  • Good for Izzy

    If I were dying, I'd like nothing better than a friendly cat or dog to visit me.

  • Hospice Dog

    Not only can they comfort the dying, they can also call someone back who has lost the will to live. This I know from experiences in my own life and family. My nephew's cocker spaniel called him back from death's door when my nephew wanted to go on. he was comatose until I took the cocker spaniel to the nursing home and put him in bed with my ...

  • choosing a dog can be tricky

    We've always had dogs. Through the years, we've had dogs that mostly slept and dogs so alert that they steered us clear of dangers, real or imagined. We've had dogs that kept bumping into things and knocking them over and dogs that embarrassed us by humping everything in sight. We've had dogs that broke our hearts when they met an early ...

  • Scientology afterlife

    I'm not a Scientologist, to the best of my knowledge I've never know one either. Their belief of what happens to us in the afterlife in no more or less absurd than that of any other religion. Personally, I believe that we are continually reincarnated to a lower and lower life form (to purge us of our vanity). Finally, when we can go no lower, ...

  • Re: Billions for dogs welfare?

    If the only direction is that the money be used to help dogs, well then, there are a lot of ways to help the dogs that help people, too. One idea is to help the pets of homeless people. They have dogs because the dog gives them companionship and odesn't judge, but most shelters don't allow dogs. So create a homeless shelter that does take ...

  • Re: dogs at work

    For about the first time I think that Prudence did not give the right answer. Dogs in the office can be good for everyone and I know people who do occassionally take their dogs to work with them (the library, a regular office, etc.). However, no dog should come to the office if it is noisy, obtrusive, or is not completely house trained. To ...

  • The time I ate dog.

    I'm a bit of an adventurous eater; I still regret passing up lamb's testicles a few months ago when I was in Syria, but there are few things I won't try, given a chance. I was travelling in China, attending a friend's wedding. One night (the day after the landslide trapped us in a rural village, if I recall correctly -- it was an awesome trip), ...

  • We "invented" dogs?

    Take an animal husbandry class. We invented more than just dogs, we ''invented'' every single domesticated species on the planet. You think thoroughbred horses are just found wild? Or Hereford cattle? Or how about the Japanese Wagyu cattle which produce $300 per pound Kobe beef? Yeah Kobe beef doesn't come from that same scrawny cow that gave you ...

  • Re: eating dog or pig

    My first thought when I saw the ''would you eat dog meat?'' msn link to this article was: Wouldn't it be easier to just go pull up a turnip than to eat the dog? I wouldn't anymore eat a dog than eat a person! One would be about as appetizing as the other if food ever gets that scarce... :o)
