Loki - R.I.P.

Martin Luther King said, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

What is the measure of a dog?

Loki, companion to actor Mickey Rourke, remained by Mr. Rourke's side through his highest highs and lowest lows. Ever faithful, ever loyal, Loki gave her 2legged comfort, hope, love, and much joy. She was always there for him and unwavering in her support. Mr. Rourke recognized his 4leggeds in his Golden Globes acceptance speech. In his interview with Barbara Walters, Mr. Rourke credited his 4legged companions with helping him through the darkest of all times, when all else was gone.

Loki, the measure of a dog lies in the amount of love she gives. And you gave so much.

You were there for your 2legged ALWAYS, and Mr. Rourke made sure the world knew that. Your life had meaning and purpose. You are missed and will always be loved.

Mr. Rourke, our condolences. We understand your loss and your pain.

One a personal note, Loki, I will think of you every time I lick up some capuccino foam!

Scooby Dawg

This is Scooby Dawg. He is my now favorite toy. Momma is making a big deal out of his missing dot eyes. They peeled off! But they would not stick back on, I love him just the same. Now she is fussing over his "pillow corner"like ears! They are delicious. And I am giving him antennas. So why the fuss???? I love him as he is.
Momma, let it go!!!

winner STUMPs out ageism at WESTMINSTER

2leggeds are obsessed with age.

Honestly. One of the first question asked whenever we are out in public is, "How old are your dogs?"

So, why does that matter? Maybe I am a wee bit touchy because being the youngest I am always referred to as the "baby" and I AM NOT A BABY!

I have been trying to understand why age is an issue. Is my big brother JD less of a dog because he is 5? He is a heart breaker. Ask momma. She calls him that all the time.

See? He is really handsome.

So really why the age fixation?

Does being older make you a lesser being?

Does age make you disloyal, less loving, less caring, less attached, less attractive?

Personally I do not pick my 2leggeds based on age. Trust me on this, there are many small 2 leggeds whom I avoid simply because they seem unpredictable. But that personal bias aside, I don't see how age is a detractor.

An older 4legged has been around. Knows the score. Is grateful to be in a loving home, bonds with his family because they are his family. I am told that many "older" 4leggeds are not adopted simply because of age. Really. How sad.

Can I point something out to all 2leggeds? In 1877, two leggeds created a "Show of dogs" in New York city. That social event evolved in what you now call the Superbowl of dogs. The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Forty 2legged judges. Seven groups of dogs [again your obsession with cataloguing... organizing] Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non Sporting and Herding. Entries are limited only to AKC Champions. Supposedly this ensures that only the very best dogs in America compete.

[snort.... ha... if only that were true. The fact is that this whole competition only measures those in it. Some us are the best dogs and choose NOT to compete! I like to think I have evolved way past the Bichon circus performer days... Or as JD says, "No dog and pony show for me!" ]

35.000 live spectators, 4.6 million television viewers [ obviously they are only counting 2leggeds viewers....] witnessed the event this year. The top honor at this "Superbowl of dogs" is the Best in Show award. A best in show winner must receive top honors from the Breed Judge, the Group Judge and the Best in Show Judge. [Complicated humans!] What does this have to do with age? Ha. Guess, just guess how old this year's Best in Show winner is????? Stump, a 10 year old Sussex spaniel was this year's best in show winner. Congrats Stump.
10 years old.... or as you 2 leggeds would retort... 70 in human years [like that matters!]

So... by your own standards... by your own definitions... by your own rules... an older dog is the BEST dog.

Do I need to say anymore America????

Looking forward to my peak at 10!
I am going to be incredibly gorgeous!!!!!!

Somebody OWES us an APOLOGY!!!!

Love the image. What's there NOT to love? Two beautiful Bichons, just hanging out.

The caption???? ICK. Horrid. Vile. Untrue. Inaccurate. Offensive. So NOT PC!
Unfunny. NOOOOO redemption. And here comes the worst... momma bought that card.
She did. The inside said something stupid, "elegance we may not have... friendship we got..."

First of all, I don't know a single Bichon that drinks out of a toilet. Ick. Let alone a public toilet. Double Ick. I have my own travel bowl and I like my water filtered and iced.

Second... No Bichon could reach a toilet [not that we would!] to drink.

Third, if your Bichon is actually desperate enough to drink out of a toilet you are a failure as his or her owner.

Fourth. Give me a break. Such stereotypical drivel....

Fifth. Momma until you apologize to me, I will take my water freshly poured with an ice cube and a slice of lime. And no kisses from me.
