Got Milk?
Don't feed your cat cows milk. It will give your cat a case of diarrhea! You can give kitties either half and half or canned evaporated milk without problem. Neither of them contain lactose which is what gives kitties the "problem." Either choice is far more economical than the "kitty milk" now sold in the pet food aisles. (But Boru loves his Kitty Milk.)

Homer J. here and boy am I glad that the 4TH of July weekend is just about over. I DO NOT like all of the Bang-Bang-Boom-Boom stuff that has been happening around the neighborhood. The summer weekend people from the big city (Dee-See) sure raise heck when they come down to the lake. I really appreciate the more sedate year-rounders.
Mom was very disappointed that the $$ Ka-Ching didn't get fixed in time to go see the GReat big a fore mentioned Bang-Bang-Boom-Boom display that is held out on the lake (thank goodness). (Das Boot; she is still in the shop and we can all just hear the Ka-Chings going off in mom and dad's heads.) The Lake Anna Civic Association does a GReat job if you're into all that Bang-Bang-Boom-Boom stuff. Kinda a bummer for her and dad but we got to watch the Coca-Cola 400 NASCAR Race on TV. I even got wrapped up like a burrito in order to try to calm my nerves from all of the neighborhood Bang-Bang-Boom-Boom stuff (mom read somewhere that it helps calm down anxious dogs).
Well, all of us hounds and kitties here in Bumpass, VA, U.S.A. hope that you all had a super 4TH of July weekend not matter what part of the world y'all live in.

OBTW: Sugar won the U Top Dog voting. Thanks to everyone that supported her by voting everyday. She looks good on TV.
Boru is on TV a lot but dad gets made at him and tells him to get off of the TV. If he sits in front of it, dad tells him that his father wasn't a glass blower and to move his butt out of the way.

How y'all doing HoundersHope that you're all set for the long 4TH of July Weekend. Let's keep it safe.
The other day the 83-year-old woman that lives across the street from us got pulled over by a Virginia State Trooper. When asked by a young patrol officer
"Do you know you were speeding"?
This 83-year-old woman told the officer:
"Yes, but, I had to get there before I forgot where I was going".
SHILOH'S ADVICE TO WOMEN
Single ladies out there looking for the perfect companion, here are my thoughts on what y'all need to make your lonely life a utopia. 
If you want someone who will do anything to please you, get a dog.
If you want someone who will bring you the newspaper without tearing through it first for the sports page, get a dog.
If you want someone who'll make a total fool of himself because he's so glad to see you, get a dog.
If you want someone who eats whatever you put in front of him and never says his mother made it better, get a dog.
If you want someone who's always eager to go out any time you ask and anywhere you want to go, get a dog.
If you want someone who can scare away burglars without waving a lethal weapon around, endangering you and all the neighbors, get a dog.
If you want someone who never touches the remote, couldn't care less about Monday Night Football, and watches dramatic movies with you as long as you want, get a dog.
If you want someone who'll be content just to snuggle up and keep you warm in bed, and who you can kick out of bed if he slobbers and snores, get a dog.
If you want someone who never criticizes anything you do, doesn't care how good or bad you look, acts as though every word you say is worth hearing, never complains, and loves you unconditionally all the time, get a DOG!
On the other hand...
If you want someone who never comes when you call him, totally ignores you when you walk in the room, leaves hair all over the place, walks allover you, prowls around all night and comes home only to eat and sleep all day, and acts as though you are there only to see that HE's happy...
Get a CAT
STEP UP TO ADOPT A PET
If you can, please consider opening your home to a homeless animal, preferably a dog or cat or other domesticated animal; livestock does better on farms and wild animals do better in zoos and parks. Your local Humane Society or SPCA or Animal Shelter has a wide selection of could be, should be, pets looking for new homes. If you can't adopt, perhaps you can at least become a sponsor. We'll show you how to help out Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary (AHGRRS) on our blog page, but you can help out any organization of your choice, but please help; contribute or volunteer.

PLEASE HELP SPONSOR A SENIOR OR SPECIAL NEEDS GOLDEN
CAN'T ADOPT; BECOME AN ANGEL.So many Senior and Special Needs Goldens do not find "forever homes". Many of these dogs have above average medical needs and costs, are maintained on "special" diets, or have other extraordinary needs. Your donations can be targeted towards a
particular Senior or Special needs Golden Retriever. As a sponsor, you will receive updates about your "special" Golden, and will be mentioned in our quarterly newsletter as the dog's sponsor. We also accept
Paypal donations. Please keep in mind that we are a non-profit organization and that your donation is fully tax-deductible. Please just write the Golden's name in the memo line of your check or Paypal submission when sponsoring a Golden Retriever.
