Family, pets, and feral populations

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Bethany

In Russia there are dogs that have figured out how to use the subway system to travel to locations with better food. From what I can tell, most Russians aren’t particularly bothered. The article there calls them stray, but I’ve seen them also referred to as feral dogs the way that we refer to feral…

A Monday Bit of Cute

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Bethany

I’ve been trying to get some cleaning done this holiday but was just distracted by how sweet Toby was being with his new “friend.” My nana had a collection of small stuffed dogs that she gave me to me when she started preparing for the day that she and my grandpa might have to move…

Support Pakistan

Posted on August 26, 2010 by Bethany

When  Haiti experienced an earthquake, there were telethons, collections,  front page headlines, radio djs talking about it, massive cell phone  donations, and more to help the victims. Now  there’s massive flooding in Pakistan, causing more damage than “the  2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, and the 2010 Haiti  earthquake combined” (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/08/19/why_doesnt_the_world_care_about_pakistanis  ) and the…

Puppies aren’t products

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Bethany

The focus of Best Friend’s “Puppies Aren’t Products” campaign isn’t giving puppies as gifts (it’s the awful practice of puppy mills) but the sentiment still applies. I’ve been asked multiple times by different people for advice on buying a cat or dog as a gift for someone. I always tell them not to do so….

Crossing my fingers

Posted on August 2, 2010 by Bethany

Keen met his applicant yesterday. And ate from her hand!  It took him months to eat off of my hand. He also purred when she held him. I think it was true love. Now I’m just waiting for the shelter to process the application and paperwork. I’m crossing my fingers that she’ll get approved quickly…

Might be a bite?

Posted on July 30, 2010 by Bethany

Just a quick update on my lunch break…the shelter called and a woman heard about Keen from Sunday’s event (I think a friend of her’s saw him?) and she’s interested in him. She’s an older lady who has a soft spot for older cats. I should be getting a call from the lady soon to…

Re-homing PSA / I’m on my high horse

Posted on July 29, 2010 by Bethany

I do have sympathy for those who must give up their pets. My grandparents had to give up their dog after my nana’s health problems continued to worsen and my grandpa no longer had the time to care for the dog the way he should. Also, the dog loved to dart out open doors and…

Greeted with a purr

Posted on July 22, 2010 by Bethany

Sorry for the lack of posts but I didn’t want to announce that I’d be out of town for a few days. My boyfriend and I headed up to Cleveland to see my parents. My boyfriend has only been in Cleveland at Christmas when it’s not at its prettiest so it was a treat to…

To make your hope easier

Posted on July 4, 2010 by Bethany

My dad has been a die-hard Cleveland Indians Baseball fan since 1954. For those of you who are unfamiliar with MLB, to be a fan of the Indians (or really of any Cleveland team) requires one to be an optimist. My dad is no exception. One day in college when I was upset about something…

Short Term DC Cat Fosters, please?

Posted on June 29, 2010 by Bethany

I usually try not to post from work because I respect my employer. However…my shelter, Washington Humane Society, just took in 20 cats from an eviction. It’s kitten season and we just got 20 more cats. We’re open access, not no kill. Do you start to guess why I’m breaking my “don’t post during work…
