I had to give her to my ex-wife because I could not bring her to my new apartment. She was very happy there, she was with another English Bull Terrier a Chocolate Lab and a pocket dog of my Daughter's. She was 14 years, 4 months and 6 days old.

Yesterday morning about 4 AM she woke the house up screaming and twitching violently. They gave her a Valium but she wasn't doing well, and she couldn't walk. She had a lot of hemorrhaging in her eyes. When my Daughter took her to the Vet, (the one that screwed up on returning my other dog's ashes to me, who really is a good vet) they were positive she was having strokes and she was suffering.

For her sake, she was put to sleep yesterday morning. I sit here crying my eyes out because I was not with her when she passed. She was a wonderful dog, and I will miss her terribly.

Corey moved in with my ex, but it' OK because she also has a cool English bullie. Named Jake.

This is Corey:

This is Jake:


They got along immediately when I brought her over yesterday. Jake got attached to her instantly, and actually slept on her bed with her last night.

Picasso I gave back to the wonderful people I adopted him from. He will be fostered until they either find a new home for him or I can find a way to bring him into my new apartment. It was very difficult giving him up. He was my bud, and one of the smartest cats I ever shared my home with.



I will miss them both terribly.

I can only take one (it will be Cokie, I have had her since she was 4 months old).


So I have to give up Picasso, who I adopted 2+ years ago.





Corey will be staying with friends until I get settled in my new apartment (no more utilities except electric, no more lawn mowing, no more snow shoveling, no more fixing things that broke because the landlord is a scumbag). I can have her, but I think the immediate move will be too much for her so she will be with friends who also have an English Bull Terrier.



So if any of my New Jersey friends/members (I do have friends) here want to adopt a great cat, I would rather he go to one of you than have to go to the shelter. And he is a pisser. And a bud (he is laying next to me on my desk as I type this).

Worth remembering them all today. And who sent them to the war without end.

May this be the norm as we enter election season. God bless our men and women in the Armed Forces, may they come back to us safely. And may our Congress end this war before Booshe can start a new one.

Kennedy. And unfortunately, the chances of the tumor regrowing are good. Knowing what Ted Kennedy will go through in the future, and knowing I too will require radiation treatments this year to (hopefully) stop the growth of my tumor, I can't tell you how saddened I am to hear his is malignant. My prayers, best wishes and hopes go out for him and the entire Kennedy family. He has been and always will be one of my heroes, and his time on Earth will be remembered as one of great accomplishment.

Good luck Senator Kennedy.

We'll call him "Bud". He joined the National guard last year because he felt he needed to do something for the community at large, and he also got conned by a recruiter (IMHO). But the other day, they told him next month he is shipping out and his "mission" will be to protect contractors who are rebuilding the Iraqi infrastructure.

The problem is, where he is going is only a few miles from the Iranian border. Neither he nor I believe he will be protecting "contractors". What is worse is his Mom is fighting lung cancer, so the stress on both of them is unfathomable.

Why must this misAdministration continue to lie to the American public, and send it's children to protect it's financial interests and not the interests of it's Citizens.


For those of you who believe in Prayer, please say one for my friend and her son, and the rest, please try and send good vibes that he may return safely.

They sell the most technologically advanced products (next to aircraft) in the world, and this is what the industry boils down to.



i·ro·ny

the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.


PS

it has something to do with the "verbiage"

He crossed the Rainbow bridge December 27th last year. I miss him every day. He was my bud for over 13 years. When you live alone, it hurts so much to lose such a close friend. My other silly dog (14 years old March 9th) doesn't make up for his loss. Even though she looks like a three year old in a clown suit.


I still miss him terribly.

I shop at a small local NJ/Eastern PA/NY boroughs grocery chain called Foodtown when I can't get what I want from Target. Small stores, real friendly. They stress paper bags and cloth sacks. I bought a couple, $.99 cents each. I cannot believe how much I put in just two.

And it felt good not to stuff more plastic bags in a plastic bag to return for recycling.

One small step.

How did we get here



And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
