A Dog. An arrest. An impound. This morning Robert was outside our shelter waiting for it to open, nervous, restless, hopeful. He was here to redeem his dog, the love of his life, his buddy, his best friend, his Cody Bear. We worked with Robert on the minimum fees to redeem Cody Bear, Robert cried in happiness that his dog was here but sadness that he didn’t have enough money. Then a person overheard him and gave him some money, then another person and through the generosity of two strangers in the lobby, Robert paid his fees. Most reunions between owner and pet can bring tears to anyone’s eyes, but Cody Bear, upon seeing Robert, lunged towards Robert and jumped up on him with such enthusiasm and affection that he barreled him over and the two rolled around on the ground in the lobby. Employees cried, customers cried, Robert cried. The love between the two was overwhelming. We gave Robert as many pet supplies as we could gather; to whom much is given, much is expected. Staff purchased some snacks for Robert, employees at the spcaLA saw Robert outside and gathered some items for the pair as well. A concerned citizen went home and came back with a backpacking pack and bike for Robert. Robert has lost everything but he didn’t lose his Cody Bear… hours later while Robert waited for a ride from a friend, he was still tearing up that he had found his Cody Bear. Redeemed. Reunited.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-11059431747233168532013-04-05T22:12:55.444-05:002013-04-05T22:12:55.444-05:00Chickie and PK, I think it would be a real fashion...Chickie and PK, I think it would be a real fashion statement to have a high tech icon like an iPhone held together with duct tape, the more the better.

We bought our house in 1969, not 1965. It seemed like a lot of money at the time. Neither of us was making much money and we were about to have our first child. Still, we managed. If we had waited much longer to buy a house, we would not have been able to afford one in this area. Chickie, now that I've corrected my typo, I see you have got us beat. Yes, I think your analysis is spot on!<br /><br />Hey, after hearing about The Big Bang Theory from many of you, I have been watching some reruns and a couple of the new shows. I was whelmed. But then, I just caught what I think is a new episode called "The Alien Parasite Hypothesis." It was really funny and very enjoyable overall.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-57728155480252018222013-04-05T19:54:29.895-05:002013-04-05T19:54:29.895-05:00PK, I had the same problem with my phone.

We even were part of our neighborhood's Fourth of July celebration as they had a float for all of the original owners in our tract. There were quite a few of us who rode the float.<br /><br /> I think the Calif. weather, the jobs available, and other things we Californians brag about are what keep us grounded in one place. We have two of our daughters living close, also, so it is hard to give up those family ties.<br /><br />Mari, My thumbs are down for Kripkey and Tenure.

(At least it was difficult for me.)<br /><br />I had the theme idea when I got Stick up pix, but some of the easier 3 and 4 letter words defeated me, therefore, I didn't get all the theme answers without some Google help. <br /><br />I thought '50's tankers was a great clue. A different one for Edsel which we see fairly often. I also liked Lost, as a tail/Shook. I, too, read a lot of mysteries and detective stories.<br /><br />I did want to say Happy Birthday to Irish Miss and to Abejo, too. Another shared birth day on the Corner. This makes two so far as I know.<br /><br />We've had more company this past night and morning, so I'm catching up on my newspaper and CW rather late in the day.<br /><br />Have a great weekend, everyone.Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-81940227060423265702013-04-05T19:29:48.639-05:002013-04-05T19:29:48.639-05:00Oh, my goodness!

His (her?) snarkiness is too pervasive.<br /><br />Happy birthday Irish Miss and Abejo! If it so happens that you two are among my favorites, I'll be sure not to mention it. :>)<br /><br />So, I just realized something somewhat special. I've lived in California, almost at the same location, for 50 years. I came out here because of a job offer at Hughes Aircraft Company in 1963. Hughes was in Culver City. One of the other engineers knew I was looking for a place to rent and he showed me around Manhattan Beach, where he lived. I rented a place a half-block from the beach. When it burned down, I moved to a little house about a half-mile away, When Barbara and I got married in 1965, we lived in two other apartments close by. We finally took the plunge and bought our house in 1965 where, except for a one-time remodel and addition, we've lived ever since. All of those places are within about a one-mile radius.<br /><br />Has anybody else stayed put longer?<br /><br />[poopydoopy]Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-87577730000560051822013-04-05T18:52:41.751-05:002013-04-05T18:52:41.751-05:00Just an Actor @3:48, not a real doctor.
