JW, that was priceless! I was sitting here in my recliner, laptop on my lap, Boston in her spot next to me in the chair, and had to turn the volume way down, and she STILL heard it and cocked her head to listen. When that pup started squealing, I was laughing so hard, woke the other dogs up. LOL Priceless!!! That cat didn't even touch the dog, but don't you know it has in the past! My dogs will yelp when the "killer cat" goes after them, as he has clawed them all, and they know how it hurts! Poor pup .... :)

I haven't been keeping up on the trial but after reading this he sure sounds nuts to me no matter what he says his motives were:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Behring_Breivik

Lots of sicko's in this world and I think they are all nuts and all need locked up or eliminated! Just can't have all these freaks running around. What I wonder is how do they make it to adult hood w/o getting found out how nuts they really are sooner?

I DO NOT condone what he done and the killing of 76 people is wrong, however i can understand some of his motives tho he has taken them to the extreme, personaly i dont believe he was or is crimanaly insane, i belive he is perfectly sane and very inteligent, the fact that he planned this for 8 years says alot, infact i believe he thaught past the acts and planned the court case, he clearly wanted to be taken alive and put on trial, he phoned the police and surrendered giving the police his full name and putting down his arms, i have been following the case closely, recieving live updates from the court room via twitter, only cos i think this must be the 1st court case of its kind, and i am intrigued as to how it unfolds, he accepts responsibility for everything that happened, yet he states he would do it all again, yet he claims he was acting in defence of norways future, and his acts was for the good of norway and its future generations, the case isnt about proving his guilt more about deciding whether he was sane or not, he claims he is and always has been sane, prosicution is trying to prove he is insane, he belives that the current trend in immigration and norways political stance on multiculturism will eventually take over norway (and the rest of europe), he didnt go out and kill muslims as he says it is not there fault, but lays the entire blame on the political parties, that is why he picked his targets, now i have thaught about this intensively, and personaly i believe that multi culturism CAN work, but only if it is controled and limited, here in uk the percentage of ethnic minorities is increasing tenfold, in parts of london there is signs saying "you are now entering a sharia law area" so they are now enforcing there own laws in our country, ime sure the US has its own problems with border jumpers, so it does need control so all sides can live amoungs each other happily without friction, with current patterns of immigration is it possable that in years to come they will be the majority and we the minority ?? it provokes thaught, yet i myself dont see myself as a racist person sometimes sectors of these ethnic groups can spark racism, for example when islamic extremists stand on our streets and burn our flags and burn poppies, preaching hatred to our people, if they dislike our country so much why do they stay here, intrestingly anders brievic is calling islamic extremists as some of his witnesses in his defence, so please dont think that i am praising him, i am not, and i definatly dont condone what he has done, i am just explaining why i find the case so intriguing and my personal opinion on the matter.

Mogsie, keep us posted! Sounds like you have a real handle on what is going on with that trial!
After seeing your funny video this a.m., JW, I swear I had a similar situation this evening with the "mean" cat, Ernie, and the beagle, Smokey. Ernie probably snuck up on Smokey in the tall grass in the pasture, surprised Smokey, so started running and yelping. Once he was running, Ernie simply ran after him. Not fast, just running. Smokey stopped once and hunkered down, still yelping, and Ernie came up, slapped him once, which got Smokey running again. It was quite funny, but poor Smokey. He's such a woos! LOL I told Ernie to go to the barn with the other cats. He has claws, and uses them, only against the dogs, it seems. Mean cat. The other dogs are not afraid of him, and so he doesn't pester them, but Ernie sure has the bluff on Smokey.

want to hear something good well I was home this morning and was in the basement and my truck I had pulled up beside the guest house and I heard a noise but did not look but 20 minutes later a load bang of metal and decided to see what it was, well there was a truck on my side yard and he was taking all my stuff bird houses ,benches ,swing ,metal tubs and anything that was not tied down .I called the police and went to face the guys and they said they were hired to remove all the stuff from the yard and cops got here and ended up arresting them .I did not hire them why would I ,geeze .How brazen can you be ,They even pushed my ride on mower over to load it and had my lawn cart .Good gosh daylight robbers what is next .They told the cops they were hire by the owner well guess what I'm the owner ,If I had not come out to look where the noise was coming from ,I would have lost a lot of stuff .They said they were told the house was going into foreclosure and no one lives here .Now the cops get to sort this whole thing out .I will prosecute no matter what .

Good gosh sissy that is the craziest thing I have ever heard! You must prosecute and I mean the boldness of these slobs is ridiculous! You are brave to go out and face them like that tho. They could have hurt you. Glad the cops got there fast and arrested them. Let us know how this turns out and hope they stay in jail forever..........which of course they won't.............darn legal system!

I had my cell phone and there are 3 state police officers who live on my road and when they heard the call they came fast because one was right down on Hwy. 58 she got here the fastest .I signed the papers and then had to sit here and wait for the tow truck driver to get here .I got my stuff off and there was other stuff on the truck I told the cop it was not mine so they must have hit another house too .They had a push mower ,2 trimmers and 4 gas cans full of gas and a tool box and some other stuff .Funny thing if they had done it yesterday I would not have been home because I had to go grocery shopping and run errands

wow sissy, you need a camera system, then at least you could glance at a tv and see what is going on. They also will send alerts to your phone if you want it to. We have no real concerns here, a 200 foot drive in past two neighbors to our house and that is the only way back out. Also on a dead end road in a small rural neighborhood.

Holy camolie! That is brazen to be sure! The fact they had other people's stuff, what, there were 2 houses in foreclosure in the neighborhood? Obviously they have their system down pat and have gotten away with it in the past! I sure hope those cops hit them up for anything and everything and throw the book at them. What hoodlums! Geesh! I'm soooo glad you were home. That saved you so much heartache from all the losses. No telling what else they would have taken besides what they were already loading up!

I'm on a rural road and it dead ends also but ways past my house .The road is only 3.2 miles long and my house sits in the middle up on a hill in public view and cops live on this road .There are no houses on the road in foreclosure either ,5 are up for sale .I wish I could get a camera ,it would be a bear to run it as part of the property is blocked by the trees in my side yard .Funny thing is where they were parked the trees covered them ,I heard the engine of the truck .They came up my neighbors driveway and drove across her lawn to get to my house .Her boyfriend is a thief and I would not have put it past him to know these people and funny thing is she works for a prison here as a guard and I told the cops all that also .He knows when I come and go and you could not see my truck from her house where I parked it and he was not home .Strange since he is there most days because he does not work .Seemed a little odd to the cops too .What a way to live and may have to put out money for a camera and try to figure it out .What has our world come too .
