GOOD NEWS!
I don't know about you but I don't like all the bad news you see and hear about everywhere. O.K., so I admit I'm an optimist, and I know bad things happen. But good things happen too! So I'm going to use this page to highlight some of those good things, particularly relating to dogs, because they are my favorite animals. And chances are, if you are here, you love dogs too. I hope this page warms your heart, and if you have any stories, comments or suggestions, I would love to hear and publish them on my website.

The N.Y. Turtle Mugging
Did you hear about the turtle who got mugged by a couple of snails? When the animal police asked if he could identify them in a line up he said "I don't know, it all happened so fast!"
The Talking Dog
A man walks into a bar with his dog and sits down at the counter. "Hey" the bartender warns him, "No dogs allowed!"
"Ahh, but this isn't just ANY dog" the man responds, "this talk can speak english! Just set me up with a scotch on the rocks and I'll prove it."
The ill-tempered bartender thinks to himself that it might be worth a drink to see what the man's going to do, so he gives him his drink and says "Allright, let's hear your dog speak."
"Fido" the man asks, pointing up "what is it that's above our heads?" "Rrrrroooof!" the dog responds. "That's right!" his owner says "a roof!"
"Now that's just stupid" the bartender says, "I can't believe I fell for that."
"Wait now" the man says, "Fido's just getting warmed up. There's more, and I'll show you for another drink."
"It had better be good or you're outta here!" the bartender exclaims gruffly, setting him up one last time against his better judgement.
"Fido" says the dog's owner, "who was the home run king of baseball for years and years?" "Rrrooooof!" the dog barks out. "Right!" the man says, "RUTH! Babe Ruth!"
The aggravated bartender takes the man by the collar with his dog and roughly throws them both out onto the street. Getting up and dusting himself off, the man says to the dog "Well, I hope you're happy, Fido, now look what you've done! Staring up at him, the dog asks "DiMaggio?"
"Ahh, but this isn't just ANY dog" the man responds, "this talk can speak english! Just set me up with a scotch on the rocks and I'll prove it."

LUCKY DOG!
This is a picture of "Cami" and she is one lucky pup, as you'll soon see in this stranger-than-fiction true story of an incident that took place the other day just one town over from where I live.
It all started when Darlene Broom's husband thought he might be having a heart attack. She called 911, the ambulance came, loaded him up and headed to the hospital with Darlene following the ambulance in her car.
But as she was driving, she kept hearing a strange "whining" sound from the engine compartment. What an awful time to have car trouble! As the whine changed to what sounded like first crying and then screaming, she knew that she had to pull over and check it out.
Darlene wasn't even slightly prepared for what she saw when she lifted the hood: there was a little black fur ball with two eyes looking up at her, whimpering and desperate for help, wedged between the transmission housing and air filter compartment!
They found out later that someone had abandoned five baby puppies near their home and that they had somehow found their way under her car. This one, who they called "Lucky" had managed to climb up and get stuck.
Darlene desperately waved her arms at passing motorists, and as luck would have it, a county worker named Matt Baxley pulled over to help. And help he did! He disassembled the parts necessary to remove the puppy, then kept the puppy as Darlene continued to the hospital.
Matt took Lucky to the vet and had it treated for a burn on it's belly. The vet thought it was a lab mix, only about six weeks old. But the story doesn't quite end here. It turns out that the daughter of the owner of an auto repair business next to where Baxley works has a 22 year old daughter. And you guessed it, she was looking for a puppy to love!
Well, Lucky is now called "Cami" but no one will forget the kindness of the people involved and how lucky Cami really was that day. And one final note: Darlene's husband was fine too.
George really loved his faithful friend, so when Spot died he approached the preacher at his southern baptist church about having a funeral and gravesite burial service for him.
"We can't do that" the preacher said, "Spot is a dog!"
"Well I have one thousand dollars set aside to put Spot to rest" George replied, "And I'm going to see to it that he has a proper send-off."
"One thousand dollars?" the preacher responded, "Well, why didn't you tell me Spot was a baptist?!"
