Subject: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: Janie Date: 21 Apr 06 - 09:16 AM Our office manager gave me a copy of this this morning. I thought it worth sharing. If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When it is in your best interest, practice obedience. Take naps. Stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily. Thrive on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do. On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree. When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout..!run right back and make friends. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough. Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently. |

Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: bobad Date: 21 Apr 06 - 09:37 AM Are you starting to think about getting a dog again Sorcha? It took me and my wife around a year to get over the loss of our two beloved dogs. Our new one just turned two and we love him to death. |

Rosie The Wonder Dog (9 years) has helped me get over job loss, family deaths, minor daily irritations, ill health, and done it all so selflessly. Cosmo The Other Dog (8 months) is learning fast. Peace, Mooh. |

Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: GUEST Date: 21 Apr 06 - 12:25 PM Second time Sroucha - I find myself agreeing with you.
The friendliest of greetings is sniffing another's arse-hole Do stupid things like shake hands, roll over, play dead, for your boss - believing THIS time its a biscut and not a pat on the head. Growl at postmen - because you are always successful in making them leave. Wagging your tail can get you out of trouble with the right man. Eat everthing Fattened Goose Livers, Chitlins, and Balut, - one of them may be as tasty as cat-skat. Goosing someone in the nuts with your nose - makes a more lasting impression than sitting down and shaking paws. Bad breath isn't your fault - dental care should be universal. If you can lick your privates - go for it, you deserve a little pleasure in life. Getting downright filthy can be a lot of fun - someone will always be their. Only show-piece of specimen should have breeding rights - castrate the unemployed. The bigger the vessel the better the brew - so like toilet bowls - always by your beer in kegs.
Sincerely, |

Second time Sroucha - I find myself agreeing with you.
The friendliest of greetings is sniffing another's arse-hole Like TAGGERS and Gangs - always mark your own turf and that of others Its OK to loudly howl, bark, around the clock - like teenagers and boom boxes. Do stupid things like shake hands, roll over, play dead, for your boss - believing THIS time its a pay-raise and not another pat on the head. Growl at postmen - because you are always successful in making them leave. Wagging your tail can get you out of trouble with the right man. Eat everthing Fattened Goose Livers, Chitlins, and Balut, - one of them may be as tasty as cat-skat. Goosing someone in the nuts with your nose - makes a more lasting impression than sitting down and shaking paws. Bad breath isn't your fault - dental care should be universal. If you can lick your privates - go for it, you deserve a little pleasure in life. Getting downright filthy can be a lot of fun - someone will always be their. Only show-piece specimens of the breeds should have breeding rights - castrate the unemployed. The bigger the vessel the better the brew - so like toilet bowls - always by your beer in kegs.

Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: Stilly River Sage Date: 27 Apr 06 - 02:35 PM Sometimes you just want to hit someone. . . this poor thing is much the coloring of my pit bull, though mine has patches of white under her chin and down her neck and chest. Too bad that the "teaching" of what not to do to dogs came at the cost of this animal's life. --SRS Posted on Thu, Apr. 27, 2006 link Owner of burned dog lied to police, officials say By BILL MILLER, Star-Telegram Staff Writer A Denton County man has given police two different versions of how a 10-month-old puppy was burned over 60 percent of her body: She bumped against a barbecue grill, he told police. Later, he said two men burned her because he owed them money. Deshann Brown, 21, was arrested shortly after midnight in Corinth, a community in Denton County, and charged with animal cruelty, said Senior Cpl. Jamie Kimbrough, Dallas police spokeswoman. The 10-month-old puppy, named Mercy, died Sunday despite efforts to save her from extensive injuries. She had been cut, stabbed, doused with gasoline and set afire, police said. On April 13, witnesses saw Mercy, ablaze, running through the parking lot of a north Dallas apartment complex. The witnesses extinguished the flames by dousing her with beer, police reports said. The witnesses told police that the dog belonged to Brown, who was questioned a short time later. He told police "he was attempting to grill on his patio when his dog, 'Brandy' - a pit bull mix - accidentally bumped (the) grill and ignited herself," the reports stated. In succeeding days, however, witnesses told a much different story to police and animal control officers. A woman said Brown wanted his dog to mate with hers, but that his dog "would not cooperate." She told Brown to remove his dog and he became angry and repeatedly kicked his dog as they were leaving, the reports said. The woman followed Brown "at a distance and next observed his dog to have cuts (and) stab wounds." Another man said saw Brown's dog on fire and running through the parking lot; he later saw Brown carrying a gas can, the reports said. The dog had burns over 60 percent of her body, and she was turned over to Operation Kindness, a non-profit shelter in Carrollton that tries to find homes for abandoned or abused animals. Officials interviewed Brown again April 17, and he told them that he lied to them about the grilling incident four days earlier. Brown then told them that "he owed money to two guys for an Xbox and they had retaliated by burning his dog," the reports said. Witnesses called the media, accusing Brown of being a torturous thug and complaining that he wasn't swiftly arrested. Kimbrough said police were working with animal control officers to develop the case against Brown. She said undercover officers from the North Central Deployment Division obtained a warrant for Brown's arrest and set up surveillance on several North Texas locations he was known to visit. Included was his mother's home in Corinth. The officers saw him driving from there shortly after midnight Thursday, and they followed him, Kimbrough said. Patrol officers from the Corinth Police Department stopped Brown for a traffic violation and turned him over to the undercover officers, Kimbrough said. He was subsequently placed in the Lew Sterrett Justice Center and charged with animal cruelty, a state jail felony punishable by 180 days to two years in jail, plus possible fines up to $10,000. Bail is $50,000, Kimbrough said. |

Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Apr 06 - 12:20 PM Yeah, but frogprince, the proper death for this guy would be to do to him exactly what he did to that dog, and who in their right mind could perform the same thing? That's the catch. I sometimes go looking for photos of dogs online, the "proud parent" type of comparison--"oh, that's a nice pit bull, but mine is prettier!" During such a search yesterday I came across a law enforcement site that dealt with detecting and enforcing prohibitions against dog fighting. The photos there were horrible--how people could do that to dogs. I had to go out and give my dogs some hugs of solidarity. Funny that a little while later when I took my dogs out for a walk a fellow driving by stopped and asked if I had papers for my pitbull, wondering if I would breed her. He was disappointed that after she arrived as a stray I'd had her spayed, but that is probably what saves her life--she's not an attractive target for any puppy mills. The fences are up to keep the dogs in, as is the Invisible Fence, and the gates are locked to keep people out, and with two dogs, they will raise quite a fuss if anyone tried to get into the yard to take one of them.

Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: Janie Date: 29 Apr 06 - 08:01 PM In the "I'm Not Kidding" department--A woman who works for my husband recently went to Florida to check on her aged father who has a farm or ranch down there. He also has Border Collies. There also coyotes. She brought back with her 27 Border Collie/Coyote pups to try to find homes for them. I guess they would be really good at rounding up sheep or gesse for supper! Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher From: Big Al Whittle Date: 30 Apr 06 - 06:40 PM I had a dirty dog for a teacher. he used threaten me continually, give me detentions, beat me over the head Kennedy's Shorter Latin Primer, ridicule me for not remembering what came after hic haec hoc, and made me hate my life for years. However he did teach me about the conditional tense. If a dog WERE the teacher. This has given me a snotty, superior and very arrogant manner. Fancy not knowing about the conditional tense, one inwardly chortles..... I think I detest education. Yeh, let the dogs do it, orang utans too, and kangaroos for PE. sod the teaching unions! |
