Mad
Recently saw this ad from a large pet food company:
“Adopt a pet for the holidays. Let Ixxs help. Learn more.”
These folks should know better. A pet is for life.
Fact: many pets are abandoned post holiday seasons.

Dog V Shark
A man has saved his pet dog from a shark attack by jumping into the water and punching the fish in the neck.
Greg LeNoir and his rat terrier Jake were swimming at a Florida Keys marina when the attack happened.
The 53-year-old carpenter said: “I saw a big, dark green shape, which I realised was a big shark’s head. It zoomed up from under Jake.
“Jake screamed - a death scream - and it sucked him under. I dove straight down like a battering ram, and I drove my fist under the water into the shark.
“And it pushed him down - it felt like concrete on my hand.”
The shark’s teeth punctured Jake’s skin and some muscle on the dog’s abdomen, chest and back. Jake also suffered lacerations on his right side and front left leg.
The incident happened on Friday afternoon when Mr LeNoir took Jake to the Worldwide Sportsman’s Bayside Marina pier in Islamorada, Florida for the dog’s daily swim.
Mr LeNoir said he was terrified when he saw the shark, but his only thought was saving Jake, who he described as a fast and fearless swimmer, often retrieving jellyfish and coconuts..
“Jake is such a big part of mine and my wife’s life - we don’t have children,” he said. “This is what she considers the closest thing to a child. And I couldn’t abandon him.”
Mr LeNoir’s brother, Phillip, told the Miami Herald: “Jake’s doing great. And I still can’t believe my brother jumped in the water and punched a shark.”

Pet Blessing
A posting we saw recently at a local church. This is real and not a joke.
Blessing of the Animals
Bring your animal companions (or photos) for a special blessing in our parking lot. Invite friends, relatives, neighbors and workmates. This special event is free and open to the public. You will meet other animal lovers and learn about animal related organizations. Seniors, families, singles, and children, are encouraged to bring their dogs, cats, birds, lizards, rabbits, potbellied pigs, fish, tortoises and turtles and other well-behaved pets. We at Bxxx believe it’s important to recognize and honor the great bond and relationship between pets and their people.
