- David Codrea goes digging for the grass roots of the latest “local” anti-gun group … and guess who he finds? Nice detective work, David. (ED NOTE 4/17/17: The original link became obsolete and I substituted a working one at the request of a reader. It reports the same story but does not appear to credit David Codrea.)
- Salt Lake City police investigate themselves for the slaughter of a dog in its own backyard … and guess what they find?
- But enough bad news about dogs. Here are a pair of good things. An IKEA store puts life-size cutouts of shelter dogs to show customers how well those needy dogs would go with their new IKEA furniture. And just for laughs: Sofa Dogs!
- And via naturegirl in comments: Valiant elderly dog, unwanted by two owners gets the home she deserves.
- Heartwarming: Long-lost brothers find each other after 70 years.
- Heartbreaking: Ryochiji prepares to say goodbye to his cabin in Serenity Valley as fire threatens. Hoping for the best with those precautions you’ve taken, Ryochiji.
- Have you taken your Obama loyalty oath yet? It’s despicable that some of his pet senators are calling on him to bypass our “representatives.” Economic morons. Constitutional morons. Moral morons. And did I mention … morons?
- Yes, you had to pass the bill so we could find out what was in it. Okay, so now we know. And the more we know the less we like.

Thanks for the link to Ryochiji. I’m going to be following him forward, as well as reading his past remarks. He sounds like a brave, intelligent, self-sufficient, and sensitive young man.
Here is another dog story. http://theilovedogssite.com/after-small-dog-is-carried-off-by-a-coyote-the-neighbors-rottweiler-springs-into-action/?utm_source=ILDS-Email&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=RottieSavesCoyote_8-4-14
Wow. Maykits. Thanks.
LOL-ing at the Sofa Dogs. Clever of Ikea to come up with that idea, although I momentarily cringed at the thought of bar coding dogs – it’s still a clever idea. Thanks Maykits for the new site to go read, it looks cool there!
Well, hey, they already decide who’s a domestic terrorist or an enemy combatatant. It only follows naturally from there.
