A Puppy Mill Mom

I’ve spent my life in a two by three box

Wire all around me, the doors have locks

My hair is matted, my feet are flat.

I’ve never known love, not even a pat.

My eyes are dim, my belly is round,

My callous pads have never touched ground.

I sleep in my urine and feces at night,

Squinting my eyes in morning’s bright light

Food and water they give me are old and stale.

This prison I live in is worse than a jail.

My life is a breeder in some puppy mill

The back woods of nowhere up on a hill.

I don’t see a vet and haven’t had shots.

My captors are cruel keeping me in a box.

My litters of puppies born all in a row.

What happens to them, I’ll never know.

They are taken from me at one month old,

Off to some pet store they are sold,

Just to provide for some persons greed,

Without one thought to what comes of me.

Keep your cats and dogs safe this Halloween

It's that time of year again where all sorts of goblins and witches wander the street in search of things sweet. Some of these are two legged and many are accompanied by their four legged friends.

This is also the time you front door will be opened again and again during the evening. This can increase the chances of your dogs and cats running out. Keep an eye on their whereabouts, or better yet, keep them safe in another room away from the front door.

 Safety is important to both humans and animals. Some people include their animal companions in their costumes; other cats and dogs can be seen wandering alone hoping for a handout. (Remember chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs.)

 Reconsider if you are planning on taking your dog out trick or treating. (See chapter “Jades Halloween Adventure”)

If you do, be extra diligent in watching your surroundings and keep them on a shorter than usual leash. Make sure they have their tags on and something reflective helps them to be seen. People are accustomed to seeing children; they can easily overlook a small dog walking beside you.

If you do take your pet out wearing a costume, make sure it fits well enough so they can walk, have clear field of vision, and that they are comfortable in it. If they struggle to get it off, or whine while wearing it - it is a sign they don't like it, no matter how cute you think they look. Make sure there are no little pieces they can chew on and swallow. Ties and ribbons can pull loose and get caught around their necks or legs causing them to trip. Some plastic costumes hold in your dog’s body heat and can make them pant harder than usual.

Make sure your dog is well ventilated and well hydrated. Be prepared to stop when they need a potty break and remember to take potty bags. No one wants to bring home the unwanted smelly dog poop on their feet.

Be safe - All of you - Happy Halloween.

The difference a dog can make in many lives

Annie the dog was a Mid-Wilshire neighborhood's best friend

 If your errands, dog walk or city job took you past a tree at the corner of 4th Street and Cochran Avenue, you knew and loved Annie, a husky mix who died Saturday.

There are candles and flowers on the ground, and sympathy cards, personal notes and photographs on a tree.

But the shrine that popped up this week at the corner of 4th Street and Cochran Avenue doesn't memorialize someone killed in a car crash or drive-by shooting.

It honors Annie the dog, who died Saturday night after she was stung by a bee and went into anaphylactic shock.

For four years the husky mix spent each day lying beneath a tree in front of an apartment house, greeting a passing parade of dog-walkers, errand-runners and those simply out for an evening stroll.

"She just enjoyed watching the world go by," said Brian Savage, an actor who lives nearby. "She never ran off, never barked at anyone. She was just a pillar of the neighborhood."

She was more than that, said Michael Moravek, also an actor.

"Annie was really a touchstone for all of us," he said. "It was nice to have her here. We might not know each other, but we all knew Annie."

Moravek placed a snapshot he had taken of her on the shrine. "She was our neighborhood guardian. Even now, Annie is bringing us together."

Six-year-old Roman DiGiulio walked to the memorial with his mother and placed a hand-printed note and a large red heart on the tree. "Have a good life in heaven, sweet doggie," read the note.

"I've known Annie for years," Caroline DiGiulio said. "She was considered the neighborhood dog. She loved being outside, and people loved seeing her."

Other condolence notes thanked Annie. "You were an angel here, and you are an angel now, sweet girl," read one. "You were such a special soul. Seeing you under this tree always brought a smile to my face," stated another.

Several messages recalled the joy of petting "your fuzzy, soft head" and the pleasure Annie got from "having your belly scratched."

Research coordinator Chris Wells recalled how his rat terrier-Chihuahua mix named Presley would greet Annie during daily walks. "I'm not surprised by this shrine," Wells said. "This is a dog-friendly part of the Miracle Mile."

Joshua Goolsey, a retail manager, agreed. "Annie knew all the dogs in the neighborhood," he said. "She'd pick herself up off the ground to come say hello. She was the nicest big dog you'll ever see."

City Department of Water and Power worker Jon Fernandez regularly makes service calls in the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood. He remembered his apprehension when he first walked past the unchained dog three years ago.

"I was a little nervous. Dogs sometimes come after us. But she was very docile," Fernandez said. "I saw her out here just last Saturday."

Casting director Michael McCaskey also remembered seeing Annie in her usual spot on Saturday. "She was such a friendly dog. Everybody loved her," he said.

Annie's owner, Jack Zurla, said he was moved by those who have contributed to the impromptu memorial. He said he rescued Annie 12 years ago when he found the abandoned puppy foraging for food near the corner of Washington Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

"I'll remember Annie as a dog that was more human than dog. She had the capacity to understand people. She was a dog of compassion for everybody. She gave people comfort," said Zurla, a designer glass and wrought iron company representative.

Zurla said people have stood crying in front of Annie's shrine.

"Annie made people feel like she understood their pain and sorrow," he said. "She was always ready to give someone some love."

Driving with your dog in your lap - will soon become illegal.

A 2010 survey by AAA found that driving while balancing a dog on one's lap is far more prevalent - and distracting - then anyone thought.

According to the survey, 21% of respondents admitted letting a dog sit in their laps while they drove; 7% said they'd given their dog food or water while driving, and 5% had played with the pup while the car moved. Thirty-one percent admitted to being distracted by their dog while driving, no matter whe
re the dog spent the journey.

“An unrestrained 10-pound dog in a crash at 50 mph will exert roughly 500 pounds of pressure, while an unrestrained 80-pound dog in a crash at only 30 mph will exert 2400 pounds of pressure,” said Beth Mosher, AAA Director of Public Affairs. “Imagine the devastation that can cause to your pet and anyone in the vehicle in its path.”

 The online study has a sample size of 1000 dog people who have driven with their dog in the last year.

In the soon to be released book, Stress Out for Cats, Dogs & their People, one contributor shares her story and how her dog paid the price of riding in her lap while she was driving.

Any parent knows how distracting a child can be in the car; and a child not in a proper seat and seatbelt is dangerous to both the child and the drivers ability to stay focused on the road. So the question is why do drivers think that a dog is less of a distraction, or deserves less safety in the car?

Such catitude

Even in the 1870s, humans were obsessed with ridiculous photos of cats

If you think the notion to slap cutesy epigrams on top of photographs of kittens originated with the internet, think again. Once humans got their hands on cameras, the dignity of the domesticated feline was forever doomed.

Everything I need to know I learned from the Easter Bunny

Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from the Easter Bunny.. .

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much chocolate.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans.

Some body parts should be floppy.
Good things come in small-sugarcoated packages.

The grass always appears greener
in someone else's basket

To show your true colors,
you have to come out ofyour shell.

An Easter bonnet can cover the wildest hare.

The best things in life
are still sweet and gooey.

This greeting has circulated the internet for years. The original authors has never been identified, so whoever you are - kudos to your creativity
