While back, well it was Sept 12th 2004 to tell the date. Lincoln Pet Cemetery, the name is Rolling Acres. On that date was held Pet Memorial Day. For all you good people let me tell you about this place. I have a couple things to tell about.. But you really need to hear about how wonderful this resting place is for pets. Not only pets, there is Big People there too. I think at this point in time a total of 25, with others that has it planed to be there at, and when the time comes. The thing is one must have a pet there that will say your all right, fit to be here.
In my travels about, I have never seen but a very few big people resting places that would be more prettier or as well cared for. Few and far between. I know it makes this thing here in Beatrice, look sick. The grass is green, even in the heat of summer, it is cut every few days.
Now before I go to far here, you maybe are asking just where is this place. You know town and so on.. Well Lincoln, Nebraska is the place. People in Nebraska have a lot to blow about. Let me see, I will try to name off a few. .........................................................
Goodness this is hard work. I guess the main one would be the University of Nebraska Football Team. You know they fired a football coach last year. His year was kind of rotten. Won 9, lost 3.
Nebraska is the only state with a two body government, a governor, and a one body of law makers. I don't know as it is such a bad idea. Just cuts down on the amount of political hot air. Nebraska is made up of one party.for the most part. Once in a while a person from the other party gets elected.
Nebraska as far as I know is the only state to have its own NAVY.. Got a lot of Admirals, no swabs. My good friend Keith is an Admiral.. Has his ship in a pond about 6 feet wide and 10 feet long. Think it has a couple left over 2 inch canons from the Civil War. I think his is maybe the only one with a Reb Flag. One has to be a somebody to be a Admiral. Even good writers like Tinker and Poo never made it. Maybe they will yet, with the reporting back from Rainbow Bridge they are now doing.
If your ever in Lincoln, take O Street east, stay on O Street, never fear, stay on O Street. till you get to 134th street. Right turn, about 1/2 mile, well it be on your left. Now for all that was wondering why the O Street stuff. There is no street in the whole world like O Street. It is straight as a string for more then 40 miles. The only street in the world that can say that.
Now then at this Memorial Day deal, a lot of people showed up. Some had their friends with them. Friends all had a get together too. Little Girl she set and talked to some big fellows. They were People with a job to do. Service Dogs I think is the word. One fellow with one of these, and I did some talking.. He has had major heart work done. He said he got into this after his doctor told him people with pets as a rule live a longer, and better grade of life. That is health wise. He was with a beautiful Black Lab.
The talk got to what I have said for so long. Well on a couple points. A dog of any type or size is what you make them. I think that is true. Take Tinker for a case. He wasn't a bad dog. He had been miss treated by one person. He didn't trust a stranger till he knew them better after that one stranger.
Now let me tell you more about this. I will let you make up your mind as too the thinking of a dog. Tinker was about 6 months old, maybe a bit more, Poo was about 3 or so months old. I had just got Poo. Here comes the mail man. The little guys run out to greet him. He blasted Tink with a shot of his mace. Tink did turn back, blinded. Poo got a double dose. He not only was blind he was gasping for air. This poor so called human is afraid of two little pups that walk toward him with tail wagging. He not only sprayed both, but hauled off and gave each a hard kick. He hit Poo so hard I thought he was dead. Needless to say I called this nut everything I could think of. In side of 15 minutes I had two cops at my door.
Now all that saved me was the fact the Mayor, later District Court Judge knew me and these two dogs.. He said he had walked or jogged by my place and those dogs were never out unless I was with them. Also they were friendly up to that point in time. So in a way it is a case of a pure dog hater, that turned Tinker thinking around on people. I think of Mr.Brace the old mail man and what he said about dogs. He never met one that he couldn't make friends with on the route.
A dog is what the big person makes them. Or what someone does to them. They learn some people can be trusted, while others has to be watched a bit. Take you for a case. You learned that most people can be trusted to not come at you with a butcher knife. But if it ever happens you start to watch out for the guy that don't show his hands once in a while.
I think dogs are really no different them a normal person. You act normal, they will leave you alone. They will go check out the roast for dinner, hoping you don't stay.. After all they said,, enough for them, not sure if there will be any scraps for you.
A dog also learns what they belong to. The house, the car, the yard, what ever you have, that is theirs also. You can be with your dog in a car parking lot. You say lets go to the car, yep they will walk to the one you are driving today. They know, that is their car, sure isn't someone else's
You know people can't believe there is a place like Rolling Acres, untill they see it. I do hope Miss Teri Of Heartswithsoul.com. comes calling one of these days. I will be sure and take her to see Tinker and Poo's resting place. After all they wrote many a great story for her, and Hearts With Soul.
