Both of my tenants have dogs. Yes, I take dogs.
When my second tenant was moving in I asked her what kind of dog she had, she said a mini-bull dog. When I went over to meet the dog, I expected to see a little white bull dog. Imagine my surprise when Bindi was actually a pocket Pittie.
I love this dog. She is absolutely adorable, always greets you with a grin and is extremely affectionate. One day Hubby had to go over to work on the kick plate of the refrigerator. As he tells the story he was down on his knees, with this elbows on the floor peering under the refrigerator, when Bindi stuck her face through the space between his body and his arm and began licking his face.
One day while I was over there, I sat on the couch while Bindi leaned against and drooled on my leg while I gave her rubbies. She is really a lovely, lovely dog.
I had thought, maybe one day she won’t be able to pay her rent and she’ll offer me her dog. 🙂
Since most of the Labs in my state are currently in foster care I thought I’d check my local pound to feature for today’s blog hop. The good news is my local pound doesn’t have any dogs.
Since Little Miss No Name was adopted from the Hartford pound last week, I thought I’d feature a dog from the same pound. When I checked out their Petfinder page, they had seven dogs listed. Sadly all of them were some form of a Pittie mix. In CT, specifically in the poorer section of towns, this dog is really over-bred and exploited. It’s very sad.
This little girl’s time is up tomorrow. She’s been used as a breeding dog, and has now been tossed aside.
There’s something in her expression that reminds me of Kolchak Puggle, her face just speaks to me.
Here is what the Petfinder page says about her:
Approx 3 years old. This sweet little girl is another throw away mom. She has obviously been used for breeding. She is a tiny thing, almost looks like a puppy! A sweet little pocket pit mix looking for a family to relieve her of what has been nothing but a stressful life of providing puppies. She is SO sweet and quite mellow but certainly loves her affection! Good with dogs she met. Would love to see her relaxing on a couch with a person, enjoying what life should be about for a dog.
The adoption fee for a CT resident is $50, and $5.00 for non-residents. Which doesn’t make sense to me, but who am I to argue if it saves a dog.
Today is the day I beg you to share this post on your social media outlets. We may not be able to save them all, but together we can save some.
