Amen my friend! Let the gates of heaven be garded by the Canine, as there will be many who will not make it. To be judged  by an animal who naturally knows no hate, is to be judged by purity. If you fail to pass the gait, you must me an ass. LOL

		No "thanks" are necessary and I haven't really even mentioned it because I think it is just doing what is right. As you could imagine, here in rural TN, many do NOT treat animals well. I'd say "most" but don't mean to condescend (although it really SEEMS so). I have had idiots throw puppies out of moving trucks while I am walking my dogs and they barely slow down. 20MPH? I had my next door neighbor threaten to shoot (with a pistol, mind you) a dog I was feeding because it was some sort of "threat." When I say "humane society" that is not really true. It is two sisters who own a big farm and are also sick of this sort of attitude. They have taken in hundreds if not thousands of animals and need both physical as well as economic help. Nina, my rat terrier, had a previous owner that kept her in a freakin' cat carrier all day, FFS!! Of course, all are good "church goin' Baptists" but don't get me started there. My only hope is that the gates of Heaven are held by an animal....      spapad wrote: Saint Guido! I love it, and don't doubt it! Congrats!      guidogodoy wrote: Oh KEWL!

Yeah animals rock!  I have a 12 year old cat that looks like a  "wolf"  named "Oscar"!!   My old roommate abandoned him at 3 months old...

so I took him in and later on ,he developed "asthma"....I've been pilling him for years on prednisone(spelling?) to help with his asthma...

and from being on the pills...since November of 2008...he developed "diabetes" from being on steriods(predisone)...so I have to give him

a insulin injection once every 12 hours....it sounds like a pain in the ass but really its just another quick step at medicating him since he

already has to take the pills anyways....he has a total quality of life..if you saw him you would never know he was sick from this......

so thats why I haven't   "put him down"....he still is kickin it so I am his "servant" lol!!!  He takes his lumps very well for an animal that

is this heavy medicated.......and this cat eats like a "dog" no doubt.....many have said he could easily out eat a small dog!!! LOL!!
