Another Sunday already? Damn, it’ll be Thanksgiving before you know it.
On Press the Meat, Terrible Timmy hosts a debate between Senator Macaca, and his rival James Webb. If George Allen is as stupid as he usualy is, it might be kind of entertaining.
Over at Faze the Nation, it’s an all torture show, with a superbly balanced panel of Republican Lindsey Graham, Republican Arlen Specter, the man who’s trying to fill the Lizard’s shoes as National Security Advisor, Stephen Hadley, and token Democrat, Carl Levin. Could be worse, I guess; they might’ve gotten Joey Liebermann instead.
Should be easy to keep up the boycott of the Goebbels Broadcasting Company, unless you have a desire to look at Senator Chipmunk Cheeks McCain while he talks tough on torture (I believe this is all designed to show how “courageous” these Republican are in “standing up” to dubya on this – though they never seem to question why so many of these creeps are actually on board with it), and creepy Stephen Hadley, as he tells us how we aren’t gonna be safe unless we torture people, and I’m sure he’ll point out all the wonderful “intelligence” they’ve gotten (hey, they busted the Miami Seven, what more do you want?). You’ll also be missing out on the axis of drivel, as Cokie “the hag” Roberts, George :jerk: Will, and Sammy “the toop” Donaldson sit around the roundtable, and pontificate. Oh, and Jewel will be on to talk about breast awareness or something. You’re better off doing a google image search.
Over at Fux News Sunday, the weaselly one pulls a Boehner, and (as if that isn’t creepy enough), there’s also John Negroponte, who for some reason isn’t in prison somewhere.
Over at CNN’s Late Emission, the Wolfman has yes, once again, Stephen Hadley, redneck pro-torture Texas Senator John “Cornout” Cornyn, Evan Bayh, Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni (good name, gotta give her that), George Soros (who really should buy Marc his own radio network), Mowaffak al-Rubaie, the Iraqi national security adviser, and Lt. Gen Ali Mohammad Jan Aurakzai, who is Governor of Pakistan‘s Waziristan province.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl does a story on Internet gambling :yawn:, Scott Pelley has a chat with Bill Romanowski (should be a thrill for all you non-football fans), Ed Bradley chats with Howard Stern (who really ought to buy Marc his own radio network – or at least get Sirius to put him on the air; if they can have an all-Elvis channel, they can make room for a few hours of Maron every day), and a couple of stories I seem to recall already being on – one on the Canadian guy who the US wants to put in jail forever because he sold pot seeds via mail-order, and something about siblings of anonymous sperm donors hooking up.
Don’t forget, you can join Painting Girl and other Maron fans for the AAR Marc Maron wake over at FreeRadioSAIC tonight. Have a good Sunday.

In the lushy green Oasis of the United Arab Emirates, an emerging force to unify and build a strong Konkan fold has sprung up. Under the spiritual guidance of Fr. Cyprian D’souza and Main Coordinator, Noel Mascarenhas, all Zamath & Varado Leaders along with other prominent Konkan Associations of Dubai pronounced its solidarity in welcoming its patriarchal head from Mangalore, Rt. Rev. Fr. Aloysius D’souza, during the first week of September 2001. Sojourn began for St Mary’s Konkani Community of Dubai and is now marching ahead anticipating stronger participation from its own community members.
Our spiritual needs are met with by our churches in this arid desert but what about our least forgotten brethren in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah.

Dubai is the Singapore of the Arabian peninsula: a mini-state undergoing strong economic expansion, with a high average standard of living and in the avant-garde of modernity (it is building the tallest skyscraper in the world, approximately 900 meters high, with an unveiling planned for 2009). The Al-Maktoum family of emirs rules the country in an authoritarian style, but with boundaries of tolerance that are broader than in other Gulf countries. It has not yet experienced terrorist attacks, and radical Islam has not prospered there.
Hinder, a 63-year-old Swiss Capuchin friar, was once the order’s superior for the Middle East. He speaks fluent German, Italian, English, and French. He has been bishop for a year.

Capuchin Friar. A special order of the Franciscans. You never heard of them before?:priest:
well I’ve heard of “friars” :omg:
The Capuchins are…
The Order of Friars Minor Capuchin is an international fraternity of men who follow the gospel of Jesus Christ according the rule of life written by Saint Francis of Assisi.
Our ministry and our life go hand in hand. Our first ministry, our first service to the Church and the world is our fraternal life. Though each friar comes from a different background and has a different history, we come together to strive to live the life of the Gospel as true brothers. In a lonely and fragmented world, the Gospel call to community is a powerful witness. Friars also serve in a variety of ministries: preachers, fraternal service, teachers, hospital chaplains, administrators, pastors, missionaries – but we seek to live together in fraternity and support, help and encourage each other.
I like St. Francis – patron saint of animals 🙂
How’s the church at Assisi since that earthquake? A shame about the Giottos.
You know I have been concerned of late with the flack over Benedict’s controversial “conversion by the sword” citation. And so, I recalled a biography of St. Francis di Paola I read years ago. In it, Francis, during an invasion of Italy by the Ottomans, went into a city under seige, and began praying. The Ottomans withdrew soon after. Is this the sort of thing that Benedict fears? An invasion of Europe by the Turks? So frightening, that he once spoke against modern Turkey joining the EU. Turks are heathen invaders, you know.
:priest::cres:
yeah, he really seemed dangerous… who was he praying to? Not the same God. That’s really the point, you know.
You are talking about Francis of Assisi. My cat wears his medal. I am referring to Francis of Paola. He came later.
Dangerous ❓ like Gandhi-dangerous
point made. I’m going to try to mail that package later, from the city
St. Francis [of Assisi] and his followers had the inspiration to go among the Muslims as peacemakers in a nonviolent way and in a spirit of true brotherhood. This was a courageous decision by Francis and the early friars, as this stance was apposed to the ecclesiastical and social policy of the Church at that time.
Although thwarted by ill-health, Francis reached Syria at a time of great conflict between Islam and Christendom (5th Crusade). On his way Francis had a remarkable experience with the Sultan of Egypt, Malek-al-Kamil, a nephew of Saladin the Great. During their stay together, Francis and the Sultan became close friends.
For Francis and his followers, the Crusaders belief in God was fundamentally different from and even opposed to the God that they believed in from their reading of the Gospel. Ever since then, there have been emotional ties between many Franciscans and many Muslims.
Because of this historical relation with Islam, the Capuchin Centre for Peace and Conflict Transformation believes it is in a good position to engage in dialogue with Islam.
that’s inspiring. I really am impressed. That’s what religion should be about
Francis of Assisi was quite a character. (So was Francis of Paola, for that matter.)
so it seems… I wish more Westerners would take inspiration from that kind of religion
Governments are not moral agents. That is the problem in the west.
well I don’t want my government tied in with religion, but a bit of true morality wouldn’t hurt….I think the problem lies deeper than that, though
I’m taking a train ride 🙂
[Francis of Paola] had an extraordinary gift of prophecy: thus he foretold the capture of Otranto by the Turks in 1480, and its subsequent recovery by the King of Naples. Also he was gifted with discernment of consciences. He was no respecter of persons of whatever rank or position. He rebuked the King of Naples for his ill-doing and in consequence suffered much persecution. When Louis XI was in his last illness he sent an embassy to Calabria to beg the saint to visit him. Francis refused to come nor could he be prevailed upon until the pope ordered him to go. He then went to the king at Plessis-les-Tours and was with him at his death. Charles VIII, Louis’s successor, much admired the saint and during his reign kept him near the court and frequently consulted him. This king built a monastery for Minims at Plessis and another at Rome on the Pincian Hill. The regard in which Charles VIII held the saint was shared by Louis XII, who succeeded to the throne in 1498. Francis was now anxious to return to Italy, but the king would not permit him, not wishing to lose his counsels and direction. The last three mouths of his life he spent in entire solitude, preparing for death. On Maundy Thursday he gathered his community around him and exhorted them especially to have mutual charity amongst themselves and to maintain the rigour of their life and in particular perpetual abstinence. The next day, Good Friday, he again called them together and gave them his last instructions and appointed a vicar-general. He then received the last sacraments and asked to have the Passion according to St. John read out to him, and whilst this was being read, his soul passed away. Leo X canonized him in 1019. In 1562 the Huguenots broke open his tomb and found his body incorrupt. They dragged it forth and burnt it, but some of the bones were preserved by the Catholics and enshrined in various churches of his order. The Order of Minims does not seem at any time to have been very extensive, but they had houses in many countries. The definitive rule was approved in 1506 by Julius II, who also approved a rule for the nuns of the order. The feast of St. Francis of Paula is kept by the universal Church on 2 April, the day on which he died.
Governments act on the selfish interests of the most powerful.
True that. and they use religion just to keep masses of people in line. There’s no true religion in government
Claiming fraud, Mexico left names own ‘president’
MEXICO CITY, Sept 16 (Reuters) – Mexican leftists, who say the July 2 election was stolen, declared their candidate the “legitimate president” on Saturday, a symbolic move reducing the risk of street protests to make the country ungovernable.
snip
But fears of violence have eased in recent days as Lopez Obrador has apparently opted for an organized political movement to challenge Calderon rather than cause chaos on the streets.
Supporters voted to swear Lopez Obrador in at a ceremony on Nov. 20, just days before Calderon takes power on Dec. 1.
“We won the presidential election. I accept the post of president of Mexico because we reject an imposition,” he told cheering followers.
snip
There will, however, be sporadic protests in coming weeks, and delegates at a convention led by Lopez Obrador on Saturday voted to support a boycott against some of Mexico’s biggest companies, who they believe backed Calderon’s campaign.
They included the Mexican units of major U.S. firms such as retailer Wal-Mart (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and financial giant Citigroup (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research).

==============================
Is this just rhetoric or something actually happening down there. ??:eek:
The holy man was favoured with an eminent spirit of prophecy. He foretold to several persons, in the years 1447, 1448, and 1449, the taking of Constantinople by the Turks, which happened on the a 29th of May, in 1453, under the command of Mahomet II, when Constantine Palaeologus, the last Christian emperor, was slain, fighting tumultuously in the streets. He also foretold that Otranto, one of the most important places and keys of the kingdom of Naples, would fall into the hands of the same infidels, three months before Achmat Bacha surprised it on the last day of August 1480, to the great consternation of Italy and all Europe. But the servant of God promised the Christians, especially the pious John, Count of Arena, one of the generals of Ferdinand I, King of Naples, certain success the year following, when they recovered that city, and drove the infidels out of Italy, their victory being facilitated by the death of the Turkish emperor, and a civil war between the two brothers, Bajazet II and Zizimes. The authentic depositions of many unexceptionable witnesses, given with all the formalities which both the civil and canon law require, prove these and many other illustrious predictions of the holy man, on several public and private occasions,1 with regard to the Kings of Naples, Ferdinand I, and Alphonsus II, and Louisa of Savoy, countess, afterwards Duchess of Angouleme, mother of King Francis I, in France, and many others.

Are states moral agents? Or were Machiavelli, Adam Smith, and a host of others correct in concluding that they commonly act in the interests of domestic power – in Smith’s day, the “merchants and manufacturers” who were “by far the principal architects” of policy and whose interests were “most peculiarly attended to,” whatever the effects on others; in ours, corporate and financial power centers, increasingly transnational in scale?

Even if some cataclysmic even were to happen that removed all of the elite it would take no time at all before society reconstructed itself.
Cockroaches have an amazing ability for survival..
In order to maintain rule by the people the elite have to be provided with “incentives” to be good partners in government. :gate::omg::jason::jason::jason:
The Demodorps finally got their turn on C-span to query the thugbots on their FISA changes.. As it turns out without a court being involved the executive branch can ( and probably has) spy on anyone . We just have their word that they are only dealing in “foreign” matters :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
One of the things that came out was that foreign intelligence was not limited to just actions that might effect the security of the American people but also involved things like a foreign country changing the currency it was trading in and movement of funds from banks in the SBR to banks in other countries. :eek::eek::yuck::yuck::gate::omg:
C-spans WJ opening question is “what is wrong with the American auto industry” ..
I haven’t seen any figures on the total number of cars being sold so losing market share of a decreasing market might explain some of their problems..
If we really have 10 – 15 percent unemployment that would probably explain the whole thing.
In the 1980’s the American steel industry was driven out of business by “foreign” competition .. Under free trade Rony the US companies set up almost wholly owned foreign plants and competed with themselves to drive the obsolete American steel industry out of business, break the unions and the financing of democrat campaigns by the union members.
It is amazing that the callers to WJ this morning actually see this as the problem.. are we waking up .. :eek::eek::eek::yuck::rant1::paranoid::paranoid:

In the 1960’s American railroads got out of the passenger business because with the advent of jet aircraft it was no longer the most desired means of long distance transportation. They convinced the ICC that they were losing money by attributing all the costs of maintenance on the the lines that handled two long distance passenger trains per day and twenty frights per day to the passenger trains.
The government regulated airline ticket prices and subsidized the construction of airports and the purchase of airplanes ( under demodorp administrations) kerosene was like $ .20 a gallon. They were forced into a situation where they could not compete by there own government. :gate::omg::jason::jason::jason::fist::fist:

If you mean use images on your site, you should save them to your computer first, and then upload them to where you plan to use them. If you link to somebody’s image file directly, you’re using up their bandwidth, which isn’t really cool (I get that a fair amount of the time here, but haven’t worried too much about it, since we don’t come too close to the monthly bandwidth allowance; I could make a little script that only allows them to be used from this domain, but, well, it’s not really worth the effort).
I need to review the smilies before I add any more. Now that I look at them with a more critical (and imaginative) eye, I see that the dancing banana is thrusting its bananahood rather lasciviously, and may not be appropriate. Also, that one with the stick appears to be perpetrating nonconsensual sexual abuse onto the butt of another, and, frankly, I don’t like the way Sammy is looking at that sheep. Shameful and ignominious, indeed.
I always thought the smiley drinking a forty looked rather pornographic too.
I have copied smilies from this site and pasted in emails. Is that using your bandwidth, PJ. Should I stop doing that??
No, it’s no big deal. It depends on how they get pasted into the e-mail, but I was talking more about people who use images and paste them into other web pages (for instance, somebody – not from here – used a head shot of Marc in a Daily Kos diary, and linked it from here, which means that everybody who looked at that diary loaded the image from here). As I said, I never even come close to the bandwidth allotment, so it’s not really a big deal.
get your heads out of the gutters! that banana is just fine!
i’m pissed at the times. they published an op-ed by Yoo, federalist member and the brains behind many of the bush crime family memos in support of torture, contravening the geneva conventions etc. they did not disclose this – only that he was an ag 01-03. i fired off a letter. :growl: i’m not going to link to the piece of crap so as not to give it any more fodder. :rant1:
hey…I like the emoticons here…even the perverted ones!….There are some pretty good bloody ones out there…and a war one where a peace sign with smilies on it blows up a war tank….but the violent ones have more blood than some of Will & Seanie’s favorite video games….
It says in the local paper today that Toyota is ooking to have a plug in car available by 2009. I guess that the car can go 40 miles on electricity only before switching to gas…also jeep has a new engine called bluetec which is gonna be “superclean”…hmmmm…..
What is the best way?
The best way is to save them to your computer first, and then insert them as images. But, again, it’s not really a big issue, especially for the smilies, which are all pretty small file sizes. I shouldn’t have even brought it up.
Yeah, Toyota is going to make a plugin hybrid, that would effectively get something like 80 miles per gallon for the first hundred miles or so (all battery for a while, and beyond that, the traditional hybrid). Would be fantastic for me, I know that. Once again, the US auto industry misses the boat (but it’s the workers’ fault, for getting decent pay and health benefits).
If you get a chance to see Who Killed the Electric Car, you should. Very well done. quite interesting, and a real eye-opener.

So, I must just reek of doglessness. I was riding my bike and this stray pitbull with a chewed off power cord around her neck and a training collar followed me home. She was really sweet and looked like she might be in heat. I can’t take her, there are 3 dogs here already, 2 of which are very old. Plus, I really don’t want a pitbull. The pound isn’t open til noon and I am quite sure she will be killed within a day or 2 anyways. So, I gave her water and food and sent her on her way. I hope someone takes her in before the dog catcher gets here. She wouldn’t go away either. She jumped on the fence and barked at me to come back. It broke my heart!
Got this from Robert Greenwald, re: his latest effort, “Iraq for Sale.”
Dear activists, colleagues and friends,
Halliburton is starting to attack, and now we’re taking the fight to Washington to impact their one and only customer: the U.S. government.
I’m about to get on a flight to DC for a press conference tomorrow at 11am with two of the Halliburton/KBR truck drivers and Senator Dorgan, followed by hearings on war profiteering at 2, and the DC movie premiere at 7.
We are amazed that they openly admit to not seeing the film, and then proceed to attack it because they can “deduce” its content! I kid you not. Maybe they can deduce what happened to the billions they overcharged.
They accused us of being “privately funded,” which is their pathetic effort to smear the 3,006 of you who contributed to make the film happen! Perfect for a corporation where the head guy, David Lesar, one of THE top war profiteers, made over $40 million.
They attack us for getting the facts wrong, with no mention of any facts we got wrong. Then THEY distort the facts — one of my favorite being, “By all accounts, KBR’s logistical achievements in support of the troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan have been nothing short of amazing.”
They cite 411 million meals served, but neglect to mention how many they overcharged for. They cite 5.85 billion gallons of water, and still haven’t responded on how many gallons were contaminated.
And it goes on and on… read it for yourself if you want a good laugh. http://iraqforsale.org/hbattack.php
We think it’s time for Halliburton CEO David Lesar to own up, and since he’s not going to do it himself, we will do it for him. Watch this television ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAxIO0VtTiY
The fight is going to get tougher, harder, and meaner. The media attention on the war profiteers is escalating: CBS News, the Washington Post and the LA Times all featured stories this weekend. The stakes are significant and Halliburton, CACI, Titan, and Blackwater are all watching very closely and will do everything possible to secure their profits.
We’ll keep you informed of the latest on the movie blog: http://iraqforsale.org/blog.php
Help us get the film out as widely as possible. Email your friends, post on your blogs, arrange screenings, and show the profiteers that these patriots WILL NOT BACK DOWN.

P.S. The Senate DPC hearings tomorrow are in 538 Dirksen and are open to the public.

why bother?
Okay, so the dog wouldn’t leave! It sat on Michaels’ front porch and he suggested taking her to where I found her and knocking on some doors, so I did. The pound had my address now but had some kind of 4-6 hour response time and I don’t want the dog to get killed. I asked the guy mowing his lawn and he didn’t know who owned her and I headed over toward the tracks where the college students are and this guy riding down the street stopped and I asked him if he knew the dog. He said no but offered to try to find the dogs owner, so he rode off with her. :paranoid: If he keeps her, so what I guess. Better than running loose or in the pound. :nod:
Poor doggy….
I miss having dogs around. Saw a girl with a HUGE St. Bernard on State Street Friday. He was holding his retractable leash mechanism in his mouth so it looked like the barrel full of liquor.
it was a GORGEOUS dog. Absolutely beautiful.
I miss my friend John’s dog, Solstice. Soly. Vicious doggy. Well, actually not. But when I said “vicious” when he was holding the ball in his mouth, he’d growl and shake his head around. So cute. SO cute.
Hmmm… Now I’m sad.:holla:
Dubya’s gonna do a U-Turn on Global Warming. Apparently he’s afraid of getting blasted in Al Gore’s speech tomorrow at NYU (live webcast at NYU’s website).

WASHINGTON — At the National Counterterrorism Center — the agency created two years ago to prevent another attack like Sept. 11 — more than half of the employees are not U.S. government analysts or terrorism experts. Instead, they are outside contractors.
At CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., senior officials say it is routine for career officers to look around the table during meetings on secret operations and be surrounded by so-called green-badgers — nonagency employees who carry special-colored IDs.

A Reply to Yoo’s NYT oped:.0
… this truly ridiculous Op-Ed by John Yoo in this morning’s NYT — in which Yoo gleefully celebrates every authoritarian transgression of the Bush administration, from torture and pre-emptive wars to endless invocations of presidential secrecy, the issuance of “hundreds of signing statements” declaring laws invalid, and even what Yoo calls the President’s assertion of his power to “sidestep laws that invade his executive authority” (what we used to call “breaking the law”) (emphasis added in all instances).
But then I thought better of it, because, at this point, anyone who fails (or refuses) to recognize that the President does not have the power in our system of government to violate laws by invoking national security concerns is never going to recognize that. Yoo’s Op-Ed is so flagrantly frivolous that it ought not be taken seriously. He even goes so far as to claim that the “founders intended that wrongheaded or obsolete legislation and judicial decisions would be checked by presidential action.” How can you be on the faculty of a major law school and say this?

St. Hildegarde
Feastday: September 17
1179
Hildegarde at Bockelheim, Germany, in 1098. Afflicted with fragile health as a child, she was placed in the care of her aunt, Blessed Jutta, who lived as a recluse. Jutta eventually formed a community of nuns, and Hildegarde joined the group, becoming prioress of the house when Jutta died in 1136. Hildegarde moved the community to Rupertsburg, near Bingen on the Rhine, and she established still another convent at Eibengen around the year 1165, overcoming great opposition on many occasions. Hildegarde was known for visions and prophecies, which at her spiritual directors request, she recorded. They were set down in a work called Scivias and approved by the archbishop of Mainz and Pope Eugenius III at the recommendation of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Living in a turbulent age, Hildegarde put her talents to work in the quest for obtaining true justice and peace. She corresponded with four popes, two emperors, King Henry II of England, and famous clergy. Her pronouncements attracted the fancy of the populace-drawing down upon her both acclaim and disparagement… She is regarded as one of the greatest figures of the 12th century the first of the great German mystics as well as a poet, a physician, and a prophetess. She has been compared to Dante and to William Blake. This remarkable woman of God died on September 17, 1179. Miracles were reported at her death, and she was proclaimed as a Saint by the multitudes. . .
I think that the left sided talkers would be more successful if they promoted some ideas about combating the Reich’s slime campaigns and the isolation and destruction of the Reich’s media as apposed to just slamming everything they do. They spread there outrage among a bunch of people who would never vote for a rethugs ever again.. never ever again. We know they are 👿 we know that are liars.. what we don’t know is what to do to minimalism them and keep them that way. :gate::omg::jason::jason::jason:
Hildegarde = True Prophet :pent:
er, I mean :priest: sorree
In general the working people don’t have any time to be politically active. Unless the left sided talkers are just targeting those on the left lying around their pool and/or their pool table and the intention is to mobilize them in some way. Most retired people are in such a world of hurt that they spend all their days on Prozac and cursing at the lousy reception As The World Turns has with their indoor TV antenna because they can’t afford cable. :gate::omg::jason::jason::jason:
Okay, I’m pretty much ON THE AIR now so come on over and grab a chair!

I wouldn’t put much faith into anything written about someone or some event before the 1600’s when the printing press was invented especially things about mystic and religious figures. What you read may be more of a literary fiction novel on the part of a Monk transcribing in a distant monastery than about what really happened. :eek::rant1:
Helen Caldecott is a reactionary purveyor of half truths and outright lies about nuclear power. Nuclear power in the hands of private industry and rethug dominated government structures is dangerous because they cut corners and don’t do the required maintenance. Fusion breeder reactors would provide all the energy required essentially for ever .. If they do build solar power stations they would have to be in orbit and PETA will object to the birds wind turbines will kill .. Everyone on the left has their pet peeve.. maybe that’s why they say the lefts solution to an indian attack would have been to circle the wagons and then shoot at each other.
Helen knows about as much about nuclear power as Bill Frist knows about medicine. :rant1:
Ok Helen go live in western Colorado or eastern Utah where naturally occurring uranium makes the background radiation levels 1000 times that in the North East. 😮
A boiler explosion at a typical 600 megawatt coal fired plant would level everything in a radius of 2 miles.:rant1:
Helen is so full of :crap: she should be a rethug.:gate::omg::jason::jason:
Every time the left puts Helen on the air it must reduce their credibility by at least 5%..:rant1:
PJ- Im assuming that I have only to change the times on my stream for Sam tomorrow…right? What did you do?
Oh man, the Universe wants me to get a dog so bad. What the hell is The Simpson’s about tonight! What! Lisa goes to the pound and takes a whole bunch of animals home. Cripes! :pup:
Krista…..maybe you should….but dont do anything hasty…dont get a puppy with those old dogs…though my 2 year old most recent rescue is such a puppy and she never seems to get much better. I thin that maybe boston terriers are like thia. Im trying to remember if Lola took this long to grow up. I think so, actually….
Into everything and harassing the older dogs….
But then Lola is too….they are a terror tag team lately.
Buddy is the only one I worry about. Elsie and Phoebe would probably be okay with a puppy.
well, maybe an adolescent….?
Take a look on petfinders.com ad see whats out there….there are always lots o’ puppies, thats for sure!
Yep, Melina, changing the time should do the trick.
