'Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened'
Don't know who said it, but isn't it a beautiful thought?

I appreciate your enthusiasm about your pussy-footing friends, but please, try to respect my original objective in establishing this thread, OK?klondike wrote: Don't have a dogger in your life right now? Share pix and/or memories of the one(s) you used to share your home with, or maybe that unforgettable canine you grew up with, or remember most fondly.
Devoted instead to a cat or two, or rodent(s), bird(s) or reptile(s)? Keep horses or livestock?
Hey, no disrespect, Folks, by this thread's about D O G S, 'kay?
If you wish to honor another species of pet, by all means, begin a thread just for them!
If by "mission statement" you mean my simple, polite reminder to please stay on topic, back at the beginning of this thread, then whether or not you did is largely superfluous; the name of the thread itself should make appropriate subject choices for posting a no-brainer.Hollis wrote:You're right of course Klondike,
How could I have committed the unpardonable sin of not reading your mission statement of October, 2008?
Well did you, or didn't you? Is that a question or a statement?Hollis wrote: I didn't mean to soil your hallowed halls with pawprints that don't say "a canine walked her"?
Of course I'm wrong sometimes, and when my errors are pointed out to me, by anybody, I accept my corrections pleasantly. & admit them, & excuse myself, unlike some other people . .!Hollis wrote: I should have remembered that you're never wrong?
Nope, and that's why you didn't get "dressed down"; I pointed out a problem and asked you to help me fix it.Hollis wrote: I deserved to be dressed down, didn't I?
Oh, please - you've retired more times now than Brett Favre or Stephen King; personally, I'd prefer you stay, but do as you please, just dispense with the pouty threats, OK?Hollis wrote: Rest assured, I won't be posting to this thread or any other, ever again.
I've never considered any exchange I've ever had on SSO to have been a waste of time, not the goods ones, nor the bad.Hollis wrote: I'm not going to waste your, or my time, any longer.
Newsflash, HC: The Silver Screen Oasis does not revolve around you only, even when you throw a big, nasty tantrum, like this one. As for who I respond to or don't, I post according to my desire & my conscience, and so long as I follow the mutually recognized rules here, I don't need anyone's permission to do so. You may, in theory, never read this, but others in this community certainly will.Hollis wrote:
Don't bother posting anything addressed to me because I won't be around to read it.
Your welcome; grown-up stuff like structure & responsibilty & maturity can certainly seem cruel & heartless, can't they?Hollis wrote: In closing, let me thank you for your total lack of compassion.
See, that's where you jumped whole-hog onto the Assumption Express: in reality, I never even read beyond the first sentence of your last posting here, so I never even knew the nature of the cat-subject you were launching into, only that by your opening admission, it had nothing to do with dogs. Certainly any beloved animal companion deserves to be mourned when they pass over, and had you chosen to respond to my simple request differently, I would have been firm & resolute in expressing my deepest sympathy for your Dear Departed . . I'd even be willing to do so now, except I'm a little busy wiping off the conversational dung you've been pitching at me!Hollis wrote: If it's not a dog, it can't possibly be worth mourning, can it?
