Something about Me

Hello people,

My name is Wile E. Super Genius

I am currently in my laboratory thinking of ways to besmirch the dastardly Orange Cat that torments me everyday on my outings. I wish I could say that I could turn the other cheek when it comes the orange hairball but if I did I might end up looking like I had a run in with Freddy Krueger. I will tell you a little about myself. When I was a young pup I had a rough life. The people who owned me…yes, I said owned me…didn’t treat me very well. I was often kicked and hit. As I was tied up in the back yard being soaked by a March downpour I finally made my escape by desperately chewing through the harness that held me captive. I was free!!!! Alone on the streets, hungry, and hurt, but free!
Soon the Dog cops caught me and I was held at the “Pound”. It wasn’t as bad as where I was before: I had food, water and a roof over my head. I had three roommates that were very pushy and always stealing all the food, but I guess it could have been worse. My time at the pound was growing short. Everyday people would walk through the halls looking at us and trying to decide if we would go home with them. I waited for my turn, but it didn’t seem like it was going to come. One sunny day, a girl with long flowing brown hair walked up to my cage. She bent down and called to the little black whiney guy laying behind me. He looked up but never came to her. I walked up and placed my paw through the cage to get her attention. I also gave her my best booboo lip. She looked at me and said something to the big lady with her, then walked off. My heart sank into my tail.
Several days passed, and it was looking bleak. Several people came to my cage, and the girl and the big lady came too, but they were looking at the black dog, not me. It didn’t look like I was ever going to get probation. An older gentleman reached down and picked up the little black dog and cuddled him tight. Well, at least I got rid of a roommate. The girl sat down in front of my cage and took a tennis ball out of her pocket. She put it near me to see what my reaction would be (she didn’t know that next to cow and chicken the tennis ball is one of my favorite things). I didn’t know it at the time, but the girl and big lady were in the process of springing me out. I had to have surgery and a microchip before I could leave, but once that was all done the Big Lady came back, scooped me up in a blanket, put me in a warm dog crate, and took me to a new home.

My new home is amazing. I have my own bed with a fuzzy blanket (we refer to it as a woobie). I have tons of toys, food, treats, cookies, but most importantly a family who loves me. I have a girl, a mom and a dad. While my plan for world domination is ongoing, at least I can do it in comfort with the love and support of my new family

Trident might be good for your Human's teeth but it can be deadly for dogs.

Like a lot of families mine is weight conscious and because of it we have sugar free gum and goodies in the house.  Mom says this helps get passed the cravings that can derail a diet.


I recently heard her talking to my girl about how dangerous this stuff was for me, and to make sure that she never leaves a package of gum where I might be able to get a hold of it.


Now I know I'm not suppose to have chocolate, raisins, or grapes but I had no idea that other stuff could be a lot worse.  Mom said that  Xylitol is common in sugarless gum and in sugar-free snacks,  The Chemical is OK for Humans and most other animals but for us dogs it can be disastrous. What happens is it causes a big drop in blood sugar which can cause seizures.  It can also cause permanent liver damage and even death.... A little can have grave affects.  Two sticks of gum can cause death to a small dog under 20 pounds.   it can happen pretty fast too within a 30 minute time frame it can be  too late.


So if you think your pal has gotten into something with Xylitol check the label if it has Xylitol listed get your friend to the Vet.


I'm glad my Mom and Girl know this so that it can help me stay safe.


Too all my friends out there please pass this important message along...


Cheers from the dog with the ears!
