Exposing that poor unsuspecting animal to your Hillbilly Hoedowns would be considered animal cruelty in civilized society.

This isn't one of your northern foo foo dogs you carry around in your

He is a coon hound. That is the ultimate "hillbilly" dog. I bet he
will sing along at the bluegrass festivals and the people there will
love him. I actually looked at a Walker coon hound when we were
looking at dogs and he was on the short list but my wife really wanted
a lab puppy.

This same agency has a treeing walker coonhound, which I like also. If the Redbone falls through,
which it may if it has severe health problems, then I'll check out the treeing walker.

We had our eyes on a red bone at another agency. Then the lady said,

"John:

I might add that Nanny will require heartworm treatment, so will have to be kept very quiet for a
couple of months."

This was the third communication about the dog, and she's just getting to the fact that the dog has
heartworms. I called my vet to discuss the situation. She told me I'd be much better off looking for
another dog, especially after what I went through with the last one.

That sounds like what we were going through. It seemed every adoption
agency was full of very sick dogs. I have always had much better luck
at the pound. It is brutal but they just put sick dogs down. They also
put down a lot of healthy ones tho. My problem was everything seemed
to be pit bull mixes except the Walker I liked. It is funny that my
wife was worried that the Walker might be too "active" for us and then
she got a Lab puppy. This guy goes all day. I am not sure what I would
do if we didn't have a pool. I can wear his ass out playing "fetch the
fender" (yeah a "boat" fender, just to stay on topic).
We swim laps like I did with Mr Ed too.
BTW his "lifesaving" trick is coming right along. He has pretty much
figured out, if you grab his tail, he is supposed to pull you over to
the steps. He doesn't even turn around and look anymore. I try to do
that every time we are in the pool, a few times, so he gets used to it
just being what he is supposed to do. It was automatic with Ed. He
would come get you.

We adopted our lab from the pound. Good dog. Lasted 16 years. Then we had a cat die so got one from
the pound. Within three months we had to put it down. Then we got another one. After a couple
thousand more dollars trying to fix an infection, we put it down. So I'm not too thrilled with the
pound either.

With all that trouble in the past, why not contact the local American Kennel Club for recommendations on reliable breeders of the dog you really like?
What's a grand or two to y'all.

You and Harry do not seem to mind your dollars. Why he has filed
bankruptcy a couple times, and you are jealous of those who saved and
invested.

I just can't understand why 'mericans refuse to pay enough federal tax to get your country out of hock.
Y'all are constantly looking for ways to weasel out of paying your fair share.

I take the standard deduction, nothing beyond that. My tax return is
about like yours I imagine.
I do agree we are not paying enough tax unless we are willing to
drastically cut spending. Unfortunately so much of our economy is the
government spending money, it is hard to stop. DoD is the perfect
example. That even goes to propping up the economy of NATO nations.

Well, we pay lots of taxes. Unfortunately, the Federal Government has seen
fit to spend almost all of it on entitlement programs. And then the vote
buying Congress exempts 46% of the households from paying any tax. Screw
the workers. In California they are appropriately 40 million residents.
10 million illegals. 150,000 people pay 50% of the income tax paid to the
state. I have no problem making all pay their fair share. Harry seems to
ignore paying taxes.

Why not address your question directly to the American who doesn't pay his taxes?
