TOP CHESSES

THE NAMING OF THE 'CHEESE GANG'
The story of how I got my name.

Yvette at  ©Turtle Gardens Animal Rescue Society decided the Carlie litter should be named after cheese. (Carlie gave birth to me and my siblings).

So, she wrote a posting on the TG blog asking everyone to put on their thinking caps and come up with some good 'cheese' names.  

Everyone got real busy digging out their caps, putting them on and pulling them down good and tight and the list they came up with was real tasty and some were downright stinking delightful.  

They came up with;
Velveeta
Stilton
Brie
Swiss
Blue
Camembert (Cami)
Ricotta (Ricky)
Emmental (Emmy)
Leyden
Jubilee Blue
Khoa
Sirene
Aura
Skyr
Cheddar
Gouda
Feta
Mozz
Philly 
Parm
Colby-Jack
Tex-Mex
Bartlett Blue

I LIKE LITTLE GIRLS

It's the weekend!!!!

I love weekends 'cause my dad doesn't go to the office. We had a short snuggle in bed and then we ALL got up. 
I say ALL because, dad gets up extra early to take me for a walk so mom can sleep longer, EVERY morning.  Mom takes me for my walks late at night and in the middle of the night if I rustle around a lot, make loud huffy sounds or whine.

Once we were up, everyone got ready to go to the beach. The sky is grey and cloudy, and it's raining on and off,  but we don't care. My mom says we are 'west coast ducks'. 

Jackpot! There were lots of puppies and old dogs, at the beach today! There were also lots of children.  But I was brave and I made friends with a 10 year old girl. I'm one lucky guy.... she understands dogs and spent almost an hour throwing sticks into the water for me! 

I'm a little bit afraid and unsure of kids. I usually hide behind my mom and tinkle a bit. But today I was bolder and let everyone pat me and talk to me and I wasn't scared... not even a little bit! 

Hooray for being a 'west coast duck'.  

Food Stamps for Pets

This is a grrrrrrreat idea...food stamps for pets. While researching financial aid options for a relatives sick dog, I stumbled across a  new donation-based program called Pet Food Stamps. This program provides food stamps for pets of low-income families who, because of current circumstances, are struggling ot unable to feed their pets. Over 45,000 pets signed up in the first 2 weeks of operation.  This is a privately funded, not a government, program. Unfortunately the program is only available to anyone in the USA.

Only in the USA?  So I started digging.. and you know how much I love to dig! 
I unearthed a website named Pets of the Homeless http://www.petsofthehomeless.org/
This organization provides veterinary care an pet food to the homeless in both Canada and the USA.
This organization only has 4 collection sites in Canada, all in Ontario.
