2 Legged Dog Named "Faith"

This dog was born in the year 2002. She was born with 3 legs (one other deformed leg was amputated later).  She of course could not walk when she was born. Even her mother did not want her. 


   
  


Her first owner also did not think that she could survive and he was thinking of 'putting her to sleep'. 
But then, her present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met her and wanted to take care of her. 
She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by herself. 

She named her 'Faith'.
 

   
   

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let her feel the  movement.
 
Later she used peanut  butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for  her for standing up and jumping around.

Even the other dog at home encouraged her to walk..

Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle,  Faith learned to balance on her hind legs and to jump to move forward. 

After further training in the snow, she could now walk like a human being..
 


   
   

Faith loves to walk around now.

No matter where she goes, she attracts people to her.
 
She is fast becoming famous on the international scene and 

has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
 
There is now a book entitled 'With a Little Faith' being published about her.

She was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter  movies.
 
 
   
   

Her present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take her around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'. 


   
   


   
  
 
   
  
 
   
   
  
   
    
  
   
   
  
   
   


In  life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better  you just need to look at life from another direction. 
I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and  that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful  day.

Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of  life
.
A small request: All you are asked to do is keep this story circulating.

Breakfast Special

  The $2.99 Special
  
 
If you are a Senior you will understand this one, 
if you deal with Seniors, this should help you 
understand them a little better, 
and if you are not a Senior yet........ 
God willing, someday very soon you will be one. 
 ~ 
If you already saw this one, 
then skip on down to the link. 
You will certainly get a big 
laugh about that senior video!
  ~  
We went to breakfast at a 
restaurant where the 'seniors' 
special' was two eggs, 
bacon, hash browns 
and toast for $2.99.
 
'Sounds good,' my wife said, 
'But I don't want the eggs..'
 
'Then, I'll have to charge 
you $3.49 because you're 
ordering a la carte,' the 
waitress warned her.
 
'You mean I'd have to pay 
for not taking the eggs?' 
my wife asked incredulously.
 
'YES !' stated the waitress.
 
'I'll take the special then,' 
my wife said..
 
'How do you want your 
eggs?' the waitress asked.
 
'Raw and in the shell,' 
my wife replied.
  
  
She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.
 
DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS !
  
WE'VE been around the block more than once!

((( Priceless )))

 Priceless
  ~   
The light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
  ~  
    
The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection... dropping her cell phone 
because she was talking to a friend. 
  ~  
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up... 
  ~  
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. 
  ~  
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. 
  ~  
I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally... 
I assumed you had stolen the car."

Poem Worth Reading

A Poem Worth Reading

   

 











   
He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For ol' Joe has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.

He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life.

He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?

The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.

While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.

It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?

Or would you want a Soldier
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.

He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his likes again.

For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline
In the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."
  ~  
PLEASE pass On The Patriotism! 

YOU can make a difference.

If you are proud of our Vets, 

then send this on, 
that others may honor
them. You'll be glad you did.

Wal-Mart Shopper


 Finally a well dressed
Wal-Mart shopper
     
    
Just a housewife out 
shopping in Alaska .
     
No permit required in Alaska 
for either open (must be 18) carry,
or concealed (must be 21) carry.
     
CHECK THEIR CRIME RATE, 
LOWEST IN OUR NATION?
     
  .   
Why would that be?  
  .  
NOT one school shooting either.

HOW COME?


How come no one ever told us?

  ~  

You’ve probably been ignoring this feature.
   
  
 
Most aluminum foil boxes have press-in tabs 
that secure the roll in place, so you don’t 
have worry about it flying out every time 
you rip off a sheet.
   ~   

You’ve been dispensing Tic Tacs the hard way.

   
   

                           
                      
You know how when you violently shake a container of 
Tic Tacs into your palm it seems as though you always 
end up with zero or seven? Avoid that altogether by 
letting a mint gently glide into the tiny lid crevice
 
   ~   
 
You haven’t been using ketchup cups to their full potential.
  
   
Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, 
simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.
 
  ~  
 
Chinese takeout containers are actually 
made to fold out into plates.
    
     

 
The containers actually are meant to unfold 
into a makeshift plate, which you can easily 
reassemble into a box for storing leftovers.
   ~   
Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half.
  
 
    ~        
Chances are you’ve been scooping the 
toppings with your spoon onto the yogurt.
  
   
                      
But, have you realized, the topping holder folds over, 
so you can pour the toppings DIRECTLY ON TOP?
  ~   

You’ve probably been placing toilet 

seat covers in the wrong direction.

   
   

 
The flap is meant to be placed toward the front. 
This prevents the agony of sitting down on a toilet seat, 
only to realize you’ve dragged the cover down into the bowl.
  ~   

Soda tabs double as straw holders.

   
   

 
Turn the tab around so that it acts as holder that can stop the straw from raising out of the can as the soda fizzes.
  ~   
 

You probably don’t realize it, but your pots come with built-in spoon rests.

   
   


 
      ~              

Soft-drink lids can double as coasters.
