Hi Wolf, On the San Diego local news,
a plane load of cats and dogs from the La. area
in carriers brought here to centers for medical help.

Also a few days ago several folks from the various
Human Societies and other agencies here left in trailers
to help pets in the flood areas

[Wolfstar]

Thanks so much for the pics...

You're so very welcome.

See the interesting conversations I miss by noy coming to the DOSE mre often :o)

Patriot Day. I like it.

I do, too.

Stategery. Nagin is much harder on Blanco than the President. Blanco is an impediment to success...Nagin would like to be successful.

So...you pick your battles and get the job done.

Plus, honestly, Nagin is more likable than either Blanco or Landrieu. Ick.

Hi, Theresa.

[Txsleuth]

I haven't even gotten through the first part of the Talk Show thread...it is a LONG thread today...

BUT, one thing I did see, when I first got to FR, was a thread on the article that Evan Thomas wrote for Newsweek...Did you happen to see the thread, and read the article...????

It has gotten me more upset than the screaming dems have in the Congress....

It is about how supposedly, behind closed doors, Bush is TOTALLY different than we see....really hard to work for, and his employees are AFRAID of him...????? I just cannot believe it...but, where does this come from???

Then, I see on this thead...pictures of him taking MORE time with the flight crews...than the brass...Thomas makes it sound like he does that "ALL FOR SHOW"..

sigh....sigh...(praying it isn't so)...sigh

I was pleased to see that the VP looked OK after seeing the photos of him yesterday looking very tired. I am certain Lynne has been a great source of comfort to him I noticed he touched the small of her back about 4 times when they there were walking to and from the White House which is unusual for him to show that amount of affection in public.

[Wolfstar]

How Bush can even talk to Nagin after all that he has said about him...is beyond me...

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, GWB doesn't have much choice, although he did a great job of ignoring Nagin for several minutes. That alone made me happy. Along with witnessing a live rescue of a frightened dog in NO by my very own Los Angeles Search and Rescue, and seeing the Dallas Cowboys win their opening game, this is the happiest day I've had in awhile.

I wouldn't last long in politics..LOL

I saw a very sweet picture in the local paper of a man reunited with his little dog he had been separated from during the hurricane. I believe the dog's name was Prettyface. He was an older looking gentleman, and he was holding his little dog to his cheek. It was one of those "awwwwww" moments!

[pollyannaish]

Are you saying that hard work and stick-to-itiveness creates success? What are you, some kind of whacko? ; )

The day I earn a snugs special toaster...I am printing it out and putting it up on my refrigerator. My kids art does not even get a place on the fridge. My fridge is free of all detritus. But a toaster....well, a toaster is different!

Hope you're having a wonderful day snugs!

We are happy to see the dose whenever it may appear. I want to say something about which I have made an annoyance of myself saying elsewhere in FR today. America did a great job faced with this unprecedented storm and the horrid imcompetence of the locals in Louisiana. Thank you Coast Guard, thank you locals. thank you NG, thank you first responders. Thank you New York and California and Texas and all who helped. Thank you.

[Wolfstar]

Another, thank goodness for small miracles.

Ain't that the truth. But I suspect Blanco and GWB will not be seen together again unless there is no choice for either party.

[RasterMaster]

Thanks!

[snugs]

What a wonderful little aside showing the humanity of the President.

Hi Pippin...

I'm just an hour south of Toronto, just outside Hamilton, Ontario.

I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I spent the next week going back and forth from stunned silence to just weeping and weeping for your country.

I became American in my heart that day, and have never wavered in my support for your nation, your president and the mission.

God bless you all, and God bless your wonderful president. Never has one human been so relentlessly attacked. It is shameful.

Evening, Wolfstar. Thanks for the Dose :)

Anyone remember that old cartoon with the two dogs?

The smaller dog is jumping around, trying to impress the big dog, but the big dog doesn't care--he just pushes the little one out of the way and keeps on walking. This photo reminds me of that.
