Dogs are Living Luggage

I've got to say, trying to cause even more trouble perhaps.....Unit's brother Tom is a riot, he's so much fun. There we were at the family picnic, Tom's telling stories while we were shucking corn. That's another thing, corn. Two giant burlap bags of corn, that's part of the tradition.

So we're shucking corn and Tom says he's got a bunch of dead muskrats and a few raccoons in the deep freezer. He kills them on their property and they don't stink so bad when they're frozen and you can await whatever time is convenient to take the dump......HHAHAAHAHH!!!!!!!!!

And then he talked about burying a cat. The cat died. He's got a backhoe, the real deal. So he dug a hole and went to do a ceremonial burial. Nobody else was around, the family was not there. He had the cat nice and neat in a cardboard box. When he picked up the box, the bottom fell out of it, dead cat and all. So he just kicked the cat into the hole and threw the box in behind it..,,,,,and covered it up. The family never needs to know.... HAHAHHHHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!

One of our cats died while I was gone for a few days, the ground was hard-as-a-rock in the summertime making things hard to bury, wife didn't know what to do so her sister who has lots of years working around zoos, etc. said to put it in the freezer, which we had a big one on the back porch. There it was forgotten. A few weeks later I'm alone in the house rummaging around in same freezer looking for veggies or something and among all the other stuff there is a plastic bag, which upon focusing on through the frost reveals our old pet cat's face looking at me. So I'm half WTF, half pissed and half really pissed and just then the the sister-in-law calls on the phone for some reason and I go off on her about the frozen cat in the g****mn freezer and she says she's the one who said to put it there and I...I...oh, whatever. So anyhow after that we all lived in a house where there was a rule "No Dead Cats in the Freezer" and later on we got rid of the freezer entirely.

Live Cats

Our current ones on the news this morning as part of a clear-the-animal-shelters promotion (everything around here comes from the Humane Society).




Looking at the pictures, we could have named them PeeWee and Stude...

When I was a kid, we had lots of cats - we never adopted a cat but usually had 10-20 that were dropped off because we lived in the country. The cats figured the free buffet at our house was good enough for them (we simply had them fixed and turned them loose) so we always had those creatures underfoot. One of those cats that seemed to realize I didn't like him so, as cats are wont to do, never left my side. Since my parents had a toy poodle and never had a real dog, that cat was my 'dog.' (incidentally the toy poodle followed me too).
Unfortunately, since we lived on a fairly busy street, cat mortality was pretty high and this cat lost all his 9 lives in one gruesome incident. My mom saw it happen and ended up being the mortician. I'm guessing the cat was looking for me as I was in school at the time. My mom told me that cat had died, but not details. I never considered that she didn't bury it.
We had a trailer that we would take to the dump every couple of months, and my mom, pragmatist that she is, figured that was the best place for this now plastic-bagged-cat. A month later I'm pitch-forking the garbage out and found the burial site. No, I'm not over it. smh. Of course, the proper response was to un-tine the cat then toss its carcass into the open-pit dump. Every time I drive by that land now, I remember that incident. There is a Home Depot on top of the burial site, I'd like to think that cat is under the plastic-bag section.

Back to the procedure for an automatic cat wash!

Pdub - you need this girl.... she can be the lyrics to your tunes

this is a pretty cool program - they take unadoptable animals, send them to prison where they're trained by inmates and then put up for adoption....

I know what you're talking about Patrick, the text story where the dog put the cat into the clothes washer for giggles. But I did a quick search and found this....HAHAHAhAHA!!!!!!!!

I take it that it's not Kenny approved then?

He hasn't seen it yet. I want to know what store that machine's installed in.

No, need and want and fact are all different things. We now have to outlive the cat, we are responsible owners. A dog, you DO have to travel with. It's a joy of course but lots of maintenance moments during the day. And talk about finding a smoking room, try finding a pet-friendly room.

The cat, you can leave it at home with lots of litter boxes and food and water. Cats have no internal clock, when you get home they don't know if you've been gone for an hour or a week. They basically sleep all day anyhow. So, no, we don't "need" that dog. Not right now. Odds are, we'll get another one if we live long enough and we are finally tired of traveling so much for fun. We're not there yet.

Wonderful story . Just beautiful.

How can you say no to "Lyric" the dog? I mean, really... you can rescue her from Seattle - after all, around here they celebrate lyrics from Nirvana

the best part - because the pooch has been trained by criminals, she'll have the proper training to remove the problems from your neighborhood.... you just know she's packin'
