Rainbow Bridge Anipals

      I realize I have not blogged since before the Christmas holidays. That does not mean to say that I have abandoned Blogger.  I remain here, in the background, checking comments that my readers have so gratiously  taken the time to leave for me.  I so appreciate each and every response and suggestion, and compliments from y'all.  Your kind words turn a stressful day into a happy relaxation. And,  I am so honored and grateful for the ever increasing page views.  So many of my readers have such interesting and helpful blogs here on Blogger and on Wordpress.  I have been educated on dog health, dog food, animal laws from many countries, animal rights organizations, human health and nutrition, history, travel, and so many other topics from Bloggers. 
      If you are on Twitter or Facebook, I also check my Twitter and Facebook pages daily.   I now have over 500 Twitter followers. I have met so many "anipals" on Twitter and enjoy meeting each and every one.  I don't just click the "follow" button.  I will check you out, see what interests you, where you are from, and "talk" to you.    I am interested in each and every anipal and their human that follows me, and have enjoyed many a lively discussion with most.
     Thanks to Blogger, Wordpress, Twitter and Facebook, I now have friends and anipals from all over the world.  I am learning words from languages other than English with the assistance of Google and Bing Translate, or with Babelfish.  Do you know what BOL or MOL mean?  Why, Bark Out Loud and Meow Out Loud!
       So if you Tweet, give me a shout out at:   Twitter.com/TuckTheLawDog.
       Leave your comments here on Blogger or at Wordpress. I will be blogging.
       I enjoy all this social media and am grateful for everyone new friend I have met. 
      
       And to Archie (Facebook & Twitter) and Austin (Twitter) who have this January 2013, taken the 
       journey to the Rainbow Bridge, enjoy being healthy and able to run and play like puppies    
       once again, my friends. 
       Take care, y'all.

OCTOBER IS "ADOPT A SHELTER DOG" MONTH


As my readers know, I was adopted from a shelter.  I am so very, very grateful to have my own bed, and a zillion toys, and a fenced yard to run around in.  My Mom & Dad say they are the lucky ones to have found me.  They say their lives are happier, more meaningful, and a lot more active (they emphasize  the more active part).  I guess it's the Jack Russell in me.  I was pre-housetrained, too!
Please don't buy from a Puppy Mill.  Please go to your local animal shelter and give a pet a new home.  And, if you cannot adopt or rescue a dog, donate what you can to your local shelter, even if it is the price of a cup of coffee.  Animal shelters always can use:  Money, food, toys, towels, paper-towels, or even your time.  
Take care, y'all.

Adopt a Dog from Your Local Shelter

Adopt a Dog From Your Local Shelter

Or, subtitle, “How I Came to be Tuck The Law Dog.”  As the story goes, my Mom and Dad didn’t want to go through the heartbreak of losing another family member.  Squeaky the cat had passed away after suffering through CRF-Chronic Renal Failure.  And, Sammy the cat had passsed away  prior to Squeaky, from lymphoma of the small intenstine.  Sammy was going on 19 years of age , but Squeaky was only 11 years old.  Anyway, Mom and Dad were going to go to the animal shelter close to home, but Dad had to go meet a client in another direction, so they went their first.  While waiting for Dad, Mom walked over to yet another  animal shelter  “just to look.”    She told me she was looking for a big dog, she used to have big dogs and thought that little dogs were for old people  to drive around in their cars and sit on their lap.  The shelter that day was full of big dogs and really big puppies.  In fact, I was the smallest dog there.  So when Mom saw me, I was shaking in the corner of the kennel.  Alas, she looked at me and kept walking.  What I didn’t know was that she was walking back to meet my Dad and make him come see me.  They came to the cage, looked at me, said I was cute, but then walked away and went and looked at the three  really big and shaggy white and black puppies.  They then decided to go the the original shelter that they first started out to that day.  But something made them turn back to take one more look at me—and they asked if they could take me out of the cage to the “meet and greet” yard.  Whoopie!  The first thing I did when we all got outside was to jump in Dad’s lap, give him a kiss, and refuse to get down.    Mom said–well,  that’s our dog, let’s take him home.   When they returned to pick me up after processing it was on a Wednesday around lunch time, so they didn’t go home but had to go back to their law office.  They had a blanket and toys there for me.    And the rest, as they say, is history.  I go to the law office with them every day,and even have another dog friend to play with during the day, “Sam,” who also goes to work every day with his Dad.  Sam was abaondond, shot and left to die, until his Mom and Dad saved him. Life is good–for me and Sam.   There’s lots of great dogs at the animal shelter waiting for a home and someone to love.
Take care, ya’ll
