Will someone make the bombs stop going off? :bang: Shouldn't they ban the bomb testing after dark? It is almost my bedtime and all I feel is the earth shaking and a distant rumble from the leftover "Boom!"

Speaking of planes....is anyone going to the meeting concerning the DAM* Poison Plane? I signed the petition and have received the emails, but will not be in town. I am glad this protest seems to be going somewhere.

There was a very loud bang and shake about an hour ago. Had my dog shaking like a leaf. She hates the bombing.

A friend of mine refers to those booms as "the sound of freedom".

I live about 3 miles south of Redstone Arsenal that is located in Huntsville, AL. They too, do AlOT of bombing exercises. Monday while I was home, my doggies and I were watching TV. They started doing their bombing exercises, and I thought my windows were going to blow out of my house. It felt like an earthquake, the dog's went crazy!!!!! It scared me to death. I guess they do that in the day when I am not usually home. It was an eerie feeling.

JR - Catfish would be my new avitar - our dog - and my cat is Bubba (my old avitar).

And it is not good for them to eat starfish - it acts like slivers of glass in their stomachs (as told to me by a doctor) but for some reason the smell(odor) is so enticing to a dog - I can't imagine why!?!?!?

I love the fact you named your dog Catfish. We have 28-toed cat named Seabass. Our pride and joy!

Thanks for this thread. I was wondering what was going on over there. I thought if they told me they would have to kill me!

Olive - i'm sitting here trying to count how many toes that is per foot and I'm going to have to get the calculator to solve this one!!!

Catfish has been called Porkchop - among other things. Love the name Seabass - bet there is an interesting story there - wanna tell it?

Porkchop and Catfish are both fabulous pet names!

To help with the math, it's 8 on the front feet, 6 on the back. The name comes from a line in Dumb and Dumber. "Kick his as*,Seabass". She's a fiesty one!

Now even with the calculator, I had the math wrong - silly me, I was putting 7 toes on each foot. Is he any relation to the Hemmingway cats? Have you had him fixed - can we have some more many-toed babies? Oh, funn!!!

You ought to put Seabass in the paper of the NWFDN as the Pet of the Day. My Bubba was pet of the day back in November. I'm going to send in Fishers as soon as he gets his new bandana saying - Mayor of Seagrove.

Pet Seabass on the head for me!!!

Will do, she's right here in my lap!

She's no Hemmingway. She's a junkyard cat who's done well for herself. She is SPOILED ROTTEN! :wub:

Tell Catfish, Bubba, and The Mayor hello!

Those junkyard cats need more claws to catch the rats. :floor:

feed the dog 5 cotton balls soaked in heavy cream or half-and-half and watch the poops for blood or black asphalt-like stuff, if there take to vet otherwise fine - protects the guts and cleans out the glassy bits (and everything else)

There they go again. Last night and tonight the bombing is starting up around 9:00pm. They must be small bombs or either they are setting them off in an area farther away, because the sound/feel is a little more faint, like someone lightly jumping around on the porch. :bang:
