THIS STORY IS SURE TO BRING A TEAR TO THE EYE OF ANY DOG LOVER (Page 2): I must admit even at my age I did tear up. Not so much the story but I lost both my miniature Schnauzers in...

I must admit even at my age I did tear up. Not so much the story but I lost both my miniature Schnauzers in Feb and April of 2013. They were brother and sister from the same litter, both got diabetes and later cancer which did them in. Only 8 yrs old. Right now I'm getting kinda weepy thinking about them so I'll stop since I can barely see the keyboard.

Beautiful story, I live rurally and some low life dumped two pups, four or five months old here right before it got 13 degrees and snowed six inches, I won't say how many these last two additions make but they are sweet little girls and want affection as much as food, even though they were really hungry

Yeah, when you live in the middle of nowhere like I do, you end up with a lot of dropped off and lost animals. For a while there I was so busy building dog houses that the neighbor thought I was running a kennel. I figured if they were going to hang around,they might as well have a place to stay. Some did, and some didn't. I don't know where they went, I guess they didn't like the chow I gave them. They didn't need a fence, I gave them a collar and and a name, Nobody called me about a stray dog, so I hope they adopted them when they left here. Now I am too old to play with dogs, they are so like children that it tears me up when someone abuses them. My last child dog died, from no one knew what. It must have been genetic. He was a good pup. Mongrel, but gentle and smart. He was just a big baby. I'm not keeping any more dogs. It is too hard to let them go.

Thanks for sharing that story. I'm a big dog lover and really enjoyed reading it. I'm a sucker for dog stories. I have a book that is about nothing but dog-loyalty and hero dog stories. Here's another one that is likely to bring a tear to your eye:

My own dog is a 16-yr-old silky terrier I rescued from a shelter in Sacramento 11 years ago. He's starting to slow down, but he still greets me with an enthusiastic "high five" every day when I get home. He's always happy! Keeps me sane and grounded. I can't expect him to last too much longer, and I will miss him terribly when he goes.

I'm not even going to look.
We have a corgie we rescued in 2005. They told us he was 6 or 8. Do the math. He is in a sharp decline, and we probabaly have to put him down before the end of the week.
One of our local vets will take care of it, and make a plaster paw print for us. Mrs. Bunker is heartbroken, and not wanting to let go.
It's amazing how much these little guys impact our lives.

Its a moving but sad story. The man who wrote this letter should never have been separated from his dog. Its sad that some people are so gullible that they believe that their mid-east service is to keep "those people" from coming here.

The way for the U.S. to avoid terrorist blowback is to stay the hell out of the middle east. Unfortunately both Bushes were clueless about understanding that principle. Its people like this writer who pay a steep price for the Bushes phony macho-man posturing and strutting.

Is it possible that on any given day you can not turn every single forum into a commentary on your political ideology?

Perhaps you failed to comprehend what the Chit Chat part of One Political Plaza is for.

Which second sentence clearly applies, as usual, to you.

The description of Chit Chat clearly defines it as non-political. Public school so poorly prepares some with reading comprehension.

You really are truly clueless. You take everything quite literally. You kind of remind me of Victoria Jackson. Everyone used to think her "ditzy" utterances were just an act. Then they found out that was really her.

Is Victoria Jackson someone of any importance?

"Everyone" did not "used to think of her" at all. Two of my neighbors are h*****g out, and they have never heard of her either.

Has anyone ever taught you how to do a google search? Its really not all that hard. I'm sure at GW Bush High School, they must have taught you about the "INTERNETS".
