A happy ending....

-

In case you haven't seen it, and want to start your year off with a heart warming story, the year end issue of Sports Illustrated had an update story on Michael {yick} Vick's dogs. In the end, 47 out of 51 were saved. It details several and their new happy homes. " Sweet Jasmine " is the one shown on the cover. I love a happy ending, and my respect and gratitude goes out to those who worked so hard to save these innocent little souls. I was so happy to see this, and had to read through, blurry tear filled eyes. I love it when things actually work out the way they should. The last photo was sent to me in an email - gotta love it !

    I'm also glad to hear that those dogs are getting the life they deserve. I do not understand the cruelty in some people's hearts - and I hope I never do.

    Thanks for stopping by my site! Hope to see you again soon!

    I love happy endings!

    I feel for animals who are in such horrible situations because human beings have put them there! All of my animals, with the exception of one, are rescued animals which make them that much more special. Thank you so much for sharing :-)

    Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah ended up with a lot of these dogs and they had a great article in their magazine this month, as well. It warms my heart to see that at least some of them will have a happy ending.

    What a wonderful story, thank you so much. I was horrified at the news about this whole thing. I am so glad to see a positive finale. God Bless all of the people who gave these poor dog's loving homes.

Belle Starr's Grave

" Well behaved women rarely make history." *** Her grave as it is today *** I made the trip to Eufaula Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago for a family get together. I was going to visit the grave site of Belle Starr on this trip, but read up on the burial location before going. The site is rather run down, on private property and on a dead end road. You have to rustle up the owners and tramp through an unkempt weedy trail. The original stone has been removed or is gone from what I understand, so I decided not to go. I find this disheartening, that a well known historical figure, albeit outlaw, from the old west does not have a more revered grave site. I think the sad fact is, most of the famous people we know from that time have also been left in obscure places and have faded away, forgotten. ***Her grave as it was originally*** Belle Starr was "The Bandit Queen," associated with Jesse James and the Youngers. She once made the comment to a newspaper reporter -" I ...

Amarillo by afternoon.....

Do you ever, on the spur of the moment hop in your vehicle and head to parts unknown ? This past Saturday my girlfriend and I did just that and headed west to Amarillo Texas. Neither of us knew what was there, and upon arriving decided "nothing" was. We looked for the old part of Amarillo, but just found the undesirable part of Amarillo. We were just about to turn around and head back home. We were hungry and a bit disappointed. We saw two policeman talking beside their vehicles so we pulled up and asked them where the "coolest " place in Amarillo was. One of them just laughed and the other looked up towards the sky with a grimace on his face. Meaning, there was no "coolest " place in Amarillo. He told us about the place where if you can eat the 72 ounce stak and all the fixins that come with it you get it free. Her and I put together weigh exactly 251 lbs and I don't eat meat. We explained we wanted the old part, the district with fun shops and the l...
