That's pretty damned hot for this cool country. I gave up trying to work in my woodshop when the temp went over the 100 degree mark. When "Bride Judy" got home from work, I was sleeping on the grass, on my back, wearing only shorts, in our very private courtyard. Our wonderful kat "Kissa Poika" was snuggled up beside me. Judy said she couldn't figure out who was snoring the loudest! CHEERS, Bob |

31 Jul 03 - 09:46 AM (#994133) Subject: RE: BS: Favourite Quotes about Cats and Dogs From: gnu I just had a good laugh. I was doing a building inspection where six cats are living. My client petted one large orange tabby tom and the cat was relly enjoying it. When my client stopped and pulled his hand away, the tom, as if to say, "I wasn't finished being petted.", swiftly sank a set of claws in the back of his hand and raked him good... lots of blood. I couldn't control my laughter. |

So they gathered together and wrote a letter to God, selected a messenger dog and inserted the letter inside him below his tail - so he would not drop it when he ate or barked, for the journey would be long and hard. Generations passed and the dogs are still waiting. That is why they sniff each other - they are searching for God's reply!"....Chipas Folklore All quotes from a book by Raymond Merritt and Miles Barthof entitled 1000 Dogs, probably the most incredibly moving collection of photographs I have ever seen, regarding any topic. |

One Christmas I gave my brother a photo I had taken of his little schnauzer Gar (short for Gargoyle) wearing a Santa hat, with that quote in calligraphy. There was something else from the very old days, from one of the poets - something about dogs possessing all of man's virtues with none of his vices. |

Maybe hump it too...and if it REALLY STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN, roll in it good and proper. # 4 - Don't poop on your own lawn if the neighbour's is accessible. # 5 - When's dinner? # 6 - Check out the scent of anything first.

02 Aug 03 - 10:30 PM (#995751) Subject: RE: BS: Favourite Quotes about Cats and Dogs From: Little Hawk Some more tenets of the canine existence: If it touches the floor it's mine. Theft is entirely justifiable, because possession is 99 per scent of the law. In fact, upon possession hang the Judges, the Law, and the Prophets. The worse I smell, the more attractive I am. I will always show you lots of close physical attention, specially when I'm wet or covered in dung and carrion which I have recently rolled in. This is because I love you. To err is human, to forgive is canine. Cats are living proof that Satan exists and is in control of planet Earth. That is why I intend to wipe them out. You can get a skunk before he gets you if you're fast enough, but it takes a lot of practice... Same with porcupines. Dogs never need baths. Disabuse yourself of the mad notion that they do and we'll get along much better in future. I pity you people, I really do. All that time wasted fussing around with worthless, meaningless objects that can't be eaten, staring at a flickering noisebox, jabbering incomprehensibly at each other... Why do you do it? Why not just nap instead? So when's dinner? - LH |

03 Aug 03 - 11:42 AM (#995940) Subject: RE: BS: Favourite Quotes about Cats and Dogs From: Little Hawk Another common dog thought: "God...I am soooo bored. Why does nothing ever happen around here? When's dinner?" This is the common lament of older dogs, who have passed the optimistic stages of crazy puppyhood and libidinous young adulthood, and have settled into the daily grind of ordinary domestic life. Their attitude is "Been there. Done that." They are eternally disappointed with life, except at mealtimes. Some cats are like this too, specially the housebound ones, but they're a bit more sarcastic about it, since they figure "I'm okay, it's everybody else who's nuts." Dogs are usually a bit troubled by obscure guilt feelings, and the thought that maybe they are not okay. They lie around and worry about it. As they worry, their little eyebrow bumps move up and down fitfully. Dachshunds and bassett hounds are superb at doing all of the above. - LH |
