You watch with moist eyes
As each day goes by
And you watch as they grow
And before you know it
You see how easily
They've become 'just family'

Special Celebrity Picture and Recipe: We are pleased to introduce you to Solleck, who was featured in the Xena episode "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Solleck, the Malamute, has been nice enough to send us one of his favorite recipes, Solleck's Special Biscuit, for inclusion in Chow Time. While some of the guys reckon a good recipe for mals is roast leg of door to door salesman, Solleck thinks his recipe would be more suitable. We would like to thank Peter and Josie Stables, of Hootaliqua Alaskan Malamutes in New Zealand, for their kindness and assistance. |

RAINBOW BRIDGE
"Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill or old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when your and your special friend finally meet, you cling to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress that beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together........"

Rum Tum Tugger
The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:
If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.
If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,
If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house.
If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,
If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse.
Yes the Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat--
And there isn't any call for me to shout it:
For he will do As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast:
His disobliging ways are a matter of habit.
If you offer him fish then he always wants a feast;
When there isn't any fish then he won't eat rabbit.
If you offer him cream then he sniffs and sneers,
For he only likes what he finds for himself;
So you'll catch him in it right up to the ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf.

For a similar reason, when game is in season
He is found, not at Fox's, but Blimpy's;
He is frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen
Which is famous for winkles and shrimps.
In the season of venison he gives his ben'son
To the Pothunter's succulent bones;
And just before noon's not a moment too soon
To drop in for a drink at the Drones.
When he's seen in a hurry there's probably curry
At the Siamese--or at the Glutton;
If he looks full of gloom then he's lunched at the Tomb
On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton.

Mungojerrie--or Rumpelteazer
When the family assembled for Sunday dinner,
With their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner
On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens,
And the cook would appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow:
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
For the joint has gone from the oven-like that!
"Then the family would say: "It's that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie--or Rumpelteazer!"--
And most of the time they left it at that.

Macavity
He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair--
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

Gumbie Cat
But when the day's hustle and bustle is done,
Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun.
As she finds that the mice will not ever keep quiet,
She is sure it is due to irregular diet;
And believing that nothing is done without trying,
She sets right to work with her baking and frying.
She makes them a mouse--cake of bread and dried peas,
And a beautiful fry of lean bacon and cheese.

3 cups Rice
2 tablespoons Cod Liver Oil
Method
Boil chicken in 6 cups water for 20-25 minutes, add carrots and potato chopped. Also add rice at this time, cover and cook as you would do for rice (low heat for apprx 30 minutes). I like to cook a little longer with a extra splash of water so the meat falls right off the bone. When cooked pull and shread meat to pieces. Stir. Add your cod liver oil. The oil has a fish smell but this goes away when it is cooled. Place in container and place in fridge.

The dogs who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a barking at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometime, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them...
and always will.

The Pets We Love
Dear Lord..........
Please watch over our humans, they are so weak.
They have no claws or teeth, they can't run fast or fly away,
neither can they burrow or build a nest in which to be safe.
They smell bad, do strange things that aren't altogether intelligent,
have no real ability to communicate with us,
although we are able to figure out what they want.
Lord, grant US the ability to watch over our humans,
care for them, cheer them when they are down,
make them laugh, smile, and shower them with our love.
We pray that we can bring a little joy into their otherwise mundane
existence...
Lord...please let them know that when we insist on getting attention,
its so we can check their emotional well being and boost their morale
When we pester them for different foods, toys, etc,
its so they will learn to see us in ways they hadn't considered,
bringing them closer and back into the fold...
which they are part of but keep forgetting about.
They expect us to know what they want
even though sometimes they don't know what we want.
Some of them really try and we know they love us
but some of them are so dumb
yet our love for them remains intensely unfaltering.
Lord, when we die, please make sure to send us ahead
to where ever our humans are going to be,
so we can pave the way for them,
vouch for them and be there for them when they too die.....
Please allow us to continue proving the humans are worth the effort.
You placed these humans in dominion over us,
but you charged us with the task of caring for them
And SHOWING them your love every one of them.
God bless these mere mortal humans,
they know not that we are their guardian angels
sent in love to task them so that they may grow
to be part of your plan.
You and Us God... we'll bring them back into the fold...
you and us.
