Many years ago...The TV show "Charlie's Angels" was popular, and, of course Farrah Faucett was making her debut...One very rainy day my parents heard a scratching at the front door...looked out..didn't see anything..but again there was scratching. My father went out on the front porch to find this puppy..about the size of a mouse..it was kinda, a little bit of, somewhat of a minature Dachsund...and, when they couldn't find out where she'd come from..they kept her...named her Farrah.. I have a little dog Her name is Farrah She will defend me from The most vicious sparrow She will hop on a tub Or sit on a log She thinks she's human But she smells like a dog. Like sparkling jewels Her eyes glow clearly She's six years old And housebroken, nearly She's a part of the family That earns no wage But Farrah I wish you A ripe old age. (Farrah died at age 17, a few months after my parents passed away. I'm convinced it was from a broken heart.) [This message has been edited by Toerag (05-16-2003 04:06 PM).] |

your parents died at age 17? LOL, I know you meant Farrah did. A nice puppy dog tale. Glad she wasn't a kitty. (or that reprobate friend of yours named Long Jhn would have come after her!) [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (05-16-2003 03:57 PM).] |

This goes right to the heart of anyone who's ever loved and lost a beloved "member of the family"... especially those of us who were found and adopted. *S* I love this, Toe. *S* You and Farrah have left a big smile on my face... *S* |

I love this one. All the time I was growing up we had Frisky. He was around 14 when he died. He was out chasing girls and got run over. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Yes Toe...certainly a tangent off of your normal bashing that you give a few unmentioned scoundrels here at PiP... But, I liked it....had a couple of those miniature hotdogs with 4 legs myself... And they were just like family as well... |

Very sweet Toe. I had a baby alligator named Ollie once, but he died of lockjaw. It's true! Ask my sister Enchantress. Anyway, I don't know why that memory just came to me now, but poetry does that to me....reminders of other times. hugs, Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Very touching, Toe.... ...but I happen to know the real story of how Farrah met her demise. I was outside your house with my camera. How could you!!??   |

So touching, Toe. I agree with what Southern said. Sure does bring back memories for most of us. But, the time of it's passing is not surprising...animals are family members and so emotional and loyal... Bet they are all happily together. Heart hugs, Pat I am trying not to snicker at that photo ... |

Gotta snicker at the photo! I'm watching one of my dogs fail now. I understand where this comes from. But the humor you show here is appreciated...Much. Uhm? Serial killer? Sheesh! |

Not sure if she would appreciate you naming a dog after her...although I'm sure the dog was cute...and so was she...I met her in Long Beach while she was filming a Charlie's Angel on the Queen Mary...she's not my style...I believe she was with Lee Majors at that time...James |
