Standing by a friend pt. 2

Shame on you Two ,you know who you are so no names will be mentioned, you Abandoned your "Friend" in the moment she needed your support the most, makes this Cowboy wonder if you are her friends.
One of you claimed you were with her 'Till the End' in very poetic terms,but now you need to 'Discover' your 'true self', well I hope you do find your 'true self ' but I have a suspicion you wont like what you see in the mirror when you do. One of you just pays 'lip service' to our talented soul but your 'Ostrich' approach to life doesnt work in this situation but I dont think your head is in the sand..its stuck somewhere else.
Our friend gives both of you the 'benifit of the doubt' but as this Cowboy sees it you both are unworthy of her Friendship and Love. BOTH OF YOU NEED TO STEP UP OR STEP OFF.
Just remember the story of the little red hen you two.

Last of the Wild Horses

Something disgusting is occurring in the great (?) state of Nevada, the systematic roundup of Wild Horses, some will say they are not wild but feral but that is not the case.
These animals have been roaming a good portion of the west for close to 500 years, since the days of the Conquistador, but now the BLM in its infinite wisdom has decreed that there is not enough feed on the open range for them to survive.In all honesty(that's a concept lost on the BLM) its about making money from cattle grazed on public lands,I'm not talking about family ranches but cow/calf outfits (corporate ranching) you see they pay next to nothing to fatten the cattle on public land,all so someone can sell and buy a 99 cent hamburger.
Everywhere they have removed the Wild Horse  not long after it is opened up for Grazing lease, i suppose cattle can eat anything, but  the corporate cattlemen were the ones who complained to the BLM that they were competing with the Wild Horse for the grass
it is typical Washington double dealing, these Wild Horses are held in huge pens in the northern part of our state or shipped to other holding facilities out of state, these once proud and free animals are being condemned to a life of misery, but hold on, this is what will really happen to them once they are no longer adoptable they will be sold for SLAUGHTER because they will be deemed a 'burden' on the taxpayer(just like the politicians) and to convince us it is a good thing they will tell us that at least we recovered taxpayers money(so they can bail out more banks or other leeches) so enjoy your hamburger John Q. Public it only cost you 99 cents,don't give a second thought to what the real cost is, the death of our Heritage and countless Wild Horses.

Standing by a Friend

Someone who means a whole lot to this Cowboy has been having a difficult week,filled with emotional ups and downs.She has realized her dream of being a published author(the Talent is there by the way) and as should be she asked her friends for support, so far, at least to this Cowboys way of thinking,not many have been there for her, but come on folks you have all read her writings and you know she has a gift.
The lack of enthusiasm has really taken me by surprise, how can you  call yourself 'Friend' and not promote or at the very least dig a dollar out of your pocket to buy her works, you all sing high praise for her but like the old saying goes 'Actions speak louder than words'.
I know not to many read my posts but again I ask, how can you call yourselves Friend to this talented soul??

And if you don't know her, her name is Nadina Boun and you can get her works,' Earth and Venus' and 'The thinking man, paralysis by Analysis,on Amazon,just a dollar folks, check it out you wont be disappointed.

Poor little pup

I saw something today that was so heart rending and shameful, a poor thrown away dog living under a delivery van in front of a business.
He was obviously emaciated,ribs and hips were showing and the shame of it was nobody but nobody took the time to try and help this innocent animal,the people going into the store nor the employees,one employee asked me to call animal control,I asked him why and his reply was basically ' its a stray, who needs it' he knew they would kill the dog after three days and I  told him 'not a chance mister'.
I tried to get him into my car I could see he wanted to go but he was so scared of people, so I gave him my lunch and as he was gulping the food down I heard someone say 'great now the damn dog wont leave'. I had to go to work elsewise I would probably still be there trying to coax him out from under the van.
My Question is what does it cost anyone to help a stray, a little time, a little food, is that so much to ask. Are you truely that cold and callous Las Vegas,you cant even help the very essence of unrestrained, unconditional Love?
I am truly ashamed of the city I call home.
(yes im going back tonight to try and rescue that pup)
