'Bushwhacked'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This seriously needs to stop happening in 2011.
I talked to Trudy Booth today, and her wonderful dog Dallas had to be put to sleep yesterday. She was 18 or 19, and was in a whole lot of pain.
And now my Mom just called me to tell me that my sister's GSD mix Ricky was also put to sleep this morning. He was 11. You could see from the picture taken that he was getting on in years.
Both were really, really good dogs, and were loved by their people, and everyone is very distraught over their losses.
Aw, poor Trudy. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your sister's dog too, Tom.
Aww, Dallas was such a wonderful dog.
Oh, no. I am so sorry for these losses. Thanks for sharing the news, Tom.
Much -ma to all Ricky's people.
sorry, Trudy.
and your sister,too,Tom.
At least they had good, rich, *loved* lives. They did good. Their owners will miss them sorely, no doubt.
Thanks, y'all!

Yes, this. Farewell, sweet doggies.
Hayden, congrats on new employment!
I have no Al Capone stories
My grandfather was working as a mechanic during that era, and according to a family story, Al Capone came through town one night and his car broke down, and he showed up at the garage where Granddad was working late, and Granddad fixed his car and he gave him some big tip. No idea what Capone was doing in rural Tennesee, and probably Granddad thought it best not to ask.
I do really want to go to Rabat, Morocco, and see the old quarter of Salee, where the Salee Rovers sailed from and where Murat Reis, ne Jan Jansen of Harleem of the Netherlands, ended up an Admiral of the Sultan's Fleet.
Now there is the making of a fine historical novel, my friend.
Good-bye, sweet doggies. Too many pets lost this year, already.
