ITS MY BIRTHDAY! On Thursday, October 4th, I will be six years old and it will be four years that I have lived with my good Mom and dopey cat! I will probably get a present from my Mom (she knows I love squeaky toys) and we will celebrate with little cupcakes that have frosteen on them. Yum! I just can hardly wait.
OK, then the second big deal is that it is National Adopt a Dog Month. I don't know if my Mom knew that October was for adopting a dog, but that is right when she did it and took me home with her. I had been waiting for her to come for 3 months long!
This is what I looked like when she took me home:
So if you are in the market for a dog like me, go visit your local shelter and talk to all the dogs and see which one suits you. I bet you won't be sorry!
My Mom says we are a family of rescues. My Mom was adopted when she was a little toddler, I was adopted at 2 years old and Ziva Zophia (Zkhat) our kitty came when she was about six years old. So adopt, adopt, babies, dogs, horses, donkeys, cats and whatever else you like that needs a home. Its a good thing!
The rest of you out there, if you are adopted, tell us your story!
Kisses,
Stella, almost six years old!
We forgot to write down the place where you can learn about adopting dogs. This is on Karen Pryor's blog which has lots of info for you!
I know it's one day early but Happy Birthday Stella! (Better than being late, which Gail usually is with birthdays, if she remembers them at all).
ReplyDeleteWell I will concede that you are just the best advert for Adopt a Dog Month. Even if you do sometimes like lecturing younger terriers across the Pond....
Toodle pip!

Jo wishing you a lovely lovely birthday Jo and we hope it is filled with fun, sun and lots of treats. You deserve it. Not only I am a rescued dog but so is my bestest friend Pippinpumpkin. Peeps believes in giving a second chance to unwanted pets and boy are we wanted. Love and hugs on you birthday. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Happy Birthday!!! I am a rescue dog, too, as are my 2 kitty and 1 bunny sister! We agree rescues are the absolute best! Sometimes my assistant wonders who rescued who ...
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 6th. BIRFDAY... TOMORROW!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL Celebration fur your Special Day!!!
ReplyDeleteall 4 of my current pups were adopted - 2 from the back road where someone dumped them to starve; 2 from the country shelter. and i love each one to pieces!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday tomorrow!!!
Love this post. Hank was a rescue. He's been a great cat and a darned good friend. It's so great when they can be saved from a society that abused them which is the case a lot of the time. I keep telling Hank how lucky he is to live in this house safe and sound. He just looks at me blankly. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is always a special home for those that wait and looks like the wait was worth it. Special homes need extra special dogs... I have a dopey cat too aren't we lucky :-)

Happiest of Birthdays, Stella! You're in good company -- Kuster will be one year old on October 8. He thinks it's the most important day in history! BOL!
ReplyDeleteBlueberry, Morgan and I were all adopted, and in Dad's family, there are more adopted human puppies than biological puppies. Grandma and Grandpa were foster parents for a long time and some of the human pups just never left!

Happy Birthday in advance, sweet Stella. Thank you for the advice about patience. Shyla is my first "rescue"... and it does take patience! I'm glad to hear that things have worked out so well for you - you're an inspiration You, your mom, and Zkhat are all very lucky to have found each other!
ReplyDeleteIn just a few hours it will be your birthday, so we all wish you the very best, happiest day with lots of treats and maybe even a special new toy.

Happy Birthday, Stella! Maybe your mom will give you an extra cupcake today just because!

ReplyDeleteA late BDAY wish from all your friends out here! Great post!!! We are all adopted/rescue dogs - and we know we rescued our people from sadness and loneliness. Isn't that grand for all of us??? For you, too, Stella Sunshine!
ReplyDeleteHappy (Belated) Birthday to sweet Stella!

Happy Belated Birthday to one of my most favoritest woofies in the world (even if you did put your mouth on my Ziva's head that one time)! This is my Finding Month, too, so you can party all month long if you want to.
ReplyDeleteAnd my AAB found a new kitten--but lucky for me it lives at her house, not at the library, so I still have the place to myself. She didn't know it was Adopt-A-Dog month, she's hoping that doesn't mean she has to stick the kitten back out in the cold. Are substitutions okay?
Headbutts to beautiful Ziva, too!
That IS one of momma's paintings on today's post. And you would be inspired by the sights of Balloon Fiesta! We just head up into the hills to watch...far enough away that we don't hear the propane whine OR experience the traffic. AND momma always makes hot chai and fresh from the oven muffins to take along to eat as we watch!
ReplyDeleteoops, forgot...Maya grew pumpkins all across their kingdoms along with chilies and their principal protein source (domesticated) was turkey. Their pumpkins were not the huge engineered things we get today by small softball sized fruits which they stewed with chile and tough turkey meat for hours to make a thick rich stew (albeit spicy) sometimes the bowls were decorated with floating (and edible) lorroca flowers (not sure of the spelling) and the stew was eaten with corn cakes. I worked on a marvelous computer 3d recreation of a section of the Copan site a few years back that was a delight!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Thanks for visiting Diamond and leaving a message. I really miss him.
ReplyDeletebest wishes,
