good dogs

Sharon Cobb sent me a link to this story about the Michael Vick dogs.

I bring you the information I want you to carry away with you:

Villages in Greece tend to be either dog villages or cat villages. While that doesn’t mean that you won’t find a cat or two in a dog village (or vice versa), it does mean that one or the other is obviously the dominant animal of that particular hamlet.

Dear Senator Kilby,

I am outraged to learn of your efforts to make it a crime for me to own my dog.  I’ve had her now for seven years and in that time, she’s bitten no one, attacked no one, and hardly ever even managed to annoy the cats.  She’s up-to-date on her shots and, though she often barks at red lights–which I take to mean she’d like me to run them–she’s shown no other propensity for law-breaking.

Hey, all, this girl was found under a deck Monday morning and the finder can’t keep her.  No kill shelters won’t take her, for obvious reasons, but she’s sweet and the finder would rather not put her in a shelter where she might be put down.

Anybody need a puppy?
