Where'd I get these extra toes? Well, I was walking along one day, counting on my toes the number of reasons you should adopt me, when I ran out of toes before I ran out of reasons. Suddenly, I came upon a mysterious lamp half-buried in the dirt. I pulled it out and began to wipe it off, and whaddaya know- a genie appeared! He was like "Hey Shanghai, I'm a real busy genie, so you only get one wish today and you have five seconds to decide!" Should I have wished for a family right there and then? Maybe,
Some of us thrive on chaos, while some of us... do not. My name is Meatball (I know it's a gender-ambiguous name. I'm a Miss Meatball, in case you were wondering) and I'm the sort who prefers minimal chaos, thanks very much. Now, don't get me wrong- It's not that I'm a lazy dog! I'm only a year old and I'm plenty lively. Think of me more like a woodland creature: when it's all birdsong and meadows, you'll find me frolicking joyfully through the wildflowers. But if you were to drop me in the middle of Times Square, I wouldn't know
We're gearing up for Give STL Day, a day to support local nonprofits through online giving! There will be power hours and prizes available throughout the day, which make every donation work a little bit harder. Stay tuned for a schedule as the day gets closer!
Something special is about to happen for me, but I don't quite know what to expect! My name is Lady Tremaine and, in one week and six days, I will have my very first BIRTHDAY! That's right: it's the day when I get to have balloons and candles and... get superpowers? Find out what faction of society I'll be sorted into? Have my name entered into a drawing to represent my district in a televised gladiatorial battle? I mean, this is my first time. I'm not clear on the details of what actually happens on my birthday. Oooh! I do remember one

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?"
