Busters Prayer: "Dear God, Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle?"

RAINBOW BRIDGE

Over the past year, several of our staff members have lost one or more of their animal companions. Buster is still alive and well, but I wanted to find away for all pet owners to share their grief, yet offer them some hope in their time of despair.

My friend, Jerry Wilhite found this poem on the Internet. It is not known who wrote it, but it comes as close to anything I have seen to offering a balance of sadness with hope and joy as we review the precious memories of our beloved pets.

An Example of an INCREDIBLE DOG
You won't believe it, but it is true. Watch the video.

Animals need adoption just like children. They are just as precious and just as much in need of your love. Watch this video. Our animal friends need our help, too.

Buster says: "Here is a picture of that good looking Cathy Scott, who is one of my favorite reporters in the whole world. She took time out from exposing gangsters and other crooks in Las Vegas to go down to New Orleans and help out with rescuing lots of animal, mainly dogs and...yes, cats. She now is a staff writer for Best Friends Animal Society ( www.bestfriends.org ). Pictured with Ms. Scott are two Chihuahuas, Mia on the left and Lois Lane on the right. Both survived Hurricane Katrina and were rescued. Mia was found swimming in 4-1/2 feet of water near a broken levee.

Buster, along with our other Jerry Pippin Show canine, feline and other animal family members, is very concerned about the care of the lost, misplaced and left behind animal family members of all disaster evacuees and fatalities.

for an extensive reference list of organizations that are helping rescue, find, relocate and care for our animal friends.

On a lighter note, here is a video that I just love, Carolyn Scott's pooch, Rookie, performs in a World Canine Freestyle Organization contest. Isn't he a great dancer?

Another one of Buster's Favorite videos.
Watch, cats can be useful,
but watch out for your privates.

Buster wonders who let the dogs out.

Aw, dogs just wanna have fun.

This dog has a habit that Mommy
doesn't know about.
Sneaking behind the dog house.

Humans and parrots
are not the only talkers.

The Dynamic Duo - Fighting for Truth,
Justice and the American Way.

Buster's valet, Jerry, picks up after his master. Buster always obeys the waste disposal laws.

Buster says: "My buddy Tyson knows how to get around in style.
and you will see what I mean."

Larry Dicken's Dogs

Natasha, the Siberian Husky and Mikey, the Shetland Sheepdog, and
Yankee Sky, the Siberian Husky.

In Memory of Natasha, "She passed away like a Husky."

On 11/12/06 at 6:15 PM our Siberian Husky, Natasha passed away at age 14. She was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Cancer in her mandible near the right eye 16 months prior. She received radiation treatment and lived considerably longer than most dogs after such a treatment.

On her last night of life, she was asked if she wanted to go for her evening walk, and she readily responded by coming to the door. She was taken for a short 15 minute walk out by the river in front of our home, outside where Huskies love to be.

When she got back to the entrance to the house, she just collapsed and passed away immediately. There was no suffering. She chose the time and way of her passing. She died with dignity, as she had always lived like a Husky, walking the trails on that day, which she used to run or drag me on.

We loved her so much, our canine family member, and she loved us all the more for giving her that extra 14 months of quality life and happiness after her treatment was completed. Her loving spirit will be deeply missed, but she remains alive in the Universal Spirit that we all share.

In memory of Muffin, my sweet black lab, who passed away on July 25th, 2007.
I was lucky to have her in my life.

"Muffin was special, with kindness, wisdom, and courage. She saved Bodie from a rattlesnake when he was 5 weeks old, getting bit numerous times, but she recovered after killing the snake. She saved me from an intruder, letting him know he was not welcome. For two weeks after this, she would sit up all night on my bed, ever watchful. I was afraid and she knew it, and I could see her eyes shining in the dark.

"She was sweet and well mannered, always eager to please. She loved to spend time with me at the ranch, swimming in the Carson River, and went with me when I rode.

"I miss my friend......."

Premo: 1986-2006
Premo wasn't just a horse. He was a stallion with the heart of a lion, with a sweet temperament which carries with it true strength. He was a fighter, and fought to the end. I learned many lessons from this horse over the years, and he humbled me. His kind eyes studied me with trust and curiosity, and I respected him.

'The Whisperer's Horse: There is nothing so strong as gentleness, Nothing so gentle as real strength.'

Call them at 686-PAWS if you need a kitty or a doggie or both. By the way, they adopted out Jerry's Mother's Dog to a nice lady, and Abby came back for a visit last week. She is doing great."

Buster says, " I thought this was cute; especially since there was not a Schnauzer included. We don't need to change a light bulb since we are already very bright. Haha!"

Subject: How Many Dogs Does It Take To Change a Light Bulb?

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've
got our whole lives ahead us, and you're inside worrying about
a stupid burned out bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring
that's not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

Rottweiler: Make me.

Lab: Oh, me, me!!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb!
Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?

German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these
people from the dark, checked to make sure I haven't missed
any, and made just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one
has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Malamute: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while
he's busy.

Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing
off the walls and furniture.

Poodle: I'll blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it.
By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be
dry.

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in
the dark.

Doberman Pinscher: Hmmm... While it's dark, I'm going to sleep
on the couch.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the
dark......

Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got this
hangover.....

Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there....

Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares? (This is my favorite)

Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a
little circle....

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a
light bulb.

Hound Dog: ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.z.z.z..z..z..z...z

A dog one good joke!
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.

The dog thinks, "Boy, I'm in deep doo doo now." Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees.

"Whew", says the leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dog
saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The cat is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."

Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks," What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet. And just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that monkey. I just can never trust him. I sent
him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"
