Finally! I’m so pretty and witty and…

 

I got a bath! I cannot tell you how good I feel. I smell divine.

Soooooo…

 

I was thinkin’ (yes, that’s that burning smell) about all of my kindred spirits stuck over at the pound. This has been bothering me since yesterday. It seems that many, many peeps are taking their pets to the pound because they can no longer afford to buy them food or take care of them. The shelters are filling fast with formerly beloved pets and there are broken hearts all over town.

Miss Natalie read that the city of Albuquerque is looking to start a pet food bank and she thinks that’s a really great idea. I sat in her lap while she looked at all of the adoptable pets on the city’s website. (When we do this, S thinks we are crazy and wonders why we torment ourselves. Yes, it makes us sad but, at the same time, we hope our buddies get adopted into loving, forever homes. There is a method to our madness.) There were an awful lot of really cute doggie photos. It’s amazing how many of those dogs are Pit Bulls or Pit-crosses.

We really, really like Pitbulls! Miss Natalie thinks they get a bad rap and are actually really great dogs. I have to agree. Yeah, they are big and powerful and muscular and have some mighty jaws but they are the sweetest dogs ever! We both believe there is no such thing as a bad dog… only bad things done to dogs by bad or misguided peeps.  I can look like a “bad” dog:

I wish I had my very own Pitbull doggie. I’d lobby for the name, “Buster”, or something cute like that. Of course, they’d never be as cute as me but, you know, whatever. Sometimes, being cute is the bane of my existence. I’m so cute that most peeps think I’m a girl doggie. That just chaps my doggy-butt. But, whatRyaGonnaDo? If it means more treats, I can live with that.

Have you ever watched Cesar Milan’s show, “The Dog Whisperer”? He has a dog, who’s name is “Daddy” and he is a Pitbull. He’s really big and powerful but so calm and cool and just a sweetie. Kinda reminds me of one of those gruff, tough-on-the-outside, marshmallow-on-the-inside, grandpa-types. I love it when Daddy is featured. He’s usually calming some totally aggressive, yappy, Chihuahua-type dog. Love him!

Anyway, there are some really cool dogs up for adoption currently in the city shelters. There’s “Santana”, a pug-mix, and he kinda looks like that dog from “Men in Black ll.” I wonder if he speaks “human” like that alien dog. Then there’s “Bell” and, wow, what a sweet face! How could you not just totally fall in love with her? She’s a beauty!

I have just one more thing to say about the shelters. Please consider the older dogs! There are currently lots of babies/puppies in the shelter and they will get adopted quickly. It’s the older dogs that really need your consideration. Most of them are wonderful, loving, and already out of bad-habits dogs. Please consider them ‘cause they will make a wonderful pet for the right person. Most of them know that their shot at being adopted is slim, at best. As a result, they will show you their gratitude by being loving and faithful. They know where they are and know that you are rescuing them. Give ‘em a chance!

Okay, I’m off to enjoy my Sunday and show my peeps my gratitude for providing me and Lulu and Q with such a wonderful home by choosing to not pull anything out of the bathroom trash and strew it all over Miss Natalie’s bedroom.

Hey, I do what I can!

Peace!

Out!
