Hey, thanks again for all those kind words, folks. Anyone who knows me knows how much I care for animals. All the animals in my home are adopted and I support my local humane society both economically and in action. Losing this companion of some five years was a tough and unexpected loss. Don't mean to clog the thread but I did want to express my appreciation to all those who posted here recently. As I said before, it really means a lot. (Metalhead, you got it right...we ARE family here).
Today I spent a good deal of time making calls and writing emails. With a relative coming in from Michigan for the holidays, I hope to have a new companion to share with you all soon. Until then, much metal love. |

You know, one would think you would learn your lesson after the first 3 times your account got banned from here, but sadly, it seems that you're up to the same old foolishness you were up to before. It's because of numbskulls like you that even the band or their manager come on here anymore.
Furthermore, the lack of compassion and decency for your fellow man is utterly despicable. Maybe if you tried acting civilized, you would get along with the rest of us and not be an embarrassment to yourself.

Do you wonder sometimes how things like this get into the human species? I think the best to do in this situation is totally ignore sensless, cruel posts such as that one. I sense Big Jack is none other than our very own Metal God/Electric Eye piece of excrement. If not, he comes from the same fold as that thing.
Guido, I am so sorry for your loss. My beloved Mastif died in my arms five years ago and words cannot describe the emotions that run through you at a time like that. Self pity, however, is not one of them at all. Please ignore this character and know that your true metal family are sharing your pain with you.

Clydesdales are my favorite horses ( & not because they pull the Anheiser Busch wagons in the commercials either MG --ehat beautiful cats !!--I think all pets are beautiful !! ( unless you have snakes or rats as pets )

Clydesdales are from Scotland (named after the River Clyde) and are the smaller brothers of the Shire Horses from England. The breeding does get a bit mixed up. There are just some colors that are not allowed to be shown at shows if it is a Shire Horse.
EDIT: Beautiful cats Metalgoddess!!!

Wow - beautiful animals.
Speaking of large animals - our first horse was a Shire Horse. Unfortunately he had a skin disease we couldn't deal with and had to give him back to the breeder. He's fine now. Here's a picture of me on him last year:

Thanks all but, Lana, just one horse. The one in front. Mama behind her isn't mine. Saffie lost her "baby belly" quite some time ago, and she is much redder than this picture shows. As for clydesdales, check out this one....baby about 12 hours old kept at the same farm where I keep Saffie. Nothing prettier than a baby horse! If anyone cares to know what a Jack Mule is and how BIG these animals get, here a picture that puts it into perspective. HUGE! Especially the head.

Udo, this is mine. Saffie. Even better than riding her, I love BRUSHING her. Talk about taking away the worries of the day. When you are dealing with an animal this big (as well as all the others that typically roam around in the field where I keep her) you certainly have nothing else on your mind! Picture is a bit old as it was when I registered her. That is her mother roaming around her. Saffron is about as big as she is now. VERY fast horse.

Thank you all for your kind comments!
And having a horse is very nice and pretty much of a challenge.
I started horse riding at the age of 36 after meeting my wife (finally the woman of all - no, beyond - my dreams!). She had been riding for over 20 years.
I got totally hooked because a horse is ALIVE. When you hop onto your motorbike the machine does what you what it to do - always reacting in the same way to the same conditions. A horse - well, I always say a horse is only a person anyway - reacts the way it FEELS. Like we do. Going to the stable and meeting up with Spirit is always very cool because he'll show you immediately how he feels (tired, excited, even pissed off).
Of course I'm in charge - I have to be because giving him that feeling makes him feel secure with his surroundings. But I'm not gonna beat the shit out of him if he's having a bad day. Then we "talk" about it and just take it easy. He learns to trust me and I learn to be patient (I'm still a bit of an excited kinda guy...)!
It's a great experience - I love it. |

And having a horse is very nice and pretty much of a challenge.
I started horse riding at the age of 36 after meeting my wife (finally the woman of all - no, beyond - my dreams!). She had been riding for over 20 years.
I got totally hooked because a horse is ALIVE. When you hop onto your motorbike the machine does what you what it to do - always reacting in the same way to the same conditions. A horse - well, I always say a horse is only a person anyway - reacts the way it FEELS. Like we do. Going to the stable and meeting up with Spirit is always very cool because he'll show you immediately how he feels (tired, excited, even pissed off).
Of course I'm in charge - I have to be because giving him that feeling makes him feel secure with his surroundings. But I'm not gonna beat the shit out of him if he's having a bad day. Then we "talk" about it and just take it easy. He learns to trust me and I learn to be patient (I'm still a bit of an excited kinda guy...)!
It's a great experience - I love it. |

LOL, I had a male Aussie for 13 years, the best dog I ever owned! Loyal, trustworthy, obedient! The greatest dog in the world! What a pleasure he was to own! He was around as an old fellow when my child was born and he took to her like he was second mama!
My Bella is female, and, apparently, it makes the difference. She is nothing like Maxwell! She rebels on me all the time! I have tried about everything! It does amaze me though, she will respond to a male voice just like that! I love her but she is a handful and has epilespsy. Poor girl, I could never admit defeat, so I will just have to keep on with her until she finally gives me the reigns! I know she will as she matures. Maxwell was very destructive as a baby too, but he grew out of it by about 3. Long time to wait for the perfect dog, but I know she can rise to the occasion! As long as the love is there, anything is possible! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by devils_child from Tuesday, October 28, 2008 10:21:13 PM)

All us Aussies are crazy... hehehe pets included. I had a bluey (Aussie Cattle Dog) called 'Bindi' when i was little. He used to love tearing the washing off the line...
he ate all my school dresses, he also ate through an entire queen sized mattress..?!?! My mum got so annoyed one day she strung up a huge bag full of water on the washing line...
so predictable Bindi went over to the line and proceeded to tear it down... He got drenched...
it was one of the funniest memories of my early childhood. In the end we had to get rid of him, i think having a bluey requires alot of time, love and devotion...
they get bored so easy.
They are beautiful dogs though., Bella looks like a sweety.. I know they are very loyal dogs also.. and can get a bit protective. (Quoting Message by spapad from Tuesday, October 28, 2008 5:55:44 PM)

Oh, excellent! Thanks for the heads up on the Kili review. I'll check it out later. I did quite a lot of research on it and read it to be just as you describe. Not a technical climb but just slow and strenuous. Many claim that you should be doing some serious stairmaster exercising with a bunch of weights in a backpack just to prepare! PRICE was the main problem this year. As a direct flight from the US was so expensive, I even looked to getting a ticket from Brazil. Nope, out of range. I do hope to make the trek someday, though.
Athens Marathon? Wow. That would be amazing. I am looking at Chicago in 2009. Been to the city many a time but, like they say, nothing compares to seeing it on foot! Let me know how it goes.
I'll try to post a pic of my horse when I am able.

I've run in Salzburg/Austria, Basel/Switzerland, Heilbronn/Germany and will be running in Bad Arolsen/Germany on November 29 2008. I actually want to keep running two each year - I always like to have a goal ahead of me - keeps me going. Next I want to run the original one in Athens/Greece (taking place on November 9 2009).
And as for the KILI - go for it - it's not much climbing although it is very strenuous. The altitude sickness almost stopped me but my wife actually kicked me in the ass so that I made it. I've done a review on my website if you're interested (in English as well). It's a great experience - a challenge!

Udo, you caught my attention with your intro post as I also run marathons (Rio, Brazil last summer and Memphis 1/2 coming up in December), was SERIOUSLY thinking of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro this year (airfare was too much...maybe next year) and now this....I also own an Appaloosa! Her registered name is Saffron but we call her "Saffie." She is now three. Beautiful animals you have there.
SCARY similarities, though! Good thing I have two dogs and not cats!

Udo, you caught my attention with your intro post as I also run marathons (Rio, Brazil last summer and Memphis 1/2 coming up in December), was SERIOUSLY thinking of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro this year (airfare was too much...maybe next year) and now this....I also own an Appaloosa! Her registered name is Saffron but we call her "Saffie." She is now three. Beautiful animals you have there.
SCARY similarities, though! Good thing I have two dogs and not cats!

I must say Udo, your command of English is most impressive! You are very well spoken.

Jacky is a crazy cat - she always waits until my wife has emptied her beer and then goes over to her to lick the last drops out of the bottle. But the cat is picky - she only drinks Pils - she doesn't like dark beer or Hefeweizen (that's what I drink!).

I like cats, don't get me wrong, but they do put me into serious respiratory distress. And cats seem to know who is allergic. My cousin's cat jumped up and nosed me, nose to nose one time and within 10 minutes I could not breath and my nose looked like roudolf.
