A song sung by Patti Page and written by Bob Merrill is a rather dopey little tribute to a puppy in a pet store window. This blog is a waggly finger diatribe to every dog owner who at this very moment in time does not have a valid-up-to-date-registered-dog-tag on their dog. (I would have said “or their cat”, except I don’t like cats.)

Texas oil tycoon Boone Pickens and his wife, Madeleine, spent about $50,000 to charter a flight from Baton Rouge Louisiana on Sunday. The flight wasn’t a last ditch effort for a wealthy oil baron to get out of hurricane devastated Louisiana, but a really nice man and his family’s contribution to airlifting as many as 200 dogs out of the area to safety, food and water.

While researching the makers of a hot sauce called, get this, “Rat Sauce”, I came upon Rat Sauce a website dedicated to everything rat related. This of course, is the instigator of this little we-blog. Rats and hot sauce… what more could one ask for?

Humans are Pack Animals Too

When I was 8, my parents rescued a puppy and brought her home. She was a ginger and white coloured, floppy-earded dog with a beagle-like appearance. We named her Sandy. She was a mutt and I loved her. She had this weird behaviour when it came to milk bones. She’d bury them. The only thing wrong with that, is that she’d bury them in the house while we watched. I don’t know if she wasn’t too bright herself or if she simply thought that we weren’t too bright. She’d take the milk bone, crawl underneath the tv cart and in full view of anyone watching tv, she’d pretend to dig a hole in the carpet, drop the milk bone into the imaginary hole and then kick imaginary dirt into the hole.

Sometimes, if she were feeling coy, I suppose, she’d take the milk bones and disappear with them; down the hallway to my parents’ room. There, she’d pull the bedspread from my mother’s pillow, shove the milk bone underneath and then attempt to pull the spread back into place. It ticked me off; she made bed better than I could.
