Hey Devoted Readers - I'm experimentin' with creative greetings- please, let me know how I'm doing and offer constructive suggestions please. I just had to share somethin' with you all. It'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside even if you're all warm and fuzzy outside too. My moms just got back from goin' to see a movie - they don't do that very often - maybe once or twice a year so you know it must be a real special movie. Well, I think they said it was about cats and dogs, so I guess it was real special since dogs was in it. Mom told me it was about one poor cat that lost all it's fur- I don't know how- but this cat wanted to make all the humans hate dogs so they would love cats! How tainted is that logic as my momma would put it. I just would say it was a stupid idea. You are never gonna get humans to dislike let alone hate dogs. Now I know there are some folks that aren't particularly fond of us but they don't hate us. There are some that are scared of us cause 1- they have never met us or 2- they had a bad experience one time with a dog that wasn't as friendly as I am. See, I have the disposition of a therapy dog. I think everybody in the Black Dog Club could be a therapy dog but some don't want to and that 's okay. I am what our trainin' book calls a social butterfly. I don't spook easy so I don't get too stressed out in most situations. Anyway, back to the movie, a certain select group of doggie and kitty agents had to stop this one cat with the stupid idea. The whole moral of the story was that cats and dogs do get along. DUH ! I live with fivecats myself!
What was really neat is that after they got home fom the movie momma started readin' her Delta Society trainin' book. Teddy's momma said she wanted us to start trainin' by the middle part of September. That aint far off. Momma was readin' parts of it to me about how dogs go into all sorts of places and help people or kids. They help them do some kinds of physical therapy (like helpin' somebody to get better use of their arms by pettin'me). We help people that don't look so good and are shy about it cause we don't care what anybody looks like we just like people in general. The book said we help lower blood pressure -whatever that is- and we help people to relax, get in a better mood and relax. According to the book we can even give somebody a feeling of accomplishment ( I think that means that they think they can do somethin') by brushin' us or even givin' us some water. As she read all this to me I just thought Wow, that sure is a lot for a bow wow - I know we can and do a whole lot more that just what she read but if you want to get the biggest bang for your doggie cookie odds are you'll get a lot of love from a dog. It don't matter if your dog has a pedigree like all of us. It just matters that you love them and take good care of them so they can take care of you. I'm goin' for a little manni pedi in the mornin' so my nails don't give me touble next weekend when I jump. Maybe momma will spring for a hot tub soak or a facial too.... I promise detailed reporting on the events comin' up next week if I could broadcast live I would but momma hasn't figured out how to do that yet.
Thanks a million gazillion for readin'
