Rusty is a handsome 4 year old cocker who weighs 31 pounds. He often has a pensive look on his face but his short little tail telegraphs happiness as measured by the ongoing wags of his short little tail. His eyes are what captured me the first time I met him --they are so expressive and engaging. It is so surprising to me that Rusty and so many of his pals were diagnosed with heartworms when they arrived at Atlanta Pet Rescue. Rusty has been successfully treated and is now waiting for his lifetime home. Please visit www.atlantapetrescue.org to see more about Rusty and the wonderful pets waiting to be adopted.
Go to Bali and despite a legal ban you will not pass through a populated area without seeing at least a few fighting cocks. The birds will generally be housed in small woven bamboo baskets where they will wait before their next fight. I didn't actually see a fight but i am assured that they are brutal since the birds have razor blades fixed to their legs! A good bird may survive as many as three fights and the fight order works on a 'winner stays on basis'. Considering that the population of Bali generally believe in reincarnation based on how good you were in your previous life these birds must have done some pretty bad stuff in lives gone by!
Beautiful world of cocks, amazing colours!.------------------------------------------Macos descendents dels dinosaures.!

The Cock Pub more recently known as Nambucca went on fire around 11.30pm on 16 December. Rumour has it that it started in the basement. The basement was used by local band The Holloways to practice and store their equipment. This impoverished group lost everything. Coming later how I investigated the rumour. 21 December 2008
