Dog rescue … and Charley

We interrupt this political bantering for an update on the rescues.    The National Humane Society tells us that this year will be the worst year for a long time … when folks lose their homes the pets are dumped.   Dumped?   Taken to the pounds, left tied in the yard, set “free” …

The list of foreclosed homes in our local paper grows daily.  (Fights the impulse to go off on another political tangent).

A few weeks ago our local pound went to doubling up in the cages because the caretaker is sick of putting dogs down.   Sick of putting dogs down … We get calls every single day from folks looking for a place to take their pets.  This week so far it is 2 long haired Doxies, asst. terriers, 2 labs, 1 rottie, and 2 great danes.  Those are the ones I know about.    <sighs>  This doesn’t even take into account the cats.  Cats are almost always set “free”.   Our local cat rescue currently has 83 cats.   What can I say about that?    besides … OMG.

<shakes head and sighs>

So, anyway we have Charley.   Charley is a beautiful Pek.   He came complete with registration papers.

Hope that farm comes along soon … (you know the one I am waiting to win the lottery to buy?)   Could be a long wait huh?
