Funny Craigslist post

Please help!!!! After two long years of being on a waiting list for an agility dog, we have been notified by the breeder that, at long last, our number has come up and ... WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY!!!

We must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we just know how time consuming our new little puppy is going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to the children. Since our little puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place the children into rescue this weekend!

They are described as:

One male - His name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blonde hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite. Temperament tested. Does have problems with peeing directly in the toilet. Has had chicken Pox and is current on all shots. Tonsils have already been removed. Tommy eats everything, is very clean, house trained & gets along well with others. Does not run with scissors and with a little training he should be able to read soon.

One female - Her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), strawberry blonde hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times. Non-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, tonsils out, and is very healthy & can be affectionate. Gets along well with other little girls & little boys but does not like to share her toys and therefore would do best in a one child household. She is a very quick learner and is currently working on her house training-shouldn't take long at all.

We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them; that is why we contacted a rescue group. But we simply can no longer keep them. Also, we are afraid that they may hurt our new puppy.

I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation and we have a real emergency here!!! They MUST be placed into your rescue by Sunday night at the latest or we will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage or along some dark, country road. Our priority now has to be our new puppy.

California now allows pet trusts to allow for pet care after their people's death. We are going to investigate this right away!

Car wash goes to dogs

A car wash place in Des Moines has added a dog washing station. I wonder if the water is warm and the towels soft like at our house? Mom washes me in the tub. I love my baths. I love everything about them. The wetting down part is nice, the soapy rub-my-back part is amazing, and the rinsing just adds to the anticipation of the finale: towel rubbing!

There is nothing I do not like about a bath.

Andy the Lhasa Apso

Andy the Lhasa has an AMEX but not a Verizon Wireless account. But Verizon's debt collection service sent Andy the Lhasa in California the unpaid bill that should have gone to another Andy somewhere on the East Coast.

I think Andy looks like a pretty cool dog!

Andy Finelli's story

We got licked!

Hey check out the post today on Licked Toys! That's us! And our most beloved-of-all-toys, the Big Dogs Frisbee.

We heart that frisbee.

We had a horrible incident a few weeks ago when it flew into the neighbor's yard. They weren't home, so we couldn't get it back. I was completely confused and a little depressed. But the next day, the frisbee came home! Mom says the neighbor tossed it back, but I think it missed me and found its own way home.
