Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

WTF Wednesday (A Day Late)

By

Here is my original WTF Wednesday post from yesterday.  I can’t really explain it, I wrote it, tweaked it and published it and then I had a change of heart.

Truthfully some of this stories are so disturbing I hate to even bring attention to them.  But I threw it out there to you and I felt like you all really supported me with the WTF Wednesday series, so I decided to put it up tonight.

The only thing that changed is it was WTF/Whoo Hoo Wednesday, but since the Whoo Hoo replaced WTF last night, you’re only getting WTF today.

Make sense?

So without further ado, here is WTF Wednesday (a day late.)

During our walk this past weekend I almost stepped on a beautiful bright blue Robin’s egg.  (At least I’ve always been told those were Robin eggs.)

I stood in the middle of the woods looking around for a nest and saw none.  I wondered, how did this little egg fall from a nest?  I thought, where is the little mama bird?

And then my evil little mind started wandering a dark and scary path.  What if the mama bird knew it was a bad egg and pushed it out herself?

It reminded me of a conversation I’d had with the movers who came to pack up my daughter’s possessions and ship them to her in California.  The conversation (as usual with me) had turned to dogs and somehow we started talking about how people can be so cruel to animals, then one of the men said it was too bad we didn’t have a bad person detector.

You know like Charlie and the Chocolate factory when Veruca Salt jumps up on the bad egg detector and she gets dropped down the chute?

I figure we can call this a human dick-tector.

We made a little joke about a baby being born, put on the human dick-tector and the meter saying, “Nope, this one’s bad, get rid of this mutherf*cker.”

What would people do if they had the option of knowing their child was going turn out to be a horrible human being?  Would they make the choice (like an animal might in the wild) to abandon the child?

Which brings me to the next question.

WTF is going on in Texas?

I just happened to be on a Texas news site recently and found this disturbing story.

Bond reduced for Dallas man accused of setting puppy on fire.

Honestly, sometimes I have trouble reading these stories because they sicken me to the very core of my being.  If you’re like me and don’t like reading such things, I will spare you.  After 17 agonizing days the puppy died.

This man has been accused of violating his probation for four years, beginning at the age of fourteen years old.

That right there tells me something.  It tells me this is not your typical teenager getting into minor spats with the law. From what I can gather, he is prone to violence and has been accused of being in a gang.

Let’s put this guy on the dick-tector…….yup, this muther is no good, throw his ass down the chute and into the fiery furnace.

I bet if he was an egg in a nest, he would have been pushed out.

Baby allegedly in feces-filled room, 58 dogs seized.

Gross right?  A baby in a crib surrounded by filth.  Fifty Eight dogs, in crates containing vomit, feces and urine,  with no food or water.

Apparently a shelter in a nearby Texas county was allowing this woman to adopt animals without doing a background check.

W.T.F?

What does the dick-tector say about Teresa Weldon?

Put her in a crate with no food or water.

Barking Mad.

An unnamed man and his female accomplice were taken into custody Tuesday, after stealing an English Bull dog puppy from a local pet store.  After some quick work by the Houston police, the puppy was found unharmed and returned to the pet store.

When apprehended the female suspect laughed and said, “I don’t know why he didn’t want to buy it. He could have, but he didn’t.”

The suspect in question barked at the cameras.

Let’s put this guy on the dick-tector.

Put a bark collar on this guy, he’s apparently already been shocked a number of times.

How about you?  Was there anything that came your way that left you shaking your head saying WTF?

Whoo Hoo Wednesday

By

I had a WTF Wednesday post published and then I took a look at the last couple of WTF’s.  I’m not really sure that this is a popular feature (I’ve lost two subscribers in the last couple of weeks) so I decided to pull the post.

Truthfully, I think the people who commit these crimes are disgusting and while I’m poking fun at the people, inside in my heart it just doesn’t seem right to make someone laugh over something so vile.  Even if the laugh is aimed at the person committing the crime.

If I’m wrong about this I’m sure you all will let me know and I can start it up again.

So here is a Whoo Hoo Wednesday!

Over Crowded Shelter.

A shelter in Fort Worth with a capacity for 400 animals, had 560 as of yesterday.  For the first time in over two years the shelter is looking at having to euthanize healthy animals.

An emergency cry to the public and a reduction in adoption fees has resulted in the adoption of 87 animals!  Of course, there is still over-crowding in the shelter, so if you could share the above link on your social media outlets, perhaps we can help some special pets find their forever homes.  The reduced adoption rates will remain in effect until the end of May.

After I posted the original WTF on my facebook page one of my friends in Texas let me know that the shelter is swarming with potential adopters so the euthanasias have put on hold.

I think that’s amazing and worth a Whoo Hoo!  How bout’ you, what Whoo Hoo’d your world this week?

Aliens Took My Dog

By

That’s exactly what I thought yesterday morning.

While I was in the bathroom getting ready for work Delilah came in.  I pulled out my rug and threw it on the floor and said, “Down.”

Down she went.

I told her to stay, so she got herself all comfy and stayed.

Granted it wasn’t good enough for a show stay, but she did stay.  Even when I left the bathroom and went to check to see if my eggs were boiling.

Once I released her we went to the kitchen to get breakfast.  Even though she was dancing and jumping until we got there, she sat at the edge of the kitchen and waited while I got her breakfast.

She didn’t move once.

After breakfast the eggs were ready to be peeled. This can take me about 10 minutes because 1) I peel them while they are hot and 2) I make all my breakfast eggs at the beginning of the week, I also make a few for Hubby which means I made 14 eggs yesterday morning.

I peel the eggs directly over the garbage can.  Sometimes Delilah’s right there with me, trying to reach into the garbage and take out what I’m putting in there.

Not yesterday morning.

While I was peeling eggs Delilah sat in the doorway watching me.   At one point a piece of shell flew off and landed on the floor, I watched her from the corner of my eye.  She looked at it and then made the decision to leave it.

A minute or two later she looked at it again and I saw her head move as if she was going to get up and I said, “ACK,” and she left it alone.

I had no other options than to 1) reward her for such excellent behavior and 2) come to the conclusion that aliens had taken my dog.

Never fear, they brought her back late in the afternoon.

Just in time to help me make dinner.

How did your Monday go?
