Honoring Dr. King and Mommy's Mission

Does this hat make me look like a CAT?

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Martin Luther King

No Matter WHAT side you came out on for this past election, one thing was very very clear - we the people of the United States have become too complacent and things have gone WAY outta control.

Mommy decided that she was not going to be a bystander or silently stand by as people are discriminated against, marginalized, excluded, victimized, and so on.

No more. She is going to follow my EXAMPLE and bark at anything that looks wrong to her.

* I tend to stay away from too much politics on this blog - but to honor Dr. King (and I really wanted to) I had to "go there." I hope none of you are offended as the truth is I accept all points of view even if they are different from my own.

I LIVE the DREAM

Today is Martin Luther King Jr day and it is a day to reflect on who we are as a nation, as a people, as a PUG.

So I did some reflecting and came to the conclusion that I AM living the DREAM of many many pugs and PETS out there. I am talking about those in Shelter/Puppy Farms/Abused situations. . . and really, what makes me so special? Yes. . . I AM a princess pug and all that. But I could have just as easily ended up at the Humane Society looking for my FURever home. Instead, I was born into a privileged situation - a show family of champion PUGS - with a future as bright as the sun. I was BORN gorgeous. If it weren't for a LITTLE personality quirk (I kinda like to do things MY way) I was destined for the show ring. Instead, I became the ruling PRINCESS of a wonderful family of a Mother and Daughter who happen to also live with a couple of Aunties, Cousins, cat, birds and now - another dog. BUT I AM THE RULER, make no mistake.

Oh DOG!! I totally digressed from my appointed topic of FREEDOM and EQUALITY. Well, as Dr King said. . . .

"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

We, as a nation, can no longer ignore the situation of mistreatment of pets UNDER the guise of ignorance. Pick today to join one of the many groups trying to make a difference in a pet's life. The rewards will be legion.
