Little Miss Melanoma -- I know somebody like that...

and she's also a total whack job. 

The gulls down here are accustomed to being fed.  Besides, once you are done with your stale bread eventually they go away.  LMM was definitely the psycho in this scenario, Imho.  I think it's kind of fun to watch them catch it in mid air.

I'm so glad she's doing better - poor baby has been through a lot.  It sounds like she's already endearing herself to you and your family and perhaps she's realizing she finally has a permanent and good home!  Good for you for taking such good care of her !! 

If only we could vacation there via a time machine...LOL.

I didn't miss your point.  I'm just saying it's ridiculous for people to be so worried about what other people do and someone else's "morals."  I personally don't care if another woman or man has had sex with 100 different people if that's what they want to do and that's what right for them, and neither should anyone else.  It's not like other woman are using your body to do the deed with someone, so what do you care? 

As far as men go, a lot don't much care in this day and age how many partners their girlfriend or wife have had.  In fact, I know a few men who prefer it if their significant other is more experienced, know what they want, etc.  Besides, most men are way worse than women are in that department as far as number of partners.  Unfortunately, some people are still holding up the double standard that woman are easy if they sleep with multiple men and men are studs if they do it. 

A lot of people (mostly other women) have forgotten that women have equal rights and can do anything they want with their own bodies and don't have to be ashamed of such.  It's a free country after all, but for some reason people are still finding sex taboo or bad (or anything related to pleasure or feeling good in anyway for that matter).  It might not be right for you, and no one is telling you that you have to do it, but if it works for someone else, what's so wrong with that? 

So my lovely dog Miss Lily, who can't be more than 6 inches from me at all times, stepped on the back of my pajamas when we were walking down the stairs and I fell down a few of them.  I broke my toe, just a hairline fracture, and it HURTS!  That'll teach me to wear pajamas that are remotely baggy lol.

*This concludes my pity party*

Your poor pup has really been through the ringer with health issues.  I hope she gets better soon for ALL your sakes!  Keep us posted, sending prayers . . . .

I guess I can watch the rest of American Idol, now.  But it's just not the same.

Hope you can see this picture and story. She was the dog featured on my letter from the ASPCA.

Poor Poodle; Amazing Arrest

Last Tuesday, ASPCA Special Agent Debbie Ryan arrested Diana Elias, 52, at her home on East 122nd Street, New York City, on misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty. Following up on an anonymous complaint, Agent Ryan discovered Elias’s six-year-old miniature poodle, Miss Bea, in a closet, encased in a solid cocoon of matted hair laden with urine, feces and filth. Long-term lack of grooming and exercise had rendered Miss Bea unable to stand or walk; she was also suffering from an ear infection and nails so overgrown that they curled around and pierced the skin on her paw pads. Vets at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital (BMAH) removed three pounds of knotted hair—one-third of the dog’s total body weight.

“This was an extreme case of neglect, one that didn’t happen overnight,” says Dr. Robert Reisman, ASPCA Medical Coordinator of Animal Abuse Cases. “The muscles in Miss Bea's front legs had atrophied due to non-use, and her carpal joints—the equivalent of wrists in humans—became extended to compensate for her immobility. It took at least four months for her to reach this state.”

While Elias, charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty, faces up to one year in jail and/or a $2,000 fine, Miss Bea is getting her second chance at life and love. After completing medical treatment at BMAH, including spay surgery and a thorough grooming, she was made available for adoption. On February 14, her new parents, Gabrielle and Giovanna Sorci, came all the way from Pennsylvania to adopt the little white dog and give her the love and nurturing she deserves—a true Valentine’s Day success story!

**REPOST BY MODERATOR**

Miss Lily is getting more and more dog aggressive the better she feels.  We've had incidents of her attacking with 4 dogs so for, my neighbor's dog and my siblings dogs.  My cats are fed up with her and are fighting back instead of running so that seems to be keeping her in a check a bit more.  We have a dog trainer coming over tomorrow to help me with her. 

Her knee is still swelling occasionally but the NSAIDs seem to be helping.  She's on special food for dogs with allergies now to see if that will help with the itching.
