		<description><![CDATA[Royal Oak is requiring a family to euthanize or re-home their dog because of an accidental head butt of a stranger, as an alternative to prosecuting the accident as some kind of dog attack. This is ridiculous and will be heart-breaking if they go through with it. Please sign this petition, it only requires a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Living on a farm, you get used to having to fix stuff from time to time.  Fences need mending, tractors and hay equipment need maintenance, plus the normal household items that need attention periodically. Lately however we&#8217;ve been going through a rash of failures.  The electric fence charger, my son&#8217;s Silverado, our furnace, the wheel-horse [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother Kirk lives in Texas.  A true cowboy, if such a thing exists anywhere today.  He sent me an email with the following "Cowboy Rules."  I've seen them - you probably have too.  They were originally written for Texas, but I believe they apply to people everywhere, if you can define 'The Wild West' more as a place in the heart rather than  a geopgraphic region.  Kirk agrees.  What do you think?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the son of parents who bought, sold, traded, and trained horses, I had plenty of opportunities to learn the proper way to fall.   Naturally, some of these were counter-examples.  Some time pursuing a rodeo career added immensely to my ability to fall with grace and style.  Since my rodeo experiences weren&#8217;t very financially rewarding, [...]]]></description>
