These celebrity Chihuahuas were seen taking in

sights and sounds at the Palms West

celebration in Greenacres.

 

 

 

Once a homeless feral cat, this tabby

has been neutered and is now well-cared for by

the staff of a local garden center. A great

example of  TNR -- trap, neuter and return.

How Many Dogs Does It Take

 to Change A Light Bulb?

 

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

Rottweiler: Make me.

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb?

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there ....

Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle ...

Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
 

The Cat's Answer:

 

"Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: How long before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

Pet Tip

for the Month:

 

 All lilies are toxic to cats (potentially fatal) if they nibble them in bouquets or outdoors. Other plants that are toxic to cats if ingested include Daffodils, Iris, Chrysanthemums, Diffenbachia, and Philodendrum.

Visit the animal poison center of the ASPCA at www.aspca.org for more information.
