And so it is. Hallelujah
And as I lit, a glow arose
From the tip of the roach
And the end of my nose
Ouch
Hey, how is Billy getting along?

This is "Billy", I rescued him from an RSPCA home three weeks ago. He had been there since last January. There is a lot of people who see Staffies as fighting dogs with bad tempers. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are just the sweetest, loving easy going dogs that you could wish to meet. But there are many bad owners who used to bait them into fighting for betting money.
Billy had to be assessed by the police, under the dangerous dogs act. There is just a hint of American Pit Bull about him. But, he passed easily.
We have just the most wonderful time together, and my father, who has dementia, is adoring having a new dog around the house. It is doing the world of good for him too. If only Billy knew how much he is loved.
We have worn him out today, so the only new picture I have is of him in his bed snoring away......
Now, over to you, lets see your pooch or pet, and the story behind. There may be some rep points from the penguin also !!!

This is fish and chips. We got,these because,my daughter emptied,the last ones down the loo...
You see the genes that started the Pit Bull in Billy. His ancestor probably came over on the Mayflower and lifted his leg on Plymouth Rock.
I agree with you that they are the sweetest breed if treated with love and kindness. I've met many I've admired. I've also seen some mean people who had no right to touch such a fine animal , let alone turn it as mindless and heartless as themselves through intentional and methodical cruelty.
The Pox on those people.
I've still got the Hound that I tried to pawn off/... I mean donate to you.
His hip displexia is getting worse so the idea he will be adopted is dimming.
It looks like I'm elected to keep him. That's ok considering the alternative..

We could have saved them the money for this survey huh..
..if only they had asked.
Medicinal cannabis does not cause serious side-effects when used to treat chronic pain, according to a new study.
When the drug is used as part of a treatment plan to help ease chronic pain, researchers have deemed it is 'reasonably safe'.
Scientists said they found no evidence of harmful effects on people's cognitive function, or blood tests, and they noted 'significant improvement' in their levels of pain, mood and quality of life.
Dr Mark Ware, from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre in Montréal, said: 'This is the first and largest study of the long-term safety of medical cannabis use by patients suffering from chronic pain, ever conducted.
'We found that medical cannabis, when used by patients who are experienced users, and as part of a monitored treatment programme for chronic pain over one year, appears to have a reasonable safety profile.'
Dr Ware's team found patients with chronic pain who used the drug daily for one year, under careful monitoring, did not have increased serious adverse effects compared to pain patients not taking the drug.
They say their findings, published online in The Journal of Pain, will serve as a benchmark study on the side effects of cannabis when the drug is used in pain management.
Researchers followed 215 adult patients with chronic non-cancer pain, who used medical cannabis.
They compared them to a control group of 216 chronic pain sufferers who did not use the drug.
The cannabis users were given access to herbal marijuana containing 12.5 per cent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the active ingredient in the drug - from a licensed cannabis producer.
The drug was dispensed through the hospital pharmacy at each of the study locations, and patients collected their supply each month after completing necessary visits and tests.
Along with information on adverse effects, participants underwent lung function and cognitive testing.
And they were asked about their pain, mood and quality of life over the one-year follow-up period.
A number of the subjects underwent complete panels of blood tests for routine biochemistry, liver and kidney function, and selected hormone levels.

Scientists said they found no evidence of harmful effects on people's cognitive function, or blood tests, and they noted 'significant improvement' in their levels of pain, mood and quality of life
The average amount of cannabis used overall was 2.5 grams per day whether smoked, vaporised or taken as edibles.
Dr Aline Boulanger, director of the pain clinic at the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, said: 'Our data show that daily cannabis users had no greater risk than non-users to experience serious adverse events.
'We found no evidence of harmful effects on cognitive function, or blood tests among cannabis consumers and we observed a significant improvement in their levels of pain, symptom distress, mood and quality of life compared to controls. '
However, the researchers did report an increased risk of non-serious adverse events in medical cannabis consumers such as headache, nausea, dizziness, somnolence, and respiratory problems associated with smoking.
Dr Ware added: 'It is important to note the limitations of the study.
'Patients were self-selected, not randomised, and most were experienced users.
'So what we are seeing is that it appears to be a relatively safe drug when used by people who have already determined that it helps them.
'We cannot draw conclusions about safety issues of new cannabis users'.

My little girl
She looks a lot like Hounds girlfriend from next door.
It's hilarious to watch the petite fem flirt with the 70 pound bruiser who is gentle as a lamb with her.
I don't know where his urges come from since he was completely cut rather than the modern snip method.
