Our friend is getting her female Lab pup this weekend and we can’t wait to see photos and, if we’re still in TX, meet the pup soon. I’m so happy for them. It’ll be a lot of work on her part for house-training et al but they’re both great with dogs and this puppyhood will be a photographic extravaganza then the dog will grow up and work for a living. Treats, anyway, at a VA.
Another friend, who is local, is “interviewing” a pup who sought shelter at a new neighbors just prior to IKE. The pup is about six months old and well cared-for. Our friend already has an uber-cool cat so they have a play date coming up.
I wanted to tag this “recipe ideas” but don’t think cat or dog should be on anyone’s menu, at least tonight. Hey, this is the news according to Dee, and I’m a pet lover, gimme a break! I’m starting to dread a house in the country because of the number of dogs and cats that would be dumped upon us. In the rural areas there are few options for such animals and it doesn’t seem adoption is one of them which is why they were dumped in the first place.
At my highest count in a 600 sf place I had one dog and two cats. That’s it. No room for a boyfriend. And I volunteered every weekend for shelters and other humane animal endeavors, including spay/neuter clinics. I can’t take in everyone who comes to call. But I don’t have to worry about that right now. There’s enough with the economy and jobs. Keep your chin up, Dee

My brother claims Lewis and Clark found dog to be the best tasting food the Indians feed them. I have told Zoe to watch out for anyone with a coon skin hat. I’m not sure if my brother plans to warn his little very poorly house trained dog Coco or not.
