Julie has such a warm smile on her doggie face! Now, how about taking a five minute break from shopping at South Coast Plaza, Main Place Mall, or The Grove, and heading over to the shelter to say "Hi" to Julie. Not able to adopt a dog? No problem, because just giving a little attention for five minutes can make the world of difference to a shelter dog.
Dog 2: Nobody should be without a name, so I'm dubbing this little fella Zorro, since he kinda looks like he's wearing a mask. Zorro would love a little visit from you. It only takes a minute to brighten a shelter dogs day, you don't have to adopt, just say Hello and pay a little attention.
I've decided the shelter dogs at the Orange County Shelter deserve a little attention.
Today is the first day of the 12 dog days of Christmas!
Dog 1: JR. He's a darling Labrador Retriever Mix who'd love it if you'd just come by and say hello. After all, what could be more fun than a wagging tail and big brown doggie eyes?
This ad comes on tv at least once every time I'm watching television. Now, as a dog who was rescued from the pound, I'm very sentimental about shelter dogs. This commercial makes me have to wipe my eyes with my doggie paws. Every time I hear the song on the radio, I can feel the tears slipping down my fur face.
The song in this ad is "In the Arms of an Angel" by Sarah Maclachlan. It's a very haunting song. Hearing the song and looking into the eyes of each dog as the camera fades in and out on their faces is not only memorable, but breathtakingly sad.
I hope you, my one or two loyal readers, take a moment to hug your cat or dog. If you don't have a pet, please visit a local animal shelter and give a little tlc even if you can't adopt. Those few precious moments when you reach through the bars at the shelter may be the only moments of love in the life of that dog. And that can make all the difference in the world.
