Is that old or young by snake standards? I have to admit I know very little about them.

Ball pythons can live up to an average of 20 years if bred in captivity. I don't think of it in terms of dog years. But human years, yes.

We live out in the sticks, and being animal lovers, have collected some some stray cats. Unfortunately some had litters before they could be fixed.

One of the babies was white and was the first to venture out in the world and I decided on a name for the "great white hunter", Bwana. As it turned out, she was not a male, so we changed the name to Bwanee.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeah, that is so messed up. Too many people seem to regard dogs as toys that are there for their amusement.

I don't know why the deaf, blind, and mute man (it's not PC to say 'dumb' anymore, right?) had Keller to begin with. He wasn't a helper dog or anything like that. I think the guy thought "he's a Golden Retriever, he'll be my seeing eye dog," or something like that. We are piecing together bits of information. Apparently he would stomp on the ground to call him.

Poor boy has had sensory deprivation. He's smart as hell, though. He figured out the doggy door in the first 20 mins.

Awwww... I want to give Keller a hug so bad!

I've heard stories about my dad's dog, You Be, before he was my dad's dog that make me want to cry. He's such a good dog that I hate hearing about the things he went through. His former owner, a homeless guy that lives on my dad's business property, would go on drug binges and would leave You Be tied up in their little makeshift shed/shelter all alone for days and lots of other, worse stuff than just neglect that I don't even want to recount.

Now, though, You Be is 15 pounds overweight (rather than about 15 pounds under), sleeps on a memory foam dog bed and goes absolutely everywhere with my dad.
