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

The bond between a Canine and its people....

Recently there was a story in the news about One of our American Hero's, One of our Seal's that was recently killed.  At his funeral service his dog lay near the casket to let his master know that he was still waiting for him.  This is the same story we've heard time and again.  A toddler who sneaks out of the house with nothing more than a diaper and t-shirt on, missing for 24hours. His only saving grace was that the family dog happened to follow him out.  The dog encircled the baby through out the night keeping him warm and safe from wild animals.  This is something that people can readily relate too.  I myself have felt the pain of someone I love being gone.  I am Lucky in that my Girl is away at college and not out of my life for good.  There is still a void I feel each day.  When I come in the house I still find myself going to her room and pawing at the door to see if she's inside.  My mom opens the door and lets me inside.  I jump on the bed to see if she's there.  It still smells like her but she is no where to be found.  She jokingly calls me her fur brother and I miss her.  I know that when she comes home from break I will get to see her so I can only wait until then.  We know how important our people are to us... now its time for people to realize we are important to them too.

To all of our service men and women I say thank you! I will be sending good thoughts for you to come home safely to your families.

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