Zach never needed a licence but I always bought one because it was the primary source of revenue for our local shelter. Always tossed them another $20 too because they do good work. Next week I'm going to volunteer to walk their dogs. When I find the right one, I'll bring him/her home. Patience is the most important thing with a new pup. The best thing about my new home is I can shut off the carpeted areas and there's really nothing a new one can hurt which is pretty cool. It's just been so many years since I've had to break in a new pup. I think everything will be fine. Mark, that is super. I have a monthly taken out of my acct via paypal for the shelter we got Willy and Bully from, and the KY Colonels, too. Volunteering is a really good way to see how trainable some are. The older ones are mostly trained. Though it sounds silly, Bully and Willy (who was a short-timer) seem to "get" the rules of the house, as if the previous doggies wrote some doggie rules down somewhere. Don't discount a dog that has a couple years on him. Bully is the best behaved of any of our doggies. I guess he took the doggie rules seriously. Let us know how it's going. There are a lot of pet lovers here. David Will do. I was so happy for Bully when you posted his pics. Made my day. |

Sitting here waiting for the Lynrd Skyped farewell tour to start along with the Outlaws and Bad Company... Paul Rogers is still with the band after his stint with Queen. Did you bring a briar, metal, or glass pipe? I could have brought my Briar, cig smokers were nearby ignoring the no smoking rules! Plenty of Snuff and ElToro on hand. At $14.25 for a tall boy beer, I am drinking Crystal Geyser.... Bad Company put on a heck of a show! Skynyrd is up next! |

Was not into those groups back in days of yore, but I like them now |

Interesting facts leading up to the crash of the plane, Aerosmith’s manager in charge of flight operations deemed it not flight worthy and that was suppose to be the last flight of th LS band.... pilot error by running out of fuel. Sounds like a doomed flight. Pretty sad. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Mississippi_CV-240_crash |

I had to put down my beloved cattle dog of sixteen years after he broke his left hind leg at the hip yesterday. An X-ray confirmed the horrific injury. The last time I woke up without him I was in my late 30s and had a lot more hair on my head. That didn't work out this morning. I miss little buddy but have to carry on. So sorry for your loss. |

Good morning all. I'm sitting on the deck watching my 9 month old pup try to catch the honey bees in a Crepe Myrtle. After a while he gave up and decided to eat the flowers... Enjoying a nice, albeit hot, morning on the deck. I hope you all have a great Sunday!  |

Enjoying a nice, albeit hot, morning on the deck. I hope you all have a great Sunday! When I was a kid I tried catching Bees in a jar, probably for nefarious experiments. Wasn't having much luck when a bee landed on the weeds we called our lawn, right below my knees. Don't ask me why I put the jar down to catch it in my hands. I really don't know, but I gave up on bee catching after that |

I have been studying hard on the Cherokee in Texas, trying to get more information on my 3rd great grandfather, who was supposed to be Cherokee. The whole family has "known" this as a fact for every, but with no proof.
During this study, I have been sickened by reading about the the way that early Texans treated the Native Americans. It is totally disgusting. I am ashamed.

It is totally disgusting. I am ashamed. Equally saddenned and disgusted by what happened here in Colorado at Sand Creek. There is some pretty dark and depressing history in our great nation. I dare say, every great nation has skeletons in the closet. Mankind should do better, and once in awhile, does. |

We are still doing it. The government is still confiscating sacred land that is "protected" by treaties.

We are still doing it. The government is still confiscating sacred land that is "protected" by treaties. Similar things happened to the Cahokia Mounds in Illinois. They have protected it for many years, but I remember going through the area with my great uncle. It was pretty ravaged even by then. A while back I posted an image from the deeper part of the city, a one room house. One door. Two boarded up windows. The whole thing was 8x12, maybe. It was reputed to be part of the Underground Railroad, and indeed, there were many famous tunnels under that area of Saint Louis. Someone is keeping the grounds neat. There is a sign there of who is taking care of it, but nothing has been done for years. History is one of my biggest loves and this bothers me tremendously. We can't relive the last 240 years but we can preserve it. Thanks for your thoughts, Ron and Don |

I said it elsewhere before...
I asked my grandmother about it all, her tribe was wiped out...she didn't hold a grudge, she saw the first and second world war and her eldest saw Omaha beach and the battle of the bulge...she was glad that the French didn't settle the new world...along with their philosophical views.
Prior to the white man coming here, the tribes constantly took slaves from each other, took land, and executed some pretty grisly attacks against each other.
Such is the nature of man....hopefully we can learn from history and move on.

The Cherokee were one of the "Five Civilized Tribes". They assimilated, fought with the whites against the other Indians, farmed, paid taxes and went to church. Didn't matter. They were run out of the state, every state, to the Indian Territory.

It's funny (peculiar) how history repeats itself. What happened in Ireland is similar in some respects.

My lawyer died.
This might sound like the beginning of a joke, but it's not.
Jim Dyer was a gentle giant of a man, with a big bushy beard, kind eyes, and a big laugh. Always ready with a joke. He defended the people who couldn't afford to pay him, so he never made much money. But he was loved by everyone who knew him. I had lost track of him about 20 years ago, and I just heard about his death that happened on the 13th. He also taught law for many years at South Texas College of Law.
He leaves an opening in the world for a good lawyer and man.

They were run out of the state, every state, to the Indian Territory. I don't doubt that, but the same could be said against the whole spectrum of humanity... Oskar Schindler was a great man that saved many from extermination....the same could be said of whites, native Americans, Germans...etc, throughout history. In the new world there was certainly compassionate white men and women. I agree that overall the native Americans got a pretty raw deal...and they are still getting one, poverty and alcoholism are pretty prevalent in contemporary society on tribal lands, but that is another story. |
