You can get one much cheaper that way than you can by getting it elsewhere, they usually already have their shots, and they often come with certificates for a free spay or neuter. Plus you can feel good about knowing that you have helped to save an animal that may have been destroyed if you had not taken it in. Adoption also decreases sales of dogs bred by puppy mills or backyard breeders, making it less attractive to these people to churn out unhealthy and poorly bred animals. I re-homed a two year old dog whose owner had to go to assisted living. By that age, you also know more about what you are getting because any congenital health problems would have been discovered already, and they have already developed their personality. I did not have to go through the puppy stage, and she still has a lot of life left in her so she will be a part of our family for many years to come. She was already fixed, potty trained, and vaccinated. She does not chew things up, bark excessively, jump on people, or bite children. She is also a full breed dog with papers. She has truly been a problem free joy from the moment I brought her home.

What it is not, insist those who run it, is a place to argue the case of cat versus dog. Both animals are happily featured here, alongside other domestic animals and wild creatures.

They state their mission as being “to offer entertaining and informative articles about (and ‘by’) animals”. They want to give their visitors a chance to submit and share letters, stories, photos… and help animals by featuring various rescue centres and other non-profit animal-related organisations.

A thought: when it comes to cats vs. dogs why do we have cool cats but hot dogs? Come to that why should a sausage wrapped in a bread roll be called a hot dog, anyway? Suggestions welcome.

Luke didn’t have a dog bed as such. He had a duvet: a beautiful multicoloured effort to match the one on Joyce’s own bed.

Luke loved his duvet. He never chewed it. Nor did he do anything so downbeat or undignified as peeing on it. Luke loved his bedding so much he dragged it behind him all around the house and into the car when he was taken on anything but the shortest outing.

But he didn’t always lie on it. In fact he seldom lay on it. That duvet was a multi-purpose object from which he derived enormous pleasure tossing in the air, rolling around on it and burying himself beneath it.

His duvet lasted Luke for the whole twelve years of his life and when he was no longer around, the duvet was passed on to (and shared by) the two rescued Irish greyhounds who succeeded him.
