You know, a caption contest on that pic may be good... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68466 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68466 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:56:41 -0600 Fbl, Bonnie's site has a lot of success stories, and some less than stellar outcomes. I came to the "dogs/cats in Iraq" issue from the just great little (less than 200 pages) book "From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War and a Dog Named Lava". A five star read, imo. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68354 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68354 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 21:15:14 -0600 Yes, I'm aware the order. It is also my understanding that regulations are being unofficially loosened in many, many cases (though I'v also heard stories of camps where dogs on base are shot at sight). But I know of at least half a dozen cases of Iraqi dogs being brought to the U.S. either by returning personnel or on behalf of the family of someone who was KIA. In fact, Blackfive has been following a case of the latter type. Glad to hear about Bonnie's work! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68352 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68352 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:56:40 -0600 http://www.militarymascots.org/ Mike]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68350 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68350 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:36:16 -0600 The Uk only needs three things. A) A government for the people not for themselves. B) Justice. C) More sites to dump trash - the two legged type. Recently an 85 year old woman was sent to jail for six weeks for not paying council tax. Same day, same court, a drug deal who supplied twelve year olds got 80 hours community service. And our "government" call this justice. It stinks. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68333 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_7_jan_1.html#comment-68333 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:27:53 -0600
