For Your Saturday Morning Listening: Leann Rimes. Unchained Melody-Live.

file under not working on Saturdays...........








Will you be listening to music today, cruising through the taco shop on the way to the dog park or the dog beach or working.

Spending so many Saturdays of life working listening to that stupid dr hotdog (yes, name changed to protect the guilty) rant and rave over some made up indiscrepancy to justify his inability to prepare or communicate his technical needs as a surgeon.

In other words, never properly letting us know what he needed to have on hand in order to do the case.

The Saturday morning OR meltdown............

Oh,it's so nice to have a day off.

No, we have got to be able to say what we think--and who knows--in the long run we may end up changing our minds anyway.

Ronnie, from The Ronnie Republic and The Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up talks manners, acting correctly at the dog park and violence in the political scene today.

Both Ronnie and David Gergan said today they have never witnessed this kind of violence at a political rally as told by CNN when a reporter was ruffed up at a donald trump gathering.

Seriously, I can tell you from personal experience violence is just not acceptable.

Sure, you can go down to the dog park and through a gift of God, there are some of us who can mix it up pretty good.  Right, it's an ego trip for a few minutes but in the long run what does it get you.

In today's political environment one has got to think things through before they act--like Hillary said, there can be devastating consequences.

First, if fighting is involved, your mom is going to be angry and who wants to suffer that--do you want chicken jerky when you get home or not.

My mom makes me homemade chicken and rice and I am just not willing to do anything that might jeopardize that situation.

Do you even want to go to the dog park again, or what.....because after fisticuffs certain individuals--people and dogs--are asked to leave.

Trust me on this one--I have seen it happen--the uniformed authorities can be involved, as well,  Then it is a forever situation.

At the end of the day one has to ask themselves.....do I want to watch the debate on the electric blanket with the cats and my mom....or do I want to end up alone in the proverbial dog house.

donald--it's up to you.

This Harmless Pit Bull Was Shot Twice, But Now He Helps Educate Others About Breed Stereotypes

This Harmless Pit Bull Was Shot Twice, But Now He Helps Educate Others About Breed Stereotypes


Pit Bulls and their guardians are frequently subjected to unfair treatment due to the stigma’s surrounding the breed. Many people associate these dogs with fighting, but anyone who has known a Pit Bull understands that, just like any other breed, pitties are capable of being wonderful companions when given the proper love and care. Unfortunately, the negative stereotype against Pit Bulls has lead to the creation of Breed Specific Legislation that bars people from adopting them in certain municipalities, and low adoption rates make them one of the highest euthanized dog breeds in the U.S.
Marginalized for the negative stereotypes assigned to their breed, individual dogs are left to suffer. Take Fifty the Pit Bull, for example. Fifty was rescued by a loving family in Chicago when he was a small pup. He was known for being a sweet and happy dog, but in 2007 something terrible happened.

Sweet Fifty lost two of his legs after being shot by a police officer for rooting around in someone’s trash. The person who shot Fifty thought he was dangerous just because of his breed.

Fifty’s family couldn’t afford the expensive treatment he needed after suffering economic hardship, so they had no choice but to leave him in a shelter in Chicago. Unfortunately, it had a staggeringly high kill rate. Fifty was able to avoid euthanasia afterDoberman Rescue Plus heard of his story and took him into their care.

After bouncing around a few foster homes, a Pit Bull lover named Kelly Michael adopted him. The two bonded practically overnight, and Fifty’s doing great in her care!

Kelly is just the type of guardian that Fifty needs. She has experience working as a holistic and integrative medicine vet, so she was perfectly suited to help Fifty overcome his injuries. Here he is getting water exercise sessions to help manage his injuries.

She even helped Fifty get a prosthetic back leg, so he can run around again!

Fifty has quite the appetite for treats and other goodies. Kelly is sure to keep him well supplied. Yum, doggie doughnuts!

Fifty is kind and especially gentle. Look at him giving smooches to this much tiny dog!

This handsome fellow also travels with Michael to educate people about Pit Bull stereotypes and myths, advocating for the breed.

Kelly says that she knew Fifty was her soul mate from the moment they met. After seeing this picture, who would disagree?

 Fifty’s story inspired Michael to fight until everyone loves and respects Pit Bulls as much as she does. With the help of smiling, wonderful Fifty, we are sure that they’ll be able to change many, many minds and hearts.

Fifty’s story may have started tragically, but we can rest easy in the knowledge that he’s found a loving guardian that will give him everything he could ever want. We can all play our part to help other Pit Bulls like Fifty by dispelling myths about these dogs whenever possible. Sharing this post is a great place to start! The more people who get to know the dogs rather than the stereotypes, the better!
To keep up with Fifty and his awesome mom, follow them on Facebook, here.
