He said some really angry-making stuff about how the dogs end up with them. One was a bitch from a puppy mill. The oldest had been shoved out a car window.

He said (I have no idea if this is true) that the Irish won’t keep old dogs and dump 100,000 into England every year.

” …my photographer spotted a giant model biplane…”

And you didn’t post a photo of it? Hmmmm….

Dogs aren’t afraid of fire?

but they sure do know that when your house is on fire, it’s time to leave.

Sheesh. You guys and your errplanes.

That’s one of the things they were trained to do, Willus — run into a burning building and look for people.

Added a “new” rescue dog to my household a month ago, an Australian Cattle Dog, or Blue Heeler. Same breed Max had in The Road Warrior. This one is a year and a half old, named Rinny.

Smart as a whip, high energy, and looooooves playing Frisbee. I suppose a cattle herding dog has an advantage in predicting a Frisbee’s flight and getting under it, but it’s still amazing to watch her do it. She’s better at it than I am, and I went to high school and college in Southern Cal.

Thanks, Stoaty!

What are the odds-makers making of the Brexit mood?

“Shoved out a car window.” Isn’t that charming. I hope that guy’s kids shove him off onto an ice floe when he gets too old for them to handle.

I rescued my younger cat, the big longhaired black fellow, when his “humans” (and I use that term loosely, as in “hominids”) left him behind when they were evicted. He was making a living going door-to-door for handouts. Quite pleased he was to be taken in, and he’s been a terrific roommate — it certainly wasn’t his looks or behavior that made them leave him behind. Just the usual inhuman “What we gonna do wit’ the cat?” “I don’ care.”

It’s too tense to comment on, Deborah. We’ve been drenched in lies and fantasies by the ‘elite’ as part of their ‘Project Fear’ and until a week or so back it looked pretty certain that they would win and thus secure their future snoutspace at the golden trough.

In the past few days there has been a kick back, however, and it looks just possible that we will win this one. Of course, whether we will have to start decorating lampposts before they actually implement the will of the people is another point, but I am buying piano wire whenever I can get it.

Here’s a dog rescue that’ll make you go Awwwwww… 🙂

Awwww.

I have a confession to make. I’m really not a dog person (I’ve never owned one, though my family did), but I am seriously addicted to those dog rescue videos that go around FaceBook. As long as there’s a before and after, whether the muddy skinny terrified dog is shown six months later sleeping upside down on the couch and leaping around somebody’s back yard.

I’m not proud.

If the referendum results are to leave the EU, and Parliament does not vote to do so—wow. How fast can a constituency put together a recall election …

Ah, well, at least you’re not *just* a cat person. 🙂 Your Chicken Lit is one of the major draws to this place. (Not to be confused with Chick Lit.) Speaking of which… maybe you should think about some new breeds for your coop?

BTW Whatever happened to the Weasel smiley and the up/down twinkles?

I lost my custom smilies in a tragic upgrade accident, MikeW. I custom coded this blog (read: took somebody’s working template and smashed my fists into it until I was satisfied with the looks), so some of the functionality is…non-standard. I haven’t given up on getting it back, though.

Deborah, the atmosphere here is airless and tense. Momentum seems to be for Brexit, but whichever way the vote goes, it doesn’t really solve anything. I mean, in terms of the country being desperately divided, and especially estranged from the ruling elite. Also, natives versus immigrants. Country versus city. North versus South. It’s not going to be pretty.

It’s not unlike the current contest in the US – especially the bit where the GOP was rumored to be thinking about denying Trump the nom even if he won it fair and square. Whoever wins the presidency, the majority of Americans are going to be super pissed off about it.

Soo… Albion, careering towards disaster. USA following close behind. Canada, ruled by narcissistic children. Australia sounds like an escape hatch ’til you find out they won’t let you in. NZ? Nah, not into sheep. What’s an Anglophone to do?

Currently hiding in the boonies of South Alabama; that may turn out to be my best (only) option.
