We miss Daisy, but we are again cat sitting at our neighbors. Been busy, no job yet, though selling some things, and getting a couple of roof estimates to patch our roof, so making progress. Right now I am working on a project for Romeo, Michigan, their 175th anniversary and though it is all volunteer, but I think will lead to some great net-working.

BUT, I wanted to leave you with this story, of what happened to me yesterday going to Washington, Michigan, just past and south of Romeo for me, to their historical club meeting, at the museum that I attended 5th & 6th grades in this old 1917 school. So it is long, but it has a link, to a story, sad about an abused pit-bull dog, with a link to Lulu's last vet, Dr. Booth.

************************************************** *

One story I am going to end with, and if I can find the link I will post it. This is a true story and you will see Lulu's Dr. Booth too

Anyway, on my way to Washington, Michigan (named after America's first president, George Washington) I went through Romeo, my usual way to get there. I took my pictures, and told me about an abused dog, pitbull, but a gentle dog, that was being used to train more aggessvie dogs for 'dog fights' (illegal in Michigan). Now the dog was in very bad shape, and it was rushed to Wilson's Veterinary Clinic in Romeo, where our precious was going for her treatment and testing of her Cushing's Disease.

Moo called and said that it was Dr. Booth (Lulu's last vet doctor) that was treating this dog, and that she had recorded the news item on . So when I came home I could watch it.

I had told that I wanted to give a couple of dollars (and I would have done more, but we really couldn't afford to do more) for his treatment, since they were taking donations for this. Well, we had thought maybe five dollars, and I was going to not buy any new milk for my cereal, cut back on soda pop and such. I waited five minutes or more as they were very busy, and ended up giving them five dollars instead. I know I shouldn't have, but I just felt that Dr. Booth had treated us well and had done his best for Lulu and it was just her time to go, after having lived such a great life. Now, get this, when I got back in my truck it was 6:53 pm and I was about 10 minutes away from my meeting at 7 pm at the school. Well I got up to the road, and a clear sound of music 'Sherry' from Frankie Valli and the 'Four Seasons' came out of my radio and it is one of my favorite oldies. Then I thought this was too clear to be from the station I had on.

I then realized that it was coming from CD #4, which I had put into that slot for the 'Four Seasons' Greatest Hits. The ONLY problem was my CD player had not worked in over three years. I had two to three CDs stuck in the radio carousel and it would not play, and I couldn't pull them out, bang them out and I just left them in there.

So I don't know how this happened, but I decided to listen to them all the way there and then back home, because I thought that is a good sign, I donated five dollars to a good cause, and I got rewarded by having something that I used to listen to a lot, and as I recall, I used to play that CD often when I would have Lulu in my truck.

They say what goes around comes around and Karma is a powerful thing. You did a good thing, at a cost to yourself, it wasn't a freebee, you paid for it by going without something you would have liked to have, to do something good and helpful for another creature in this world.
I'm proud to know you and moo through this forum, that in so many various ways, has brought us all together. As my mom would have said, "you're good people". That too is a precious gift to this world.

Bi g HI to you and Moo! :) So pleased to hear from you. What a nice person you are donating to the injured doggy! But I must say I was reading the story getting more and more excited that it was going to end with you getting your new dog Stella! :p But I guess the CD suddenly springing into life is a sign life is going in the right direction. :)

You sure are keeping yourself busy, sorry to hear you are still looking on the job front but I am sure with all these positive signs it is not far away.

Hugs to you both
Trish xx

Thanks. I pasted the line text, but forgot the link to the story. Here it is.

What a great story! Yep, I think Lulu touched that CD player just for you because she is so proud.

It's a sign that she's proud of you dad <3

Well the CDs lasted until yesterday, Sunday evening. I was moving things back to the house from the barn for summer, deck table, chairs, small paddle boat for the pond, and then I had the Four Seasons on again at the pond, as I took out the boat, then I parked the truck by the basement, left the radio on, still playing Frankie Valli and then I came back and I had a Flint, Michigan FM radio station playing oldies on. I tried to get CD #4 to work or CD #2 to work the two that were working for me the last 10 days, but no luck, couldn't get them to play, nor eject. Well do I have to donate more? Well Moo showed me a picture of the pitbull dog Dr. Booth was treating and he is doing wonderful and he looks very upbeat! Yeah!

Now today I walked the trails Moo mowed, and I fed the fish in the pond including the catfish, our pets, and I remember how Lulu used to love and eat the fish food I would throw on the ground for her, so I put a few bites there for her! You know that is how she came to our home in November 2000, as Moo had thrown away our old dog food after we had lost Barry, our English Setter and the next day, Lulu showed up, eating the food Moo threw out, then a young 4 months old.

Awww you have catfish for pets eeeek!! Hmmm I wonder if Stella will like the fish food smell, I am still waiting for her to appear in your stories!!

You are patient with the CD player, if it was me I would have the screwdriver in their trying to pry them out, but then I have never been known for my DIY skills. Lovely to hear from you... big HI to Moo!! xx

Thanks Trish, and yes I have tried everything to get those CDs out. They are copies, I have the original Four Seasons and CD#2 was a CD I put together of songs. I may try again.

Hey, on Toledo, the abused and used PitBull I donated my five dollars too. He's doing very well now. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater
