Sweeet charter flight out of N'Orleans. Ricky and Lucy were among the lucky ones. Many did not get out; and many who were rescued never got adopted. A sad story, but a happy ending for some. Old Ricky gets the royal treatment at our house. He deserves it. We've adopted a few old service dogs...

[quote user="Clonnie Yearout"] Hey, curmudgeonry is a job with a title and I'm qualified -- I'll wear the hat if you'll let me keep my tongue in my cheek. [/quote] Understood. And whenever I act like an attack dog (and appear to be taking the debate here too seriously), remember...
