at 8:30 this morning someone was banging at our front door, figured it was jw's.. there stood a large man with a clip board and i thought to myself, are they still delivering the tracts?
i opened the door ready to give him hell.
low and behold its a county employee telling me a neighbor reported that one of my dogs was roaming loose yesterday.. my dogs have never been loose, don't sit outside barking and i keep the back yard as clean as possible so no odors are wafting about for my neighbors.
The rabies vaccination certificate applies to the specific DOG; not the current owner. It is the date of vaccination and duration of that particular vaccine type that matters the most.
Please, please DO NOT REVACCINATE YOUR DOG.
If it were me, I would go so far as to consult with a lawer. Your city/county boards are not licensed to practice medicine.
Just my $.02 worth...

i had to put my dog to sleep today.
she was 12 years old and got beyound help last night.
it was sad.. my daughter and the dog, coco.. ken p..
I'm so sorry about your loss of Coco.
What ever time our pets have with us is just never enough time. They just seem to make our lives more complete in so many ways.
a quote from Will Rogers; "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went."
If It Should Be
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
An pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
Would not want me to suffer so
When the time comes please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
Only, stay with me to the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will see
It is a kindness you do to me
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We've been so close we two these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
So I am glad, not that she's gone
But that this earth she roamed and lived upon
Was my earth, too, that I had closely known
And loved her and that my love I'd shown.
Tears over her departure?
Nay - a smile
That I had walked with her a little while.

Godspeed sweet Coco.
i always assume that people with real pics for their avatars are pics of that poster.
obviously that's not always the case.
i'm curious about whose pic is really them.
<------ Yep, that's me too.

this is the guy that sat on my razor blades the one time i was thinking of cutting myself... this is the guy that everytime my dad beat me, would come to my room and lay with me... this is the guy that one time jumped into the bathtub with me while i was crying after a brutal beating, the cat hated water... this is a cat that was more family to me than my own father and mother combined... this was my best friend... .
today i had to do the hardest thing i ever did, i had to choose to have him put down... and as he fought the vet, and tried to bite her, i put my hand on his head, and he stopped struggling... and as they put the last needle into his leg, he purred until he died... the vet says she has never seen that before... this was my best friend and i had to kill him... fuck, im a baby, but i miss him soooo much.
the infamous one.
Oh (((theinfamousone))) I am so sorry for your loss.
What a true, faithful, marvelous friend your cat was to you through all those years. What a special friend when you so needed a friend. How very many subtle life lessons he taught you about love and friendship.
There in no consolation really, for that will come later on when time brings the happier memories of your friend to your mind. Right now there is just raw grief and self imposed guilt and lonelyness and missing him. As his friend you did the most difficult and kindest thing for him that had to be done; you saved him from suffering and pain that would have been incurred in a battle that could not have been won. You were honored and privileged to have known him as your friend.

first things first
to all of those individuals that left a comment on my last.
thread "questions for those born or raised in the truth" there .
What 'nailed this coffin shut' for me was reading Ray Franz's book "Crisis of Conscience".
And that was after several years of being inactive; it eraced any doubts I might have had that the troof was really not the truth. That is when I began sening Christmas Cards and going to Memorial Day celebrations, and appreciating the fine people around me sharing their joys and sorrows, and at long last enjoying every day wholeheartedly for that day.

without attacking anyone for their beliefs, feel free to state what you believe in right now.. personally, i still believe in a higher power, a creator, call him jehovah if you wish, a god that will put things back right eventually.

1. The existence of a Supreme Being is unknown and unknowable.
To believe in the existence of a god is an act of faith. To believe in the nonexistence of a god is likewise an act of faith. There is no evidence that there is a Supreme Being nor is there evidence there is not a Supreme Being. Faith is not knowledge. We can only state with assurance that we do not know.
2. If there is a Supreme Being, then that being appears to act as if apathetic to events in our universe.
All events in our Universe, including its creation, can be explained with or without the existence of a Supreme Being. Thus, if there is indeed a God, then that god has had no more impact than no god at all. To all appearances, any purported Supreme Being is indifferent to our Universe and to its inhabitants.
3. We are apathetic to the existence or nonexistence of a Supreme Being.
If there is a God, and that God does not appear to care, then there is no reason to concern ourselves with whether or not a Supreme Being exists, nor should we have any interest in satisfying the purported needs of that Supreme Being.

does anyone else have a massive crush on tony stewart or is it just me?
i hope it is just me.
Good for you Moomin. That just goes to show that you have excellent taste in men and I am sure you are not the only one that really admires Tony Stewart. So nope, it's not just you.
Ok, he might be a bit 'pudgy' but a cute pudgy, and unshaven yet 'cleans up really well'. As for "bad tempered and immature" I do not think so; he just DOES NOT SUFFER FOOLS with condesention and graciousness as he has no time to suffer FOOLS and there are pleanty of fools in the media and NA$CAR.
Tony Stewart has excelled and earned Championships in EVERY form of auto racing that he has been in!
We have watched him race both NA$CAR Busch and Cup in person many times and the one that stands out in my mind is the '95 Busch race at Milwaukee, WI.
There was a white, unsponsored, #15 in that race that for various reasons came from the back to the top five twice. At that point I had to look in the field lineup who was in the #15 - Tony Stweart - never heard of him before because we had never paid attention to 'open wheel racing'. But he sure could handle the car and again had to come from the back to the front for a third time!! We were so impressed and entertained that we began to watch for him and became instant 'fan's of his.
i know that i am enjoying some of the things i would've gotten involved with had i not been raised in the "truth".
I can think of one example right here on this board; our own youthful, newly 'emancipated', dearly loved R*****R***.
He no longer has the time to entertain us with his humorous yet wise observations of the world around him and is evidently spending time and $ on tatoos. I hope it is a phase that will pass. I hope he recovers his humor and goodwill as time heals his grevious emotional wounds inflicted by the WTBTS through his Mom.
I miss him, think of him often, and wish him good health, happiness, and sucess.
Judy
