My husband and I visited our local shelter on Saturday looking for another dog to adopt. The first little one we saw was a female Yorkie. She had just been brought in the day before because her owners had used a childs elastic hair band to hold her mouth shut because she would not stop barking and crying for attention. Her muzzle had been shaved and there was a red scar all the way around it where the band had grown into her skin. It was terrible. I still can't believe all of the horrible things people do to their dogs.

We really wanted to adopt her but the lady there said it was likely she was going to go back to her owners who did this to her. That poor little dog. I am sure they have not changed their ways and will not love her and care for her any better than they did when they put the band around her mouth. She did have a loud bark and cry but we were their for over half an hour and she only seemed to make noise when people walked with other dogs. I think she just wanted some attention. We have our application all ready in case she doesn't have to go back to her family. I will keep you all posted...

Well, my dogs and I just finished watching the Greatest American Dog. I have to say I was a little disappointed that little Andrew the Maltese didn't win, but I am very glad JD and Galaxy didn't win either. Travis and Presly were very good and also deserved to win, but I though Laurie and Andrew has the greatest love and bond with each other. I was hoping he would win to show all of America that little dogs are dogs too and can do everything that big dogs can do in their own way. To all of you who watched the show it was great and I hope they have another season. To those who didn't watch it, you should definitely do so if there is another year.
