"Please Pass the Pooch"...NOT IN BEIJING DURING THE OLYMPICS!

SINCE IT IS FRIDAY...we can all use some comic relief...
I'm sending along a Yahoo News article, as well as the link, which led me to write this post. My previous blog post, leaned toward "my kind of serious."
(DISCLAIMER: I wrote my post BEFORE the Phil Gramm "controversy" started and I stand behind what I said. While I don't think Mr. Gramm is completely on the mark, I think Americans have to look INWARD at a lot of the mess we have found ourselves
in of late. Read, be informed and keep up with things YOURSELF! Don't be spoon fed by the mass media. Your brain is not a toy! -ah)
This should lighten the content matter of that blog post and thwart the notion that I have "gone serious" on you.
ENJOY...and THANK CHINA FOR BEING SO THOUGHTFUL.
I KNEW there was a very valid reason I had no real interest in the upcoming Olympics...
DOGS and DONKEYS! I take enough heat about goats and cats when we enjoy "other ethnic cuisine"...now ALL my critters are subject to sautee'! ARGH!
I found an article today on dogs being removed from Beijing menus during the Olympics. It was, well, "entertaining" if nothing more. As an aside, it appears that DONKEY will still be made available. I'll keep a close eye on things and let you know if DONKEYS get removed from menus too! Let's hope they do! Cinnamon and Muffin would NOT be pleased to know this. Makes me wonder if even little Cosmo the miniature horse is safe! He's a plump little fellow. I don't know how to cook a horse, but just looking at him, I think he'd be tender. I cannot IMAGINE eating animals that are DOMESTICATED in this country and OUR PETS! It's obscene! (Not to mention pretty disgusting.)
Geordie is thinking of getting Darcy, Chris, Dixie, Roly and Lucy together to stage a boycott. (Perhaps that radical daughter of mine will assist them in their plans to over throw the Chinese gubberment.) If any of your canine kids have a desire to join Geordie's efforts, just email ME. I will read the information to him. Like Wayne, he doesn't "DO" emails.
(While Wayne DOES have opposing thumbs, Geordie doesn't, so he sticks with his papa on the "email thing." I'm happy to help him with his protest however.) Cats, Donkeys, ferrets, boa constrictors and other pets are welcome to join in on the fun as well.
I must be a weirdo. I have no desire to eat border collie roast, beagle tar tar or rack of lab.
(But then again, in India, they think we're all going to hell (or coming back as a cock roach or something) for eating hamburger, so...???)
I'm just so thankful that the Chinese are so considerate of our eating habits. Let's hope they show that same compassion when they get ready to blow us off the map! Bear in mind, this post would not be happening if I were living in China. Internet will be restricted during the Olympics, as well as any doggie or parts thereof on the menu.
Till next time,
Annie
