Here in her own words here is Elsa, telling some details of her story. What you may not know are some of the details about puppy mill breeding operations, short of ‘they’re bad.’ Elsa was a product of a puppy mill breeding operation. “You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, ‘Wow, you’re right! I never would’ve thought of that!’” - Dave BarryĮver say anything ‘foolish’ to your dog? What was his reaction?Īs many of you know, our newest “shadow” around the house, Ms. Now I know how teenagers feel when their pawrents say or do something totally weird. A dignified dog like myself has to maintain a certain level of decorum and poise and mom just blew my whole ‘cool dude’ reputation. My thought was “WTH” is wrong with that woman? I have never been so embarrassed to see everyone in the park looking at her like she had lost her marbles. I’m not prone to cocking my head very often, so she started making all these goofy noises and flapping her wings paws to catch my attention with the hopes of capturing a pic like this one. Dave Barry is a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist of whom we are big fans. We had gone to a large park in the city a while ago and took some photos of me in the gorgeous autumn light. Here’s the first quote mom found that made her smile. It means the world to mom who is absolutely rabid about spreading the word on the horrors of puppy mills. As her big brother, I just want to say many thanks for all your kind words. Poor little Elsa was a little overwhelmed at all the nice things every one said to her yesterday so I said I got this one, li’l sis. Mom thought about it for about 87 seconds and then realized it could be a very cool way to check out some pawsome quotes by uprights about dogs. We want to thank our friend, Rowena over at Beyond the Flow for nominating us to participate in the 3-Day Quote Challenge. It actually was fun to find quotes and I loved reading all your comments. Those kinds of guidelines seem almost like the proverbial chain letter where doom and gloom will come to anyone who breaks the chain and I rather despise that aspect so I’m not nominating anyone specifically but encourage you all to participate. “If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.” - James Thurberĭo you think your pups will make it to heaven?Īs part of the challenge, I was supposed to nominate 3 people (actually I was supposed to nominate 3 peeps each day but if anything, I’m all about breaking rules). Definitely these 3 will enter the pearly gates for sure, but am not as certain about me (especially that short-haired version of me-what was I thinking?!). I couldn’t agree more with his sentiment. One of my all time favorite cartoonists, authors, playwrights, and general all around wits, James Thurber is today’s quote for the 3-day challenge.
