I just got an email from my sister and she was at the feed store today and the have a bulletin board. There was a person offering a water buffalo free to good home A WATER BUFFALO for heaven's sake. I emailed back and told her to go to blazes

Do I have to put a WATER BUFFALO on the bus now?

 

Poor no rose, she is gonna be really busy!

[Brandi]

How funny Brandi, Josef is getting antsy and moving up all the way to the front of the bus  I don't know where the Greyhound bus stop is here, but if he were flying he could come to John Wayne airport and then a short drive home 

Hope you have plenty of room, 4 donks has a delivery for you too!

Now Brandi I'm sure if you can fit a zebra in the window of a bus you'd be able to fit one in the avi

...this mean you are gonna take the zebra?

huh? huh? huh?

 

Are your feet getting cold cause it will be when he77 freezes over

heh .. somehow I knew that would be your answer.

Hi Monks---My sister-in-law had two chihuahuas.  (She has Alzheimers and lives with me and is driving me nuts, but that's another story,)  Anyway, she lives in a small apartment attached to my house. She had them out there, but she couldn't really take good care of them so she gave to their vet, who is nuts about chihuahuas.  It worked out good.  But the point of this, and I do have a point, is that wherever you go if you mention chihuahua, you will hear people all over the place saying, "I have two," or "My dad has six."  It's the oddest thing.  You rarely see chihuahuas out with people, but they are like a closet dog. Many people have them.  Those of you with chihuahuas try it in a store.  I was at Kroger's with my sister-in-law just yesterday and she was telling the man who was bagging the groceries about her chihuahuas.  He had two.  The cashier's sister had one.  It's just the strangest thing.

 

My Mom has two chi's , one brother has two chi's...    My mom usually takes her chi's out quite often, but not right now because it's so hot.   My Dad  used to walk around with "Mabel" his teacup chi, in the top of his overall's.  (He's passed on )  Mabel is 14 now but when my Dad was alive she would sit with him for hours.  Great company for him.  When he was in hospice, they allowed me to bring Mabel in to his room and she jumped out of my arms to get to him in bed.  She licked his face and rubbed his neck and I had to put a towel over her to take her back out.  She didn't want to leave him.   They had "Rosie" until she passed at age 17, and she only had three legs (accident).    Mom still has Mabel and she also has "Chloe", about a year old.  Brother's chi's are Dixie aka "Ditsy" and Gidget.  They're old chi "Skeeter" died last year at age 10.  They all love their chi's. 

I have 2 yorkies and 3 salukis, 2 tortoises and a cockatiel.   Other brother has 2 pugs.  I guess we just like things in sets.  Sister has only one jack russel and he's so busy, it's most likely enough.  And the brother with the w chi's also has a border collie and a yellow lab.  And a calico cat.  And horsies, and donkeys...  Other sister has a boxer mix and a quaker parrot.  We love out pets!

Could I interest you in a zebra or a water buffalo

OK my sister's on the phone and says the man at the feed store told her when the economy was booming people were buying 5 acre "ranchettes" and they'd get a horse or pony. Then they got Dexter catle( miniature cattle) then Zdonks and more and more exotics as pets. They would have their city friends come out to the ranch and amaze them. Then the economy went bust, they lost or had to sell their ranchettes and now are trying to dispose of the animals. He said he fels like the bulletin board is a zoo. How sad is that

[Green Eyes]

Good Golly Miss Molly  A water Buffalo. What are these people thinking.  I just don't get it. 

4Donks I would have told my sister the same thing.


Brandi I laughed at each picture of the bus as it received more passengers. See you could have put 4 Donks in there Just teasing. 

When I went though menopause the doctor wanted me to take take estrogen replacement I told him no. It isn't going to happen.  I am so glad I didn't.

Very sad!

People should not get pets as show pieces, and too many do.

They are life-long commitments. To be loved and provided for. All their life!

As we who rescue animals know.

That is so sad.  Did you see where some women got caught trying to smuggle out a baby tiger from Bangkok. She had drugged it and placed in a bag filled with stuffed tiger toys.  She might have gotten 3 grand for it. The poor thing is just bearly hanging on. Is in ICU at the National Zoo in Bangkok. (?)

There should be VERY severe penalties for doing that.

I hope there are. But I am sure they are not as severe as I'd like to see.

That makes me sick.

I may have some strange pets but they are pets and they are a lifetime commitment. Because donks live for 30 yrs and will outlive me I have a trust set up for their life time. I owe them that

You are a very special person, 4 donks.

We need more people like you in this world.

As an aside do not walk into a small town attorney's office in Alabama and announce you want to set up a trust for your donks. He was speechless. I went to Birmingham and had it done

You are amazing 4 Donks.  Like Brandi wish more people felt they way you do.  I was going to say that many feel that an animal is ex-spendable but it seems more & more it's just not their animals it's their children, spouses any human being. So sad. That's why I am feeding so many cats. People moved out and just left them.

Furby at the age of 13yrs was dumped at a high kill shelter because she had medical problems. How could you do that to a pet you've had for 13yrs She may not have many years left but she is a cherished member of this family.

[Green Eyes]

Every pet we have had has been a recused pet or they have just come to us and adopted us.  I don't understand how people can just dump them. I really don't.  Right now I heard a couple of the kittens crying at each other. I walked out to the kitchen and someone didn't put the left over hot dogs from dinner away. I had a cat on each end chewing and pulling and one in the middle trying to get it away from the other two. The whole time they are hissing at each other. I should be up set they were on the counter but it was to funny. So took it and cut it up into little pieces and feed it to them.
