2007

I was at adoptions this weekend and met Samantha, who volunteers at the MuchLove Organization (dog rescue) and she told me that she reads this blog!  It's the first person I've met in person who knew me from my blog.  That makes me like 1/1000 of a celebrity <----said very sarcastically.  She's super cool and she is fostering a Dalmatian named Pretty.

I took Sassafras, my little Chihuahua, to see if anybody showed interest in her at adoptions.  One couple, who live down the block from me, spent a lot of time with Sassy and I think they'll probably call me.  Sassy also got an application from a really nice young woman who lives about 15 minutes away from me.  The downside is that she rents and that she's technically not allowed to have pets (although she is friends with her landlord).  Sassy's such a perfect pet that I want to make sure I find her a home that's 100% right for her. 

I've grown somewhat impatient with the numb-nuts that attend adoptions.  People who stop by--look at the dogs--and ask the most asinine questions like "why are you giving away your dog?".  Do they honestly think that a bunch of people are conspiring against their own pets and adopting them out on Sundays?  It doesn't help that I do adoptions on a really trendy street in Los Angeles.  Obnoxious wanna-be actors will come buy in their Gucci Sunglasses, stare the dogs up and down and then leave the scene with their Vanilla Ice-blended coffees in one hand and the keys to their leased BMWs in the other hand.

Anyway...hopefully this enertained you.  Tell me stories about spending the holidays with your dogs.  Send me pictures!!!!!!
