Okay, get ready. You've gotta rehearse because, once you take me home, your life will be full of these encounters. When people say "Oh my gosh, what a cute dog!" you say, "Thank you! This is Sushi. He's friendly and loves people!" And when they say, "What kind of dog is he?" you can say, "He's a rescue!" or you can say, "He's a little-legged big-eared mix of some sort!" or you can just say, "He's an American." Or I guess you can get my DNA done and tell them the results, which I suspect will be a list of
My mission: destroy, dismantle, engulf in flames. Whether it's the patriarchy, oppressive systems of government, or the tchotchkes on your tchotchke shelf... I'm not picky. If there's chaos, I'm a happy little Puddle. Puddle is my name, by the way. Isn't it sweet and cute and springy? And yes, that is one side of my personality. I'm affectionate and adorable and I love making friends. I mean, just look at this squishy little face: the little pink nose and pastel colors that say "what a little angel," and also eyes that clearly say "do you want to join my cult?"
Tuesday Boost-Day! Mylah is still waiting! She and I hit the trails this weekend and she was a dream. Sure, she's a huge dog, but she listened well and was lovely and gentle with everyone. We even had an off-leash dog run up to us (rude- don't do this on public trails) and she was happy to make friends and help lead the dog back to his owner. Mylah is a major cuddlebug, a serious goofball, and a total sweetheart. I spent the whole drive back wondering how I could take her home myself and make it work. Answer: I

Sometimes, we seniors can start to feel like society has forgotten about us. I'm Jonesy and I'm 13 years old, so some might think my best days are behind me. I have to say, I disagree. Imagine if they'd said that to Sir Ian McKellan, Betty White, or Morgan Freeman. Yep. That's me: a four-legged national treasure. For some of us, life begins at 13. That's not to say I didn't have a life. I did. I got to know and love other cats, dogs, and little children, and did well with all of them. I'm a classic introvert: I love my
