Hi Guys! At the risk of beating a dead horse, I have
one more thing to say about Halloween. I
think it’s finally time to put everybody out of their misery and reveal my
secret identity as a crime-busting canine. Mom thinks the pictures turned out
really good and I wrote a poem to go along with them. CAUTION: Laugh at your
own risk, you may wake up to find a shepherd chewing on your toes if you’re not
careful.
I
am a caped crusader, a strong and mighty foe
Defender
of the helpless and always in the know.
So
do not fear the evil of ghouls and devil spawn
Just
give a yelp if you need help and Batdog will respond.
OK, so last week I said I was going to introduce you to a couple
of dogs who need homes. The first is a German Shepherd dog named Sheena. Wait a
minute…wasn’t she in a movie? I got it, that’s right, Sheena, Queen of the
Jungle! I wonder what in the world a movie star dog would be doing in need of home? Anyways, Sheena is a fifteen months old baby girl (Duh!). She
weighs 47 pounds, is black all over and quite a looker if you ask me. They tell
me she is frightened around people she doesn’t know and any loud noises or sudden movements scare her. Those Hollywood people must have really done a
number on her, I guess. But get this! Sheena has been part of that prison
program where they match up dogs with inmates, I think they are trying to teach
inmates not to bite. He has taught her lots of things, too, so she knows most
of her basic stuff like “Sit” and “Down,” but she will only do what you say if
she feels safe with you. They say once Sheena learns to trust you, she
will bond with you like superglue….and she does do well with other dogs. I think Sheena needs a home
with a strong alpha that doesn’t like noise and has a lot of patience…like me!
(Mom laughed) Probably a home with no human puppies would be best.
Toby is my second
assignment, but he wants to talk for himself, so I’ll turn the floor over to
him.
Hey Newlie!
Can I be on your blog too? I am a
great guy but I’ve been stuck in a kennel for 4 months.
And you understand what that’s like. I went through Camp
Canine 4 years ago and then this really nice lady adopted me.
I tried to eat her yorkie when I got to the house, he was just the
right size for a snack. Not sure what went wrong, but my new
mom got mad at me. We had a heart to heart and the little
fuzz ball and I learned how to get along. My new mom was really
dedicated to me and put in one of those invisible fences.
That was not much fun. Zap! Zap! Zap!. But
I got the hang of it. Just wait a few months and then the
zaps fizzle out – If I was patient I could just run through it. And
oh what fun that was. My mom has lots of woods in her back
yard. Once I learned I could go through the
fence, I’d run to the woods, roll in dead animals and
come home to show my mom! But guess what, that
didn’t go over well either. Those humans have funny
noses, they just don’t appreciate what we dogs do.
At any rate, after four years, my mom just couldn’t put up
with me anymore. She says she would worry about me when I got
loose, but I think it was my antics in the woods that did it.
The nice people at the Humane Society took me back but they haven’t had any
luck getting someone to consider me. You look like a great,
upstanding guy. And you know that shepherds are great
companions. Maybe you could spread the word? Your
friend, Toby
Anyone interested in either Sheena or Toby, please bark at the
Humane Society of Oldham County, (502)222-7537, and say Newlie sent you.
