This is just silly

[Poboy kartman]

So I was sitting here thinking- and this is kinda funny. ...When Sammy was at the vets recently recovering from a urinary blockage they put a water bowl on top of a box for him to drink out of. They said he couldn't hold his head right to drink out of it on the bottom of the cage.

So it made me think. ....I had a couple of snakes that ate goldfish so I had some in a goldfish bowl and Sammy preferred that fish flavored water so after I got rid of the snakes I just made the fishbowl Sammys water bowl. So between it and the toilet -he really wasn't used to drinking water at ground level.

No point here- just silly- like Sammy:

You want to see something silly. Here is one of our one dog sitting on the other. We don't have the tan colour dog anymore. LOL

I had a funny pic of our cat stretched out like yours sleeping, but I can't find it at the moment

I was getting ready to grill some shrimp a couple of hours ago and I went out to the smoker to get my little screen thing that keeps the shrimp from falling through the grate and when I grabbed it something moved right next to it. So I look and here's a full grown possum just looking at me. I spoke to him and he just looked at me like he was my dog or something.

Are you sure?

Are you sure it was an opossum? With all the drones and surveillance rigs that the conspiracy crowd are reporting, it might have had tank tracks instead of legs and feet....

Here are 2 pics of our cat. He likes to sleep in weird positions and in the stupidest places. Here he is on the TV in our room.

In fact that's the BEST place for a cat...
He has a window (also known as cat tv)
and he has a heat source for a comfy nap (the actual tv)

I get his idea

I thought this was pretty silly.... the other day at a stoplight, this guy pulled up to me.

What do you do when you don't give a crap about your sports car anymore? Turn it into a truck by smashing out the back window, and haul stuff with it

We have a cat that has several times decided the sink was a great place to take a nap. Never mind the fact the water was running slightly. He is retarded. he is retarded and he knows it lol. Just the look on his face... He also fetches milk rings.

Cool cat.

I'll never understand why some people call a german mastiff a "great dane"..
it's tall alright, but it's as danish as Häagen-Dazs.

'Sid, I refuse to say you're wrong because you're probably 100% correct: but do you realize just how many generations of children in North America have grown up with "Marmaduke" the "Great Dane"?

And I'm one of them....

I know Marmaduke,
But I just don't get it...
Even german's sometimes call the dog a "Dänische Dogge" (danish mastiff)
There is no such thing as a danish mastiff...
I don't understand the reasoning for such "renaming" *shrugs*

Someone told me that's because after WWII people refused to have anything german in the UK or the US, but they loved the dogs nevertheless.. so because Dutch was still too close they took the next best country with D: Denmark...
And it was easier to sell them being danish;

That sounds plausible at first, but everywhere around the world
there was still THE german dog to find... a german sheppard.
Never a problem, never a doubt; should have followed the very same reasoning I think; but it was always german and no one cared.

Anyways, a great dog (not only as in tall)
They just have ONE major problem:
They unfortunately don't get very old.

Hmmmmmm- Great Dane.....German Mastiff.....Great Dane.....German Mastiff????? Both have their good points, but with just a little manipulation- one sounds like what I wake up with after getting lucky and (being of German descent) the other when I don't.

A quickie about the possums- I put the bones from the turkey I smoked out for the possums and I realized that Sammy wasn't eating much. ....so the possums weren't the only ones snacking on them! Which jogged a couple of memories. We used to feed a couple of wild cats outside. One time I saw one of the cats eating out of one side of a bowl of cat food and a possum eating out of the other.

Then my wife used to feed one particularly skittish wild cat out by the pond. She filled the bowl and then sat down to have a smoke and watch the fish. The bowl was almost at her feet. She said in the space of a matter of minutes she heard "crunch crunch crunch" and looked down to see a young possum enjoying his usual evening meal!!!

Crazy lives here. .... Tuesdays forecast is a high of 79°f. while Thursday has a chance of freezing rain. The official earthquake count in this area is now 19 for the month of November. In the next few days they will be checking 2 area lakes for damage to the dams.

Saturday night I was outside and heard an explosion. I could tell it was a good sized one and figured it was several blocks away. Turns out it was a basement propane explosion 30 miles away that turned a 3000 sq. ft. home into toothpicks and instantly killed the one occupant.

Ahh, the Great Lakes State, the State of Michigan: almost 0% chance of hurricanes, a low chance of tornado's (when you're considered the low probability end of Tornado Alley, does that mean you're actually safe?), and the closest earthquake on record was the last big one down in New Madrid..... Oh, wait; wasn't the big one in New Madrid about the same size as what hit Japan in '11???

Maybe I need to rethink this a little....

Ok- so I come in and Sammy (my cat) is sitting on the living room floor licking his paws and looking a little guilty. I reach down for something next tothe recliner and he's right there nosing around.

Now I'm starting to put 2 and 2 together and this is where it gets funny. I had been eating some sardines earlier and realized that there was a bite missing. I put the plate down and Sammy went to town. The funny thing is I have never got on to him about eating my food- so he made his own rules about daddy's food and then broke them. And then felt guilty. ....I swear, you can't make this stuff up and if you did- nobody would believe it.

On another thread here recently, the topic got sidetracked into someone's canine digestive processes; do we have to worry about that here?

 

[itsid]

No, I think Doug will get a dead mouse in return within a few days

A few nights ago, I wake up needing to go to the bathroom. I open the bedroom door, and in the passage right by our door is a mouse.....in 3 pieces. It was NOT pretty..

It could be worse. Here on the farm when I was growing up, one of our feed dealers gave us a couple of industrial grade wind up mouse traps. My Dad read the instructions, and used the last of my brother and I's peanut butter (Mom didn't get paid/ go grocery shopping until the next day) to bait the traps. (Did I mention there were three or four of them?)

The next morning. The first trap should have been right in front of the door to the farrowing barn. It isn't. The full graphics aren't family friendly. Lets just say that a spring loaded live trap that was designed to humanely catch about two dozen mice will jam and fail at around the five dozen mark. What it took for them to move that trap about eight feet away......

Now imagine you'd have a german mastiff ...

that wouldn't be a mouse but a small car
