Normal puppy deposits are from $100.00 to $300.00 depending on puppy price, and flight plans. Most pups can go home at 8 weeks of age, I never let a puppy go until they are physically and mentally ready. |

Why adopt a dog anyway? I wish I could love like a dog, unconditionally and with total purity. My Ratties won't notice if I'm wearing brand new Manolo Blahniks or 10-year-old Birkenstocks. They don't give a hoot about how much money I make, whether I'm Christian or Jewish, black or white, pro-life or pro-choice, Democrat or Republican. Do I drive a Beamer or a Bug, live in a condo or McMansion? Am I partial to Richebourg Red Burgundy from France or Two-Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's? Maybe I battle chunky monkey thighs or am blessed with a bod like Beyonce. Doesn't matter. Not important. My Ratties are wholly and utterly devoted to me for one reason and one reason only: because I'm me. OK, that and I can work a can opener. I'd love to work and play like a dog, with total dedication, purpose and concentration. Like the service dog that carefully guides his guardian across a busy street or through a bustling crowd. Observe how seriously a border collie will try to herd playing dogs in a dog park. Watch how focused a golden retriever remains on that airborne Frisbee. See how vigorously a labrador swims through water. Nothing lackadaisical or halfhearted here. Dogs aren't mulling over their walk tomorrow, their meal tonight or their nap in 10 minutes. Dogs live in the moment. Enthusiastically, they embrace each second of the here and now, be it a day in the field guiding cattle, a Sunday in the yard chasing squirrels or simply a restful afternoon snoozing in a pool of sunshine. Suddenly, dog-tired sounds more like an aspiration than a complaint.
When mistreated, dogs forgive. When ignored, they still love. When abandoned, they remain loyal. When neglected, they don't judge. They want for one thing only. To hear their human's voice, feel their human's touch, revel in the nearness of the person they love so unconditionally. Without prejudice, bias or discrimination, our canine companions epitomize the best of human nature. Or what human nature should be.
All of which leads me to believe there's a reason why it's often pointed out that dog is "God" spelled backwards. Because both deity and dog have traits we human beings should all aspire to resemble. |

If i didn't have dogs... If I Didn't Have Dogs . . . I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there. I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable. I would have money ...and no guilt to go on a real vacation. I would not be on a first-name basis with the veterinarian, as I put his yet unborn grand kids through college. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers. My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash. I would no longer have to spell the words: B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O, R-I-D-E I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside. I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much. I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading 'mud' season. I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many animals?' from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get. How EMPTY my life would be! Author Unknown |

Misc reads, and warnings Dog Owner's Prayer
O Lord don't let me once forget how I love my trusty pet.
Help me learn to disregard canine craters in my yard.
Show me how to be a buddy even when my sofa's muddy.
Don't allow my pooch to munch postal carriers for lunch.
Shield my neighbor's cat from view— guide my steps around the doo.
Train me not to curse and scowl when it's puppy's night to howl.
Grant I shan't awake in fear with a cold nose in my ear.
Give me patience without end— Help me be 'A Dog's Best Friend'!

Lokota Ledgend The Pact of Fire
When the world was created, first man and first woman struggled to stay alive and warm through the first winter. First Dog struggled also.
Deep in the winter, First dog gave birth to her pups. Each night, she huddled in the brush of hte forest, longingly watching the fire which kept first man and first woman warm.
First winter was severe, so cold that first dog dared not leave her pups to search for food to fill her own belly, fearing that her pups would freeze to death in her absence. she curled around them, but the wind was bitter. Her belly shrank with hunger, and soon she had no milk. The smallest pup perished, and first dog felt her own life draining away as she struggled to care for the remaining pups. Fearing for the fate of the others, she knew she had no choice but to approach the first man and first woman to shar thier food and the fire's warmth.
Slowly she crept to the fire and spoke to first woman who was heavy with child. "I am a mother," said first dog, "and soon you will be a mother too. I want my little ones to survive, just as you will want your little one to survive. So I will ask you to make a pact."
First woman and first man listened. "I am about to die. Take my pups. you will raise them and call them dog. they will be your guardians. They will alert you to danger, keep you warm, guard your camp, and even lay down thier life to protect your life and the lives or your children. They will be companions to you and all your generations, never leaving your side, as long as Mankind shall survive. In return, you will share your good and the warmth of your fire. You will treat my children with love and kindness, and tend to them if they become ill, just as if they were born from your own belly. And if they are in pain, you will tak a sharp knife to thier throat and end thier misery. In the exchange for this, you will have the loyalty of my children and thier offspring until the end of time."
First man and first woman agreed. First dog went to her nest in the brush, and with the last of her strength, one by one, she brought her pups to the fire. As she did so, first woman gave birth to first child, wrapped her in rabbit skins, and nestled the first child among the pups by the fireside. First dog lay down by the fire, licked her pups, then walked away to die under the stars.
Before she disappeared into the darkness, she turned and spoke once more to first man, "my children will hoonor the pact for all generations. But if man breaks his pact, if you or your childrens children deny even one dog food, warmth, a kind word or merciful end, your generations will be plauged with war, hunger and disease, and so shall this remain until the pact is honored again by all mankind." With this, first dog entered the night and returned in spirit to the creator. |
