    Sandy, you're the greatest!! Not too many people would do what you did,
    and you didn't even hit the poor thing! I think we have the nicest
    kindest people in this file! 
    
    Let us know how the pooch makes out!

    I don't know...knowing all you guys...I think there are plenty
    of folks in this file that would do the same thing or have done
    it in the past!!
    
    But to be honest...I'm wondering what I would have done if that
    had been a person and not an animal.   I'm not sure I would have
    been that wonderful.  Scarey huh!!!

    Sandy,
    
     I'm sure if it had been a person, you would have at least called an
    ambulance. I know I wouldn't try to move a person, but our poor furry
    friends don't have that service available to them. They have to depend
    on caring folks like you and the people in this file to help them out.
    It doesn't make you any less caring. It's a very different scenario.

      BOYOBOY.....YOu must have sorta dumb cats!! We have 12 dogs in our
    house, 'n we have no trouble dominating them completely... Sometimes
    one of us puts on a good ACT by running when one of the more exhuberant
    young dogs wants to run, and we make it LOOK like he's chasing us, but
    the bottm-line here is that we LOVE to have 12 larger critters to
    dominate...
    
      Get a dog!! Your cat's 'l LOVE to control it!!

    	sniff.....sniff..... tell your sis I said hi, I haven't
    	seen her at the Singapore lately.
    
    	I'll be waiting to hear the end to this story!

    .4   If it was a person...I probably would atleast have called
         an ambulance.   But history shows...I'm much more apt to
         help any animal in need. (birds, mice, dogs, cats...etc)  
    
    .5   Okay JM....leave it to you to say get a dog!!  I'm always
         amazed at reading your stories of all your animals....and
         what a happy household you have.   But right now we own
         a two family and I have seven cats and a bird...upstairs has 
         five cats and we feed two strays!  God I feel overwhelmed at times!!
         But...we all made the decision that if this dog does not
         find his owner or a new home...we would not allow this little dog
         to be put to sleep...and we would take him in.   for some
         reason he touched are heart...like you wouldn't beleive.
    
     .6  JJ...my sister still works at Singapore...but she doesn't work
         in the bar any more...just the restaurant!!  (monday and friday
         nights)
    
    I'll keep you all updated tomorrow!!!!

       Re .7
      WHOA...My CATS made me put that in!!! ;-)
    
      Hey....think I DON'T know "that feeling"???? I certainly don't spend
    my days going out LOOKING for dogs 'n cats to adopt....but like that
    last little sad-eyed, lonely-looking, wet, dirty, abandoned
    Beagle....when he looked up at me with those big, brown eyes, and when
    I picked him up and he laid his little head on my shoulder and gave out
    with this HUGE sigh.....I just ain't got it in me to turn 'em over to
    an uncertain future when we have the room. Do WE feel overwhelmed at
    times??? SURE we do!! It does get sort of 'strained' at times, but then
    one comes up to us with the rear-half in motion and give a big lick, or
    a cat comes along and ruuuubbbbs against one of us with her/his eyes
    squinted all shut in happiness, and you can hear the purrrrring half a
    block away...and it make it all worth it.......
    
    JM

    
        glad to hear the doggie is ok!  It's nice when these kinds of tales
    have happy endings......but you sound like my household now.   Would
    you believe this past weekend we acquired a huge 10 month old Samoyed??
    
    Sammy, the Samoyed is a beautiful dog, but he was being neglected
    terribly by his former owner.  The dude couldn't give a hoot about the
    dog either way.  I couldn't stand to see this poor dog treated so, 
    so.............of course much to my hubby's delight (he's been looking
    for a dog) I agreed to take him in.
    
    But of course, the cats have laid down strict guidelines.  NO dog in
    the house. NO dog out in their section of the yard when they want to
    play.  NO barking when they are trying to get their beauty sleep.
    And NO dog smelling hands touch their fur.   Well, we are trying to
    abide by those rules.  Queen Cleo is making sure we do.  He's a really
    terrific dog, though.  I haven't had one since I was 14, so it's been
    a veeeery long time.
    
    Denise and the gang of 11 cats and possibly....a dog?

    yeah yeah...sniff sniff...yeah yeah...sniff sniff!!
    
    The littel doggie in the base note was reunited with his
    owner.  The dog officer did question the folks...and came to
    the conclusion that they were responsible owners and the dog
    had broken loose.  They will get a license now....
    
    I'm really torn...part of me is so happy he found his owner...
    and the other half of me is so sad that I won't see this little
    guy again.   Even though I was only with the dog for an hour..
    there is a real strong attachement...and I'm sure it's because
    he needed me!!
    
    Denise...please keep me posted on the dog/cat stories. Let us
    know how introduction go....it should be fun!!!!  I just need
    this info...just in case I ever meet up with another dog in
    need and decide to bring him home to the furballs!!   Hopefully
    they will all get along great like JM household!!!

    Denise,
    
    A Samoyed is my dream dog!!  As soon as we have a house I'm getting a
    dog.  Wish I could take in this baby but I know you will give him a
    good home with your 11 cats :^).
    
    Good luck!
