I have never understood tiny dogs all that much. But oh! Chris found this one running in the streets. Our neighbor's door was open and there was a beagle inside, leashed up, barking... and this doggy running in the road and the yard. So I caught it and brought it home and he ran around scaring the rabbits and the cats and he was so so so so cute.
All I'm sayin' is that the neighbors better be damn happy that I was able to catch this pup so he didn't get hit by a car and that I already have three at home or I totally would've stolen him away!
He wasn't interested at all in being picked up by a stranger, even a stranger with salmon treats, so I had to get down on the ground and do the play bow. Then he was like, oh! She wants to play! Yipee! You'll notice that I played the same trick to get him to look at the camera for half a second to get a picture. All the rest of the pics I snapped are just brown blurs of fur.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
