Well, it’s not really my fault that someone left a crunchy, fun plastic bag on the floor. These guys KNOW plastic bags are my weakness. So when I saw it next to the bed, I had to play with it. You understand. And you also know how loud plastic bags can be.
Which the staff was reminded of this morning. They were not pleased.
But BREAKFAST was still served!
The latest, hottest toy…..
This morning Pugs and I were feeling particularly rambunctious and the guest bedroom door was open so we had big long area in which to play. We used the “running through the house and up and down the stairs like a herd of damn elephants” wake up tactic.
I like it when Pugsley is in on the wake up strategy so I don’t have to take all the blame. Believe me, he likes BREAKFAST just as much as I do.
The herd, post BREAKFAST.

One of my new favorite blogs, Pawcurious, did a post on this today. The author of Pawcurious is a vet and describes in a compelling and heartbreaking way how it is NOT OKAY to buy puppies from pet stores. Of course, the exception to this is when the local animal shelters or rescues are there on site with pets available for adoption, like they do at Petco.
As Dr. V. urges in her blog post, please don’t ever buy a puppy from a pet store; they are undoubtedly from a puppy mill where the dogs live in horrific conditions and often have problems – physical and emotional – for life. This horror is in addition to the fact that there are so, oh, oh many pets that need homes already.
But as long as people keep purchasing from pet stores, the puppy mill people will keep supplying them. It’s plain and simple. I know most of you know this already but our friends and families may not! Please help educate others. It’s our duty as informed, caring animal lovers.
I love you guys for supporting me and my efforts to help animals everywhere. Thank you!
