THE MEETING OF THE DOGS

This is the first stab at putting this song together - Collaberastion in process - It appears there are some updated versions of this song - This DOG song as set down by a Confederate veteran in Dublin, Laurens County Georgia and handed down to me by his great grandson:

My father, Bill Allen and youngest son (my brother Vic age about 10 ) traveled throughout GA in the early '60s to various political meetings. Vic was told the story and he came up with the tune played his six string flat top and entertained the crowds.



Onc't th' dawgs had a meetin; They come from far and wide...
Some come from city swells and some from th' mount'nside.

Before they cud be seated, they had to sign a book,
Then each Dawg had to take and hang his asshole on a hook.

Now as they got assembled, each Mother's Son and Sire,
A mangy little pooch outside began to holler "FIRE!!!"

So now they wuz a panic, they hadn't had time to look,
But each one ran and grabbed hisself an asshole off a hook....

A poodle got a pointer's ass and a bulldog got a houn'
That's why a white dogs ass is black and a black dog's ass is brown...

That's why when they're in the field or walkin' down the streets
A dawg will stop to sniff and smell of every dog's ass he meets.

And when you give him T-bone steak or ripe and juicy bone,
He'll leave it to smell of another dawg's ass--in hopes he's found his OWN !


After collaborating with brother Keith ( KP ) this morning he came up with the
correct and final version of the song.

No I don't remember his name I just remember listening to it on your tape recorder!

Here Goes my remembered version:

Once the dogs had a Meetin
They came from far and wide
some came from city swells
some from the mountain side
Before they were admitted
or in the hall to look
each dog had to take his asshole off
and hang it on a Hook
before they were seated
Mother,sons and sire
One Mangy little Pooch stood up
and Began to Holler FIRE
Up they got and started
they didn't have time to look
so each dog at random
took an asshole off the hook
a fiest got a Poodles ass
a poodle got a Hounds
Thats why a white dogs ass is black
and a Black dogs ass is brown
Thats why when you see a dog
Just prowling around the streets
he'll stop and take a leak and
smell of every dogs ass he meets
Thats why when you feed him supper
a steak or juicy Bone
He'll leave it to smell of another dog ass
and hope he finds his own!!!

Thats IT !!!!---kp

Gun Control

The world's largest army... America 's hunters!

I had never thought about this.

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .

Allow me to restate that number.

Over the last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.

More men under arms than in Iran .

More than in France and Germany combined.

These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters,
all of whom have now returned home.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that
the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
The point?

America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting - it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.


That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought when next we consider gun control.

Gary Sinise - Tribute to Navy Veteran

Academy Award Nominee Gary Sinise Makes a Moving Spoken Word Performance, honoring one of our brave servicemen from WWII.


VET of the Year Award -

Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S. Army. He is the son of an Air Force General, and a accomplished Golden Gloves boxer, and he graduated from Pomona College with a B.S. degree, and then became a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University.
He joined the U.S. Army at the prompting of his father. After graduating from Officer Candidate School he attended and graduated from both Army Airborne and Ranger training in the very top of each class. He was selected for U. S. Army Special Forces Training but refused so that he could attend pilot training where he earned his wings, and became an accomplished U.S. Army helicopter (gun ship) pilot, and achieved the rank of Captain.
He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major, and appointed to teach at West Point when he resigned his commission from the Army to go into music and acting. You can tell in this video that his time in the military means a lot to him. I won't give away who it is. You should just watch. I bet you will be surprised!
