Blog Entry 5 of 14 Since you asked ...
General ramblings on subjects of interest to me, and me alone ... if anyone else finds them entertaining, so much the better.

Love for FREE!
Contributed by: Annie Miller   on 6/8/2007

Well, Roy still has two puppies left. They are both brown, one with a blackish muzzle and darker coat than the other. They desperately need homes. My neighbor said someone came and picked them up about a week ago, but brought them back a couple of days later. Puppies do need training and don't follow the rules unless painstakingly taught.

I will tell you that Baxter is proving to be a wonderfully entertaining puppy. He is almost (fingers and toes tightly crossed) house-broken. Jim thinks possibly because they were/are being raised outside, this is pretty much natural. He (Baxter, not Jim) is learning that biting is a big 'no-no' and that the shoes are, contrary to his way of thinking, not his!

He has found his 'voice' but is not obnoxious about it. Best yet - especially at three in the morning, he and our cat, Al*B, are getting on like gangbusters.

I am attaching photos of Baxter. Except for coloring all the pups are similar in appearance. If anyone is interested, I'm sure we could work something out.

(And, yes, I know, nothing especially a pet, is free ... but it was worth a try).

I severely loved my 'teenagers' and of course still love them as adults. I would NOT have missed ONE minute of their teenage lives, nor my quandaries on occasion. Though I might make jokes about humanity in the teens, I love them all, and I think I do understand what we all go through on a genetic basis.

I don't put so many response entries to be a bore. Each response entry is confined to so many words, and I am trying to put such things into smaller entries. My MIND far exceeds any such limits.

If you disagree, that is ok, but I'd suggest you do some research on these types of human matters. The historical record is very clear. Food for thought. ah well....

Annie, it was the atheist, and agnostic women who originally stood for basic human and female RIGHTS. None of it came form organized religion, nor any formulation of the Bible.

The same can be said about those opposed to human slavery in America. Frederick Douglass, a former slave born in America, was told by his master that he should NOT learn to read and write. I for ONE am damned glad he did. He learned to read and write on the sly, and changed the world.

The FREE LOVE movement arose from WOMEN who in fact had the guts to stand against a MALE, Protestant, Biblical, orientation to all of life. I applaud those WOMEN. They are now viewed as abject heretics, and not worthy of one human thought by most religious folks. Why is that exactly?

In fact, those courageous WOMEN stated thinking and writing, about the abject immorality of a 'man' centered, legally proscribed state of being. In those old days, EVERY WOMAN was to just put put with whatever from their spouces, and to SHUT UP. Some of them did not do so, and what became the FREE LOVE movement was the result. It all ground down to one issue, a woman's right to chose her OWN life in opposition to a male, and religiously driven, supported by LAW impulse.

Love for FREE? If I may say, the title of this blog brings to mind FREE LOVE, and that so-called movement in American history. Now, I almost certain that term 'today' brings to mind some Hippie, counter-cultural movement or idea. That term is now identified with those who seemingly wish to conjoin with any other person, in some sort of ecstatic, orgasmic, non-monogamous sexual affair. If one does historical research on this so-called movement, then one finds that it does NOT have these kinds of now current, allegedly, 'historical' understandings nor those types of impulses at all. Originally, the FREE LOVE movement was made by WOMEN, who were tired of living under the IDEA that a WOMAN had no rights, nor the ability to think for herself, and in opposition to the stark fact she could own no property, or have a say about her own life, her own emotions, her own thoughts, sexual desires, and instead THOUGHT that she should be able to have HER own position on any of those matters.

Annie, ha! and yeup. I've had the pleasure of raising three kiddos. Now if they had all been born teenagers, my guess is that there would be ZERO population growth. (tongue in cheek) I damned sure would not want to be a teenager again, and have seen the same thing in all my three. I'll keep my eye peeled about the pups. Hopefully you make Jim clean up his own uhh...'accidents', but I'm guessin' he does.
