Rescues and Reunions

Last night was a great adventure. Nokona and my foster mom (Jet) was out for an evening walk when they were flagged down by our neighbor Sam. Sam had a forlorn little dog next to him.

It turns out the dog’s name is Miss Ellie. Her dog tag said so. Her dog tag didn’t say much else so Sam couldn’t find her humans. Jet went around the neighborhood with Sam but alas, no humans claimed Miss Ellie.

Miss Ellie spent the night at our house. Jet is such a sucker for animals.

The next day, Miss Ellie and my mom went to the pound but no one had yet asked for her. Mom doesn’t like pounds (the kind she measures on the scales) because she says they inflate her hips or the kind that locks up animals because they measure an animal’s value in a five-day life cycle.

Don’t worry though because Miss Ellie’s rescue ended well. It turns out her mom posted a lost and found photo on the mailbox with a phone number. Miss Ellie was reunited with her owner. We celebrated with happy photo moment.


This brings me to the lessons of the day. One, avoid pounds (the dog kind and the human kind). Two, there’s only one thing better than rescuing a pet and that's reuniting the pet with its human.











Okay, here’s the question of the day from Burger who asked: Why is it that just because my name is ‘Burger’ everyone I meet makes hamburger jokes?

Dear Burger:
I’ve got a quick joke for you.
How did the jury find the hamburger?
Grill-ty as charred!
Get it?
LOL.

Sorry Burger but your name does lend itself to a quick joke. Look, why not enjoy your name? I’ve got a friend called Gonzo. Everyone treats him like he’s dumb because his name makes him sound like a dummy. Your name makes you sound… cool. And, if you’re lucky you might become famous like Meatloaf. He’s got a beef name and he turned in to a rock star.
