Wow...Can't Believe It's Been So Long!

Hopefully you all had a great Fourth of July. We did.

Now...does anyone else have a dog who barks at airplanes to make sure they don't
land on the house? Well...Scully is an EXPERT at it! LOL

He runs to the edge of the property every time he hears a plane and barks at it- even if he can't see it. His hair stands up along the middle of his back like a little stripe and he barks and barks. Naturally, the plane flies away and he watches and listens to make sure it's gone...and gets in one last bark- as if to say.. " and don't come back!!" He scratches the ground all proud of himself and trots about his business...checking out new smells, etc.

I have to say, proudly, we've never had a plane land on the roof, thanks to Ever-Vigilant Scully Boy!

This Must Be Addressed...from the ASPCA

I subscribe to the ASPCA newsletter and was so sickened, appalled, disgusted, infuriated that I had to post this...not to bitch about my feelings about this but to spread the word...you'll see why...

A 17 yr old girl from the Bronx was mad at her ex-roommate so she broke into her apartment, trashed the apartment and put her ex-roommate's KITTEN IN A HOT OVEN AND BURNED HER TO DEATH!! Neighbors COMPLAINED OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE APARTMENT...Firefighters found the remains of the dead kitten still cooking in the oven...The girl, Cheyenne Cherry admits to doing it because she hates cats!

There is another organization called American Humane ...go there and read about the link between child abuse and animal cruelty...it's sickening but important to learn about.

I'm sorry this isn't a cute, fun post this evening about our hero, Scully...however, I've always suspected that in his early months, he was abused in horrific ways...I suspect this through his reactions to everyday things...

Please report any signs of animal or child abuse...They are counting on us to help...
I just can't write anymore. My heart and prayers go out to the poor girl who lost her beloved in such a cruel, heinous way.

First Ice Cream of the Summer!

When I was a little girl, the much-awaited bell of the ice-cream truck used to ring through the sultry air on those hot summer evenings...It was always after supper, so an ice cream or frozen lemonade or a popsicle would be the ULTIMATE ending to a fun day.

There were little ice cream cups called Hoodsies, too...Vanilla ice cream and a wooden sppon that was really a spoon at all, but a flat spoon-shaped piece of wood...It was AWESOME! I found them at the grocery store the other day and had to buy a bag of eight.

Apparently, dogs love ice cream, too. Short, little Corgi-Chihuahuas especially. It would've been an adorable photo but my batteries were dead....Yes, there was Our Boy, Scully, licking the inside of the empty cup. Ever-so-gently, he carefully got every drop of vanilla ice cream that was left...He made that last almost 10 minutes! There was NOTHING in the cup when he started- or so I thought.

It looks like we're off to a fantastic summer...:::watching Scully lick the rest of the ice cream taste from his mouth.::: By the way, he's also waiting for pizza now....

Millionaire Seeks On-line Apprentice

For now...Scully says "Sweet Dreams an Doggie Kisses" Good Night

Stopping in to say Hi.

So, Scully and I have been having a blast since Memorial Day. We've been to the park with his brother, Dovi....walked in the rain...basked in the sun by the shore. Chased a few birds and a squirrel. We've shared egg and cheese sandwiches from our favorite coffee shop- Sip n Dip. We've had a few games of "Catch The Food." Lots of tummy rubs, puppy kisses, a few doggie baths...lots of afternoon naps and dog biscuits.

I will catch up with all the topics I'd like to write about...but for now, let's be happy and listen to our dogs. They'll teach us so much if we just stop, listen and watch. 'Til next time, Jenny, Scully and Dovi

Honoring the War Dogs this Memorial Day- The Forgotten Heroes

Scully, Dovi and I would like to thank all the men, women and animals that have given thier lives for our freedom this Memorial Day.

Most people don't know that besides horses, dogs have been used in war...I know that Milk Bones were made to give a treat to some soldier's dog in World War I. Dogs have been parachuted out of planes by themselves- a terrifying experience in itself...only to land in war zones...many a dog has saved his soldier's life

During Viet Nam, the VC would deliberately target the dog kennels to kill the dogs...because the dogs would sniff them out. Sadly, tight up until sometime around 2000, our dogs were left behind...thrown away by the military...torn from the ones they loved and protected...their soldiers...This is taken from "War Dogs- -The Untold Story of Dogs in Combat," : "America's war dogs prevented over 10,000 casualties in Vietnam alone and bravely served our country in Operation Desert Storm as well as World War II. Yet, many of these K-9 Soldiers were declared "surplus armaments" and were unceremoniously euthanised or left to unknown fates in Vietnam.

America's war dogs were trained to recognize booby traps, mines tunnels and weapons caches. They were trained for parachutte landings. They warned troops about ambushes. They saved lives by dragging wounded soldiers to safety. These canine heroes lived, bonded and fought side-by-side with our veterans.

After World War II, surviving war dogs were sent home to their families with honorable discharges. But at the end of the Vietnam War, military officials abandoned almost all the American war dogs. None of the dogs of the Vietnam War have ever been honored for their bravery and service until now.....in the documentary War Dogs, America's Forgotten Heroes. Man's Best Friend- Especially in Combat!

I wish to honor them this day...the Silent Heroes, who once again showed their loyalty with their lives. There are several links on the web..please look them and up and learn just how wonderful and brave dogs are...http://www.war-dogs.com/, http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/CCAB/war.html

We salute you, our fallen heroes: men, women, feather, hoof and paw...you are never forgotten.

Save a Sato....What's a Sato?

A wonderful thing happened to me yesterday morning...You see, I had a wonderful website for several years and amassed a great deal of information regarding internet-business building and pages of animal welfare organizations, tips, foods, etc. Due to some unforeseen interruptions in my personal life, I let that website go.

I'm now re-structuring and re-building the website and I remember many of the wonderful organizations I was linking to. One of them is Save a Sato. I will be featuring them on the new website, actually, in the near future. But I'm including them in this morning's blog because of a little dog I met in the park yesterday morning named Lucy.

After bringing Scully and Dovi home from their walk in the park, a close friend and I "drove through" my favorite Sip n Dip Donuts here in Warren, RI and we went back to the park, opened up the canvas chairs by the water and enjoyed a yummy breakfast.

While enjoying the sun, a gorgeous little peach and white dog came sniffing up between us...Her human, following along behind her. He is a wonderful, kind gentleman who introduced us to Lucy. Lucy was dropped off on his doorstep in a box in Puerto Rico. Apparently, all her brothers and sisters were dropped off that way after her mother gave birth to them. The people just put these puppies in boxes and left them on random doorsteps. Not a good idea for the pups...or a safe one. You see, animals aren't treated well by the majority of people in Puerto Rico...Perhaps you recall about a year or so ago when an apartment complex told the tenenats they couldn't have pets anymore...? The owners of the complex sent people in to remove the animals..instead of taking these family pets to animals shelters...they were brutally thrown off a bridge- ALIVE....over 70 or 80 of them...thrown alive...terrified and flying through the air to their deaths...landning on the ones who'd gone before them...I think a few survived...the lucky ones. People were outraged, horrified...and I even signed some letters and petitions...There were family pets...Some are run over..Strays are poisoned..starved, left to die....Satos are the street dogs....

Save A Sato does its best to rescue as many of these beautiful, loving trusting animals..Cats included...they see they get proper vet care, baths and TLC...some are even sent here for adoption. Please visit the link here: http://saveasato.org Read about this wonderful group, look at the Before and After photos and contribute something if you can- even $5 or $10 dollars.

Muchas gracias de parte de Los Satos....de Lucy...y de Scully, Dovi y Yo
