Meet Kiwi

Hi friends! Great news, I went down to Miami Animal Services and adopted this precious dog.






She was found as a stray and no one claimed her, maybe it was the infestation of fleas, or her mange, or maybe her bum leg but whatever the reason they never came for her, she's all mine! I can't wait to tell you all about our new adventures. For starters, here she is on her first trip to the beach!!

Almost Silent Sunday

I just wanted to thank everyone for your kind words and support over my Schizer baby. I still cant believe how even the smallest daily chores remind me of her but little by little the memories are happy ones. I will also try to fix the comic I posted yesterday, not sure what happened with that! I guess this wasn't much of a Silent Sunday at all!!!

On to Doggie Heaven

I remember the day she came into my life like it was yesterday. I loved her from the very moment she tried to bite me but I had no idea that the love I felt that day would last so long and grow to be one of the strongest absolutes in my life. She was there for me when I thought my world was going to end, she licked my face until there were no more tears and she had this way of looking into my eyes that made me feel safe. When she was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure I knew I would do anything and everything to help her live as long as she could and the medication worked for quite some time. That is until the day came when it didn't. It all happened so fast, she couldn't breathe, and she wasn't responding to the oxygen or injections. I looked into her eyes, the ones that provided me with such comfort over the years, and I knew. I knew she was suffering, I knew enough was enough. I held her when the doctor gave that final injection and when her body went limp, with the tears coming from my eyes I couldn't help but think I let her down. I still do. When I reached my driveway that night I sat in my car for what seemed like forever. I was too afraid to walk into my house knowing she wasn't waiting for me on the other side. When I finally got up the courage to open the door and walk in I knew at that moment I would forever be changed. For on that day a piece of my heart left with Schizer's soul, a piece that can never be replaced. Rest In Peace Schizer. You were the best dog anyone could ever ask for and I love you more than words could ever explain.

Happy Fourth of July

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Don't Mess with Street Dogs

Whenever I go away I always want to go to the local shelter but when they don't have one, the local street dogs or as the Bahamas like to call them Potcakes, always take my breath away. I remember being in Nassau and wanting to take almost every Potcake home with me, it didnt happen but I bought them McDonalds to make up for it. The best thing about street dogs is their ability to not take any sh*t, honestly we can probably all learn alot from these bold dogs. Take a look...
