Re: Pet Peeves

Can I add another? The fact that there are puppy mills, and nobody seems to give a damn. (Yes, I'm watching Nightline). I give a damn, too.......animal abuse takes many forms. 8 of our 10 pets are rescue animals. (We had to buy the rescue rat two friends.) That's the only way I chose an animal anym...

Re: Any Big Love fans?

The last two seasons have been great. I don't think all Polygmist are like those from the compounds. However, I can't be sure since I don't know any, and I am not going to judge by what "20/20" tells me. what I saw wasn't on 20/20, to be sure, because that's regular commercial television,...

Re: Say goodbye to my dog Scamp......

I am so sorry for your loss and feel your pain, honestly.

I also lost my little Punky (Repunzel) powder puff Chinese Crested. She'd been my soul-mate through some terribly trying times.

Although I'd not had her nearly as long as some of my other dogs I've had, I still, at times, mourn her loss.
