The ratt may be snuggled in someone's back pocket and got sat upon for all we know... he's probably enjoying it, too.

What a beautiful sunset...or is it a sun rise? The sunrise in Arizona that we used to see when we were on our way to Sky Harobr were just awesome...wasn't sure if it was good or bad at the time..The jagged peaks of the mountains and the red and orange in the background almost made it seem as if one were in hell..it was kinda spooky but beautiful all at the same time...

Perhaps this will be the final straw that will rile conservatives enough to fight back, if indeed there is anything left that we hold sacred.

You don't think he ran off and got hitched without telling all of us do you? Or maybe is in jail having been picked up for speeding by a Yankee cop? Hay MO..are the Philly cops looking for one Ratty from NC?

Speaking of conservatives finally getting in the fighting mood did you hear Rush the other day make just the same sort of remark? He was really frustrated at the Pubie politicians who just let the DAMS roll all over them with out finally putting the truth out..He said it is not hard to do..he does it every day...He has a point...the Trent Lotts make me want to scream...never strong vocal rebuttals against Dashole and Gephard and the other ilkys....

That's a sunset - last night I pulled off of the freeway twice to take pictures of it, it was so beautiful. Now I have dozens of sunset pictures that strangely look a lot alike. I wonder how that happened??

Yes, I did see your post on Missie. Just don't know what to say.....I've had no experience with it.

Ya know, CG....there's so much that is unknown with our critters...without them having the ability to tell us exactly how they feel or where they hurt, we're left to 'hunt and peck' through a list of symptoms and trying to treat those symptoms.

Autopsies, or necropsies, are fascinating to observe or take part in. Raising livestock, I always thought the most important animal was the one I had autopsied because it could provide some information about overall herd health.

My best friend and I did an autopsy on a small lamb one time....little motherless thing. Seemed to be doing pretty good with bottle feeding...but developed seizures. Vet gave me some medicine (started with a p, as I recall). For a couple of days that seemed ok....but then it was like she had one big seizure after another and just died.

Things were pretty tight financially at that time as Gene had gone on dialysis, but disability had not kicked in yet....so I called this best friend crying and she comes over and announces 'we' will do the autopsy and if we find something 'odd', she would run it in to the vet or call her vet about it anyhow.

While I never had a problem bringing a sick baby into my home, I knew Gene would draw the line at making any part of said home a 'coroner's office'. So we did it outside (this was late January-cold, snow on ground).

Considering the 'crude instruments' we had to use, we actually did very well! Thankfully, Diane had taken a number of biology and zoology classes in college.

While we didn't find what caused the seizures, we did find an anomally in the liver tissue--there were several oocysts. Diane talked with her vet and I can't remember what imedical condition it was indicative of.

Sometimes, friend, we can drive ourselves batty trying to figure out what went wrong....and our energy should be spent trying to maintain the health and wellbeing of the rest.

Missie's lucky to have you as her slave. :)
