Pets Of The Week

Congratulations to Stump, a 10 year old Sussex spaniel who won Best In Show at the 2009 Westminister Dog Show. Stump came out of retirement to take the top doggie honors and was the first of his breed to capture the silver bowl. Stump barely made it past 5 or so. He left the show ring in 2004 and later nearly died from a mysterious medical condition. The vets at Texas A&M saved him.

This is BG, short for Burgular Guard, and he is Paula's owner and evidently the swingset boss in the back yard. As you can see, BG has evicted Paula's grandson, Corey, from the swing and has taken command. Although Corey seems quite amused, personally I wouldn't stand for a canine to take anything from me. You can read Paula's journal called Paula's Country tales at http://pl78064.blogspot.com/

Barney is Ally's dog is not very happy about going to see the vet for his yearly injections. Perhaps he'd be more willing if there was a treat involved, but judging from the look on his face, he's been there, done that and wasn't very content when the vet produced the needle. Hang in there guy, it only hurts when you sit. Stop by Ally's journal at http://wwwlifewithally.blogspot.com/

My friend, Isi (Isabel) lives in the Bahamas and she owns this truckload of PUPPIES! The Labrador retrievers are named Diva (the black one), the two chocolates are Hershey and Reggie, the big white pitbull mix is Lucky and the German shepard mix is Santo! I don't know what her dog food bill is but I'm betting she has to rent a backhoe and a dumpster for use as a pooper scooper!

Karen's puppy is named Sheba and strikes me as the type of dog that would make a good and caring friend. Since I'm a cat, I normally don't hang out with canines that much, but if I were to do so, I think I'd hang out with Sheba. Stop by and see Sheba and her pet, Karen at http://howiseeit-karen.blogspot.com/

The Cat's Meow And Puppy Dog Tales:

Barney goes into a bar and starts playing pool. Nearby, another man is also shooting pool and has his pet monkey with him. Suddenly, the monkey jumps onto Barney's table, grabs the cue ball and stuffs it into his mouth and swallows it. The first man yells for the bartender who comes over and apolgizes for the incident. Barney finishes his game and leaves.

A week later Barney goes into the bar for a beer. He looks over and sees the same man with the monkey in the corner shooting pool. The bartender brings Barney a beer and some peanuts and walks away.

The monkey comes over to Barney, reaches into the peanut bowl, grabs a nut, sticks it in his butt--then eats it. Barney stares at the monkey who continues to repeat this action. He angrily asks the bartender, "What's up with that monkey grabbing my peanuts one at a time, sticking them in his butt then eating them." The bartender says, "Well, ever since the pool ball incident last week, he measures everything before he eats it."

"You just make damned well sure you tell your family how well I protect your ass Hung Lo 'cause when we get home I don't want to be on the menu"

A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham and bacon. After several weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are getting pregnant, and calls a vet for help. The vet tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, he only asks the vet how he will know when the pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that when pregnant, they will stop standing around and will, instead, lay down and wallow in the mud.

The farmer hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the pigs. So, he loads the pigs into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back and goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the pigs. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the truck again. He drives them out to the woods, does each pig twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed.

The next morning, he was woken up by his wife shaking him and saying "Wake up Dear, the pigs are acting strangely!". The farmer says,"What do you mean? Are they wallowing in the mud?" His wife say, "No, they're all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn."

Remember to send me your pet's picture in care of Jimmy at jimsulliv3@aol.com along with any pertinant information that you care to share. Let everyone take a look at them in next Friday's post.

That's Possum's Journal for this week.

Pets Of The Week - Possum's Miffed !

There's a few things that I don't consider very funny and those things are dogs getting away with murder at the expense of a feline. You may think that I'm prejudiced (and you're right) but this time I've got evidence of the things a stupid dog will do for food and the end that dogs will go to to save their furry asses. Don't believe me? Watch the video!

I found many new pictures of my animal pals and one of the funniest is the trio of Shanti, Snickers and a black feline whose name I do not recall. The ringleader is Shanti and she is the owner of my pal, Nancy, who authors "Nancy Luvs Pix." Nancy is an excellent photographer and she took these rare shots of the trio together. I say rare because, according to Nancy, they spend most of their their time in the chase and swat mode.

Evidently, Snickers decided that it was a moment of opportunity and directed his love toward the black cat, who, by the look on it's face, is not overly thrilled about the situation. Please stop by and check out Nancy's pictures at http://nancyluvspix.blogspot.com/

Betty's corgi, Yoda, puts that cute little face as he plays with his chew toy. Stop by Betty's journal, "A Corgi In Southern California" and see more of little Yoda. You can read her journal at http://acorgiinsoutherncalifornia.blogspot.com/

Ally's cat (hey....alley cat, I like it), Lucky, seems content just being petted. Although I must admit, we cats expect to be petted and rubbed. Stop by and say hello to Ally at http://wwwlifewithally.blogspot.com/

On a sad note, Lisa's cat, Mr. Marley Moo Sock Monkey, pased away January 27. Please stop by and wish her well at http://salemslot9journal.blogspot.com/

If you have pictures of your pet and the crazy things they do, email jimsulliv3@aol.com and he'll give them to me to put in my journal. In fact, take a picture of you pet today and we'll feature him or her on Possum's Journal.

The Cat's Meow And Puppy Dog Tales:

A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?" As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level, and asks, "Do you want a widdle white wabbit or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?"

She, in turn blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says in a quiet voice, "I don't think my pet python weally gives a thit."

A turkey was chatting with a bull. The turkey sighed, "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree, but I haven't got the energy." The bull replied, "Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings? They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

The Moral Of The Story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Well, that's Possum's Journal for this week. I'll have some more pets and owners next Friday.

Pets Of The Week

It's Friday and though some people go to AREA 51 and act silly, I am here at the keyboard making my first Friday entry called Pets Of The Week. Truth be known, it really should be titled "Pet Owners Of The Week." I mean, my pet, Jimmy, goes out and works every day. I stay home and sleep on the couch. Who belongs to whom? Nevertheless, I've compiled some pictures that you have sent to me this week along with your pets.

My girlfriend, Gabi Lin, who is the owner of Linda in cold and snowy Washington is always on my sidebar along with Luke the Wonder Dog and Zoey.

By far, the funniest picture that I obtained this week was of a cat named Milakoshka (Mila) who's pet is named Jacqueline. I say obtained...., in reality Jimmy sto...., borrowed them from Jacqueline. She is the author of "Siberian Cats, Mishka and Milakoshka - ( A Tail of Two Kitties + 1 )" and this picture, along with many more corresponding pics can be seen at the link below (that is of course after you've finshed reading my post). http://mysiberiankitties.blogspot.com/

One of my favorite pics, albeit a bit grainy, is of Sassy (aka Baby G). Sassy's pet is named Garnett and I have no idea of Garnett's breeding. Sassy's a handsome dog and how she adopted Garnett I'll never know. I was somewhat surprised that Garnett didn't send me a picture of his ass as he is offtimes wont to do. Garnett has shown his ass many times and I'm sure you've never seen a finer ass in all your days. Garnett writes "My Brain is In Pain Again" and can be read at http://garnett109.blogspot.com/

Here's a picture taken at a nude beach of Garnett's ass in all it's glory. Kinda brings a tear to your eye, don't it? (I don't care what you say, that's funny! Git-R-Done!)

My pal Julie is a very witty and faithful reader of both my journal and Jimmy's Journal as well. Julie is the pet of Zoey, one of my favorite pals. Zoey's a character and I highly recommend stopping by "Julia's New journal" at http://juliasnewjournal.blogspot.com/

Julie underwent surgery yesterday and is recovering at home. I'm now quite sure how she'll post using one hand but if I know Julie, she probably let Zoey do most of the typing and then she'll edit the work (Zoey's not in to spelling).

Today is my pal Tania's birthday (Happy Birthday Tania!) and she's got a cute kitty whose name escapes me (I think it's Chrissy). Nevertheless, since it's her birthday, here's a picture of Tania's owner.

I have to mention my pal Chico today. Chico's a Siberian Husky and he's really a fun dog (as dogs go). I really don't think Chico's really from Siberia but Jimmy says that he's a Caucasian-American and I know for a fact the he has never even been to Caucasia. So much for the hyphenated citizens!

My sentimental favorite of today's pics was sent to me by Regina who is the pet of Coatie. I normally rely on my exceptional wit to enhance my journal posts, but the email I received from Regina far exceeds what I could have written in it's stead. Here's Regina's note:

This is my 7 year old female cat, Coatie, who is part Russian Blue and part traveling salesman. she is a foundling, found when she was around 3 months old. I am her human, and my name is Regina. We both reside in the wonderful city of McDonough in the more wonderful southern state of Georgia. During the winter months, she sleeps on a heating pad while i hide under loads of cover in an unheated room. She is the princess of all princesses.

Regina says Coatie is yawning in this pic, but being a cat myself (and a handsome one at that) I believe Coatie is just preparing for his morning meows which sends human pets scurrying around the house looking for food and other items that might please us. Please stop by and visit Coatie and Regina who pens the journal "A Page Unturned" You can visit her by clicking the link below. http://apageunturned.blogspot.com/

I must mention brother Kirt who sent me this picture. Although I don't know his owner's name, I think brother Kirt may have taken this picture after his owner had sniffed some catnip as he is either exposing his best side or is coming out of a coma. Truth be told, I always thought that crazy cat was on drugs!

The Cats Meow And Puppy Dog Tales:

Yeah, I know, this concept is taken from Jimmy's Journal but who in the hell do you think writes Jimmy's Journal? Me, Shithead, that's who! Jimmy's just a pawn in my overall plan to take over the house.

A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he wants to buy a pet that can do everything. The shop owner suggests a faithful dog. The man replies, "Come on, a dog?" The owner says, "How about a cat?" The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I want a pet that can do everything!"

The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it! A centipede!" The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede doing everything, but okay... I'll try a centipede." He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean the kitchen." Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and... it's immaculate! All the dishes and silverware have been washed, dried, and put away the counter-tops cleaned the appliances sparkling the floor waxed. He's absolutely amazed!

He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living room." Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The carpet has been vacuumed the furniture cleaned and dusted the pillows on the sofa plumped, plants watered. The man thinks to himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This really is a pet that can do everything!"

Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and get me a newspaper." The centipede walks out the door. 10 minutes later... no centipede. 20 minutes later... no centipede. By this point the man is wondering what's going on. The centipede should have been back in a couple of minutes. 45 minutes later... still no centipede! He can't imagine what could have happened. Did the centipede run away? Did it get run over by a car? Where is that centipede?

So he goes to the front door, opens it... and there's the centipede sitting right outside. The man says, "Hey!!! I sent you down to the corner store 45 minutes ago to get me a newspaper. What's the matter?!" The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'! I'm just puttin' on my shoes!"

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. The teacher says, "Human beings are the only animals that stutter." A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered." The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident. The little girl said, "Well, I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!"

The teacher said, "That must've been scary." The little girl said,'"It sure was! My kitty raised his back, went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'...and before he could say 'F*ck', the Rottweiler ate him!"

That's the "Pets Of The Week" edition of Possum's Journal. I hope you enjoyed it. This feature will be posted every Friday so send me your pictures, along with names and relevant info, to Possum, in care of jimsulliv3@aol.com and I'll see that your picture makes the headlines.

Have a great weekend and......
