HEY GUYS,
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND SAVE A LIFE!
SENIOR DOGS
BY CHEWY MAN AND FAMILY
As I look around this place, I’m in with others just like me,
I wonder what I have done that my family abandoned me.
I did all the things they asked and never did I whine,
They said I was a special pup, their companion, 'oh so fine'.
They dressed me up, they showed me off, and often called me friend,
I gave them all the love I had and never thought it would end.
But here I sit in this cage with so many yearning to be free,
I still don’t understand why my family walked away from me.
Sadly, each day I watch people strolling by,
I wag my tail hoping someone will just say "Hi".
My days here may be numbered, but I still have much to give,
I’m hoping that someone will rescue me and give me a chance to live.
I don’t hold a grudge and I won’t take it out on you,
I only know how to trust and love and do those crazy things I do.
I want to feel the love and joy again, that I gave my family,
Still, I don’t understand why so late in life they abandoned me.
But thank God I was one of the lucky ones to leave this place alive,
Many others that were with me unfortunately didn’t survive.
So, all I am asking you is to please give us old dogs a try,
We still have lots of love to give in the days before we die.

"Because they are eternal
children, because they don’t know what hatred or war is. Because they
don’t know money and they only console themselves with a place to take refuge
from the cold. Because they make themselves understood without saying a
word, because their gaze is as pure as their soul." ~

Operation Santa Paws December 1st - 24th
[Source: https://nationaltoday.com/operation-santa-paws/]
"The holidays are a time for giving as we celebrate it
with our family and friends. But let’s not forget our furry friends in the shelters
and rescue centers. Operation Santa Paws, which is held from December 1st
to the 24th each year, gives us the opportunity share the gift of
giving and show our love for the shelter pets. Justin Rudd, who was inspired by
his love for animals, started Operation Santa Paws in 2001. It began in Long Beach
California but has since spread across our country and other countries and
cities such as Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. His intention was to call upon
all animal lovers to donate food, blankets, treats, toys, supplies and money, to
help stock the shelters with much needed items. But more importantly it shows
our love and compassion for those animals who do not have an opportunity to be
loved or cared for, especially during the holiday season.
Sadly, statistics show that roughly 7.6 million
companion animals such as cats, dogs and other domestic pets enter the shelters
across our country each year. It is heartbreaking to know that these animals are
there through no fault of their own. Many of them are either neglected, abused,
or abandoned and though many are adopted, several will live out their lives in
cages. But all deserve a loving forever home. Pets can play an important role
in our lives, they give us unconditional love, they are our companions through good
times and bad, and they can have an important role as a therapy/service animal.
Pets are our family, and they leave an indelible mark on our hearts.
During Operation Santa Paws this December let’s give back to those less fortunate pets. We can start by donating needed supplies or money to our local shelters and rescues organizations. Organize a donation drive as many shelters post their wish list on their websites. You can donate your time by volunteering at a local shelter as they are often understaffed. Or you can foster or adopt, giving that pet a much-needed home. This is the season of giving, so please open your hearts and give to the pets in our shelter and rescues. Remember, “The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man” ~ Charles Darwin. Happy holidays!"

HEY GUYS!🐾
TODAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DAYS...... FOR IT'S NATIONAL DOG BISCUIT DAY! SO GO OUT AND TREAT YOUR SPECIAL KIDS WITH LOTS OF COOKIES!!! JUST READ ABOUT IT BELOW AS MY SECRETARY....OOPS I MEAN MY MOM WROTE IT FOR US!
National Dog Biscuit Day
February 23rd is a day to spoil your pooch with their favorite biscuit, for this is National Dog Biscuit Day also known as Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. So, bring out those treats and they will gladly forgo playing ball or that scratch on the tummy as they stand ready for a delicious biscuit, I know that mine do.
The origins of National Dog Biscuit Day are unclear,
but the history behind the creation of dog biscuits is interesting. It started
in the 1800’s when an English butcher tried a new recipe for biscuits and they turned
out terrible, so he gave the biscuits to his dog who loved them. Before dog
biscuits, dog bread was a common snack for canines. Subsequently in 1828, dog
biscuits were produced on a small scale in England. Then in 1860, James Spratt
from Ohio, traveled to England to produce the first large-scale manufacture of
dog biscuits. It was not until 1907, that dog biscuits appeared in America for
the first time in the shape of a bone which remains popular to this day. A fun
fact, in 2011, the largest dog biscuit was produced by Hampshire Pet Products
(USA) in Joplin, Missouri which weighed 617lbs.
On National Biscuit Day give your faithful companion a
few extra dog biscuits to show your appreciation or to reward them for good
behavior. Just keep in mind that experts note that normally a dog’s snacks
should only make up 10% of their daily calorie intake or they risk becoming
overweight. But since this is a special day, go out and stock up on your dog’s
favorite biscuits or if you feel ambitious make them homemade biscuits.
Homemade biscuits can be healthier for your pet as you can control what
ingredients are used in them and they cost less. Personally, I enjoy baking homemade
biscuits for my dogs, such as peanut butter, banana, and apple/cranberry. Ciena
likes all the cookies, but Chewy’s favorite is peanut butter. Of course, they will
never pass up a store-bought biscuit such as a Milk-Bone when offered, for they
love their treats.
In recognition of National Dog Biscuit Day, I would
like to dedicate this story to Lacey, aka “Lu Lu”, who was one of two of my precious
companions that also loved my homemade dog biscuits. As the old saying goes “a
picture is worth a thousand words”.
Hey ,we are hitting the beach for labor day weekend.
