O M G !!!! I can't believe you found my picture and posted it on here, JW!!! I didn't think anyone would recognize me that late night. Geesh ... a person can't go anywhere and not get their picture taken!!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
On a serious note, I did see a woman in Wal-Mart that, if I could have taken her picture without her knowing it, I would have posted it! Yep, about 500#, spandex leggings, purple writing on the butt that was soooooo stretched out you could not read it. And, of course, very low cut in front. There was lot of skin showing on this lady, and this was right before Christmas. Next time, I'll act like I'm texting and take the pic. Yikes!!!

For various wrong reasons the City Utility Billing office where Cathy works receives telephone calls from citizens about all sorts of problems. Monday, Cathy answered a call from a seeming frantic women who stated there were "wild animals" running in her yard. Normally Cathy would have forwarded the call to the City Action line but since the lady sounded so upset she decided to expedite matters by obtaining the necessary information to provide directly to Animal Control. From the lady's description it seemed there were three wild and most likely hungry Coyotes at her residence. Since Coyotes do attack people the police would also be notified. .The only other information needed was the address. When Cathy asked for her address the lady said "I'm not giving you my address that's private information." then quickly hung up!

Obviously the person failed to think about caller ID. Cathy simply forwarded all info including the telephone number to 911. I believe this citizen falls into the catagory of "stupid is as stupid does".

My cell phone would have taken a good pic, but I didn't want her to know I was taking her pic. Now I realize I could have left my phone shut, held it up a little to pretend I was reading it, and taken the pic. LOL It was a classic, let me tell you!
That lady, Lou, was either off her rocker, or lying. If she was lying, the police will deal with her! If she wasn't lying, then the Animal Control likely came to her rescue. :)
Really sad news this morning at my "ranch". Found my beloved Tarzan dead outside. He seemed to be very wet as well. Then I remembered last night, when the dogs came into the house, Yukon was covered in icicles, meaning I figured he had gotten very wet. Well, now I'm wondering if Tarzan walked on the ice on the pond to get a drink of water, fell in, and Yukon went in to get him and also fell in. I can't even tell you how many animals have died here since I bought this house. It seems to never end, sadly.
Then, to add to the sad feeling, my goldfish pond was "still", no water running. Found the electric cord was unplugged. Turned everything back on, but had to first thaw a hole in the ice so the water could push through it (from the bubbler), and drain back down into it (from the stream). Makes going on vacation all the sweeter, need to get away for a while. Sunshine, thank you for coming out to make my morning a little brighter!

Oh my Dearest CE, that is just terrible! I feel very bad for you, I would be lost without my Poppy! I could not sleep without my fat PoPPy! She is all I have, and her brother Bear, and my sweet hubby. Have your dogs gone on the ice before? My puppies drink from my pond all the time, but the ponds are built up and dug down, so they just have to walk wound the outside and have a drink. Their is always an open hole cause of the heater and they just stick their head in and have a drink.

Going to keep an extra close eye on those puppies, I would be a large mess if anything like that happen to my "puppy children"! I don't even go on vacation cause I can't leave the "kids" cause I AM SO darn needy! .... going for Poppy "snuggle therapy" after reading that sad sad story.... hope things get better for you CE.... :(

A lonely woman, aged 70, decided that it was time to get married. She put an ad in the local paper that read:

HUSBAND WANTED! MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's), MUST NOT BEAT ME, MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME, AND MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED! ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON. ... On the second day she heard the doorbell. ...Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray- haired gentleman with no arms or legs sitting in a wheelchair.

The old woman said, "You're not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just look at you ... you have no legs!" The old man smiled, "Therefore I cannot run around on you!"

She snorted. "You don't have any hands either!"

Again the old man smiled, "Nor can I beat you!"

She raised an eyebrow and gazed intently. "Are you still good in bed?" With that, the old gentleman leaned back, beamed a big broad smile and said, "I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"

Awful sad CE and you have had too many tragedies for one person to bear w/ your animals. Yes get away for awhile and enjoy yourself. Thinking good thoughts for your future and hope the rest of your gang of critters are more careful in the new year and on.
