I’ve have never reblogged on WordPress before, but I was so moved by Stitch’s plight that I have to let you all know.

From Stitch’s Adoptive Family’s Website::

Three years ago, we adopted a sweet little dog named Stitch. The woman who owned him told us his sad story. Stitch had been passed around to several people in his first year of life – a group of young kids who were part of the Hollywood club scene. The woman’s teenage daughter had ended up with Stitch, but the girl was wild and out of control, partying, disappearing for weeks at a time with her adult boyfriend.

Stitch had been locked in the teen’s room for days without sunshine or exercise, having to relieve himself on the carpet. The daughter had taken him to a wild party where he had become so distressed that he jumped through a pane glass window to escape. And eventually, in their care, the dog ended up abandoned in the middle of a highway 10 hours away in…

5.23.12 Remote Control

“Why do guys hog the TV remote?”  Just kidding.

I would like to understand why male cats seem to want to sleep on the television remote.  Even on the coffee table, Muffy or Nine find it and sit on it.  This is Nine taking a nap on my king size bed. He has all this space to lie in and he sleeps on the little remote.  Now I understand the newspaper thing; that is where your attention is focused and they want to be the center of your attention, so they lie on the paper..  But why the TV remote? And why only my male cats?

5.22.12 A Dog’s Life

There is nothing like lazing on a fine sunny day.  Louise just loves to sit in her spot on the deck and take in all the warmth of the day,  Sofie finds a nice cool hole to lie in somewhere under the trees (just like Squash used to).  Don’t you wish sometimes you could have a dog’s life?

Just the other day I was thinking about how lucky I am.  Though I work way to many hours, I have great friends and family, a ton of silly animals, have food to my hearts content, and am blessed with feeling safe in my home and surroundings.  If I were a dog, I would probably want the same things (well maybe not the work part). I guess maybe I do have a dog’s life after all, with just a different kind of herd to tend.  Well, I think I will go lie on the deck.

5.21.12 Promdogs

If Lulu Belle or Sofie could have gone to the prom with C, what would they have worn?  Lulu I think would be a frilly girl.  I know she does not act like that because she is all athletic and serious and stuff, but she really would like something really girly.  Maybe she would have chosen pink with her beautiful brown and black fur.  Definitely a classic flowing gown, maybe chiffon.  Since she is so shy, she probably would have a quiet pre and post party with her date and a few close friends.

Sofie Bear would go to P A R T Y ! with a large group of friends, date or not, and Miss Independent would probably wear something ‘different.’  Maybe purple clingy gown with a deep slit up the leg and lots of bling.  I think she would play the ‘blond’ card, if you know what I mean.

Humm, sometimes it is fun to dress them up in my mind.  Kind of like paper dolls when I was a little girl, or C when she let me pick out her clothes (I think that stopped when she was 6).

5.20.12 Fledglings

It is nearing the time that I have to let my little duckling fly on her own.  This weekend was Senior prom.  She is graduating high school soon and then she will be leaving to college,  I have spent years teaching my daughter to stand on her own, take responsibility, and fly.  It is just hard to close the chapter of childhood/parent and move into the next phase of the relationship.  Not that I don’t want to, I just miss the little girl.

Maybe that is why I have animals.  They may get older, but house pets are not able to be self reliant because of the situation. They depend on me for food, walking, things like that, and I like that.  Heck, I need that or I wouldn’t have 7 rescues I guess.

As the summer approaches I know that there are many changes on the horizon in my house. All the children will now be gone and it is just me, V, and the zoo. It helps to know that the animals will stick to the routine: feed, walk, cuddle, play, sleep (repeat). And me, well I will have to learn how to embrace the change….. maybe I’ll get another dog (NOT!)
