I'll be darned. Which was the mother?


I have a friend who obtained a pit bull pup a few years ago. He raised the
dog properly, as a house pet, and the dog is a joy. He's fun to "rassle"
with, and never bites. I "met" another pit bull pup a few years ago, and
babysat him for a couple of hours. He was just fine, too.

I'd love to have a pet panther, though. A black one. Good golly, they are
gorgeous.

A friend of my son's has one, too. I won't go to the house without my little
friend, with a round in the chamber, but my son says the dog likes to pick
up the cat and put it on the couch for reasons nobody can figure out. It's a
male dog, but it picks up the cat like it was the cat's mommy. The cat
apparently can't figure it out, either, but it puts up with the strangeness.



I don't know why, but *all* dogs like me. I've never met a dog who
didn't come over for a sniff and a nuzzle, and that includes dogs who
are being walked down the road, leader dogs (who should know better),
and dogs in the vet's waiting room. With all our cats, you'd think my
permanent "cat person" smell would make them nervous, but, no.

Maybe it is because I am not afraid of animals. I am leery, though, of
the feral dogs out in the Shenandoah.

We have a close friend from Kenya who is here in the states studying for
her doctorate. We're planning to head over there for a long visit this
year or next, and a promised "real" safari (camera safari, of
course...no hunting in Kenya). I hope we run into about a kazillion
critters.

Could your friend in Kenya put us in touch with some honest folk in
Nigeria? Bassie and I have a lot of money coming in that we need to hide in
a friendly, honest, quiet, place.

All dogs like my vegetable garden, too. Note to self: Call town justice and
find out exactly what has to happen (now, since last update of the laws) in
order to have a stray dog sent to hell, no matter what its owner says, and
now matter how often its owner plays golf with the town justice.

Also sprach ancient angler. Your dog is mine. Off to the gas chamber with
you.

Here, a stray dog or cat can be taken to the animal shelter. The shelter
will want to know the street on which the animal was found. Very soon
(about two weeks, I think) it is no longer a stray.

So, do you prefer Hebrew National or Rossler dogs?*

*Rossler was the brand of hot dogs served at the famous and fabulous

When I ate hot dogs, it was Sabrett or Hebrew National. I wish you
had not mentioned that, now I want one.

What? You don't eat even Hebrew National hot dogs?

Jimmies of Savin Rock was *the* place to hang out in the summer from the
1950s to about the mid-1960s in southern Connecticut. Huge outdoor
restaurant, small indoor restaurant, fabulous food - dogs, clams,
lobster rolls, cherrystones, real fries, and Rossler franks. Everyone
would eat in their cars with the doors and windows open, listening to
the Clovers, the Del Vikings, the Elegants, the Penguins, the Drifters,
all the great Do Wop groups, and of course, our own local group, the
Five Satins.
Except for Healthy Choice products, I gave up all Sausage products / Hot
Dogs as a way to reduce fat intact.

Hebrew National 49grams
Total Fat 14g 20%
Saturated Fat 6g 30%
Cholesterol 30mg 10%

I still eat Healthy Choice Smoked Sausage mixed with beans, it is very
low in Fat and Saturated Fat.
51 grams of Smoked Sausage.
total Fat (2.5g) 4%
Saturated Fat (1g) 5%
Cholesterol (20mg) 7%

I still remember the flavor of a good hotdog, I just don't eat them.

The same with Pizza. I LOVED PIZZA, but I did not know how to eat a
slice. I would eat half a pizza. So today, I just don't eat pizza.

not everyone has the experience and skills i have earned and learned
over 50 years of learning about dogs, handling dogs of all sorts
including war dogs, training dogs and vetting dogs for various jobs
like guard, protection and potential placement for rescue
organizations. i started with german shepards when i was ten years
old and have progressed through a number of breeds and a lot of
owners. I learned from the masters including my uncle who was a noted
dog trainer and have taken any number of classes including the us air
force training school.


Ever worked with a Basset Hound? I've had four of them over the years, and
have found that they definitively have a mind of their own, and work mostly
at the instinctual level, which is typical of the hound group. But the
Basset is the epitome of stubbornness. The lights are on, but nobody's
home. On the other hand they are extremely loyal, gregarious, and quite
comical, which is what makes them such great pets.

Costco! The big HN's for $1.50, including a Coke. What a way to take the
wife out for dinner.

I heard she was a cheap date, but I had no idea...

nathans.

Unfortunately, the closest Nathan's to me is in the New York, New York hotel
in Las Vegas. They also have a Fulton's Fish Frye. Mmmmm. I'll be there
this weekend. Taking the wife there for Valentine's Day. Seeing the
Michael Bublé show at the Hilton. Now I guess I'm just gonna have to stop
by NYNY for lunch.

I'd love to have a pet panther, though. A black one. Good golly, they are
gorgeous.

Any of the large cats are just truly magnificent animals. Some of nature's
finest work, in my opinion.

My daughter has a Basset mix that is going on 15 years old now. Great dog,
who, when you say, "Jessie, smile", the dog curls her lips up on each corner
of her mouth in a big, wide grin. Comical as heck.

As I type this, my "pal", a now 11 month old black Lab, is laying upside
down on his favorite chair, snoring loud enough to shake the walls. When we
got him (my wife's idea), the breeder told me that a dog that sleeps on
his/her back is an indication of good temperament in the dog. Sam Adams
must be the most layed back dog ever, if this is true.

That's the pose. Sam has just decided that the floor is not good enough for
him, so he has commandeered a nice, wide leather chair in my study.
