Dear Felix,

I agree.........

"The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals"

Felix, knowing what an advocate, and champion you are for abused animals, I think that would be perfect for your purpose, but not before at least another 80 years.

Hopefully, I can make it 20, Someone will find me with 20 dogs and 10 cats! No, I would be too worried about what would be done with them! Have to think of what happens to them when one is gone. That is something my family always talked of. Who got the kids.

P.S. My sister in N.Y. just told me aweek ago about taking her dogs and cat. All very abused, from shelters.Both dogs were going to be put down till she took them.It runs in the family.

In our case, the problem is solved with a nice endowment to the local SPCA and their "after care" programme. The money comes out of the estate, the cats are in a lovely retirement home for the rest of their natural lives. Anr we checked out all sorts of options.
Very sad that the IF did not have a chance to see to their beloved pets.

Don't forget guinea pigs, too, Felix. They're my favourite animals because they are so gentle & docile (& Alix & Ella kept them as children so it is relevant) & so lovely to their babies - puppies they're called - not piglets!
I had 26 at one time & each one had a very different character. The only sad thing is that they don't live very long (my eldest was 6 and a half) & it's very very very sad to see them when they become poorly.

R. very sad that Amercans dont do that, our pets die sad lives wondering where their care takers have gone.

7 years, that's pretty good going! Don't tell me if anyone was cruel to the poor little guinea pigs!! Guinea pigs FEEL pain so quickly & are such timid creatures that I hate the way they are used in lab experiments....but that's another thought.
If the turkey in your yard came out alright, that would be interesting.

The Turkey ie "Beeper" Did if you wont a 70 Pound bird in your yard, he was so sweet! Fell in the pool once. He was a card!

bluetoria · « **Reply #41 on:** March 15, 2005, 06:29:08 PM »

Wow! That big! Well I'm not surprised he came to your yard - he probably knew he'd be safe there

BTW have you seen all the lovely things people are saying about you on the books thread?

felix · « **Reply #42 on:** March 15, 2005, 06:42:36 PM »

No,but it very nice to hear,PS wont tell you about the Hampsters! rideing on the dogs back.PS Beeper was domestic,thats why he was so big.He died with me by his side. If you knew him you could never eat Turkey again!

I think that every time I see a cow or a sheep or a pig or a chicken or anything...I wish I COULD be vegetarian; (though I do eat VERY LITTLE meat.)
You'll have to describe what happened with the dog & the hamster riding on his back

but it's late now & I have to go...
Good night, Felix!

I don't mean to be rude, but how did we go from the Imperial families dogs to guinea pigs and hampsters? lol.
