Coastline,
As you probably know this pet poisoning case just seems to keep spreading. About 2000 dogs and 2000 cats reportedly (I don't know if that means it has been tested) dead from the poisonous food.

I am terrified that my cat will die soon, he is quite old and I am at uni most of the time so I do not get to see him often. I feel for all that have lost a pet......must be horrible.

A lot of animals get dropped off near to where i live. This past weekend someone left a dog that was starved so much that you could see most of her skeleton sticking out.
She's staying with me now until i can get a home for her.
Dogs have been stolen from my locality too in the past.

My family recently decided that we've mourned our old dog long enough, and that we should get a new one. So we went to the Denver Dumb Friends League and picked up one two today. All's well in the world again now. Here are Remy and Touly:

My parent's cat Nicki ( short for Nicodemus ) was killed by a coyote last summer. It was sad enough, but it was also extra sad because I thought about how one of my brother's friends had given him Nicki when we were in high school, before we coyuld even drive, I think.
It might sound stupid, but it was like a bridge to a whole other era was gone. When we got Nicki we were all still living at home, together as a family and now we're adults out on our own.

Good for you for getting two shelter animals, coastline, but is it really called the Dumb Friends League?
jimmy, that doesn't sound stupid. That makes perfect sense. A friend is blowing off tomorrow's highly anticipated (in my house) Rachid Taha because his dog of 20 years died today. Twenty years. That's about the only reason I would miss that show.
I got some heaven in my head

What a year. First, our dog, and now one of our cats. Just found Lily dead this morning. Haven't broke it to the kids yet. The older one is gonna be devastated. Life's a bitch sometimes. Has anyone mentioned that? Here's one of my favorite pix ever, of both the dog and the cat that we've lost this year:

Capy was part Australian shepherd, part something nasty -- like a doberman or a rottweiler. And maybe part blue heeler. Despite the mix, she was a hell of a dog. Losing her was tough. I feel guilty for saying this, but losing the cat hasn't been as big a blow. But then we'd had her just a year and she wasn't our only cat.

WHICH GOD DID I OFFEND? We came home today to find that one of our new dogs (see above) killed one of our two remaining cats (see below -- the white one). Not sure what else to say. This has to be the worst pet year of my life. My little boys are beginning to think their furry loved ones are supposed to die regularly.
We took the dogs back to the pound. So now we're down to one cat (the fat, striped one below) and no dogs.
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

whoah, i'm sorry you and your kids have to go through all this misfortune
usually, when you bring a puppy into a home with "indigenous" cats, they can sense the puppie's immaturity and house rules are quickly established and last even into the dog's adulthood. it's different with adult dogs, they may have their own ideas already. another thing with dogs is the pack factor. when there's more than one, the packing instincts set in, making them surprisingly more daring and prone to doing things they otherwise never would. the human family makes for a pack surrogate and the dog follows their set of rules if he is convinced they are the most capable in the pack to lead it. if there are more dogs living together and if they have strong personalities, it makes it harder to convince them so. sorry for this blab, coastline, just some things that popped into my head about some dog incidents around where i live, not trying to compare to your situation.

Speaking of death of a pet....I wish my roommate's dog, Dusty, would die. She's 8 years old ( Dusty ), so old age isn't gonna get her too soon.
She got sprayed by a skunk the other night because she's retarded, so now I'm laying out bowls of coffee grounds and bowls of vinegar around the house and burning candles.
I hate dogs anyway. They need too much attention & care. Cats are much better.
