love this

Someone sent this to me. Really puts in perspective yes?

Dear Rescuer,

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!!!

Unfortunately, we must get rid of our children IMMEDIATELY because we know just 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/Irishmix), 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.

And would you believe, that on top of that, my husband has developed a severe allergy to the children. His eyes begin to water and itch as soon as he comes into the house. His asthma has been out of control ever since our second child came along.

For the record: not mine ;-)

More dog stuff

Shocking I know. I went to PetSmart tonight and picked up an Easy Walk Harness for Cheetah. I only tried it briefly. I am not sure if I had it fitting her properly. But she did walk loose lead. That is a first so I am hopeful.

Of course I could not go into PS and buy just one thing! So I got a few toys and chewies and 2 hard sided dog pools. In August I am hosting a rescue reunion party for everyone who has ever adopted from Rescue Angels. (Not to be confused with the litter reunion I will have next Spring.) This is because I have the biggest back yard and am crazy enough to offer :-) I believe the tally is up over 150 dogs at this point. Even if only 1/3 come that is a lot of dogs! (not to mention people.) So I thought it would be good to have a couple of dog pools on hand. They were only like $9 - how could i resist! That's how they get ya.

But the end all be all purchase. . . they had the SHAM WOW!!! At PetSmart! OK, I am coming out of the closet - I am an infomercial freak. But I never actually order anything. But it was sitting RIGHT THERE!!! How could I resist?! AS SEEN ON TV!!!! Now if I happen to see that lawn edger weed whacker thingy, my universe will be complete.
