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

Looking into the darkness of humanity….

Yet again someone has shown the dark side of human nature.
If you have not heard this story yet… be prepared to have your stomach turned.
Courage.. Is his name he is a 3 year old German Sheppard he was tied up outside without food or water  this got to the point where Courage starting eating dirt.  In the midst of darkness someone who saw this poor boy decided that rather than walk past and do nothing, they rescued him and took him to an animal hospital. He only weighed 37lbs 1/2 of what he should weigh.  The vet says that with time and love he will recover.
They do not know who the "owners" (notice I did not say family) of this poor guy are.  Hopefully they will find them prosecute to the fullest extent of the law…
That being said….. The law when it applies to pets is sorely lacking… we are looked at as property… not family…not companion…but property.
Although I know I'm entertaining I can not be turned on and off like a T.V.  My family would argue that I am not property but a full fledged member of the family.  But, Because of the way the law views us, the punishment for cruelty and mistreatment of us is not nearly as strong as it should be.


We all need to speak out to get the laws update to recognize the change in culture.


My soapbox keeps getting taller and taller pretty soon I'm going to need a ladder to get down.


Cheers from the dog with the ears.........................
