Warning The Beaver Are Biting The Dogs


Up in Anchorage, Alaska there is a group of beaver that have been attacking dogs that go in the water near their nesting area.
In the last eight days three dogs have had to go for medical help. It sounds like a movie when you read this. I guess the little guys are just trying to protect their home that they are building.

More Pit Bulls Rescued From Having To Fight

Police have charged Brad Terrence Simpson from Salisbury, North Carolina with two counts of dog fighting after the police found a tape showing some of the eight pit bulls fighting.
Why dose it seem that people just buy these pit bulls just for fighting. They are really a nice dog to have if they are trained right. You can see why people fear these dogs when you walk near them. I hope the judge throws the book at this guy and just maybe owners of these dogs will smarten up and treat them right.

Yes Dogs Do Bite

There were two kids that were attacked at different times by a dog that got loose while they were on their way to school in Fenton, Missouri.
Over in Fremont, California there was a nine year old that was mauled by his family dog that just only bit someone a few weeks ago.
And near Colorado Hills there was a five year old who was attacked by a dog.
A little seven year old named Tanner Joshua Monk from Breckenridge, Texas who was mauled to death by two pit bulls now has the owners facing felony charges.
Then you have a man named David Scoular from Canada who had his leg bitten to the bone when he approached two dogs and tried to kick at one of the dogs.

That’s a lot of dog biting in the past two days. I have read that dogs that are chained up seem to be the most aggressive, due to not being social with other animals and people. You also need to watch out for dogs that are behind a fence, they are going to protect their turf.
Here is a quick 10 point tip on training your dog by Chamois Rose-Wood.

So What Happens When A Pit-Bull Meets A Porcupine?




This poor dog just didn’t know when to leave. They say that a Vet had to sedate the dog and remove about 1,347 quills for the dog.
That definitely had to hurt and I hope he learned his lesson on this one.

Do Not Disturb Were Praying


Sorry but we’re Praying for all those who have given their life for our Freedom



We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.
