Charlie and Vladimir don’t get along. In fact, the guinea pig roommates have loathed one another for years.
“They met via Craigslist,” says Jim Sanchez, a mutual friend. “Vlad was looking for a roommate, and Charlie could make the rent. But immediately, he wasn’t thrilled about the way Charlie would throw his cedar shavings everywhere. It’s been tense ever since.”
Given their history, it was no surprise they weren’t thrilled to share a carrot on Monday morning.
“It was the last one in the fridge, and they were both starving,” says Sanchez. “Breakfast was awkward, to put it mildly.”
I am thankful for my freedom. For the people (and animals) that help keep me safe. For the ability to speak my mind and believe what I believe, even if it is different than what other American’s believe. Today, the 4th of July, we celebrate our independence and freedom.
Dedicated on June 10, 2006, the United States War Dogs Memorial, located guarding the gateway to the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Holmdel, New Jersey, consists of a bronze statue of a kneeling Vietnam War soldier and his dog, set on a black granite base. The memorial was designed by sculptor Bruce Lindsay, Architectural Division Manager at Johnson Atelier in Mercerville, New Jersey. A graduate of Bucknell University, Lindsay’s studio is adjacent to Grounds for Sculpture, the 22-acre sculpture park on the grounds of the former New Jersey State Fair. The U.S. War Dogs Memorial, while directly representing the War Dog Teams of the Vietnam War, honors all our nation’s war dogs and their handlers – past, present and future.

I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.
Today is Thankful Thursday and, as usual, we have much to be thankful for.
We are thankful for being Pat Bean’s Blog of the Day That was a sweet surprise because being laid off is making me kind of blue.
She said: “dogdaz http://tinyurl.com/mvjmut7 If this blogger can find something to be thankful for, than I’m sure the rest of us can. I do so believe it’s a zillion times better to have a half-full glass than a half-empty one. And evidently so does this person.”
So many people have been asking me how I can be smiling and laughing through this whole process. I know it must seem weird, but I have been working since I am 14 and I know that I will find work. I guess Pat Bean is right, I am a glass 1/2 full kinda person. I don’t know how to live any other way. My last work day is July 12, so the shock, though real, has not totally hit me yet, I think. Thanks Pat for making my day.
I am also thankful for head cones, though Sofie isn’t. Every time I take the cone off, she starts eating the bandage. Silly me, I thought today I would give her a brake and take the cone off while we take a short walk. I figured she would be busy walking, so she could not chew on it. She sits down in the middle of the street in front of the house, and starts chewing the minute we get going. You should have seen the disgust on Louise’s face. She just wanted to walk!
Back inside with you, Sofie – cone on – end of walk for you. You should have heard her howl when Louise and I left to finish the walk. It was pitiful Thank you cone people or she would have chewed her foot off at this point.
