He does that spontaneously, by himself -
just puts his paw or chin on us.

    I've seen the pain too. My simpathies to you both. I guess it's best to have only great memories of your little loved one. :)

    Oh guys, I'm so sorry for what you're going through right now. I've just read through what I've missed for the last couple days, and I'm sitting here sobbing. This is what I frickin' hate about having dogs... yes, it's inevitable but it still sucks.

    One thing that really strikes me though is what you've done for Buster - like GIVE him life. My god, not many people can deal with dogs with issues like that. You've given him as normal a life as he can have, and I sure hope you know you are making the right decision for him. You seem to always have done what's in Busters best interest, and will continue to do what is best for HIM.

    And he sure seems to have brought a lot of joy in your lives. You can see his loving gaze in these photos. Sweet boy. Take care.

in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...

a patriot chooses canada

People frequently leave comments in the "Why Canada" post, which I wrote on my very first day of blogging. Here's one I wanted to bring to your attention, by Greg E, an American, copied here with his permission. I am an American who has lived with his Japanese wife in Tokyo for near nine years. Two years ago, we decided we wanted to raise our children in the West, and started looking at my homeland, as well as Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand. Of course, proximity to family was a powerful factor. However, Canada has other strengths that those other countries don't. It has the second largest quantity of fresh water beside Russia, some of the largest forest and timber resources in the world, global warming is making its climate more livable rather than more hostile (bad overall, but it can be a benefit to most of Canada), its water tables are not falling as quickly as the States, and many more factors I could name that will bolster its resource power and abil...

vancouver number one

Certain New Jersey residents, take note. Longtime wmtc reader RobfromAlberta pointed out that, once again, Vancouver has been rated the world's most liveable city . From the CNN story: Vancouver is the world's most desirable place to live, according to a new survey, while Papua New Guinea's Port Moresby is at the other end of the scale. The Canadian city, nestled on the Pacific coast, was one of four locations in that country to rank at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit's livability survey, which looked at conditions in 127 cities. The other top-ranking Canadian cities were Toronto, Calgary and Montreal. Australia also fared well in the survey by the London-based group, with Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney scoring high marks along with Vienna, Austria, and Geneva and Zurich in Switzerland. The EIU study assessed nearly 40 indicators in five broad categories -- stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. ALPF supplied me ...
