Adopt: Take a Chance and Learn to Dance



 

People often come to the shelter where I volunteer looking for a specific dog  - a dog like the one they grew up with, a dog exactly like their beloved companion that recently passed away.

Sometimes they make a connection with a dog, perhaps only eye contact through the kennel door, but the dog is not what they are looking for.  They leave the dog behind. Wrong color, wrong size, wrong age.

Stop it.  The dogs in shelter need homes, and you need a companion.  Take a chance.  If you lost a sweet and mellow Golden Retriever, try a little black Chihuahua or a scruffy mutt.  Now and then one of the small dogs will stand on its hind legs and do a little dance.  Either begging for food, or begging for attention, does it really matter?  Some of the overlooked shelter dogs can dance, and you can too.


Adopt a Shelter Dog.


And Dance.

Top Ten Reasons Dogs Are Better Dancers Than Cats


A new Top Ten List is posted every Monday.

  1. Dogs are used to shaking their rear ends.
  2. Cats just don't dance.  Period.
  3. Dogs will do just about anything for a treat.
  4. Dogs will do just about anything.  Period.
  5. Dogs have better rhythm (actually, cats have none).
  6. Dogs go for car rides and listen to the radio, hence develop a groove for funky dance steps.
  7. Dogs will dance with partners, whereas cats are more solitary creatures.
  8. Cats can't watch Dancing with the Stars because they're always on top of the television.
  9. Cats get too distracted by disco balls (think laser lights x 1000)
  10. Cats don't have time to practice as they sleep 23 hours a day.

Top Ten Reasons There Is No Such Thing As An "Easter Kitty"


A new Top Ten list is posted every Monday.

  1. Easter Kitty would eat the Easter grass in the basket and puke all over the candy.
  2. Easter Kitty might deliver Easter candy.  Or he might not. 
  3. The Easter chocolate would melt on top of the television set.
  4. Easter Kitty would never don festive Easter garments.
  5. Easter Kitty would feel compelled to play with colorful Easter basket goodies that would then end up under the refrigerator.
  6. Easter Kitty would make mincemeat out of cute little Easter chicks.
  7. Creepy staring Easter Kitty would creep out all the children.
  8. Easter Kitty might choose to stay under the bed all day.
  9. "Easter Kitty" would get confused with less popular "Easter Bitty."
  10. Who says there's not an Easter Kitty?
