A Shout Out for Curry's Canine Friends

"Hi Everyone.  It's Wednesday again.  I guess that means something to you humans, but to me it's just another day of being a cat.  The only special days for me are Saturday and Sunday because that's when I get to see more of my mom.  Also, when she's home sick.  Is it bad for me to want her to be home sick more often?  Hmm... 

This edition of my blog is a public service announcement for, of all things, dogs.  Yes, you heard me say it: I don't have a problem with dogs.  Of course, I don't get to be around them much at all.  When I go to the vet there are dogs, and I like to watch them, and I'm not scared when they come up to my carrier to sniff me.  However, I don't get to tease them and mess with their minds because, like I said, I'm stuck in the carrier.  I haven't convinced mom to let me out of the carrier in the vet's waiting room.  I don't know why she's worried, because it's the dogs that should be worried.  But anyway...

I don't have a preference as to the best or the worst dog breeds.  I know that dogs come in sizes that start smaller than me (like Yorkies and Chihuahuas), and range to much, much larger than me (like Great Danes and Newfoundlands).  Some of them even weigh more than small humans.  I guess the Boxer is somewhere in between, and that's the dog I'm talking about today.  My mom has a friend named Kristin who volunteers to help Boxers who need a home.  I support this effort, because if there hadn't been a cat adoption agency to take me in, and my mom hadn't fostered and then adopted me, you probably wouldn't be reading this blog.  Because I might be a stray cat, or I might be in a bad home, or worse, I might not be here at all.  It's very humbling to know that humans do a lot for us animals (even though we are superior to them).  By the way, the Boxers in the photo above are Cassius and Millie and they live with my mom's other friend Rachel.

So, if you have a place in your home, and your heart, to take in a Boxer who needs a temporary home, or a forever home, please call the folks at Adopt A Boxer Rescue at 877-570-0360.  They work all over the Northeast US.  I hear that right now there is a great need for foster and permanent homes in the Washington, DC metro area (specifically, Maryland).  If you can't take in a Boxer, maybe you know someone who can.  Or maybe you could make a donation.  In any case, please help us spread the word.

And of course, I hope you will also help out cats in need.  You don't need to go any farther than your local animal shelter to find a cat who needs your love.  You can also start at Petfinder.

There.  I've done my duty for my canine friends.  Please consider helping Adopt A Boxer Rescue and tell them Curry sent you."

Uh, folks, everything Curry said is right, but don't tell the kind folks at Adopt A Boxer Rescue that Curry sent you; they will have no idea who you're talking about.  Unless, of course, you share this blog with them!
