hey, when you've got a chow's coat it gets pretty hot! But when the grandparents came I would choose to hang indoors and socialize with them! They were some of very few people I did that for!
Safe journeys Grandma and Grandpa! Pepper is waiting for you in the Santa Cruz Mountains and, boy, will she be happy when you arrive!

Humom thought the following was clever so she asked me to help her remember it by putting it in my diary. Humom is rather easily impressed if you ask me, but here goes:
Nothing is impossible; the word itself says, 'I'm possible'!

I was close to one year old when the kid came home. He was a little pink lumpy thing. I say, I did not know what to make of him at first. I was a little afraid, actually. But I soon figured out he was relatively harmless. There are a few sweet pictures of us together, the old fashioned film kind. The folks did not have a digital camera back then. Maybe one day the humom can be roused into scanning and posting them. Woofs, lots have changed in over 14 years!
I learned I was now second fiddle with the kid around. But that was ok by me. I was a very independant girl. As long as I got my walks life was good. And walk we did, now with a stroller in tow or sometimes the kid in a sling.
The kid grew rather slowly (compared to me). He never really got the hang of crawling. Did kind of an army crawl with just his arms. Seemed to me it took furever fur him to finally start walking!
But walk he did and soon he went off to school. He did preschool then started kindergarden. I was there fur all of his elementary years. Other kids sometimes came over to play. Then the scouts started having meetings at our house. These times were a bit hard fur me. I was not into visitors.
He would take walks with me and the humom. Sometimes he would try to climb the little cliffs along the side of the road. I thought this was a bit silly. But we would wait and watch and hope he does not fall and break his neck. Thank goodness he never did!
He was in his first year at middle school when I had to start watching from a far. He was 11 and I was 12. He has grown tall and strong and his voice has changed. He had braces put on his teeth and taken off during his middle school years. Three short years go by so fast!
Yesterday there was a big gathering in the little valley that holds my earthly home. The folks went and the kid did too. They were dressed a little nicer than usual. There was some singing, some talking, some awards handed out. The kid got his certificate. He graduated from middle school! High school, here he comes!

Being half Australian shepherd I am glad sheep are welcome at the Rainbow Bridge! This story is from the BBC website but it is being carried on many others as well. Shrek was not an ordinary following sheep!
Shrek the New Zealand sheep, whose ability to avoid the shearers made him a national celebrity, has died.
Shrek came to prominence in 2004 after evading capture for six years by hiding in caves on the South Island.
The cunning Merino lost his giant 27kg (60lb) fleece in a televised shearing.
The 16-year-old sheep had a high-profile career. He met then Prime Minister Helen Clark, became the subject of several children's books and made regular charity appearances.
Shrek's owner, John Perriam, of Bendigo Hill station, said the famous sheep had to be put down over the weekend because of age-related illnesses.
"He was just an ordinary sheep, went awol and hid, and when he was found he became the darling of the nation," Mr Perriam told local broadcaster TVNZ.
"He had an unbelievable personality. He loved children and he was really good with the elderly in retirement homes."
Shrek's giant fleece - enough to make 20 large men's suits - was auctioned off in 2004 for children's medical charities.
Josie Spillane of Cure Kids said over the years Shrek had raised more than $150,000 (£75,000) for the charity, which funded research into life-threatening illnesses.
"At the end of the day, it is the death of an iconic Kiwi. He just happens to be a sheep," she told the Southland Times.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

Miss Dayzee posted this in the Dayzee Support group mail. Just thought it was pretty and worth passing along. After all, it's not good to stay "mad" for long!

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings
lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others,
including love.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve
the island paradise until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was
time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked,
"Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and
gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a
beautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will
damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness, please
let me go with you." Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I
just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, " Happiness, please
take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he
didn't hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love,
I will take you with me." It was an elder.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the
elder his name.
When they arrived on land the elder went on his way.
Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked,
"Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.
Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

WHO does these things! And WHY!
Humans, I just don't understand sometimes:(
Rainbow howls,
Jamaica
By: Megan Gibson
A stray dog in Malta proved that she had the heart of a champion, when police officers discovered her buried in sand up to her face, her legs and snout bound, and suffering from pellet gun shot wounds to the head. Despite the horrible abuse (she had more than 40 pellet gun bullets removed from her skull), the dog, named "Star" by her rescuers, has managed to pull through.
Naturally, the citizens of Malta are horrified by this story and are demanding that animal abuse be met with harsher penalties. Under the current law, those convicted of animal cruelty could face a one-year maximum term in prison.
And because Star was a stray, there are few leads on who her tormenter was, though Facebook pages have sprung up to help with the investigation.

After 100-Hour Rescue Mission, Dog Freed from Boulder in Australia
By: Tara Kelly
How far would you go to save the life of your pet? It was a question that dog lover Steve Porter faced after his beloved Jack Russell Terrier got trapped under 45 tons of rock 12 feet below.
The four-year-old dog named Jessie chased a feral cat between two boulders during a rabbit-hunting expedition with Porter in the Australian outback. Only able to move his head, the dog managed to survive on tiny pieces of liver fed to him via a wire.
Meanwhile, Porter embarked on a serious rescue mission costing a hefty $2,100. In the end, it took a hydraulic ram capable of moving 95 tons of rock and 100 hours of digging to free the terrified pooch. The boulder budged, "millimeter by millimeter," until Jessie was finally freed and lifted to safety using a dog-catching hoop. When the dog was finally rescued, Jessie jumped into Porter's arms and gave him a big lick.
NewsFeed wonders what ever happened to that feral cat. (via Gawker)
