I love cats...we have three now here, I love dogs too   We always had cats when I was little.

my dog loves cats....lol.....when our older cat passed a few years ago he started chewing everything and did not like when we left even for an hour or so....the vet recommended we adopt another cat so we did and problem solved....lol....he's just a dog that needs a cat in his life...LOL

Marmaduke loves to CHASE cats!!! He sniffs them out of the bushes across the street. Once the chase is over, he's finished with them!!! Doesn't bother much with dogs either, other than to sniff them, then go off and hike his leg on our tree!!! LOL 

LOL

OK....have to take a dinner break.  It's ready.  Hope to get back while you guys are still on.  If not, I'll check in tomorrow and have a great evening!  I'll stay signed on...and hope I don't forget to log out!!  LOL


I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship.  Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer.

I am so afraid that it is going to effect our other dog here when something happens to Bella...he has been with her since he was 8 weeks old...He is so afraid of everything and when they have to be boarded he always has to stay in the run with her...it is going to be hard on him I am afraid...

it can be.....do you think he would bond with a new dog or puppy??

I don't know April...I don't know if we are even wanting a new puppy or dog right now.  This is really tough on my daughter and her hubby because they have never been faced with it before!

Howdy, Sisters! Hope all of you had a memorable Good Friday.

Thought I would pop in while my rice is cooking!😋 Seems all I do is cook!! Tomorrow I'm doing a turkey---the day before Easter. Our Annual Adult and Children's Easter Egg Hunt is canceled this year because my SIL and her family are spending tomorrow and Sunday at Great Wolf Lodge about 2 miles south of Disneyland!!! LOL I'm always amused when people go to a local place for a vacation...but I guess it's a popuar thing to do these days! The rest of the family will miss the Easter Egg Hunt hiatus....but hope that next year we can have it again!!😃

Hey Jet *waving*  so what's going with the rice??????.......LOL     

 
Hey, April....What's going with the rice is something the pizza store owner gave us!!! It's chicken and garbonza beans and onions. We are going to put it on brown rice with garlic butter!! It looks alot like something I make with more of a Latin flair (pinto beans, tomatoes, chicken) that goes on brown rice.

Oh that sounds good

how are your dinners going Kos?????   anything special planned for Easter????

The dinners are going well and are attracting a lot of attention.  I promise to write a post about all that has happened.  In the meantime those of you who do Facebook.  We have an FB page, Beloved Community of DeKalb County, Illinois.  Activists from Chicago showed up on Sunday night.  The price of these going well is that all sorts of folks now want to partner.  Sometimes that means take over.  My younger son, the singer wants to do a video essay about BMI (Black Male Initiative), their realtionship with both police departments (university and city) and the fact that when the dinners are not near campus, the NIU police chief and his officers provide rides for these young me.  My son said, "This, I bet, is the only place in the nation that there is this kind of relationship between the police and young African American men."
 

He is probably right.  You know, it would be nice if something like your community dinners hit the mainstream media, showing all of the "good" out there instead of all of the riots and such.  That being said, I kind of hope that your dinners/groups kind of stay small and connected.  When you get others involved, especially in a "take over" thing, you lose exactly what you were trying to accomplish in the first place.  Does this make sense?

It absolutely makes sense.   But we also know that we need to shape the inevitable growth that is coming.  I have found, to my delight, that being almost 75 has been a plus.  But is also helps enormously that I threw my lot in with an African American church in 2001.  I am not viewed as an activist by other white people; but, to my utter surprise the white activists listen to me when I tell them that they are "barking up the wrong tree" with their top down initiatives.  If we want to build trust, it has to be grassroots or from the bottom up.  And when numbers drop you do not give up.  Now it is obvious hat if we did a major publicity campaign, we could be getting 250-300 people to our dinners.  So a small group of us is talking about how to pull this off while maintaining the wonderful vibe that permeates the dinners.  The conversations at the last two dinners have been particularly good.
