Rat-tat-patooie

Hey ya'll...

Well I must say, unless you have been hiding under a rock somewhere, you surely know of this awful food recall and pet food fiasco. Sarah and I are even more grateful than ever for our home-cooked meals! I know that the original idea of this blog was to share many of those recipes, but truth be told... our diet has been quite simplified!

Here is the permanent post for some healthy ideas - for home cooked and SAFE pet meals!

Home Pet Treats.com

Anyway, there was a cute little puppy named Pebbles (pictured at the right) on the news today that is struggling with the effects of the rat poison that was in all this condemned food. I put him in my prayers today and I hope you'll do the same!!

Here is the recall info if you should need it.

Gotta keep it short today... but PLEASE be careful what you feed us little fur balls! We can't choose for ourselves so we entrust you to have our best interests at heart!!

Love ya like the comfort of home cookin'...

A Stiff Breeze

Now ya'll KNOW that I love my big sister Sarah Basset, right? But I am here to tell you... that girl needed a grooming something FIERCE! She was stinkin' like Ann Coulter's judgement in appropriate public commentary!

So my dear beloved sis was carted off to the "Classy Critters" grooming emporium today. She came back smelling like a million bucks (and her talons had been filed back down to a proper length, girlfriend was lookin like she needed to move to Baltimore and start wearing crazy nail polish!)




As an otherwise uneventful day unfolds... I have been contemplating on a few topics. Can't really say any of them are interesting... but that is the great part of being a blogger - I can type it up anyway!

I have been saddened by this Anna Nicole business. I mean, if ever it was apparent that greedy people will stop at nothing to get a buck... do you believe all this business around custody and paternity and where to bury the poor woman's body? I hope that in her next incarnation she is able to find love and comfort that cannot possibly be tarnished by all this crazy money-grubbing that we've seen in her life. It just goes to show (yet again) why waste our life doing insane things for wealth and beauty... in the end we can't take a bit of it with us!

(Although I still encourage stinky Basset Hounds to get a good washing from time to time. That kind of attention to beauty is okay! But Playboy Centerfolds are almost condemned to a life that judges their outer form above all else.) Speaking of Playboy bunnies though... I have to say if I was human, and WAS a Bunny, I hope I'd be like that crazy Jenny McCarthy. She is a riot!! : )

Anyhow... I can't imagine anything I write today is going to tip any philosophical or psychological scales in the world... so let me end with this:

For all those people who say cats aren't direct spawn of Satan, I offer proof to the contrary (just kidding Maura and Tooky and all you cat lovers out there..) ! But can you Imagine getting their water bill?





Apparently these people had started getting outrageous water bills. They had the water company come check all their pipes and appliances and the meter. All to no avail. Then one day somebody stayed home sick from work and made the above revelation!

Well, off I go to nap some more.

Love ya'll like a royal flush in a friendly game of poker!
