Mom has been a little busy lately, so she hasn't had the time to take me on my walks. So yesterday when Keisha the malamute dropped by, I decided to take her home myself. Ok, I mean, I chased her home at full speed. Darned near gave myself a heart attack running that hard. But it was great fun!
Dad called me back after I got her home. I really wasn't going to stay, I just needed to blow off some steam.
You know, people are really a lot like dogs. If they don't get exercise, they get all lethargic and puffy. But if they'd just get out and move, they'd feel much better.
I even decided to talk a short spin over to our neighbor Madeleine's house the other day when a cat walked inside her fence. I came right home, honest. And no, I didn't eat the cat, I just chased it. And it wasn't HER cat, so it was a good thing I took care of it for her. See how everything always works out for the good?
So you humans, need to get out more and get some good runs in. I know Mom will eventually get back to taking me out with her. Until then, I'll try not to make the neighbors mad at me.

Dog Fights
Yesterday a couple of dogs got loose in our neighborhood and had everyone all riled up. There was a lot of barking and snarling all over the block. RileySue and I were just excited, as we thought maybe one of them was going to come and play. No such luck. Mom couldn't even catch Keisha the malamute so we could say hello.
Later in the evening, our friend Tom came over with Franklin, a Boston Terrier mix. He's so cute. Chunky and stout, all black and fearless. RileySue was going to chomp him. She's three times his size, but for some reason she thought he was a threat. You could tell she was about to take him out, so Mom had her put outside. It's that watchful eye she has to make sure no one gets hurt. She doesn't allow dog fights in her territory.
You humans shouldn't allow dogfights either. I heard one on the television last night that was pretty pointless. A bunch of people standing at podiums while barking and snarling at each other. They all said their plan was the best for our nation, but no one really said anything. It was more of a personality barkfest. My mom would have shut them up and sent them outside.

Victim to Victory
I overheard a new story this morning that really got me excited. You should hear this:
A lady who was brutally kidnapped by Somali terrorists went back to Somalia to help the people! Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Victim to victory.
You know, dogs have the same things happen to them- they get abused or abandoned and the dog catchers pick them up. They get stuck at a shelter where a great percentage of them are put down. But if people would take them home, work with them, they would be the best friends ever. I know because that happened to me. I was a victim, but I have victory.
People can do the same. You can turn your situation around by helping others. You can face the problem and it will flee from you. I am so glad that lady got the guts to go back to the place where she felt fear and turned it all around. You can do it too!

A "Peace" of Advice
It's been a little more peaceful around here the last couple of days, since half of the company went home. Mom's still busy, but it has been more quiet. I actually like the company. I love the pets and treats.
It's really hot in our house in the afternoon. My fur coat seems to be a little excessive, and I don't sweat. Mom tries to keep cold water in our bowls, and always lets me sleep by the air conditioner in her bedroom, but out in the kitchen or living room it's nasty. How come we dogs can't take our coats off in the summer? Hey, Lord?
I'm feeling sad for a lot of humans. Their lives are like trying to find a room with an air conditioner. They are going through hard times and a lot of them don't have a Mom like mine to help them. Mom has a couple of new friends that are always sad. They have no other people in their lives that encourage them. (That's what dogs are for, by the way).
Humans are quite fragile. My advice of the day is for all of you to get a dog. (Shelters have lots of them available). But if you can't get a dog, then try to be a good friend to others. Hearts that are broken and lives that are shattered need you! Please help them have a little PEACE!
