    Why did I get two chocolate labs? I really don't know. They were brothers and they looked so cute playing and rough housing together...now they play and rough house all over my house. I had to put one in his cage and hold the other in my legs to get them to stand still for these. They're 3 1/2 months old and in a year I'm going to have two monsters on my hands. Jake (the runt of the litter) is going to be 85 lbs and will be a good hunting dog. Bear is going to be 100lbs, but will make a nice house dog--just seems to struggle with running and jumping and doesn't bark much at all.

    What was I thinking?

      Growing up, I hated dogs. On my newspaper routes, I got bitten by so many, I lost count. Between 6th grade and 12th grade, I had 5 tetanus shots! I thought they were good for 10 years! But then, I read something that changed my mind: If God were to withdraw all of his gifts from the world (including Man's mastery over the beasts) and Mankind re-entered the food chain on a lower level, only two animals would remain faithful to him: the cow (which is too stupid to do anything else, so it's more indifference) and the dog--Man's real BFF. It took a while, but I gradually changed my 'tude on the matter.

        They'll be work, but they'll bring happiness too. Good for you!

          There really is no better friend than a good dog.

              Good point., Mr. Woot. And they are so accepting of their fate! No hard feelings. But I keep thinking of the faithful Kojak in The Stand...

                Until it all goes ---- horribly wrong

                Fat and docile, big and dumb
                They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
                Cows aren't fun

                They eat to grow, they grow to die
                They die to be eat at the hamburger fry
                Cows well done

                Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
                No one imagined the great cow guru
                Cows are one

                He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
                He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
                Cow Tse Tongue

                He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
                He felt like an outcast, alone, in the herd.
                Cow doldrums

                He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
                Cows gathered around, cause the stakes were so high
                Bad cow pun

                But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate
                Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate
                Cows are bummed

                He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
                No one suspected he was packing Uzi
                Cows with guns

                They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
                He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye
                Cow well hung

                Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
                Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
                Run cows run!

                He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
                We are free roving bovines, we run free today

                We will fight for bovine freedom
                And hold our large heads high
                We will run free with the Buffalo, or die...
                Cows with guns

                They crashed the gate in a great stampede
                Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed
                Cows have fun

                Sixty police cars were piled in a heap
                Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
                Much cow dump

                Black smoke rising, darkening the day
                Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way

                We will fight for bovine freedom
                And hold our large heads high
                We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
                Cows with guns

                The President said "Enough is Enough!
                These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
                Cow dung flung

                The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
                Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
                Cows on buns

                The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
                They mooed their last moos,
                they chewed their last hay
                Cows out gunned

                The order was given, turn cows to whoppers
                Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
                But on the horizon, surrounding the shoppers
                Came the deafening roar, of chickens, in choppers!

                We will fight for bovine freedom
                And hold our large heads high
                We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
                Cows with guns

                  Where do you come up with this stuff, Mr. Woot? I thought in OZ, all there was was "The Man from Snowy River", "Waltzing Matilda", and the that quote from Dorthy Mackellar. Versewise.

                      So obviously my knwledge of Australian verse is limited.

                                Very nice, Squire. The first time anyone has ever framed a story of mine, I believe.
