Isn’t this funny guys?

I read today that Obbbbbama criticized former V.P. Cheney for
his views..(he denounced Obama’s security changes). Said Bush
only aggravated the world’s opinion of US by HIS policies.

Hmmmmmmm, we upset the world, which world, the world of Al Qaeda
supportive countries, like Syria, Iran, No. Korea, the former Iraq under
Saddam?

The Arabs think badly of US..well, maybe they should drink their oil,
rather than depending on our wealth to pay for their Sharia laws, arms
purchases, export of terrorism worldwide, and funding of mosques in the USA which regularly preach Jihad ( quietly of course).

Maybe someone should tell Obama that we freed 50m Muslims from
brutal dictatorships..costing over 1 trillion to date and over 4500 US lives and tens of thousands wounded.

Maybe someone should tell Obama and his advisers that HIS approach
has backfired already.

But, let’s talk, engage, push diplomacy…

I hear now that Obama will appoint another Arab lover to that intelligence
committee. Charles Freeman, blaming the Jew lobby, withdrew (he was
ambassador to the Saudi Arabia, with a definite pro-Arab, pro Chinese
bent.

We might have gone from the frying pan into the fire folks if
the rumor is true.

I have predicted for 2 years now, that by the end of 2009, Iran will
test an atomic device over Tel Aviv or Haifa..or New York.

Maybe Obama will be able to stop the above in time. Maybe?
Guess who will be part of the surrogate cell in New York..a released
GITMO prisoner. You can count on it.

Yeah, Eric, I figured you were an animal guy like Micky and I. I always believed that people who love animals are good people. Thanks for the advice to. Unfortunately, our local shelter has it’s hands full these days. The proper authorities have all been advised, but we haven’t heard anything back from them yet. The vets office has a back-line to the shelter (we can’t even get them on the horn), and even they can’t get through. I told the vets office to advise the shelter that if they’re too busy or full, we can hold the animal as long as they need. The vets office also advised them, as they will do, not to disclose us or where we’re keeping the dog. I want to avoid a confrontation if at all possible (I swear, I’ll lose it!).

There’s a wierd story here. When I first caught the pup, I checked it’s tags and called the numbers in. I was given the dog’s name. I asked my neighbors (those Cuban folks again - and yes, they are great people, and yes, they are very republican - but the kids are leaning more and more Democratic, mostly, I think, because they’re beginning to give up on returning to Cuba and becoming more and more “Americanized,” and they told me they did get very offended by some of the recent immigration debate) and they told me that a black dog of the same name lived in a house right up the street. So I went to the house and a very nice lady with kids greeted me and out of the house comes this little black poodle with the same name. Coincidence? I have no idea. I checked her tags against our dog’s and they don’t match. So maybe it is just a coincidence. To add to the wierdness, the vets office told me that the owner had requested new tags to replace the old ones as they were “missing” - but they’re NOT missing! They’re right on the dogs collar! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE??? I wonder if he dumped this dog and was trying to pull a switch.

It is tough, though, like Micky says. If the shelter says they have to return the dog to the owner, it will break my heart. I think I’ll follow your advice, Micky, on that one. I’ve done some recon before. I don’t mind the hassle. Anything to help this little girl pup. I’[ve got a good rapport with the vet involved. I’d bet I could get all the info I need from them on the downlow.

Thanks again guys, JMJ

Look, sounds like you’re doin fine. If you end up keeping her all you can do is the trial and tribulation thing seeing if it works.
My Dane and my Pug got along with my cat just fine as long as she stayed away from their food

Cats and dogs some times don’t mix very well, but with time and patience they can learn to peacfully co-exist. The wayward pup’s nervousness will subside when she gets used to her new environment. Give her lots of attention and consistant disipline. Lots of exercise will help to occupy her mind. If you turn her over to the shelter, I would check on her at times to see that she’s ok. Don’t fall in love with any on else while at the pound. It easy to do. Good luck!!

Anyway, my solution to most problems is to find experts, and do research. Yes, that is a platitude, but outside of the things I feel I know, I don’t even try to claim expertise.

Research the shelter to make sure they are reputable.

Just follow the law, even if the result sucks. I love animals and grew up with many of them, but do not let emotion trump your right to stay free yourself.

I hope it turns out ok.

As for Cuban-Americans, they are fabulous. They vote Republican, although that grip has weakened slightly only in the last 3-4 years. Also, Gloria Estefan is stunning.

Also, on a nice note, my absolutely wonderful Cuban neighbor (when I hear people call Cubans the “S” word, I really just want to punch those racists in the face) next door rescued two little squirrrel pups last week. She brought them over today for us to see and they’re just soooo adorable and tiny, like little blind midget monkeys. My faith in humanity both took a hit and a boost today. Makes ya’ wonder, huh?

Dick Gregory, 76, world famous activist, author, lecturer and comedian, appeared on the radio and television shows of Don Imus … this morning and made an historic announcement in connection with what he called “the inexcusable crisis of humanity in connection with the tragic state of the this country’s economy as a result of the past eight years of greed, arrogance and fear-mongering,” Gregory said.

Yep he won’t eat till it’s fixed.
