Got a dog you love?

My old darling drew her last breath on 11/10/96 and I still miss her.

I don’t believe in a heaven that has no dogs.

Linda, I’m thrilled that you’re going to be back on Mike Method’s show – his show last week was certainly enlivened by the presence of some of our favorite folks.

I like squirrels and I enjoy secrets.

Got a dog you love?

I found this super article on the web.

Any real dog lover who reads this very well-written article will most certainly appreciate how the author was able to express so well in words why dog lovers love their dogs so much and how much dogs really need us as they get old. Read the heart warming comments at the end of the article, too.

Enjoy!

Warning: Have a tissue handy.

FTA: “They can be eccentric, slow afoot, even grouchy. But dogs live out their final days, says The Washington Post’s Gene Weingarten, with a humility and grace we all could learn from.”

Hey Mudflatters…I can’t have AKM post this while she’s away so I figured I’d let you know in the open thread…

All signs point to me live blogging the Mike Method Show tomorrow (after Shannyn) with a SUPER SECRET SQUIRREL GUEST!!!!!

There’s a little perk for the person who guesses the identity of the guest first!

I beg leniency of the blog authorities in allowing me to post the link to Blue Oasis where the discussion will occur:

I hope you’ll join Shannyn at 5:00 PM and Mike at 7:00 PM…you won’t regret it!

Prob. not, and I think that number is only during construction. Actually though, I think most of them are likely to live here.

Oh–Of course it gets spun as more jobs. But is a lake really worth 370 jobs? And how many of the people working that mine actually live there? Is it like the Slope where many of the workers just fly in from outside?

I just cry for my planet.

lovemydogs–I’m not happy about it, nor are many of my friends I suppose, but then again we’re the type who hang out here… Jobs are good and all, but they had a less damaging (though more expensive for them) option that was permitted and they could have opened the mine a few years ago using that or another option that was also less damaging. With the current SCOTUS though, I’m not surprized at the outcome.

In Juneau: I left a comment the other day wanting to get the opinions of those who live there on the Kensington Mine deal. How do people in Juneau feel about the lake being used for “fill”? Like I said before, I know there are always 2 sides to every story. Just wondering seeing how Buttercup and L murkowski are all jazzed about the court decision. Thanks
