A Moment of Silence....

As is the custom at TFBOMGG, let's please have a moment of silence for Bruce.

My dear yoga teacher Darla lost her trusted companion today, and his pure, sweet soul has gone to a better place.

Miss Ginger didn't know Bruce well. He was a rescue dog, and apparently had been abused by a man in his prior situation, so he did not respond well to men's voices. He was an everpresent sweet soul at the Yoga Garden, and usually held a watchful position at the top of the stairs.

Godspeed, Bruce. And condolences, Darla. Thank you for being his friend!

Another Terrible Idea...

this time from those clever(?) Japanese?

At the Tokyo equivalent of Petsmart, you can place your dog in a dog washing machine, start the the cycle, and 30 minutes later fido emerges clean, happy, and healthy!

?

Miss Ginger just has to declare that this torture chamber smacks of animal cruelty! I mean, really! Locked in a chamber for 30 minutes while you are blasted with water, suds, more water, and then hot air?? Even Jackson and Shelby agree that no doggie deserves that!

Where is the humane society? SPCA? PETA??!! Anybody?!!

If you MUST see this monstrosity in action, follow this link! Miss G can't bear to watch it again!

Please Pray for Emmy and Colleen!

I found out today that my dear friend Colleen has to put down her darling cat Emmy tomorrow. I think it's one of the hardest things we have to do in life! I personally think that one of the reasons we become so attached to our animals is because they have such pure souls! They know no malice, they don't understand hate, and they think anyone with a bowl of food in their hand is the best person on Earth! I sometimes think the world would be a much more peaceful place of our souls were more like those of animals!
Anyway, Emmy is 20 years old, so her years of frolic and comfort are long gone. She will be at peace, and Colleen will have to come to terms with the fact that she has done the right thing at the right time.
And all any of the rest of us can do is pay our respects to them both!
God love you, GingerSnaps! I do!
