| No jet lag for 120 flying donkeys |
| 2011.09.23 17:01:03 | |
|
TEHACHAPI, Calif. (AP) — Most people have been on a plane with a few jackasses before. But 10 dozen donkeys on one flight? One hundred and twenty donkeys have arrived at a sanctuary in California on a plane from Hawaii chartered by the Humane Society of the United States. Tracy Miller, manager of Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue in Tehachapi, said Sunday the donkeys are "none the worse for wear" after the long flight and a two-hour drive Saturday that followed it. They are descendants of donkeys brought to Hawaii's Big Island to work coffee plantations then cast aside when they became obsolete. Recent drought conditions have brought hundreds of donkeys down from the mountains into developed Hawaii, where they have disrupted traffic and made other trouble for humans, inspiring a search for new homes.

| ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE by Baxter Black, DVM |
| 2011.04.07 02:58:09 | |
|
RUNNI N’ WI LD HORSES
The chase, the chase, the race is on The mustangs in the lead The cowboys hot behind the band Like centaurs, blurred with speed The horses’ necks are ringin’ wet From keepin’ up the pace And tears cut tracks into the dust Upon the rider’ s face The rank ol’ mare sniffs out the trail While never breakin’ stride But fast behind the wranglers come Relentless, on they ride Until the canyon walls close in And punch’ em through the gap Where bottled up, they paw and watch The cowboy shut the trap And that’ s the way it’ s been out west Since Cortez turned’ em loose We thinned the dinks and with the herd We kept an easy truce But someone said they’ d all die off If cowboys had their way So they outlawed runnin’ horses But who am I to say ‘ Cause, hell, I’ m getting’ older, boys And though I miss the chase His time, like mine, has come and gone’ We’ re both so out of place The glamour of our way of life Belies our common fate I’ m livin’ off my pension check And he’ s a ward of state But what a time! When he and I Ran hard across the land Me breathin’ heavy down his neck Him wearin’ no man’ s brand No papers gave us ownership To all the ground we trod But it belonged to me and him As sure as there’ s a God And if I could, I’ d wish for him And for myself, likewise To finally cross the Great Divide Away from pryin’ eyes
So in the end he has a chance To die with dignity His carcass laid to rest out there Where livin’ , he ran free And coyotes chew his moldered bones A fitting epilogue Instead of smashed up in a can For someone’ s townhouse dog.
