Dear God, When we get to Heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or will it be the same old story?
Dear God, Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the Jaguar, the Cougar, the Mustang, the Colt, the Stingray, and the Rabbit, but not one named for a DOG? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! I know every breed cannot have its own model, but it would be easy to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle!
Dear God, If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a BAD DOG?
Dear God, Is it true that in Heaven, dining room tables have on-ramps?
Dear God, If we come back as humans, is that good or bad?
Dear God, More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God, When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
Dear God, We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God, Are there dogs on other planets or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the BEAGLE across the street!
Dear God, Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God, Is it true that dogs are not allowed in restaurants because we can't make up our minds what NOT to order? Or is it the "CARPETS" thingy, again?
Dear God, May I have my testicles back?
Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love.
The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly.
To start with, he had only one eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot has appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.
His tail has long since been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!!"
All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come running meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbors huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.
Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. I must be hurting him terribly I thought. Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear- Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.
At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful.
He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.
Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be Ugly.

DOGS are more likely to lap up a puddle spilled on a garage floor, and CATS are poisoned more quickly because their metabolism is faster. If you see your PET ingest some ANTIFREEZE, get it to a Veterinarian QUICKLY! Within one hour, the poison can damage the animals internal system and emergency treatment is vital. If you do not see your pet ingest the ANTIFREEZE, and the animal suddenly begins to lose muscle control, vomits, drinks and/or urinates to excess, or behaves abnormally, it may be a sign of ANTIFREEZE POISONING!
Treatment of ANTIFREEZE POISONING involves *fluid therapy* to reverse dehydration and to slow the animals metabolic conversion of the poison.
And antidote, 4-METHYL-PYRAZOLE, may *help* save dogs, but 80% of the Animals that INGEST ANTIFREEZE *WILL DIE*, unfortunately:(!!
Since you never know when an accident will happen, keeping a ABP!ET EMERGENCY KIT at your home or in your car is a good idea. It only needs to contain a few simple things. You can buy the items separately and put it together yourself.
The following items comprise a complete list:
*Your VETS phone number and your local or NATIONAL POISON CONTROL TELEPHONE NUMBER... (1-800-548-2423 is the ASPCA NATIONAL ANIMAL POISON CONTROL CENTER).
*Appropriate sized muzzles (animals in pain may lash out--even at their owners).
*Bandage materials (sterile guaze, non-stick bandages, adhesive bandage tape, vet-wrap).
*Isopropyl rubbing alcohol
*Hydrogen peroxide for cleaning out wounds and in case you need to make your pet vomit.
*Activated charcoal to absorb ingested poisons (make sure you consult with a vet before using).
*A blanket or sheet for transporting (can also be used as a carry for large dogs).
*Nylon slip leash (easy to get on and off).
*Clean towel or rag.
*A blanket or lightweight thermal blanket (bought at a pharmacy) to warm an animal in shock.
*Oral syringe or eye dropper to dispense oral medications.
*Sterile saline solutions or eye wash and sterile eye lubricant for eye injuries.
*Styptic pads (like CutStop) *Hemostats or tweezers
*Rectal thermometer
*Pet Pectate or similar product used to treat minor diarrea
*325 mg of canine or buffered aspirin (for dogs only)
*25 mg of Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) for allergic reactions to sting bites (consult your vet before using)
*Stop Itch (or similar product for insect bites
*Triple antibiotic ointment for minor cuts and scrapes
*Cold pack for swelling
*Scissors or knife
While you're not using this kit all the time, some items have expiration dates so be sure and watch for this and replace as needed. Have a safe and fun Summer!!!:-)
KOI*BOI barky'n here!
Stay tuned because our good friend and "Slave" to the Tiels...Boris & Natasha...will be furnishing us all with some very important and vital info about this disease shortly!
In fact, *Slave*:) Jackie J. advised us that research suggests the possibility of *inherited glaucoma in some U.S. and British lines of the following ABD! Breeds:
Alaskan Malamute, Akita, Basset Hound, Beagle, Bouvier des Flandres, Brittany, Chow Chow, Great Dane, Miniature and Toy Poodles, Norwegian Elkhound, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Retrievers (Golden, Flat-Coated), Samoyed, Shar Pei, Siberian Husky, Spaniels (Cocker, English Cocker,Welsh Springer), Terriers (Sealyham, Smooth Fox, Standard Manchester, Welsh, Wire Fox, perhaps other.) and Welsh Corgi...
Leash: A strap that attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your owner where you want him or her to go.
Dog Bed: Any soft, clean surface, such as a white bedspread or newly upholstered couch.
Drool: What you do when your owners have food and you don't. To do this properly, sit as close as you can, look sad and let the drool fall to the floor or better yet on their laps.
Sniff: A social custom to use when you greet other dogs.
Garbage Can: A container your neighboors put out weekly to test your ingenuity. Stand on your hind legs and push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right, you are rewarded with food wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.
Bicycles: Two-wheeled exercise machines, invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, barking loudly and running alongside for a few yards. The rider swerves and falls into the bushes, and you prance away.
Thunder: A signal the world is coming to an end. Humans remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling, panting, rolling your eyes wildly and following at their heels.
Wastebasket: A dog toy filled with paper, envelopes and old candy wrappers. When you get bored, turn over the basket and strew the papers all over the house.
Sofas: Are to dogs like napkins are to people. After eating it is polite to run up and down the front of the sofa and wipe your whiskers clean.
Bath: A process owners use to clean you, drench the floor, walls and themselves. You can help by shaking vigorously and frequently.
Lean: Every good dog's response to the command "Sit!," especially if your owner is dressed for an evening out. Incredibly effective before black tie events.
Love: A feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction, shared by you and your owner. Show it by wagging your tail.:0)

Thanks JACKIE J. for contributing these tidbits from "A Dog's Dictionary":0),:0)!
Think back to the last evening you came home depressed, tense, or just tired after a long, troubling day. Very likely, the one bright spot in that bad day came when you were "welcomed", warmly, at the front door by your tail-wagging DOG (or other PET). The unconditional and consistent affection from your PETS is one thing you can count on:).
When an affectionate greeting from your DOG at the end of a hard day seems to lift your spirits and ease tensions it's not just your "imagination." Your PET can be good for you...both mentally and physically.
ENTERTAINMENT: Pets entertain you and keep you busy when you're lonely. They provide one of the most universal ways of eliciting smiles. (You DO KNOW that a DOG *smiles* with its TAIL, right:0?)
CONSISTENCY: A DOG (PET) can pull you through life's "rough spots" with his/her unquestioning loyalty, consistent affection, and non-judgmental behavior. A PET does NOT CARE about your Religion, Money, Race, or Appearance.
STABILITY: As our society becomes more mobile and people move away from their traditional support groups of family and friends, PETS have assumed a *new* importance. They provide reliability and steady companship in an uncertain world. Even if everything else around you changes, your PETS are "STILL THERE":)!
EMOTIONAL OUTLET & STRESS REDUCTION: A DOG (PET) can lend an "uncritical ear" or a "supportive shoulder" on which to cry. When people speak to animals, their blood pressure DROPS... momentarily; when they converse with other humans, it RISES...again! Also, when people talk to animals, they tend to PET or STROKE them at the same time, which leads to further relaxation.
SOCIABILITY: Dogs (Pets) do more than serve as companions, they can sometimes HELP their owners meet "new human friends" as well. Pets act as an irresistble "third party", encouraging conversation and bringing people together. (Even in Cyberspace:0)!
Our PLAYFUL ABD! PEKINGESE CHANGIE KOI*BOI pictured above, as well as TISHNA & MS. SCARLETT, has done all of these marvelous things for us ten-fold:0)! We LOVE YOU, YOU *3* PAMPERED PEKES..wink!
The neighbor said, "Who do you think you're kidding with this talking dog stuff? There ain't no such animal."
Suddenly the dog looked up with tears in his eyes. "Please buy me, sir," he pleaded. "This man is *cruel*. He NEVER buys me a meal, NEVER bathes me, NEVER takes me for a walk. And I used to be the RICHEST TRICK DOG in AMERICA. I performed before KINGS. I was in the ARMY and was *decorated* TEN TIMES."
"Hey!" said the neighbor. "He can talk. Why do you want to sell him for just *FIVE DOLLARS?"
"Because," said the seller, "I'm getting tired of all his LIES:0(."
GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?
BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
DACHSHUND: I can't reach the stupid lamp!
TOY POODLE: I'll just blow in the BORDER COLLIE'S ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
ROTWEILER: Go Ahead! Make me!
SHIH TZU: Puh-leeze, dah-ling. Let the servants. . .
LAB: Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I?
MALAMUTE: Let the BORDER COLLIE do it. You can feed me while he's busy.
COCKER SPANIEL: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
DOBERMANN: "While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch."
MASTIFF: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.
HOUND DOG: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
CHIHUAJUA: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
IRISH WOLFHOUND: Can somebody else do it? I've got a hangover.
POINTER: I see it, there it is, right there...
GREYHOUND: It isn't moving. Who cares?
AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD: Put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
OLD ENGLISH SHEEP DOG: Light bulb? Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?
PEKINGESE: What a silly*dilly an *UNROYAL* thingy to doo doo, snortie, stompy:)!
