Link here.  The first question I have:  Why in the hell would you take a dog up on that kind of terrain?  Second question is why didn’t you mount the same efforts to save her as the complete strangers did?

Of course, I’m for the people who saved her to get to keep her.  The original owner lost is claim on her when he abandoned her.  You’re done.

The local case here of the soulless creep who allegedly threw a kitten in a fire was back in the news–he is claiming that he *might have bumped* the kitten into the fire while he burned pictures of his now ex-girlfriend….um-hmmm.

And when the reporters told the story, it led one to believe that the kitten perished.  It’s still alive and people have called in wanting to adopt it.  If they don’t get this particular kitten, they should get their butts over to the humane society shelter and adopt a pet from there.  Two of the best pets I’ve ever had came from animal shelters.

…and if one goes to a shelter (or anywhere to get a pet)  let the animal *choose* you…you’ll know what I mean with their body language–they’ll move in towards you, their eyes will brighten up, their tails will be wagging (dogs), or if it’s a cat, it will make its feelings known like my kitty Sammy did–she rubbed up against the cage as if she were rubbing against my leg….these two were the best pets because they chose.  I didn’t know what it meant at the time, as I wasn’t where I’m at now in understanding, but now I get it.

More animal stuff–

Remember that cool picture I linked to recently with the lion and porcupine? I thought that the porcupines were holding their ground….

…yeah, well, things weren’t quite as they appeared.

My kids used to have a subscription to National Geographic for Kids.  I saved a few issues and found this same picture in it.  The caption had three questions of what was happening.  One of them asked if the lion flipped the porcupine over and pounced.  With a feeling of dread, I looked at the answer…yep…the lion flipped the porcupine over….<sigh>
