Pup of the Week | |
Aslan was rescued from the North Central shelter. He was owner surrendered when his family lost their home. We think he is a Chow mix, but he looks more like a bear masquerading as a dog! A cute, cuddly, character around 6 years old, who is a bit chubby at 90 lbs. Per his former owner, he can perform a variety of tricks, and is good with children and other dogs - but no kitties, please. Aslan is also house-trained and knows how to go in and out a doggy door. He is presently in a foster home with two other large dogs and is equally happy chilling out on the lawn taking in all the sights and sounds of nature or, cuddled indoors in a cozy dog bed. These photos are from his first day out of the shelter - pre-grooming. Like any double-coated dog,... | |
You can find out more about Aslan and our other dogs by giving us a call at 310-860-0171 or sending us an e-mail or visiting Bill Foundation.

It seems this moose got tangled up in some cable as it was lying on the ground. When the crew started hoisting from a mile away, they had no idea he was along for the ride!

A Surefire Winner
In these tough economic times, we are all looking for ways to increase our revenues and bottom line. I think the gentleman who wrote the following letter may be on to something that could benefit us all!!
Honorable Secretary of Agriculture
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir,
My friend, Dan Hansen, over at Honey Creek, Iowa, received a check for $1,000.00 from the government for not raising hogs. So I want to go into the "NOT RAISING HOGS" business next year.
What I want to know is, in your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to raise hogs on? And what is the best breed of hogs not to raise? I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all government policies. I would prefer not to raise Razorbacks, but if that's not a good breed not to raise, then I will just as gladly not raise Yorkshires or Durocs. As I see it, the hardest part of the "NOT RAISING HOGS' program is keeping an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven't raised.
My friend Hansen is very joyful about the future of the business. He has been raising hogs for twenty years or so, and the best he has ever made on them was $422.90 in 1968, until this year when he got your check for the $1000.00 for not raising 50 hogs.
If I get $1000.00 for not raising 50 hogs, then would I get $2000.00 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself to about 4,000 hogs not raised the first year, which would bring in about $80,000.00; then I can afford an airplane.
Now another thing - these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that the government also pays people not to raise corn and wheat. Would I qualify for payments for not raising these crops not to feed my hogs I will not be raising'
I want to get started as soon as possible as this seems to be a good time of the year for the "NOT RAISING HOGS" and "NOT PLANTING CROPS" business.
Also I am giving serious consideration to the "NOT MILKING COWS" business and any information you would have on the endeavor would be greatly appreciated. In view of the fact that I will be totally unemployed, I will be filing for unemployment and food stamps, and was wondering how long that process takes.
Be assured, Mr. Secretary, you will have my vote in the upcoming election.
Patriotically Yours,
Don Genereaux
P.S. Would you please notify me when you plan to give out the free cheese again'
