I read this headline on npr.com today and it made me nauseous. When will people understand that making abortion illegal does not make abortion go away — preventing unwanted pregnancy makes abortion go away. And if family planning funding is reduced, abortions increase. Doh.
One comment: “George Carlin said it all.” drew me in to watch this video… it is hysterically funny.

What is it? A bad fix for bad construction errors in my house. A working dryer vent.

Who knew a lttle four-footed creature could so fill up a house? Yes, Gracie is still here. Petey is in his forth day of incarceration. Daily visits seem to calm him, but no touching allowed. Four more days…

I visited my jail-bird for the 2nd day since incarceration. A bit fewer curse words thrown in my direction, but, nonetheless upset at my out-here-ness and his in-here-ness. Next Thursday morning is dedicated to getting the sweetie out of Animal Care jail. Wish they separated the viscious biters from the fear biters. I am sure the ones who have been bitten do not give a damn…

Don’t be misled. This is the best wildflower year in a long time. And the seasonal tradition here in Texas is photographing one’s self, family or just plainly the bluebonnets. It is strictly a Texas tradition that must be fulfilled. The picture in the bluebonnets. I, being a Californian have never understood. The wide expansions of bluebonnets are lovely.. but if Texans would stop with the grasses and not mow — bluebonnets would thrive everywhere.

The vet said only one of the four is suspicious looking. So I am living with a very unhappy camper wearing a less than lovely E-collar. And Gracie, if she could talk, would be saying in a high-pitched, snarky voice “Why are you wearing that funny hat with the hole in the front?”

The only thing that comes close to being as bad as dumping dogs is the people that call Animal Control to come get them, but don’t keep the dogs safe in their yard or garage.
Two dogs were dumped at my subdivision entrance yesterday. The closest homeowners called Animal Control several times. By the time I drove down to pick up mail it was after dark. One dog was cowering but approachable. I put her in my car. Then as I headed home this same neighbor waved me down to point out the sibling that had been hit by a car.
I can’t believe these neighbors didn’t put these dogs in their backyard to keep them safe. The dogs were begging for attention.
I wrapped the injured dog in a towel and headed to Angels of Mercy pet hospital. After an exam we determined the injuries to this poor dog were too great. She was put to sleep. Her sister checked out with no microchip. Both dogs without collars or tags and with terribly bad teeth.
Gracie is the name I have settled on for the remaining sister. She went to the vet today and she doesn’t have heartworms. She now is current on her shots. Tomorrow the blood test results will come in. And I will call the Humane Society to see if they have room for her.
I have learned that they are the professionals at getting animals adopted. Gracie is a quiet, demure, very sweet dog. She should have no troubles finding a forever home.
I just don’t understand anyone that thinks dumping a dog is a good idea. Leaving a dog to a “crushed and dying in a ditch” fate is better than taking an animal to a no-kill shelter???

Feed the homeless to the hungry… ugh, made me nauseous just to read it.
