I knew someone who named their dog, "dog". I thought that was kinda neat.

My friend Holly has a friend (no, it really is a friend of a friend

who named her dog "Woof." Holly told the story of when Woof got out and the owner ran down the road yelling the dog's name, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Hearts United for Animals has a link to a new ad against puppy mills:

http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/Ad.html

A dissappointing campaign.

It makes no effort to distinguish between "puppy mills" and repsonsible breeders.

It offers no concrete suggestions for corrective legislation.

Higgins is also the same dog who became the first "Benjie."

I hope I remember this next time I get to name a dog!

The funniest part about the "Woof" story was that the owner hadn't lived in that neighborhood for very long...and her neighbors didn't know her very well (some, not at all), and to see this woman running down the street yelling "Woof! Woof! Woof!" doesn't make for a good first impression.

Yes I do DRDANISE, thanks.

THE SADIST - whew! Well Arch Hall, Jr is the whole show!

Next time you watch THE BANDWAGON - just as Nanette changes tempo and goes into: "Get goin' Louisiana, Hey, Louisiana Hayride..." sure enough on the left a teamster is walking around behind the scenery...LOL! Look quick!

"You got more scenery in this show than Yellowstone National Park!"

I love THE BANDWAGON!!!

And of course Benji and Arnold the Pig are both from Mooresville, Indiana. One time Arnold the Pig was in the Old Settlers Parade with the Town Marshall. The picture was on the front page of the Mooresville Times and the Marshall was identified as the one wearing a hat.

I left to make some hard boiled eggs and when I returned I had lost my internet connection-and I wasn’t using the phone. Email wasn’t working either. I had four emails in my outbox going nowhere.

Now that is really funny. We trained get to go potty on command. Our mistake was using the word potty. It was rather embarrassing at times. If there is a next time the word will be hurry.

So, why do you get to be Rodzinski, and I don't?

Re: Weird names for pets and other small things department: I shall never forget many, many years ago in NW Portland I was at a laundromat doing my laundry and there was a young hippie woman with her maybe 3 or 4 year old daughter in there, too. The daughter was running around the room, screaming and yelling and basically running amok. The young woman looked up and in an exasperated tone shouted, "Be good, Karma!!"

Oh yes, DRMBARNUM - we are the Hollywood of the Midwest. You can't spit without hitting someone who was in a movie or a tv show at one time or another.

Spent the afternoon listening to Pajama Game OCR while reading the conductor's score (I get the handwritten conductor's score since it has all the instrument allocation markings. The choral director who can't play the piano gets the neatly printed piano score, of course). It's always interesting to see how Goddard Lieberson would cut even a measure or two here and there to make the song flow more for a listening audience and, probably, to save a little time. Interestingly, there's some stuff on the album that's not in the score. I assume maybe it was cut somewhere along the way.

In Hollywood they usually just ask for an autograph.

DrBrucer regarding #1, a petition for a license could cover that.

Not having male dogs in years I wasn’t aware of the prostate problem. I will have to ask my vet about it. What about females? Is there an issue against spaying them young?

The pictures on the add make it apparent to me they are going after the puppy mills, however, your take on it makes me think twice about it. I’m going to ask my friend in Pennsylvania what her opinion is. I do agree concrete suggestions for corrective legislation might be nice. The responsible breeders I know would like to put the puppy mills out of business but understandably want to protect themselves.

Jeez, leave it to the straight Jew to know how to spell the drag queen's name. I have also been to Darcelle's current club. One of my dearest friends in the world was a waiter there.

Watching the Republicans scurry department: There was a hilarious report on the evening news about how Delay and Frist who a week ago wouldn't shut up about Schaivo are now refusing to talk about her now that the latest poll is out showing 75% of all Americans (and 68% of all Republicans) disapprove of Congress injecting itself (pun not really intended) into this very private decision.

Sick humor department: WARNING!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY UPSET!!!! Did anyone else's paper have the somewhat disturbing but ultimately hilarious story of the bowl of chili containing the human finger at a Wendy's restaurant? A Wendy's spokesman went into great detail about how the finger could not have come from any of its chili suppliers since there would have been a medical emergency and an ambulance called had a chili production person lost a finger. Now here's the funny part: since they're not sure where the finger came from, the FBI has taken the finger's print (singular--only one finger was found) and is running it through their database to try to find a match.

I had a male cat (who passed away a couple of years ago) that I named Peter Thomas (or P.T.). The adoption agency that I got him from had found him wandering on Easter Sunday and had named him "Peter." I told them I refused to call him that. I said, "There is no way I am going over to the lady who lives next door and ask her if she has seen my Peter."

They agreed to the name change.

But think of the opportunities lost:

"Would you like to play with my Peter?"
"Would you like to see my Peter do his tricks?"
"Peter, Sit Up!"
"My Peter loves to be stroked."

And we could all testify how much TCB loves his Peter.

This cat talk brings to mind the famous interchange between Johnny Carson (was it? or was it Groucho Marx?) and some actress who had her pet in her lap.

"Would you like to stroke my pussy?" she asked.
"I'd love to if only you'd get that damn cat out of your lap first."
