Poem Artwork

Now that my spider bite blues


Have finally been removed


It’s time to head down the road


And make our long delayed move


 


Time to hitch up all our dogs


And bundle up all of our cats


Time to move heavy furniture


And trash my now aching back


 


We’re heading down the road to a bigger house


Which already has my wife in a paranoid dread


There’ll be a lot more room for a lot more critters


“You bring along a skunk, Mister, and you’re Dead!”


 


And after this exhausting endeavor occurs


I’m heading off to Florida to visit my mother


I can already hear her giving me lots of hell


For teasing my big old Momma’s Boy brother


 


But who knows what exotic critters I may find


On that long winding road heading out of town


Maybe a kitten or an old turtle in need of a ride


Or another starving abandoned and forlorn hound


 


If you have a few spare minutes


Please check out my brand new space


It’s a website that I’ve started to develop


Dedicated to friends not of the human race


 


Here you’ll find a slideshow of my pets


And an extremely sad animal shelter video


And a video tribute to The Crocodile Hunter


Along with a video depicting Puppy Mill woe


 


Here you will also find numerous site links and comments


From dedicated animal welfare folks all over this vast planet


So I hope that you can find some time to visit my new website


I believe that earth’s creatures should never be taken for granted


 


 


See You All Here in November if Everything Goes as Planned


And I Hope the Month Ahead For All of You is Simply Grand


 


 


Adios For Now, My AD Friends


I’ll Soon Be - On the Road Again

Though belated, I hope you are having a successful move, Ed. I've moved so many times that I can pack a dish box blindfolded, but I still do not envy anyone having to do it. I am sure everything will work out fine in the end, though.

God speed, my friend......

Have a safe and happy move, Ed and wait until all your critters are settled before bringing more along. I think that your pet friends as well as your wife will appreciate the time to settle in...yeah, I know, you can't help yourself, any animal in need has a place with you. Congratulations on the bigger abode.
Take care,

Have a great and safe move Ed.

We had to put our cat, BOO, down this week. Vet said there was nothing she could do to save him. Big tumor under his tongue, So sad.

That's one of the roles of a good wife - let the man create and have freedom while she keeps a hand tightly clenched on the leash.

Blessings and safety ...
