Subj : Cats_Meow echo Rules To : JANIS KRACHT From : Daryl Stout Date : Thu Feb 28 2019 00:33:00 Hi, Janis... JK>>> Welcome to all and feel free to post your loves, your hates, your problem JK>>> your joys regarding your cats, your dogs and just about any pets (well, JK>>> we can exclude pet rocks? ) JK>> Oh, my own pet rock. I will call him George, and hug him, and squeeze JK>> him, and pet him... JK>haha.. :) Exactly the right wording for that from what I remember :) Well, there are 2 reasons for that. First, I saw a drama group perform "Of Mice And Men", by John Steinbeck, at the University Of Miami, in Coral Gables, Florida, 45 years ago, at a theatre arts festival. In the scene near the end, where Lenny is "shot" in the back of the head by the other character (I forget his name), the acting was so good that it stunned the entire theatre. Second, several of the Looney Tunes (Warner Brothers) and some of the Tex Avery cartoons had "Lenny" (I think he was the mentally challenged character) as part of skits. One of the Looney Tunes had it with "The Abominable Snowman" with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. The Tex Avery one had a deal with "Screwy Squirrel" (a new little friend). :P JK>Meanwhile, my daughter and her boys now own a dog. She's a really cute dog.. JK>not a full-bred - she's all white with slight splotches of light color here JK>there.. and goblin ears (her terms haha). She's suspected to be part Whippe JK>such a good natured girl :) Whippets are also known as "minature greyhounds". They are hard to housebreak and are high strung (just like dachshunds). Unlike the dachshund, the whippet seldom barks. But, both make excellent watchdogs, and are very loyal to their owners. We had a male that we gave to greyhound breeders in Harrison in northwest Arkansas several years ago. They had brought a bitch down, so they could get acquainted. Well, the dog we had, named Bullet, tried to make love to this bitch, and she told him (in so many words) that she wasn't interested in his advances. But, he seemed so sexually frustrated that "he wanted to whip-it out". :P Daryl === þ OLX 1.53 þ Amnesia and Deja-Vu: You forgot this happened before. --- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32 * Origin: FIDONet: The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net (1:19/33) .
