Doggy poem for peace

It's spring here in North America and I am so ready as it has been a very long winter. This past winter I enjoyed social media as something to do when it was too cold to be outside. A place where dogs around the world near and far come to gather to show us who they are. 

Worlds away but still so close. Sharing daily musings welcoming us into their house. All animals share here even a mouse.

Witty sayings, fancy clothes, running, playing, jumping and snoozing on the couch are just a few things you might see. Or maybe a doggy barking up a tree?

Maybe a video or two showing off, playing with toys, doing tricks and of course finding big sticks. It's a wonderful thing to see so much love these doggies have like me. 

New puppies oh so cute, senior swagger pups and everyone in between is seen. All have a place and all are welcome regardless of size, shape, age, gender, or country we all love and appreciate one another. 

It's a wonderful time where we can share, care and touch lives of many and have them touch our lives too. No borders or boundaries, no BSL, no judgement, no discrimination, where we are all equal regardless of where we are. 

Imagine a world like that where everyone found love in their heart and would see and accept all dogs (and humans) as the same. That would be a wonderful place indeed where everyone would live in peace. 

With spring in the air and summer around the corner there will be lots to do outside, walks in the park, staying out late after dark, swimming, Frisbee, and playing ball. Shopping at pet shops in the mall. 

All dog deserve love. Let's help spread it.  

Ziggy's Story Continued

The shelter was moving to a new location and all the animals were crated and to be loaded onto a truck to be transported to the new location. Jimmy a young man that volunteered at the shelter had become very fond of Ziggy and really didn't want to see him get put down. When he placed Ziggy in the crate he didn't close the door tight. We are not sure if he did this on purpose or if it was a mistake but it didn't shut tight and Ziggy knew it straight away. As soon as Jimmy turned his back Ziggy pushed against the lightly closed door and ran as fast as he could as if his life depended on it and it did. He made his way back home and sat on the back porch crying. Timmy's mom heard him and brought Ziggy into the house. Abigail realized how cruel, ignorant, and heartless the BSL restriction was. When her husband came home they decided they were going to for the short term fence in the yard so that Ziggy would be safe. They also decided that they wanted Ziggy to be part of their family and he proved himself to be a loving friend to Timmy. They had a long term plan to sell their home and move to a different town where there were no breed specific laws or restrictions. Two months later they sold their home and moved to a new location where they were able to adopt Ziggy officially and became activists for the cause. Timmy and Ziggy would enjoy walks in the park and playing ball. Ziggy became a loved and treasured part of the family. 

So this is where I met Ziggy at the park and he told me his story. Rescue a dog save a life. End BSL and save lives. Spread the love.  If you enjoyed Ziggy's story please leave a comment.
