You have to admit the tune is kind of catchy.

You have to admit the tune is kind of catchy.

So it is. LOL Do you know the original? "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. Beautiful, touching song.

(Sorry, Mr. Chapin! LOL)

Omg, I just watched it! But they made the cartoon kitty look so darn cute...

Yes, I have heard the song before,
but I do not remember any of the
words. I must admit, I did find myself huming the tune,
when I opened up the @#$% cite.

Yes, I have heard the song before, but I do not remember any of the words.

Here you go:



My child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play.
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's ok."
And he walked away, but his smile, lemme tell you,
Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him."

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, dad.
You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired and my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu,
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad.
It's been sure nice talking to you."
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, dad.
You know we'll have a good time then."

Let's all go take a tour into one of our many puppy mills.

She wasn't talking about puppy mills. She wasn't defending them, or in fact mentioning them at all. She was just protesting the inhumane treatment of Korean dogs. It's a fair concern, regardless of what's happening in the US, Australia, or Uzbekistan. They're not directly relatable.

Besides which, we're only stating our opinions, not taking any physical action. Maybe if we were going to go out and join protest groups we'd do better to focus on our own country. But that's not, as far as I know, the case right now.

[rachnjam27]

Well, tell me how our puppy mills are irrelavnt to the 'inhumane treatment of dogs in Korea?'
Frankly, I see no difference. We are just as bad as others and I believe that we need to start fixing our own country before critisizing others.
Most people don't realize that our country is also full of abuse and neglect, because we are the 'perfect country.'

I agree. I'm just saying you need to realize this isn't only happening in Korea! The meat you buy at the grocery store goes through a very similar process.

Ohhhhhhhh I'm happy I opened it! It was hilarious! So funny that I fainted!

*Bows* Rachnjam, you voiced my thoughts exactly!

Sure. That's why I'm a vegetarian.

Because that's not what we're talking about here. They are two different things. And we are talking about one, and not the other.

Maybe so. But Dukedogsmom didn't say "There is a big different between how America treats its livestock and the way Korea treats its dogs. We don't need to fix the US but we DO need to fix Korea". In fact, she didn't mention the USA at all. She merely expressed her opinion on the way dogs are butchered in Korea.

That's why its irrelevant.

Most people don't realize that our country is also full of abuse and neglect, because we are the 'perfect country.'

Good point. I don't see anyone contradicting you.

How about if we offer green cards to Koreans to let them work here euthanizing for free at all of our pet shelters and veterinary clinics, and disposing of the carcasses? Our government could help by subsidizing the shipments to Korea, in conjunction with the current aid programs.

And it would save space in the landfills!
