What did your pet(s) do today?

Daniela,

I love love love that name Jennifer - always have! I knew my next female dog would be named Jennifer years ago.

Also, since I am using the name Jennifer already ... when it is time to adopt another female dog, her name will be Allison. Great sounding name, I love it too!

Back early Fall, I worked really hard with lots of other peeps to save a dog's life in a HIGH KILL SHELTER. I mean it took the whole village working hard to get this dog out alive. The dog's name was Avery. I gave Jennifer the middle name Avery in honor of this dog named Avery that we saved and helped into a loving home. "Jennifer Avery" ... I like it!!! *butch giggle*

Something funny ...
it was getting very very close for Avery. She had been on the daily kill list twice and we'd up our pledges, just start again throwing wads of money into her pledge bucket ... hoping a rescue would pull her. With pledges rising, this shelter would not kill her that day and would put her back on the urgent list with no kill date specified. I had tried to adopt her in the beginning but I was told I could not because I lived over 1000 miles from the kill shelter. They won't adopt out that far away. I had pledged close to $300.00. Anyway, I knew they were going to kill her very soon. Avery's time had just about run out. I learned decades ago money talks. I was working an "under the table" deal to adopt her, everything was in place, already had the transport get-away car lined up to bring her to me. It was going to be a "GO" the next morning. Someone adopted her out from under me that afternoon. I did not care. I only wanted the pooch to leave walking out of the shelter with 4 paws on the ground and not in a garbage bag. I feel like she got an awesome home. The adopter posted pictures of her with them in her new home. Seeing the photos made all of us so happy.

... and so .... we all lived happily ever after.

Heh Heh!

My 11 month old dog made me chase him around with one of my favorite shirts in his mouth. I think he thought it was a game. He doesn't normally get into the laundry basket. Btw I won his little game.

Well Penny is going through a hump the couch or couch pillows faze. She's 17 months old and has been fixed for over a year but the last 2 months or so her humping habit has gotten a bit worse. We try to keep her busy but she seems to not be able to control it. The only thing that I can say I don't mind is she's not humping humans or other dogs so at least it's not embarrassing in front of guests or dogs at the dog park. I am hoping that she can control herself before I have to buy a new couch.

Tiny dog _insisted_ she wanted some of the human food in my hand - so I gave her a sliver of raw carrot. She sniffed it, and then very carefully, so as not to get her tongue or lips on it, took the very edge of it with her teeth and carefully put it on the floor. Then she looked at me like it was my fault she didn't like it.

Tiny dog soon again _insisted_ she wanted a sliver of raw potato. She finally left it on the floor with a few tooth holes in it.

Kitty Diva gazed on throughout with bored derision.
