South of Sunnyside

The grass is greener where the water is turned on

Dear people who shave their pets to look like other animals:

I’m pretty sure your over-weight chow does not want to look like a “lion.”

Please stop it. You’re being ridiculous.

A growing family

Maggie - this is her good sideWhen Kim brings home a new dog, it’s usually one she finds on the street, and she either tracks down the owner or hands it over to a shelter within a day or two. Maggie, however, came from a shelter.

Kim promised me we’d be foster parents for only two weeks. That was over four months ago.

This week, I discovered that the City of Fresno only allows four pets per single-family household. Maggie puts us at four, so we’re in the clear of potential violations, but I’m afraid Kim’s becoming too attached.

Kim’s also wanting a baby, so eventually we need to make room for one more. That’s a good reason for you to adopt Maggie, right?

In case you need more:

  • She’s darn cute.
  • She burps (but in the cute, abnormal way).
  • At under 35 pounds, she’s portable.
  • You won’t find a sweeter, smarter dog1

1I’m not kidding. Maggie has been accepted by all three of our dogs—including Darla, our alpha. She has never growled, barked or bitten, and would love nothing more than to curl in a ball in front of someone. (That someone could be you…)

My furry children

As overwhelming as it can be to have three four dogs in the house, I simply couldn’t imagine life without them. Which is why I share these photos of them being cute (besides, I’m overdue for a positive post).
