Scoop your Poop

I have a real pain in my butt from all the lazy dog owners out there who don’t pick up after their dogs. They treat the world like it’s their personal toilet, and they don’t bother to flush. On the weekends Ming, and I walk through different neighborhoods with our dogs, and cannot believe the amount of dog poop that is littering the landscape. People who walk their dogs, and don’t have the courtesy,or respect for their neighbors to pick up the messes their pooches are leaving in everybody’s yard are just rude, idiots. That is not to say that we all haven’t been out with out pups, and reached for a bag, and came up empty handed. I’m complaining about the guy who does this ALL the time. He/She gives all dog owners a bad rap in the neighborhoods because of their swine ways. 

These are the same people who decided that their dogs do not need to be on leashes. It makes it easier for them to come running at you and your leashed pet. That exact thing happen again this morning to Ming, and I on a walk. We were walking Star, and Kc when a very large (huge) ridge-back dog came charging at us. The dog was barking, growling, with his fangs out ready to pounce on the boxers. Ming froze in fear. Kc, and Star stopped, and were still. I just kept still also, but was prepared to kill some dog ass if I had to. Finally after the barking, and charging, the unleashed dog sauntered back home.. Ming started to breath again, and both of my sweet puppies just put one foot in front of another, and never looked back.

We run into a lot of dogs off leash at the beach because the owners like the freedom for them and their dogs. Free to crap, and no one picks it up. Feel to jump on all passing people, and dogs. Feel to annoy any/everyone passing by. Those signs “No Dogs on the Beach” are not for them, just for the rest of us. Of course it’s because of them that the signs were ever posted in the first place.

If you hear someone yelling to pick up after your dog, chances are it’s me. I don’t mind picking up after my dogs, and even sometimes yours, but not All the time.

Let’s all do our share to keep the neighborhoods clean for ALL of the dogs passing through.

Woof and Wine

Just picked up this postcard and wanted/needed to share this with you. This is an amazing event. Wine, food, silent auction and more. And yes, Ming and I will be there.

 

Star came from Boxer OC Rescue. This is another Boxer Rescue Organization, non profit, volunteer based called Boxer BRLA. Last year Boxer placed nearly 800 boxers in new homes. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, I’m sure you are impressed! So am I ! C’mon, donations are tax deductible. Such a worthy worthwhile cause. 

I hope to see you there. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can. Here is the link for the event, if you can’t make it, you can always donate!

“Sisters”

Our shining “Star” from boxer rescue has been a joy to us all. We were very happy to hear that Star’s sister lived pretty close to us. Brenda, from BoxerOCrescue, called me a couple days after Star was living with us. She requested our permission to give out our phone # to the family that had adopted another female boxer from the same litter. That same day we got a call from Deb to set up a play date. We responded with “come on over right now”. When the girls saw each other they were delighted, and began to play immediately. 

It was also great to see our shy guy Kc get into the game. Now we have three beautiful boxers running wild, and having fun in our yard. The little boxer’s name is Shanti, and she is a real doll. We all fall in love with her right away too. Can you tell we love boxers….

So either Scott and Jess bring Shanti over the house, or it’s Mom and Jess. Star and Kc can’t wait for their play dates with Shanti. We look forward to watching the girls grow, and change together. We all feel this is a nice opportunity to sit back and enjoy these boxers at play.
