Archeological evidence shows that humans started coddling ‘lap dogs’ approximately as far back as dogs can reliably be DNA-separated from their wolfish ancestors.
Little dogs are aging-bone-warmers, biological personal alarms, exercise encouragers, appetite assistants, possibly vermin-alleviation (dogs have a higher body temperature, and there’s speculation that human body lice prefer that)… and great companions!
Callie has found her humans. The leader of y he pavk.

Yes, I’d say she’s adjusted. She looks like a well-used bit of mop–and a perfect companion. ;-)

Does Thurston notice when you show up with new doggy smell?

It always amazes me how quickly a dog or cat who has been without a real home quickly adapts to the love and care of good human beings. They know in their hearts that they’re safe now, that they can finally relax.
So sweet.

Sorry to thread jack, just taking a shot in the dark. Question for Mr. Cole, I have a friend who is about to start a long term rehab program in St. Albans WV, and is scrambling trying to find a home for her two cats. I know every shelter everywhere (it seems) is full to overflowing, but if you know of any resources to suggest would love to be able to pass on the info.
Thanks, and I completely understand if you’ve got nothing to suggest.

Small dogs, especially!
