Oh, Marilyn.  I hope none of those poor strays get this.  They die a terrible, painful death...............I hate to see strays.   I had to stop feeding them, and it just broke my heart.   People in town, bring the animals they don't want and drop them out here.  Poor things don't know what to do....................we have taken many to the pound, hoping for adoption.  Pound will only take 4 animals a year from the same household.   There are many, many more out here.   We have found homes for some, but everyone we know, just can't take any more animals...................I feel so sorry for those animals.   I would actually like to treat the owners the way they do their pets, and see how they would like it...........a couple of years ago, someone dropped a mother dog and about 7 puppies.  It was snowing like mad when I spotted them.  I had gone out for the mail.  Told Jim about them, and we went to get them and at least give them shelter in the garage , but couldn't find them.   That was just plain cruel to put these animals out like this.................don't understand how people can do this..............think it would be kinder to just shoot them.   Well, your brother was old enough to know better.   I don't blame your sister.  Your brother just sounds like he was plain mean.....she shouldn't have gotten in trouble for beating brother with the broom.   I don't see how she could be blamed..........Did he grow up to be a better brother?   I sure hope so.................   .You are a night owl too tonight.   We just had a tornado scare, and I haven't calmed down enough to sleep.  Jim is fast asleep.   I told him until we get the all clear, I am not going to bed.    This was a bad one tonight, the tornado touched down about 3 miles from us...............I can only imagine what outside looks like.   I just got the mess cleaned up from the last weird storm........I think if it is a war zone again outside, it is going to stay that way until fall cleanup.   I am just too tired, and the heat really zaps me to do this again................lol.............I told my daughter that tonight, and she said you know you will clean it up again.   I said I know........couldn't stand looking at it.......................Have a restful Night Marilyn.............think we just got the all clear, so I am going to try and get some rest..................love, ......sam. We have a lot of Bobcats around here & a lot of wild stray cats  that just keep having litter after litter. Hope they get it so they will not be able to try to dig up my flower gardens He was born in 1933 & I was born in 1942 so there was quite a difference in our ages, One of my older sisters beat him with the broom because she had just swept & mopped then he came in the door with mud & pasture poop on his boots.  She beat the crap out of him then she got into trouble for hitting her baby brother. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Loudermilk" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [DOWN-HOME-CHATTER] Dot Jo/animals/cleaning and stuff > Marilyn, Bob cats carry the parasite in their blood, and ticks feed off > the bobcats.

My daddy said I needed a night job because I could stay up all night & sleep all day & he was right I'm going to hit the hay right now. Finally got my AMBIAN back so now I can sleep.
