A Tribute To Lady at OneTrueMedia.com

2011-12-11T19:20:00.002-05:00

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message She Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

She was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Snickers Forever Loved at OneTrueMedia.com

2011-09-01T18:38:00.001-04:00

Thirteen years ago, September 2nd, you were born into this world and at 11 years 10 months you were taken away.
Inside I'm crying, every minute of every day
Memories are painful, and the memories I hold dear,
I'd give all I could ever have, just to have you near.

Mourning has not broken; I don't think it ever will,
There's nothing on this earth, that void could ever fill.

I think about the first time, I saw your little face,
The love I felt as I held you in a mother's embrace.
I said I hardly know you, and already love you so much,
With your paw in my hand, the warmth in that touch.

There's nothing in life, compares to our family and you,
Just how deep my love was, I hope somehow you knew.
I can only hold onto our family, and try to let them know,
My hearts attached to yours and theirs, and I'll never let go.

I can't say goodbye, I'll say till I see you again,
You were more than just a dog your were my baby and my friend
I'll picture you at Rainbow Bridge, in peace and harmony,
And long for the day, you will once again, be with me.

I love you Snickers, Happy Birthday.
Your mom

Lesbians, We Love Our Dogs!

2011-08-08T14:50:00.001-04:00

Lesbians LOVE their dogs – love them beyond reason at times. They are our babies and our pals, our companions and our counter parts. No breed out of bounds and in some cases no number too many. We carry them in pouches and coordinate matching bandanas as we walk them through the city streets. We get down face to face and play kissy face and talk like that dog might just have something to say as well. Why do we have to have dogs and why do we love them so much??

In a world of judgment and neglect, in a world of bigotry and long hard evil looks, these creatures afford a person unconditional love. In a world where angry judgment and nasty slurs are thrown our way day in and day out – how great is it to come home and feel all that love??

The love without need for explanation or reason. These dogs love us– respect the hand that feeds them and give loyal company all the days of their lives. In a world were racial tensions, bigotry and hate for what only seems diametrical is so prevalent – these canines love their masters – without knowing what their owner’s sexual orientation might be or how society might pigeon hole us.

I am not sure if this is scientific evidence – but in a way – doesn’t that prove that we are all truly the same deep down inside? Doesn’t it show that regardless of our hair or dress, color or brogue, girl on girl or boy on boy preferences, that we are all actually more similar than not? Doesn’t it prove that we all deserve unconditional love – no matter who we are in love with? I think it does.

LGBT Pride For Your Dog and Cat

The Dance

2011-08-03T16:54:00.002-04:00

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

Cats and Dogs

2011-08-03T15:36:00.000-04:00

Cats and dogs have different views on life. Can the two species live together peacefully?

Dreaming of adding a dog to your happy, contented cat household? Worried the fur may fly? You can maintain harmony in your newly expanded pet household as long as you're willing to be patient, responsible and caring.
First, recognize cats and dogs are two different species and they view the world differently, especially in your home.
"Cats are territorial. When you go on vacation, they're just happy to get a post card," says Pam Johnson-Bennett, animal behaviorist and author in Nashville, Tenn. "Dogs are a different story. They want to go with you on vacation. As long as they are with you, they are happy."
Hierarchy Versus Territory
Johnson-Bennett's tongue-in-cheek comment actually highlights the essential difference in what makes dogs and cats tick. Dogs, being pack animals, look to a leader for guidance, direction and approval. They gladly follow the leader and contentedly accept their place in the household hierarchy.
Cats, on the other hand, are more turf-oriented. And, while they certainly bond with their human companions, cats tend to feel more anxious or defensive than dogs when their territory namely, your house gets disturbed or threatened by change or a newcomer. For the unsuspecting new dog entering your home, this can mean trouble.
That's why it is important to understand how dogs and cats socialize before making the introductions, says Larry Lachman, Psy.D. and animal behavior consultant in Carmel, Calif. In his new book, Cats on the Counter, Lachman addresses the topic of bringing a new dog into a cat household.
"A well meaning, fun-loving dog may chase a cat thinking it's a playmate. Dogs chase as part of their play," Lachman says. "For the cat, that may mean its territory has been violated and it may defend that territory. This can be very traumatic for the cat. If either animal has not had a previous positive history with the other, then the introduction can be very difficult."
The socialization and developmental stages of cats and dogs also vary. Recognizing this will help you have a happy household. If possible, try to time your cat-dog introductions during their respective peak times of sociability. Cats go through their sensitivity period between 2 and 7 weeks of age, and dogs, between 3 and 12 weeks, says Nicholas Dodman, DVM, a veterinarian and animal behaviorist at Tufts University Veterinary Medical School in North Grafton, Mass.
"A lot depends on the animal's early experiences. If the animals are introduced in a friendly way during this period, your chances of success are very high," Dodman says. "I actually have a video of a cat that bonded with a mouse during this period and the two remained best friends throughout their adulthood. There's the famous case of Coco, the gorilla who bonded with a cat. When the cat had her litter, Coco was the only other creature that was allowed to groom the kittens. This period really allows for biblical expression, 'The lamb will lie down with the beast,' to come true."
Genetics Plays Key Role
Cat owners know each cat possesses a distinct personality. It does not come about by happenstance nor is it solely shaped by the cat's early socialization experiences. A good percentage of a cat's personality is genetic, say animal experts. Certainly a cat's personality will be shaped to some degree by its environment, but a good portion of its personality is predetermined, Dodman says.
"An alert-personality cat tends to be in a vigilant state quite often, staying very wary of its environment. An equable-personality cat has an even personality and can be quite even tempered. A sociable cat has an outgoing personality while an unsociable cat shies away from interaction," Dodman says. "The tricky part you may not know your cat's genetic personality type."
Nature clearly has its role in the formation of a cat's personality, but your cat is not just a sum of its genetic parts. Any early experiences dogs and cats have with the other species can be effective predictors about how they will get along as housemates.
Animals adopted as adults may pose special problems because their early experiences are unknown. Shelter animals may actually do quite well because of their time spent around other species, but you won't know until it is time to introduce them to a new animal in your home. Adult animals may have to unlearn early negative socialization the prospect may make them more than just a little reluctant to be friends with a different type of animal. Clearly, the work has the potential for being much more challenging for you and the animals.
"You can engineer the worst learning totally by accident. The other species is seen as something completely different and if something negative occurs, it can leave an indelible negative image," Dodman says.
Although it may mean a more difficult adjustment period, the situation is not necessarily hopeless for older animals or even animals that have had some negative experiences. The answer lies in the structure of the introduction process.
Lachman believes in practicing the art of patience.
"I believe the introduction needs to be done very gradually. It is important to build from one step to the next without trying to hurry," he says.
He points out that in most cases, it is best to get the cat first, so the dog can see the cat as a fellow pack member. It also makes sense to have each animal spayed or neutered, to cut down on any tendency toward aggressive behavior.
New Cat in a Dog Household
Introducing a new cat into a dog household can be tricky but not impossible, notes Carole Wilbourn, a cat therapist in New York City, "Cats on the Couch" columnist and author of The Total Cat.
"It's important to realize it will take longer for an adult cat. You should also be careful that the dog isn't too big and dangerous to a kitten. It makes sense to wait until the kitten is at least 3 months old," she says.
Before introducing a cat as a new member of the household, Wilbourn suggests giving each of the animals an object with each other's scent so they will become familiar with their new housemate's smell. When the cat arrives, keep it inside its carrier at a healthy distance from the dog, so they can observe each other safely. Take the cat out of the carrier gradually, but keep them separated by a screen and a gate. Let them explore one another at their own pace.
When the day arrives that you feel confident to bring the two together, do so under close supervision, and keep a water spray bottle handy. You can squirt in case you need to separate the two. Maintain a relaxed, positive attitude and heap on the praise for good behavior as the two intermingle.
"Try not to transfer your anxiety to the animals. They can easily pick it up," Wilbourn says.
There are plenty of circumstances when a new dog walks into a room and immediately becomes chums with the cat. Not something to bet on, but it does happen.
The two can reap wonderful benefits from sharing the same house without being best buddies.
The introduction of a cat can ease separation anxiety for a dog that doesn't like to be left alone. Both animals are certain to get more aerobic activity and stimulation as they bound about throughout the day. Their coordination and dexterity skills are honed. And, they won't be bored.
Maintaining a cat-dog household benefits you and, in a broader sense, your community, Johnson-Bennett says. Both animals will make better neighbors with other cats and dogs. "Cats and dogs are really good at compromise. A cat will make concessions to play with a dog, taking into consideration what dogs like to do," she says. "The dog, at the same time, learns to respect a cat's needs, such as territory. They really compromise a whole lot better than people do."
