Cheney got his heart from

Breitbart.

Pol Pot's wasn't available and Liz wouldn't give hers up.
They are the only ones that won't be rejected.
It's all a cover anyway to make him seem human. He has never had a heart.

I've never been hurt by anyone wearing a hoodie, but I've been destroyed by white men in suits with briefcases, & so has America.


Suits, especially black ones, make me nervous.

Priests Starving Feral Cats In NYC

Pope Benedict XVI is a prominent cat lover who has lovingly tended to feral colonies in his day and has defended the care of feral cats on Vatican property.

He’d be appalled at what’s happening right now at St James Church in lower Manhattan.
Father Lino Gonsalves and Father Walter Tonelotto have locked out caretakers who have tended to the church’s feral cat colony for years in an effort to starve the cats off church property.

Every cat in the colony is neutered and vaccinated per Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) guidelines, the only proven effective and humane method for managing feral cat populations. The priests refuse to meet with the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals to discuss any plans for the cats’ care even though caretakers have expressed their willingness to address concerns the priests may have for hygiene or security.

In recent weeks the incendiary situation has heated up, with one groundskeeper hinting that the cats would be poisoned and rescuers arrested for trespassing. The cats have gone more than two weeks without food.

Have those ASSHOLES ever heard of St. Francis of Asissi?

One of the animal rescue groups is having a meeting with them. It has turned into a huge kerfuffle

Lower Swatara Township Church's Mock Raid Draws Criticism

The men burst into the church classroom and ordered the 15 teens in the youth group to the floor.
<snip>
They covered the teens’ heads with pillow cases and bound their hands. One man waved an unloaded gun, while another yelled, his face daubed with camouflage paint.
<snip>
Instead, they found themselves face down, hugging the linoleum floor, said the Rev. John Lanza, who described what happened. If they listened, they wouldn’t get hurt, their assailants said.
<snip>
After bursting in on the youth group without warning, the raiders prodded the hooded kids into a church van and drove across the parking lot to the pastor’s house.
    
They led the teens through the garage, past the pastor’s motorcycle with crucifixes painted on its gas tank to an interrogation room in a dark corner of the musty basement.
    
Dust and loose insulation covered the floor beneath a single-bulb painter’s light suspended from the ceiling. It illuminated a lone chair.
    
The men questioned each teen for 30 seconds in the room, raising their voices to invoke fear, before releasing them, Lanza said.

They can try to justify this with whatever excuse they can dream up. They only wanted to play soldier or cop or something.

DUMBASSES!

Tee-tiny 4oz puppeh named Beyonce:

This tiny little girl was born on March 8th and was so small that she could fit into a spoon. Her mother, Casey, is a very young Dachshund mix that was rescued from Devore Animal Control after being abandoned by her previous owner. By the time Casey was abandoned she was too far along to be spayed so Devore Animal Control contacted Grace and asked us to take her in.

So, in the early hours of March 3, one of our wonderful volunteers met a transport for Devore Animal Control on their way to deliver dogs to Oregon and picked up Casey and two Chihuahua mixes. When she arrived at the ranch, she was very far along and so big that we were worried she might not be able to deliver safely on her own. Casey was taken to Blue Ravine Animal Hospital where she was given an ultrasound. They found that she was pregnant with 5 puppies, one of which was abnormally small. They also determined that she is under a year old and this was probably her first heat.

Casey delivered her puppies in the late hours of March 8th. Beyoncé was the last of the five puppies to be born. At birth she was not breathing and had no heartbeat. Luckily, Dr. Michael Russell, who is mainly a large animal veterinarian, was standing by. He performed heart compressions and was able to get her heart started. Although her heart was now beating strong, Beyoncé was still not breathing. Beth DeCaprio, Founder and Executive Director at Grace and foster mom to Casey, quickly stepped in to give little Beyoncé mouth-to-mouth and was able to get her breathing normally.

Casey and the 4 other puppies are doing great. Beyoncé is unusually small for a puppy of almost one week, but despite her rough start to life, she is normal in every other way. Because of her small size Beyoncé needs to be bottle fed every hour because her mouth is still too small to be able to nurse properly.

Shelter dog saves teen from attack by registered sexual offender

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A St. Petersburg dog is being called a hero for helping to save a 17-year-old girl from an attack. The teen was volunteering for the Friends of Strays animal shelter on a Saturday afternoon, a few weeks ago.

As she walked down a path behind the building with Mabeline, a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, the girl was attacked. County deputies say Michael Bacon, a registered sexual predator, chased her down, grabbed her by the hair, then pinned her down.

The teen couldn't get loose, but the 38-pound dog did, scaring the attacker off, and allowing the girl to escape.

"To see something like that happen, it's just unfathomable," said Donna Thomas, from Friends of Strays, adding they've never had any problems before. "...a dog, its bark, its growl, and defending its owner, is always a deterrent."

Yay Mabeline!

Sentences should be much longer for repeat offenders. They can't be cured. In addition,if they are released, they are the parolees that should be given top priority. These are the criminals who should be filling the jails instead of drug users.

Chuck the Pup greets his buddy who is home from Afghanistan (for a very early, or very late, smile)


To say that our boxer, Chuck, was excited to see him come home is an understatement. (And if you're wondering why it says "again" it is because we went through this a year ago as well. That video is also posted.)

That is one happy puppeh!
Everybody needs somebody who will miss us this much. I smiled the whole time.
