Pets Stories
Dear Dogs and Cats,
When I say to move, it means go
someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still
two of you in the way. The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain
your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note -
placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a
claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically
pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is
not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me
doesn't help, because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything
larger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I
will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos
of dogs and cats sleeping. They can actually curl up in a ball. It is not
necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest
extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having
tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but
sarcasm. For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom.
If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it
is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob or get your paw under
the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit trough the same door
I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years; canine or
feline attendance is not mandatory. The proper order is to kiss me, then
go smell the other dog's or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough. It
would be such a simple change for you.
Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit
and Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair
on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
3. I like my pet better than I
like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me,
she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and
doesn't speak clearly.
5. Dogs and cats are better than
kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train,
usually come when called never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using
friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about buying the latest fashions,
don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and
if they get pregnant, you can sell the results.
Thank you
Where do pets come from? ??????
A newly discovered chapter in the
Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?" Adam
and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every
day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult
for us to remember how much you love us." And God said, "No problem! I will
create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be
a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you
cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may
be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I
do, in spite of yourselves." And God created a new animal to be a companion
for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the
new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And
Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and
I cannot think of a name for this new animal." And God said, "No problem.
Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for
you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him
DOG." And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved
them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content
and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to
the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They
strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well." And
God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with
them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind
them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy
of adoration." And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And
Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they
were reminded that they were not the supreme being And Adam and Eve learned
humility. And they were greatly improved. And God was pleased. And Dog was
happy. And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other.

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY:
Day 183 of My Captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little
dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to
eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape,
and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors
by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must
try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse
these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite
chair, must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them
the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable
of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended
about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary
confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell
the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to my
power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog
is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously
a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, he
speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to
his current placement in the high metal room, his safety is assured. But
I can wait, it is only a matter of time ....

More animal stories
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously
for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided
the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just
wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to
come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt
into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads
later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing
something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's
neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake
it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off! Life is going
to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the
well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five
simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart
from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind
from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and
appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less NOW
-------- Enough of that crap . .
The donkey later
came back and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the
bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
MORAL FROM TODAY'S
LESSON:
When you do something
wrong and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

This is a
true story, indicating how fascinating the mind of a six-year old is. They
think so logically.
A teacher was
reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class.
She came to
the part of the story where the first pig was trying to gather the building
materials for his home.
She read,
"and so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and
said: 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?"
The teacher
paused...., then asked the class: "And what do you think the man said?"
wait for it!
.............
One little
boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly
"I think the
man would have said: "Well, f**k me! A talking pig!"
The teacher
was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes

Hi Donna, while visiting your page
page today I looked through it all with a fine tooth comb and started remembering
when I first met you on a drug site help page before you started your own.
My brother was then using drugs due to his mental illness issues and suffering
is not the word we as a family and he has a victim have and are still are
going through, without your help and friendship I don't think I would have
gotten this far in understanding, own sanity survival or been strong enough
to help my brother and mum along the way. I remember when you started your
web site and I wrote you a letter to support you in reasons why this site
should be given support and money to go on the net, now I look at your site
and you only have to look about it for a few minutes to see just why this
site should and is here today. You have put more than hard work into this
site you have put in your life, love, pain and respect for others, the beautiful
pictures on your site of the angels are lovely to see but you are the true
angel of this site. Jesse lives on in your work and you have certainly done
him proud, a mum in a million, a friend no one could replace. you are on the
other side of the world to me and yet you have been here for me more than
some friends who live down the road you have never lectured advice but instead
listened understood and been the best friend ever with honesty care and love
thank you for everything I hope we stay friends forever and always

Donna, you have
obviously worked very, very hard to make people aware and to provide whatever
support you can. I spent a long time this afternoon working on this stationary
e-mail for you, trying to make it just right. But it is nothing compared to
how hard you have worked. As I worked on this picture, I admit that I thought
a lot about what a waste this was. Your son was very handsome and from what
I've read on your site, he was a wonderful person. What I've come to realize
today is that although it is a horrible tragedy and seems a waste in one sense--your
son is still doing wonderful things. You and Jesse are doing wonderful things
to try to help others. I admire the strength that you have to do this. Although
I am sure there are many times when you do not feel strong at all, you continue
to share your support with others.
Now I've probably
upset you again, but I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. You just
remember to take care of yourself while you are doing your best to take care
of others.

NOMINEE
No.1:[San Jose Mercury News] An unidentified man, using a shotgun like
a club to break a former girlfriend's windshield, accidentally shot himself
to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in his gut.
NOMINEE No. 2: [Kalamazoo Gazette] James Burns, 34, (a mechanic) of Alamo,
Mich. was killed in March as he was trying to repair what police describe
as a "farm-type truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway
while Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a troubling
noise. Burns' clothes caught on something, however, and the other man found
Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft."
NOMINEE No. 3: [Hickory Daily Record] Ken Charles Barger, 47, accidentally
shot himself to death in December in Newton, N.C. Awakening to the sound of
a ringing telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed instead
a Smith &Wesson .38 Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.
NOMINEE No. 4: [UPI,Toronto] Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety
of windows in a downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his
shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death. A police spokesman said Garry
Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early
Friday evening as he was explaining the strength of the building's windows
to visiting law students. Hoy previously had conducted demonstrations of window
strength according to police reports. Peter Lawyers, managing partner of the
firm Holden Day Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was one of
the "best and brightest" members of the 200-man association.
NOMINEE No. 5: [Bloomberg News Service] A terrible diet and a room with
no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by his
own gas. There was no mark on his body but an autopsy showed large amounts
of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and
cabbage (and a couple of other things). It was just the right combination
of foods. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous
cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had he been outside or had his windows
been opened, it wouldn't have been fatal. But the man was shut up in his near-airtight
bedroom. According to the article, "He was a big man with a huge capacity
for creating "this deadly gas." Three of the rescuers got sick and one was
hospitalized.
NOMINEE No. 6: ["News of the Weird"] Michael Anderson Godwin made News
of the Weird posthumously. He had spent several years awaiting South Carolina's
electric chair on a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to
life in prison. While sitting on a metal toilet in his cell and attempting
to fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted.
NOMINEE No. 7: ["The Indianapolis Star"]. A cigarette lighter may have
triggered a fatal explosion in Dunkirk, Indiana. A Jay County man using a
cigarette lighter to check the barrel of a muzzleloader was killed Monday
night when the weapon discharged in his face, sheriff's investigators said.
Gregory David Pryor, 19, died in his parents' rural Dunkirk home about 11:30
p.m. Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a 54-caliber muzzleloader that
had not been firing properly. He was using the lighter to look into the barrel
when the gunpowder ignited.
NOMINEE No. 8: [Reuters, Mississauga, Ontario] A man cleaning a bird feeder
on the balcony of his condominium apartment in this Toronto suburb slipped
and fell 23 stories to his death. Stefan Macko, 55, was standing on a wheeled
chair when the accident occurred, said Inspector D'Arcy Honer of the Peel
Regional police. "It appears the chair moved and he went over the balcony,"
Honer said.
AND FINALLY, AN HONORABLE MENTION : [Arkansas Democrat Gazette] Two local
men were seriously injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck
a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday morning. Woodruff
County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday.
Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock are
listed in serious condition at Baptist Medical Center. The accident occurred
as the men were returning from a frog-gigging trip. On an overcast Sunday
night, Poole 's pick-up truck's headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded
that the headlight fuse on the older model truck had burned out. As a replacement
fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the 22 caliber ammunition from
his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering wheel column.
After inserting the bullet, the headlights again began to operate properly
and the two men proceeded toward the White River Bridge. After traveling about
20 miles and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated,
discharged and struck Poole in the right testicle. The vehicle swerved sharply
right exiting the pavement and striking a tree. Poole suffered only minor
cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will require surgery to repair the
other wound. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released.
"Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off or we
might both be dead" stated Wallis. "I've been a trooper for ten years in this
part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those
two would admit how this accident happened," said Snyder. Upon being notified
of the wreck, Lavinia, Poole's wife, asked how many frogs the boys had caught
and did anyone get them from the truck. (Way to go, Lavinia)
