You eat dogs and cats?

Apes did a fine job of raising Tarzan.



If you read genesis man started out as vegan.

Something told me Piddler and SAC were as smart as a squid.

Yep. Some see themselves going to hell in a hsndbasket and want company.

Those i catch are so happy tbey wag their tails.

Yep.

I dont know about that. Let a buck get another one down....

The young male lions bite through the old males spine.

Male bears often kill the female guarding the young.

Coons kill each......, uh, nevermind.

The lion will lay down with the lamb.

Yep.

You guys should read "The Uplift Wars" series of sifi books.

Disguised as General Tso chicken.


Pretty darn good.

General Tso Chicken...one of my favorites with plenty of cayennes! 😋

Ate cougar. Both four and two legged.

I was thinking about how dumb New Agers were the other day. I keep hearing this term used and always by them in some stupid context. I looked it up under a few definitions and here's a typical example from Dictionary.com

"adjective
having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.
characterized by sensation and consciousness"

Of COURSE animals have emotions.
Of COURSE they have memories, perceptions and senses.
They experience sensation and are undou tedly conscious.
Even the dumb squirrels and ants prepare for the future .

Ever read a Bible or spend time outside as a child?
These are facts that a young child should know unless some uber "intelligent" philosophy professor has driven it from him.

You got that new dog Sam.
Gotta raise up your heart somewhat.
It was meant to be when he showed up.
What is his name? I have forgot.



They do somethings that mean I will see you on the other side for sure.
Mannerism,s and looks, little moments in time.

Cookie and Rico tore me up.
Cookie basically told me to let me go dad.
The night before I put him to sleep.
I seen a rabbit on a neighbors lawn .
Walked Cookie in the direction.
He seen it, got up to a trot, head down
Got about 10 ft from it before it bolted.
He barked at it 4 or 5 times .
Tail wagging, eyes full of life gave me a couple of kisses.
Showered praise on him.
That morning I could tell he was saying his goodbyes and see ya later dads too me.
Kisses and leaning on me.
Giving me long looks.


Rico was sandbagging his cancer for me and Cookies sake .
What Rico did hiding his condition until after Cookie died blew me away.
IMO he sacrificed himself for his human and his Alpha he looked up too and took care of when he took over the alpha role from Cookie
Rico gave me a 2 kisses in the end right before falling asleep from the sedation shot took hold before the final shot 10 mins later.
The last time Rico kissed me prior to that was the last time I came home from Romania in 2015.
He would always give me a kiss going and coming back from their.
Dogs know stuff...

Even my vet was crying about Rico and what he did.
Brave dog.
Selfless dog.

Both buried facing the North Star
Talk to em both everynight.

Damm eyes watering now....

14 month old baby huey blood hound weimarainer ( sp) mix
Smart dog.
Human centric hound full of happy go lucky energy.

Him and Blackjack are getting a flanking system down on squirrels and birds now in the backyard bursting outta the kitchen door going out.
Blackjack is the Alpha for the 1st time in his life.
Baylor worships the ground he walks on.
Blackjack is like Pt Boat sized compared to Baylor the young Battleship . LOL!!!
Wont be long before dumbazz rabbits come thru the chain link after green growth and panic trying to get outta the fence with 2 dogs on their azz.
