4/23/2007 - Dear Dutch

I wanted to thank you for your comments to my blog, and how refreshing it is to find an enlightened man that agrees with a liberal woman! I appreciate your comments, as well as your blogs on your own site.

Its good to know that all men are not right wing reactionary neocon extremists like you know who shhhhhh.

As for you post it is very interesting, but not all that surprising, I have heard of cases where dogs that were seperated from their owners and traveled over a thousand miles to reunite with them.

There was one interesting heartwarming story of a stray dog in Africa that found newborn baby abandoned in a Kenyan forest. It was saved by a stray dog that carried her across a busy road and through a barbed wire fence and placed the infant with her litter of puppies. Had that dog not found her and nursed her along with her litter of puppies the infant would have surely died. Never underestimate the marternal instincts of a female, human or animal, its an amazing thing to behold.

I have a daughter that I love and cherish and I also have five Yorkshire Terriers I call my "Babies" each Yorkshire Terrier has a seperate and distinct personality and each one with an amazing capacity to love.

(((((((((((Hugs)))))))
Sincerely,
Your Friend
Heather

4/23/2007 - Cats and dogs reuniting with families

I know of these stories, but the ones I know are invariably animals gone missing on vacation destinations and then crossing half continents to find their homes and families. I will look into the phenomenon to find out for sure however.

I've also seen animal rescue cases in my own neighborhood, by the way. The neighbor I refer to as psychotic, for instance, was rescued from a fire by his own cat about ten years ago.

As for your comment on my comments, you'll find that we in large parts of Europe even find the most liberal of the Democrats too far to the right for our liking. A lot of us would rather have the Green Party calling the shots.
