RESCUED.....and Dancing for Joy

* * * * *

Two sites that we visit regularly is

Humane Society of United States

(they raid puppy mills and other places that
treat animals inhumanely - really cool teams of incredible people)
and the other site and blog is

A Place to Bark Rescue

Together - and with the help of many people and
always with the aid of donations, they
raided and then saved over 200 animals.

Many dogs so happy that regardless of their condition,
there were kisses, licks, wagging tails and....
this Babe! What a Dancer!

Watch her short little video and I guaranty
you'll smile WITH HER -
she's so happy - you will be too...

Dancing for Joy

Bernie Berlin, owner of A Place to Bark Rescue
kept walking by her singing "Staying Alive"
while the girl kept the beat.

Good Stuff, huh?

Opinion

* * * * *

Lia: So-o-o-o-...what did you think of that Ernie guy?

Zoe: W h a t ? Are You Kidding Me?

Lia: No. Why would I kid? He's ok...he likes to run...he's strong....he likes to chase and run...

Zoe: Like a PUPPY?

Lia: Ya...an energetic puppy.

Zoe: Ya...who's fierce - and - I think he's strong enough to get his way...any time he wants.

Lia: Ya - but still playful.

Zoe: Playful like bull: I flipped over to be nice and submissive and he lifted my head with his whole mouth...

Lia: Ya, I noticed after awhile you were in Mommy's arms and then you finally jumped over the fence to the Quiet Zone...do you think he'll come back?



Zoe: All I want is a couple hours notice if he does. I already have my travel bag half packed so just let me know....this is ridiculous....I don't know why I put up with this....I have an upset stomach and I'm gonna go eat some grass....geez, sometimes humans don't know what they're doing or what they want...I can't believe she would put me through such nonsence.....
Good Grief!


Lia: Are you through? Want to go stretch out on the bed with me? You might feel better.


Zoe: The only way another dog is getting in here is if he/she is like....well...you.

Lia: ...huzzah!

* * * * *

I'm just sayin'

* * * * *

Lia: So, can I ask you sumthin?

Zoe: Sure.

Lia: Do you always understand Mommy?

Zoe: Heck no. We're not human - we don't speak that language. Why?

Lia: I dunno. I get alot of things she says when she talks TO us. Good Girl. Come. Sit. Do you want a cookie? I get all that...

Zoe: Sure - repeated mantras; you learned it with treats, you Pavlov's dog! So what's the problem?

Lia: Well - she says things like "you have the most beautiful face in the world"...or..."Lia, get your butt back here so I can wipe those paws"..body parts....I understand those...

Zoe: Aaannnnd????

Lia: So I'm a little frustrated that I don't know where other body parts are.

Zoe: WHAT THE HECK are you TALKING about????

Lia: Y'know...things like "Where's your knee?"

Zoe: That's not what she said, Whale Fat.

Lia: Oh, smarty pants? What'd she say?

Zoe: She said, "Where's Ernie?"

Lia: Who's Ernie???



Zoe: I don't have a clue.

You Go, Alby!

This is Alby the 13-year-old skateboarding barn owl who lives at Folkestone Owl Rescue Centre, Kent. Alby has developed a technique, which involves him swooping onto the board, using the momentum from his flight to push him along.

Thanks Mother Earth

* * * * *

There are dogs all over the world
that celebrate EARTH DAY
one way.

They appreciate the earth beneath them
and they roll on it.
See Lia and Zoe's fotos to the left .
Upside Down.

Maybe we too should get outside and lie upside down
to celebrate Earth Day.

Dogs Rule.
