Reminds me of my mutt who loved to clean my black and white cat and her kitten. I could always tell when he did because their fur would stick up wildly as if someone had used hair gel on them. It was hilarious and moving at the same time. Wonderful vids. Reminds me of my mutt who loved to clean my black and white cat and her kitten.

I was talking to a DC FedEmp lately about the O, and how I'm not impressed, and mentioned the O's campaign promises. He actually derided me for my belief in them: "Come ON, did you actually think he would close Gitmo on 1/21?" So the conversation flip-flopped, from O's duplicity to my naivete. I'm STILL generous enough to think some "smart" people have any sense. And I figured out that FedEmps support the guy who signs the checks: no brains, no matter the degree. They really are the sheeple. My subject is the O and the Fed employees, who constitute a HUGE voting bloc.

Dogs are certainly more admirable in that respect.

She loved the little newborn kittens, and would steal them from the cat, who would patiently retrieve them and put them back in her spot, and the dog would just keep on getting kittens. Poor little things were wet from hound drool and starting to look rather soggy. I got tired of watching the poor little soggy kittens getting all those travel miles, so I moved them, and Mom Cat, to the washing machine. They came out into a box on top of it when I did laundry. I had to keep a sharp eye out because the hound was tall, and might have tried to reach it. Then after wash was done, back into the washer they went. They stayed in there until the kittens' eyes opened and they got active, and I could put them in a box on the floor again. At that point, she started lactating.. yup.. real milk. Spayed dog. Go figure. I took her to the vet to make sure, just in case it wasn't a coincidence and the "milk" was a symptom of something else. She was lactating, real milk. So the kittens had two milk bars for a while. And got very wet when washed by their hound mommy. It made for interesting times, though.

The five-year-old Great Pyrenees is credited with saving the lives of Moss and her son David, 19, by alerting them to an early morning fire at their Harney Street home in Piqua.

Smelling smoke and hearing the crackle of fire, mother and son fled the house around 6 a.m. with Jeter following. For an unknown reason, the 120-pound dog went back into the house and perished.

Paws prints.
