What in the world is a "Cockapoo"?
I wouldn't have one - would you?
Maybe Fark's filter
will be thrown out of kilter
this specie's name to construe.

Geeze her lawyer wasn't happy with a 50,000 fund set up that she would have to apply for reimbursment from and wants a lump sum....that just seems wrong to me. But then again.....

"One of my dearest friends said, 'Andy, in your next ad, you can say: 'I got $50,000 for a dog. Think what I can get for you,' " Lakin said. "I would have a lot of fun with this case in front of a jury."

"People that has animals, people that loves animals, people that takes care of animals, they'll know I'm not a greedy person," she says. "That's not me. I always paid my way all my life. I was never on welfare. The Lord always provided for me. I know what I am. But you can't stop people from thinking things."


We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine! We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine...

"I was down at the altar after services and everybody was praying and the Lord spoke to me and He said, 'Fifty thousand.' Then the evangelist came to me, looked me dead in the eye, stuck his finger at me, and said, 'Fifty, Sister.' "

And the good Lawd came to me and he said, "Sister Burgess" he said, "That dog deserves a golden bowl". He said, "Just as the last shall be first so shall Cindy be first." And the preacher came over and said, Sister Burgess, the Lawd Jeesus has just told me to tell you that he thinks Cindy needs a new car...

I did cockapoo once. My knees are still sore.

I knew this article would come back for me. ;)

Daughter?

As an ex-Catholic I'd assume he'd go for either.

"Not prostrate, you idiot! PROBATE!"

Praise the Lord! His holiness, Jeebus Christ, told me to post this comment on Fark, and that it would be worth a million smackeroos (those were his exact words, too)! You're all now looking at the one and only God-given Million Dollar Fark Post! Praise Jeebus! Praise the Lord!

Hey, wait, I'm agnostic. Forget all that Jeebus nonsense...

"She figured that Cindy's haircuts would cost $2,700 a year"

Holy corpse on a stick! How many hair cuts is that? Does it really cost a lot to get a poocock's hair cut?

Cardinal wins this round.

"Then the evangelist came to me, looked me dead in the eye, stuck his finger at me, and said, 'Fifty, Sister.' "

I offer my alterboys only $25, take it or leave it...

Her first mistake was trusting Jesus. I mean come on, he makes this big deal about sacrificing himself and dying for our sins...but then he uses his super-powers and slinks off 3 days later. Yeah,that was some sacrifice, if I knew I could rise from the dead 3 days later I would probably do it to. Someone told me once that Jesus' life on earth was supposed to be an example of how we should live...but who among us can walk on water and do all those other magic tricks. It's all a bunch of crap if you ask me. Sorry, I'm just kind of venting some anger I have at some people I know.

Every time I see that Sprint Cellular guy, I think of Max Payne.

Do they not look similar?

She figured that Cindy's haircuts would cost $2,700 a year; veterinarian bills, $3,000; food and treats, $1,000; medicine and shampoo, $250; gas, minivan mileage and depreciation, $1,500. That totaled $8,450 a year. Multiplied by seven years, that equals $59,150.

If that's the kind of care the dead woman gave the dog, then they should give her that plus lawyering fees. Geez, the lady left a $3 million dollar estate and her kids don't want to honor her wishes to care for the dog. Well, fark them, the ungrateful brats.

He's a smart lawyer. Get it now while you can, while the money's there. Otherwise, you'll be fighting this battle until the dog dies. And if the lady's smart, she'll put the money into a bond fund and probably be able to stretch out the funds another 7 years.

I'm wondering if the evangelist minister is going to ask for a commission?

Religion + money = bad.

No, really. Does it cost $2,700 a year to keep a dog groomed?

What do you get when you combine an insomniac, an agnostic, and a dyslexic?

Someone who stays awake at night contemplating the existence of Dog.

I got a million of 'em! Ah, I kill me.

good one maxx. you make me want to get back on my limirick (sp?) game.

and every time i see the sprint cellular guy, i think of jaggin' off.

and if you keep that crap up, good_moleman, it'll be me that's doing the killings.

my uncle had a probate and he had to take biiiig pills and drink lotsa water!

You rule.

Just how bloody dumb can she get?
What's Jesus, some heavenly vet?
It seems kinda damnin',
That death war and famine
Must take a back seat to her pet.

You also rule. Did you make that up or what?

Good_Moleman_To_You: That's good, coz if you don't we will.

A Cockapoo is better known as a Spoodle. That is all.

Wait, what did I miss? Why do you all hate me now?

i, personally, prefer cockapoo over spoodle. and my husband loves me for it.

i love how this article ends with that inane quote and SS info from the greedy old bag. if the journalist was trying to pretend to be objective, he did a pretty lousy job.

Cockapoo = CockerSpaniel + Poodle, two dogs that should not exist on their own and who, when they are genetically crossed, annoy exponentially..

Clifford! Well, he's worth it then.

I never thought I would agree with you Young Fart, but you nailed it this time.

Young Fart:

... You mean... OH GOD! GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD, GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Wizard X:

Never been to a Anime convention, but I can imagine some of the people there. I can't help but imagine a bunch of guys protesting for thier right to view "Tentacoo Wape" (I love Ghastlys twisted sense of humor)

Jesus has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is an old woman who died and left her little dog with the one person she could trust to take good care of it.

The caretaker can praise Jesus and hallelujah forever.. who cares? The important thing is that the little mutt is safe and happy and the dead woman's wishes are realized. Like Young_Fart said, to hell with the greedy relatives. (And where were they before she died anyway?)

Jill Billy, see? We're not so different after all.

Actually, I got to see how my dad's family acted when his mom died, and it was pretty sad. By the time my dad got down there, the rest of his brothers and sisters had already rummaged through all the personal effects without giving any thought to the others. Luckily, I never had to spend much time around those messed up people.

PreacherOTLC, huh?

Jill Billy:

And where were they before she died anyway?

Counting the days till the old battle ax died?

the moth in my room is worth 12 grand.

The Lord told her that the dog is worth $50,000. Ha.

Guess what? The Lord told me that that crazy biatch needs to shut the fark up.

There is a gecko on my window screen that has to be worth at least a few bucks.

I hear stories like yours, families breaking up over money or a car or a house or whatever... and I still have trouble believing that people can act that way. None of us are owed anything from anyone. What my grandfather or my father does with their money, has nothing to do with me. I hate people who think their parents (or aunts or uncles or grandparents or whatever) owe them a nest egg. People like that are the ones who play the lottery... greedy

I have a frisky lizard that is just priceless.

God is telling me to get my ass in bed now. To those of you whom I may have pissed off for some unexplained reason, I apologize. Are we cool now? Goodnight.

Cardinal, that was hillarious!

You know, given the picture of the old lady in the article, I'd say it's quite possible Jesus told her it's worth $50K. He probably wrote it in her high school yearbook next to his senior picture.

And who's with me when I say the Bible should be filed under "Fiction - Multiple Authors" at the local library? Yep, it's a good story with alot of decent moral truths we should all adopt in our lives. But it's just that: A story. If people started worshipping the complete Middle-earth saga by Tolkein, wouldn't that be pretty much the same thing? Samwise Gamgee, John the Baptist, same thing, right?

They don't however, think that they owe their own children a nest egg.
