I really have to stop watching television,
Society idolizes the wrong people today;
With all the abused dogs we are finding,
This really sickens me, in so many ways.
“I really think it’s time
For me and my family
To get another dog.
I really miss them.”
Michael Vick
I just couldn’t believe my ears
When he said that in an interview
He was convicted of animal cruelty
This ‘celebrity’ makes me want to puke
He owned, and he operated, a dog fighting ring
He starved, and tortured, and electrocuted them
Because of so many people, just like this NFL ‘Star’
Animal Cruelty in our misguided nation, will never end
He should never have been allowed, to play pro football again
He should never have been allowed, to be a hero for our children
Permitting him to have another dog, should never, ever, be allowed
And, I hope his ‘celebrity status’ doesn’t make our authorities cave in
As I sadly observe what’s happening in our misguided nation, today
I can’t believe the types of human beings we teach our kids to admire
And, as I receive yet another phone call about a dying dog in an alley
My sadness and anger erupt once more, over his ‘I want a dog’ desire
I can’t even count the number of abused dogs we find these days
So many of them tortured by dog fighters, and then, tossed like trash
Most of them starving, and now, so deathly afraid of we human beings
As I sadly put another one in my truck, my faith in mankind is fading fast

We just lost our cat, Sara Domino
Yes, she is a Domino, after all, we had her 18 yrs.
We are considering a dog now.
That would be GREAT!
I need to be taken for walks
For I am getting up in years!
I MISS your poetic wisdom!
How are you doing Mr. Ed?
Hope all is fine as you were a big fan of cats & canines.
Your old friend, on the Den.

We were protesting Star power the other day, celebrating the opening of an event with the cruelty of Foi gras. When later our concerns and effort were shown on TV, Star power again Poo Pooed us, this time journalists and reporters, we had the same results about abused dogs, puppy mills, etc.
The trouble is they are stars, long before we know their attitudes toward many things, their popularity, sways many a mind, especially the young, and there are despite many real wonderful stars, a great many that espouse only to the worst of greed and it's success, no matter what the means; Mind you, there are some real precious heros out there, that show a light, a much needed one, wish we had many more of them. If Vick, would, show the world, a different site of himself, for we all have it in us, don't we, say the good site, and promote his new pet in a new light, I'd say let him, I always believe in second chances, keep an eye on him, and if he screws up again, double his jail time, and fine him a few million more. I understand your and my frustration Ed, for we are trying to help.
You are a Angel, a special Very Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year! and of course the warrior and pets too!
I know how you feel. I feel for them, especially in the winter when its so cold out and harder to find food. I have a precious little dog and just the thought of him being abused sickens me. Thank you Ed, for calling attention to these abandoned souls.
Blessings,
