If she were just fifty-five years younger...(Hopefully not with her current sexpot hairstyle.)

She's one of the biggest financial contributors to PETA, believe it or not.

I don't think I've ever seen that. The only game shows I like these days are Jeopardy and Pyramid, though I seldom watch either. BTW, I'm the only earthling who hates The Price Is Right.

She also has Christmas ornaments in the shape of pets. I bought a Scottie (of course

) one at Saks when I wqas in NYC last Thanksgiving weekend. It was like $50. But, it said most of the price went to animal charities. So, I felt less guilty

How's your Scottie feeling? Any better?

Sadly the 13 year old (which is old) Maggie the Moo Cow a/k/a Mahalia Jackson (hey she's black and she likes to sing

), will have her spleen removed next Wednesday. Although the ultrasounds indicate she just has non-specific lesions in her spleen, personally, I fear they will find lots of cancer when they open her up. If so, I will not let them wake her (there goes my heart

). But, if that is the way it has to be - so be it

I would much rather "it" happen that way, she is in little to no pain right now, than what I had to go through with my other beloved Scottie the nine or so year old "Mimi the Sheep," who I had to keep in Cushings' Disease medication for three years. Then in the end (5/01), she was skin and bones (down to 13 pounds from 25 pounds in about a week) and her mouth and escaphogas had ulcerated (in about a week) - it was awful. I knew it was the end, but I did not realize how much she had deteriorated and fortunately, although she took lots of medication, she was pretty much fine for 95 % of those three years. She was born with one kidney and when it finally went, it was relatively swift (three weeks). But, the end was horrendous. I wanted to put her to sleep at the beginning of the end, but I am not her only owner and 50% does not a majority make. I actually thought about just stangeling her, but could not bring myself to do it. Then, to add insult to injury, the doctor's first injection of the euthenizing barbituate did not kill her. He had to leave the room for what seemed like ten days and get another one and find a better vein. I almost died.

Well, how's that for a downer!!!

On a lighter note, I have the one and one-half year old Wynn and Laine to share the grief.

Here they are

Those Scotties are lucky to have you.
(And do they always look like a red X in a square, 'cuz that's what I see.)

Thanks!!!!

I have no clue how to post that pic. So, I put up the link!!

Betty was great again Sunday night. Definitely up for an Emmy, I'm sure. I loved the line about the blond lawyer's mouth & "Oh my, you're black."

She steals every scene. Ed Asner is good, too.
I liked when James Spader mouthed off at Eugene. James's character is much better than Bobby, whom I never cared for.
The only thing wrong with the show these days is they need to do more with Camryn Manheim. They're wasting her.

She will certainly get nominated.

I think Kelley is going to pull one over on us and reveal that it was her that killed that woman. But I'm thinking that it's that asshole cop.

"No offense, dear, but your mouth looks like a drive-thru for oral sex."

I am totally loving this storyline. And when she went to the DA at the end of the show? All I could say was "Bitch!" and I never thought I'd say that about Rose Nylon.

Jill Clayburgh and Patrick Dempsey are pretty good, too; I'm diggin' them.

As for Spader? I loooooooooooooooooove him. He is great in everything, but especially this. They need to bring back Sharon Stone; their scenes together were on fire.

Camryn? You need a storyline!!! I lvoe her to death, but why won't they give her more to do?!

I agree with you. Her performance on The Practice is very good. She is also very funny. The lines that come out of her mouth... haha. Watching the show last night, I was convinced that either her character killed that woman or the cop. However, I am not ruling out the wife. I just can't wait to see this show next week! James Spader is a very welcome addition to the show. I love his character!
