Jay’s Life

Its finally nice outside so today, Silkie let her babies out from under her! They are getting big and doing well!

In case you’re wondering what the site address is for the blog Jason created for Paul and Melissa’s wedding its:
http://wedding.sdf1.net
Its funny because i wanted to go take a look but i didn’t know the address…..what would Jason have called this…hmmm….*enlist the powers of Jason logic*…..wedding…….sure enough i was right…simplicity in itself

Check it out.

Our flock as expanded yet again! This one is a bit different. He’s a very rare Turquoisine Parakeet, an Australian grass parakeet. They are rather expensive if you can find a breeder that actually has them, but like all my other birds he is also a rescue. after a small fortune spent at an avian vet treating his injured leg. I took him to Dr. Valsamis at Brittania Animal Hospital and was HUGELY impressed with his knowledge and treatment, i’ll be taking all of my birds to him from now on.
I found him in the parking lot at my new job….on the first day…making me 30 minutes late after i drove him home…oops. Thank goodness Paul and Theresa are understanding people and forgave me!

We could use a little help naming this little guy. Spencer calls him Paint Bucket, Jason calls him Taz and I’ve been calling him Champ. If you got any suggestions I’d love to hear them!!! Thanks

Re: Johns comment from ‘Our Guard Dog’
Look at this goof! He’s just asking to be thrown in! I suppose if this weekend doesn’t change his mind we’ll have to take him and Sam to the lake…peer pressure might do the trick. lol

I have just been informed that staysea.sdf1.net stands for staysea.superdymentionalfortress.net
I dont know how much elce there is to say…………

I always new it stood for something nerdy and i can understand that, it is jasons server, but SUPER DIMENTIONAL FORTRESS is just about the lamest-nerd infested geeky name i’ve ever heard of!!!!!!

In future SDF1 stands for Sun Drenched Funtimes…….at least it does in regards to staysea.sdf1.net……(subject to change when i can think of something better)

My comment section is now a free-for-all-making-fun-of-Staysea session!! Proceed

This is my new dog Happie!! Hes a stunning blonde (unlike Spencer)! He’s actually a goofy Pitbull crossed with some Black Lab. If you haven’t met him get your butts over here!

We went to a real life Ho-down tonight!!! Incredible!! We’re in Edmonton at the Mayfield hotel, apparently in the evenings the hotel bar becomes a cougar bar! It was really wild, the average age in the place was probably close to 35-40. It was filled with women wearing clothes from Stitches and Sirens (stuff even my slutty friends wouldn’t wear. LOL) The best part was they were also wearing tummy-tucker nylons, open toed old lady sandals and things not seen in public since the 80’s (back-pack purses and tassels). Jason and I walked in, looked around, laughed, then ran away. We attracted quite a bit of attention when we walked in and my laughing didn’t win us a very enthusiastic response from the locals. Anyways we’re back in our room now trying to figure out what hotel Sonya and her family are staying in so we can hook up with them.

I got this exerpt from the Mississauga News. My brother, Spencer, when he read an article calling for the banning of Pit Bulls in Mississauga wrote this letter back to the editor, it was published a couple of weeks later.

I am so incredibly proud of him. I can’t even express how much gratitude I have for him and the efforts he’s making on the part of pit bulls. Its a personal mission of mine to rescue Pit Bull and raise the public awareness about the breed, but Spencer really stepped it up a knotch. I just wanted everyone to know how proud of him I am. With Spencer on my team, I know we can really make a difference!!

Dear Editor:

The Mississauga News
Mar 14, 2004

I opened the Wednesday, Jan. 28 edition of The Mississauga News to find a very informative story on the current plight of dog owners with regards to pit bulls.
Pit bulls, as outlined in the article, were first bred for killing and hunting and due to their (aggressive) nature, should be banned from residential areas. Since it is impossible to force dog owners to be responsible, banning the dogs is the only option. A very prudent decision.

Subsequently, of the same token, we should also ban automobiles because, as we all know, automobile accidents do happen. Since it is impossible to tell people that they shouldn’t happen, it is therefore the fault of the automobile.

Next on the chopping block should be all adults, since they cannot be held responsible for acts of child abuse and murder they commit, as recently seen in the news.

Where does it end? When will this landslide of “not me” and “bad dog” finally come to rest? When will people finally assume responsibility for their actions, as well as for the training and care of their children, as well as pets?

Obviously, you’ve never owned a pit bull. Our pit bull would run to the door and greet every visitor with a shoe. He gave you a shoe, whether you wanted one or not. The most danger he’d put you in would be from the wagging of his tail, proud of his accomplishment.

He weighed 60 pounds and still considered himself to be a lap dog. He would sit, watching and waiting patiently, for you to say okay so he could jump on the couch and cuddle with you. He would then inch his way up between you and the back of the couch, to snuggle right in, slowly stretching out. Eventually, he had 90 per cent of the couch and you had a sliver of the edge.

But, of course, he knew how to behave around humans, but how was he with other animals? Our black Labrador Retriever didn’t seem to mind him snuggling one bit. On walks, the 6-year old pit bull would wait patiently for the older lab to catch up, then he would run ahead, only to wait again. The only problem we ran into was that my bed wasn’t big enough for all three of us.

What do I think about pit bulls? What I wouldn’t give to have my dog back. He died of cancer four months ago and has left a huge hole in our hearts.

Any dog can be dangerous. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure proper treatment and training. If they can’t do that then they should be the ones banned from having pets of any kind.

I support the ban on irresponsible pit bull owners, not the dogs. If you treat them right, love them and train them, they can be the most caring and lovable creatures in the world.
