  Recipe for happiness

Be glad you are whatever you are (even if you’re a cat).

Accept others whatever they are.

Remember that it can always get worse (or better).

Believe in yourself.  What have you got to lose?

Enthusiasm will get you farther than a pedigree will.

Call on the big dog within.

Understated is worth more than overblown.

Explain nothing.  Let them figure you out.

         

Rescue AVAILABLE


Buddy is 1-1/2 years old, and in desperate need of a loving forever home.  He has been secluded and neglected in a dark basement for the last 6 months of his life, just about the time his seizures developed. He is currently not on medication for them, as they are fairly infrequent, only 1 or so per month. Because of his neglect, he is also quite afraid of the dark, and needs a nightlite next to his crate, and he is working very hard on his housebreaking and crate training. He is a very loving boy, and bonds exceptionally well to men, but needs someone willing to put the time and effort into training him properly and teaching him some manners. Buddy was somewhat abused by his prior owners children, so no young children, only children over 8 years old. He has recently been neutered, and had a full blood panel, which checked okay. Medication for his seizures may be necessary at some point in the future.  If you would like to get an application for Buddy and meet him, please contact me at 360-254-1942 or widgetsbts@aol.com.

Poems for the dog

 

       three Little Puppies

 

Three little puppies,

Owned by yuppies,

With Persian rugs in the hall.

“Oh, Mother dear,

We sadly fear,

We’ve messed them one and all.”

“You naughty mutts

you must be nuts

When nature’s call you heed.

“Just go outdoors,

Not on my floors,

And do it with due speed.

The Adventures of Jet

As told by BJ…

 

Against my better judgment, I bought Jet a pig ear yesterday.

When he wasn't looking, I plopped it in his nest bed and watched as, enticed by a new (strong) scent he examined it.

What the hell is this, bub? he seemed to query.

Tentatively at first, he nibbled it and gently carried it around, like a new-found treasure. Eventually, he tore into it with gusto and, being Jet, tried hiding it in various locations around the house.

The best place was under a dresser. I wish I had a pic! I'm amazed he was able to wiggle himself under there!

A few hours later, he went to retrieve it and what he brought to my feet resembled something from the X-Files or CSI: Boston Terror or a Stephen King movie.

The thing was soggy and had a layer of skin partially gnawed off, flapping oh-so nonchalantly from his mouth.

Hullo, Clarice...

It was too gross. I took it (after bribing him with a cookie), wrapped it in several plastic bags, and threw it out.

For several hours this afternoon, he's been tearing ass all over the house looking for the thing. When he can't find it, he looks at me. He knows it's my fault his stinky, smelly ear is gone.

I rub his belly and tell him I'll make it up to him.

How about one of those cow hooves, bub?
